that might be the caae, but nut from Eng

suggested to the admiralty that It would be
necessary, In order to bring; effective pres
sure oe Veeesuela, blockade the portt
of La Guarra. Puerto Cgbello and Mara
calbo, toward the end of November, and
nil all Veneiuelan gunboata "until the
Fernanda are compiled with."
Lord I.n4owne, on October 22, aaid tha
blockade waa open to lomi objection, but
ndoraed the seizure of the vessels.
In another communication, dated Novem
ber IT, Lord Lansdowne aald that German r
concurred In the view that Joint action
abould be maintained until the demand or
both government were aatlafled.
After settling with Oermany the node
of procedure and tha Inatructlona ' to be
ent to tha naval commander, Lord Lans
downe. on November 27, informed Mr.
Haggard thereof, and gave inatructlona aa
to bl coorse- regarding the presentation
of tha ultimatum and the minister's de
parture from Caracae, which have been
alnca followed out.
Common rlae Affair.
The House Of Commons waa crowded this
venlng when the Veneiuelan matter came
up for debate. Henry White, the Amer
ican charge d'affalrs, bad a seat. In. the
diplomatic gallery. ' " '
Lord Cranborne egplained that the pa
per were most voluminous and thoee la
ued today were only a summary. , Great
Drltatb had to perform police duty and to
prevent Venezuela frnni breaking the law
of nations.. The United States took the
sensible view that Great Britain' Insist
ence that Veneiuela should meet her en
gagements waa not an Infraction of the
Monroe doctrine.
"No country nas been more anxious than
Great Britain," said be, "to aalst the
American government In maintaining that
doctrine."
Continuing, he aald tha British govern
ment bad dlaplayed great forbearance, and
It waa only after Venezuela had been thrice
summoned to do right that the government
had been driven to strong measures.
Tha liberal leader, Blr Hsnry Campbell
Bannerman, voiced his strong dissatisfac
tion at Lord Cranborne's speech and com
plained of lack of Information.
Mr. Balfour declared there was no Jus
tlflation tor tha assumption that the gov
ernment was prepared to go to war for the
Veneiuelan bondholders. The crux of the
matter was a series of outrages by Vene
tuela on British seamen and ship ownera,
for which not only had compensation been
refused, but Great Britain's remonstrance
had been entirely disregarded.
In ao far aa the financial claims were
concerned, the government was prepared
to agree to a tribunal to assess tbem
equitably.
He added that the United States govern
ment had not suggested arbitration, and It
was unfortunate Veneiuela should not have
thought of the advantages of arbitration
during the long period covered by the con
troversy, but on the contrary ahould have
refused all explanation or apology until
actually engaged In hostilities.
LONDON, Dep. 16. With the exception
of what Is, termed Lord Cranborne's un
fortunate remarks about It being Great
Britain's duty to police the nations, gen

A movement is on foot here, headed by
prominent doctors and. lawyers, to request
President Castro to re-sign and to ask Vieo
Prealdent Ramon Ayala to assume the

BERLKf, Dec. 16. The foreign office to

Assigned to Italian ships. The proceedings

" NEW YORK, Dec. IS. The following
presidential manifesto is now being pro
fusely distributed here, Bays a World dis
patch from Caracas; ,
'Another act of very grave nature on the
part of tha perfidious foreigner has Just
t.-en effected against the city of Puerto
Cabello, viz.:
The bombardment of that port by the
combined fleets of England nd Germany
without -any previous declaration of war
or the fulfillment of any of the formalities
established, by law for carrying on an act
of force.
It l no longer an act against the gov
ernment and the people of Veneiuela hut
against the general principles ot civiliza
tion end against those ntiins who have
valuable . assets In thai port, and who.
therefore, have a perfect rlKht t expect
the fulfillment of the neceisnry formalities
In such cases, which were utterly Ignored,
as no time was given for the withdrawal
of women and children from the dangers
of the bombardment.
This not only was cowardly, but It Is an
Insult to all the nations, and I denounce It
as such In the name of the principles of
civilization professed by Venezuela.
The august shades of our liberators are
no doubt rising from their tombs, majestic
and severe, to awaken In the Venezuelans
In these solemn moments the love of their
country, which Is once more under painful
trial.
I call on you to answer to their summons.

' The Herald correspondent In Caracas
says be has learned on reliable au
thority that the government of Ar
gentina, In a dispatch from Buenos
Ayrea, has instructed Its consular repre
sentative to report to Buenos Ayre as
early as possible what appears to be the
attitude of the United States and what
view that government Is likely to take of
Its obligations under the Monroe doctrine
In the face of the aggressive action of
Great Britain and Germany.
Should the United State decide to re
main Impassivo the government of
of Argentina, feeling that the autonomy of
all the Soutb American states Is
Jeopardized, Is preparing to take a decided
stand by the side of Venezuela and to
offer assistance to President Castro..

have been exchanged between official rep
resentatives of the Venezuelan government
and those of Chill. '
Intense excitement continues here over
the situation In Venezuela, says the Pan
ama correspondent of the Herald.
Colombians feel they., are Justified In
being alarmed over the situation. It Is
pointed out that Colombia may soon bo
brought to account for hundreds of Gorman
and Erltish claims, which will be rigor
ously dlsputf d.
These alleged debts, whlct? grew out of
the late revolution, are said to be imaginary,
yet with the present interpretation of the

are at th mercy of the capricious whim
of European powers. . ,
WASHINGTON, 'Deo; - 15.-'-Mrv Bowen
has confirmed the press report, to tbe effect
that the guns ot tbe allied fleet which bomn
barded Puerto Cabello on Sunday, were di
rected. entirely at the fortlflcatloDa and not
at the town.
Regrettable aa It was, this statement re
lieve the affair of the first suspicion that
it constituted a violation of International
law. In the fact that twenty-four hours
notice was not served of tbe bombard
ment. The situation Is causing considerable
comment among senators, and there Is an
Indication that a resolution ot Inoulry may
be Introduced at nn early (Jay. Thla pro
ceeding. In all probability, would have
been Instituted today but for the fact that
assurances were received from the State
department that its Information Is meager.
If the subject comes up It will probably
be dealt with in executive session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. (Special Tele
gram.) Senator Millard has asked the
Post office department to defer action on
the recommendation of Moseley for post
master at South Omaha until be can have
conference with the postmaster general.
Colonel John 8. Moaby Is again In 'Wash

of some rather breexy interview printed

ha been recalled by Secretary Hitchcock,
In order that censure might be admin
istered. Secretary Hitchcock, however, to
day aald that this was not true, "Colonel
Mosby was sent to Omaha upon a special
mission, with instructions to report to the
general land office upon Its completion,"
said Mr. Hitchcock. "The fact that he re
turns, at this time Is only an Indication
he has accomplished bis mission and re
turns to report. Colonel Mosby . bat ac
complished a good work, and the story
that he I In bad odor with this depart
ment I wish to deny most emphatically."
Colonel Mosby will have a conference
with Secretary Hitchcock tomorrow on sev

A local paper yesterday states that there
were growing differences between Senator
Millard and Representative-elect J. J. Mc

masterships, and especially over the post
mastership at Ponca, Mr. McCarthy' home
town. Senator Millard, who waa at the
capltol today, after several days' illness,
said. In reply to the statement that the
Ponca postofflce matter as between Mc
Carthy and himself bad never been dis
cussed; that he had announced to all can
didates for the postmastershlps who had
addressed him on the subject that they
would first have to secure the recommends
tlon of Mr. McCarthy before any action of
bis would be taken. While the Ponca of
fice has never been up for consideration,
still It would properly come within the
terms expressed to candidates throughout
the Third district. The term of the pres

DAWSON, Dec. 15. Keen excitement and
apprehension prevail at White Horse and
various point along th line of tbe new
government trail at tbe report that a band
of Hluako Indian ha taken tbe warpath
between the Little Salmon and Petty rivers.
A store I reported to have been looted and
burned, the proprietor killed and another
man fatally Injured.
The Little Salmon Indian are said to
be panic-stricken at the outbreak and are
sending their squaw and children to the
police detachment at Tanalui, near the
Yukon crossing, for protection.
Major Cutbbert has been fully apprised
Of tno report by wire and ba Issued an
order mobilizing the men In his command.
and In case the new of the outbreak is
confirmed will leave for Selkirk immedi
ately with fifty men.
It I stated that 150 to 200 Indians are
tn the hostile parties, headed by two well
known chiefs. At last account they were
holding a war dance and had worked them
selves Into a murderous frenxy.
Trouble with the Indians In this region
bas been expected for a long time, because
three of their .number were banged in 189D
for the murder of a prospector on the Little
Salmon.
While Major Cuthbert Is rather reticent
a regards details, It is known that the

86 cent a night.
Judge Gray appeared Indignant. He asked
where ber father worked, and she told him
In the mines, and then he added:
"I would like to see the fathers of these
girls. It may be a necessity to send them
to the mills, but I don't think a father has
a right to coin tha flesh and blood ot his
children Into money. It' an outrage. I
would like to see what instincts he has."
HI honor seemed quite angry as he
spoke, but, though they remained silent,
the other commissioners apparently shared
bl views.
Mr. Darrow said It wa not altogether
the fault of the parents, as the employers
were to blame for not paying enough
wage to permit a man to keep hi chil
dren In (chool.
Judge Gray replied: "That may be, but
there are miner who receive enough pay
to enable them-to keep their children out
of the workhouse."
A small Slavonian girl, aged 12, who also
worked twelve hours each night, received
S cents an hour.
She was asked whether her father owned
the house she 'lived in, and she replied:
"Yes."
Judge Gray, who was standing up and
leaning over to . get the girl' answer,
traightened up at this, and as he walked
to bl seat, remarked: "Well, 'I'd like to
ee ber father."
"Another 11-year-old girl aald she wdrked
