THE OMAHA DAIliY IlEx SATURDAY. DECEMBER 13. .1902. lleved, however, that neither Great Britain not Germany la likely to do so. Statements attributed to the counsels fend other representatives of Vrneiuela In 'European clilea all 'betray a stronger feel ing against Oermanjr than against Oreat Britain, aa well aa reliance on the United States to prevent any Anglo-German In iraalon of Venezuela. The Venezuelan con ul at Oenoc la credited with the asser tlon that the armed Intervention of the I'nlted Statea would be certain to imme diately follow any aurh atep. A dlapath from Berlin to the Morning Post says the. British commander In Venez uelan water will, aa aenlor officer In the .future direct all Joint action by the Anglo German fleet after having, coniulted with Commodore B'heder, the Ocrman com mander. Germany has no Intention of , tending a force to the Interior of Venes tiela. The Venezuelan consul here Is reported as laying that the recent negotiations reported from Washington of a loan of $8,000,000. An International bank under European control waa to bo established and Interest on the loan was to be guaranteed by the customs. Fiscal agents were to be Installed In all custom houses and were themselves to collect the Interest on the loan. If at any time the customs receipts proved In sufficient to meet the Interest tLe govern ment undertook to make good any deficiency out of other revenue. It was considered essential to learn the Attitude of the United States. While final steps were being taken the crisis became acute. An unofflflk! effort was then made to gain the good drrtoes of the I'nlted States In order to procure for Venezuela a slight extension of time. The final arrangements were cabled from London to President Cx- tro and were ready for presentation to the Foreign office when the ultimatum waa pre tented. .- This plan by no means hat been given up, although of course all negotiations are at a standstill. Unless matters go to further extremities a settlement on some such ba ils Is stilt possible. Depo.lt of Coal Seised. CARACAS, Deo, 12. The government haa taken preservative measures at La Guayra.

During the Incarceration of Brltaint aud Oermans here Mr. Bowen and his secretary of legation went to the Jail five timet and assisted the poor colored British subjects and those who were ill. , The order for the release of the prisoners haa made a good Impression and It looked upon as a politic act on the part of Presi dent Castro. Everyone in Caracas believe the altuatlon to be desperate and war cer tain unless Mr. Bowen succeeds In having the matters Id dispute submitted to ar bitration.

The point at issue was the own ership of some 15.000 acres of valuable land at the point where the two states meet. The dispute was caused by the .changing of the current of the .Missouri river. Formerly the river made a great bend and came around aguln, leaving only a short neck of land. On July 7, 1866, the river broke across thl neck and plnce then the line haa been in dispute. .

The st at 4 of Missouri was represented by Bam B. Jeffries, assistant attorney gen eral, and W, H. Kellner. . Tho report will be tent to the United State supreme court. The commission found that a line drawn 'through the territory of the old river bed, .equal distance from each side, represented the main channel pf the Missouri river prior to 1866, and that all. land lying on the Missouri tide , of tho line belonged to the state of Missouri and all land lying on the Nebraska aide of said line belonged to that state. . The river shortened Ita course fourteen, .,' mllea by. the cutting through of the neck of land. Prior to that time the land had. been wild and swampy, but with the 'changing of the river bed It becamq rich and. productive, and la now in a high state of cultivation, worth from $60 to $100 per acre. .

BIG CROWD ON HAND TO WITNESS EVENT Frlahtened Horse and Kseaplna; Hawser Mar Proceedings with , Minor Fatalities He tore Work la Postponed Till Monday, SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12. An unsuc cessful attempt wai made today to lay the shore end of the Taclflc cable. A strong, unfavorable tile was the chief cause. Of the failure, though minor casual ties marked the efforts ot the workmen at the shore end, one ot the victims being Clarence H. .Mackay. . Perfect weather conditions prevailed and fully 25,00(1 people gathered at the beach. Ellvertown got under way soon after day light and was at anchor off the beach soon after 9. The surf was breaking heavily off shore and It waa consequently decided to delay, hauling the cable ashore, until the water became somewhat smoother. Clarence H.. Mackay and his fellow officers of the Pacific Commercial Cable company had two large tents erected on the landi close to where the shore connection waa to be made, and there they entertained their friends a they arrived. ' ' It was nearly 11 o'clock before the life saving crews from the South eide and tbo Baker's Beach station appeared with their surfboats, ready to lend any assistance that might be needed In communicating between the steamer and the shore. The boats, with , two boata launched from the .steamer, 'car- : ried . a large rope from Sllvertown to a point Just outside- the breakers -and there lay while awaiting the boat ot the Golden Gat Park life-saving crew to take the end j of the rope to land.. 1 This boat, drawn by the horses of the station, galloped down bravely Into the turf ; and the men climbed Into their places. A favorable wave rolled Well up on the shelv ing sand and the boat was shot from Its carriage Into, the water. There was a .cheer from the crowd as the men. met the breaker , which scared the horse. They broke away from the driver and with the boat carriage dragging after plunged Into the. crowd. . Several of th children were knocked over and ono little girl about 7 years old, who aid her name waa Hutching, had her right leg bruised. She was carried into the tent, where the refreshments were being served to the special guests, and there a physician attended to her Injuries. The horses were caught by Joseph Wright who, though he waa rolled over several timet and barely escaped being trampled on clung to the bridles and tucceeded In bring ing them to a atop just as they reached Mr. Mackay't tent. After several attempt! tho life-saving crew succeeded In getting ashore a hawser to which was attached the cable. Then they waited four and a half hours tor even water before attempting to draw the cable ashore. The - hawser bellied down so that It was impossible to do anything against the strong tide. Finally a number of men took hold ot the hawser for a final, pull. It flew up and struck Clarence Mnckay on the chin and carried him oft his feet. George,, W. Mc Near was hit on the head and rendered un conscious.. Frank .Hotallng of New York Was struck In the face, sustaining quite a cut, and . George .
