DUTCH SEIZE GUARDSH|P
Capture Venezuelan Vessel OH
Puerto CabeNO.

Nillemstad, Island of Curacao, Dec.
14.-The Dutch cruiser Gelderland
came into this port towing the Vene-
zuelan coast guardship Aliy with the
Dutch flag flying and a Dutch crew
on board. The Gelderland captured
the Alix OFF Puerto Cabello on Satur-
day. At that time the Alix was lying
close in shore and. notwithstanding
the threat which the Venezuelan gov
eminent had made to fire upon any
of the Dutch warships committing a
hostile act, the Gelderland steamed
at full speed toward the guardsaip
and sent an officer and guard in a
launch to seize her. This they did
without resistance and no shots came
from tho forts on land.
The crew OF the Alix vas put ashore
and the Dutch officer and marines re.
NAMED on board.
The seizure Of the Alix was in &C.
cordance with the plans of the Hol
land government when instructions
were issued to the three Dutch war
ships now in these waters to make a
demonstration off the coast Of Vene
zuela and to capture any Venezuelan
ships of war or guard vessels that
they might find.

TWO SCORE ARE KILLED
Terrific Explosion Of Dynamite
on Canal Zone.

Colon, Panama, Dec. 1.-Two score
or more persons were killed and about
fifty injured when $4,000 pounds of
dynamite exploded at Bas Obispo. a
railroad camp fifteen miles from Pan
ANA, practically demolishing the
camp.
Fifteen bodies already have been
recovered and from fifteen to thirty
more are believed to be buried under
tons of debris that marks the spot
where the camp was. Of the fifty in
jured many are believed to have re.
ceived fatal injuries.
Nearly all of the victims so far re-
ported are Spaniards or native half
breeds, all of them having been labor
ers employed on the work of the canal
or Panama railroad.
Just before the dynamite let go with
a terrific oar a train bearing several
American engineers and officials OF
the canal Zone passed the spot. The
force of the explosion was so great
that the tracks Immediately behind
the train were torn up and the win.
dows in the rear cars shattered. Aside
from a few minor bruises and cuts
no Ole on the train was hurt.
