Panther appeared to be not more than GOO yards from the fort. Her guns were being fired every minute. The fort could not be seen for the clouds of nmoke , but It was plain that the Vene- Euelan gunners w.ere answering the Gorman flro splendidly and with great rapidity. At 1 o'clock In the afternoon an ex plosion occurred , apparently in the fort , and a cloud of smoke covered a part of the ramparts. A number of Indian fishermen were intercepted , fleeing from the direction of the fort in their canoes. They reported that the smoke seen was from the burning Tillage of San Carlos , which had been shelled by the German ships and was In flnmpR.

WESTERN STOCKYARDS SUFFER. Kenyan T < Is Interstate Commission Chicago Is Aided by Railroads. Chicago , .Ian. 22. Representatives of live Htock IntoruHtH of Omaha , St. Jonopli and Sioux City took turns yes- tnnlay In tolling the Interstate com merce commission how , In their opin ion , Chicago Is favored In rates and In train service over thcso cities. W. J. C. Kenyan , manager of the South Omahii stock yaids , testified that If stock trains maintained the same rntn of speed used from Cumber land to Omaha In going from Omaha to Chicago , tliu time between the lat ter point H would ho thirty-eight hours , Instead of twenty-three , as at present. Shippers to Omaha were further hampered by trains arriving In that city In the afternoon Instead of In the favored hours of the morning. Mr. Kenyan stated that figures showed that shipments to Chicago had not dc creased and he knew of no conditions which required a change of the former relative ra.tes between live stock and the manufactured goods. If the hearing results in a decision that thnro should bo a reduction In the rates on live stock from Missouri river territory to Chicago , the rail roads may be compelled to meet a num ber of claims for the difference be tween the rate as decided upon and that which baa been charged. These claims , If they are ( lied by all of the shippers who have paid or may here after pay the higher rate , will amount to millions of dollars. _ _ Ankeny In the Lead. Olympla , Wash. , Jan. 22.
