German Minister Lands. Copyrlght, 1904. by Press Publishing Co.) CARACAS, Venezuela, Dec. 18. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) It Is rumored here that Charybdls, a Second class English crulecr which was en Raged In tho bombarding of Puerto Cabello, lost one officer and several sailors In the engagement by shots fired from the Ven ezuelan fortress. The first report that the German man-of-war Vlnota had beeti damaged by the fir from the fort It confirmed, but the In juries are only slight. Herr Von Pllgrlm-Daltazzl, German charge d'affalrs, Isnded today at La Guayra and held a brief telephonic conversation with Mrs. Pllsrlm-Ealtazzl, who Is lying 111 In this rlty. He was afterward enter tained by the prefect of La Guayra and re turned on board a German cruiser. During the day, too, the British man-of-war purchased fresh, provisions from the Venezuelans at that port. , f ' Upon being questioned today with regard to the report that the Aflglo-German ulti matum bad been accepted by Venezuela, President Castro became furious with rage and said there waa no truth In the report. He added: 1 The acceptance of an ultimatum cannot be coupled with arbitration. ReM.le. the Ang'o-urman ultimatum Is not, properly speaking, an ultimatum. When asked if It were true that Venezuela was taking diplomatic steps to arrange fo arbitration, and that arrangements In tb' connection were well advanced. Preslden Castro, said: The government of Venezuela does not propone to ' i-termlne on anv hipi whll the proposition for arbitration that the! legation of the United States was charged to present to Great Britain and Germany remains unanswered At noon no answer on the subject of the proposed arbitration had been received from Washington. Bar Allies Aid Rebels. Documents and letters seized by the Ven ezuelan authorities are aaid to prove the connection of the Matos revolutionists with the recent demonstration of the allies against Venezuela. It Is reported that alnce the capture of the Venezuelan fleet munitions of war have been shipped epenry from' Wlllemstad Curacao ts points on the Venezuelan coast. The revolutionists are showing signs of activity, but the ' government has taken steps to crush the nw uprising. Germany Wants an Apology. . BERLIN, Dec. IS Aside from the finan cial claims mentioned In Its ultimatum, Germany expects some form of ap log? from Venezuela for the diplomatic insults which the Foreign office says ara more gr'-es than those of which Great Britain complains. The foreign office Is sgaln calling at ten'.ton to the susplol'ns In the United Utates lest Germany effect a landing In Venezuela. It asys a refutation of such suspicions ought to be perceived In the slender forces at the- dlprsltlon of Ger many. There are scarcely 30 men who could be spared from the squaflron, not a sufficient number to lake La Guayra, let alone fi rm an eipcdltln Into the Interior. The otTlrlals of the Foreign rffl.-e say that the reply to Venezuelan's srhltraMon pro posals has not yet been rent. The Foreign office is still eichan?lng views rn the sub ject with London. Although the foreign office dree rot rive the kast bint of the character cf Germany's reply, It ippti cer tsln that arbltratirn will not be accepted, although the refusul may be accompanied with f-h suggestions.

No answer has yet been sent or decided upon regarding Vene zuela's proposition for arbitration. The cabinet met this afternoon to discuss the matter, but possibly nothing final will be arrived at until tomorrow. . The question of a guaranty for the ful fillment of the decisions arrived at remains the great difficulty. In tbe government's view, in the way of tbe acceptance of arbi tration. The ennounement that President Castro had entrusted Mr. Bowen with full powers to arrange a settlement wns received at the Foreign office with much Interest. Tbe dispatch which contained this announce ment was immediately taken to Lord Lans downe and . apparently conveyed to the Foreign office officiate he first definite news that such actio4, had been taken. The Brussels co.-r 'tpondent of the Dally Telegraph says Germany ts supporting the claims of Belrlum against Venezuela, which amount to $1,230,000. Italy Is Not Worried. ROME, Dec. IS. Instructions have been sent to Senor Dl Rlvas, the Italian minister to Venezuela, who Is on board the Italian cruiser Gulvannl Bauaan at La Guayra, to be guided by circumstances and tbe best measures to take, alwavs, however, bearing In mind the agreement with Germany and Great Britain and the necessity for uni formity ot action. The general -opinion here Is that Venezuela will end by giving way to the Inevitable. ' Much Is 'hoped from the In fluence of the United States which. It la thought, will certainly be the power ulti mately to. decide the question. Ileln In Offered Venezuela.. NEW YORK, Dec. IS.

SEER TO SHOW VIOLENCE Nonunionists Tell Talei of Eiot and Boycott Daring; Recent Strike. JUDGE GRAY GROWS INDIGNANT AT ONCE Calls Tkoae Who Force Merchants to rtefaae Pales and Men Who Dl. rharare Innocent Partlea Con temptible Cowards. BCRANTON, Fa., Dec. 18. The strike commission listened today, to further evi dence called on behalf of the nonunlonists to show a reign of terror during the mine workers' strike. About a score of wit nesses fold of boycotts, attacks by crowdi of men, women and boys and an attempt to burn the bouse of a nonunion man. In most Instances the offenders were alleged to be members of the miners' union. The . miners objected frequently to the admission ot hearsay evidence and some times because ot Irrelevancy. The chairman, while explaining that the commission was not bound by strict rules of evidence, asked counsel to confine them selves' as far as possible to direct testi mony. The commission wanted to know whether a reign of terror existed and could not get that Information If the strict rules of evidence were followed. "The coward who will go to the store keepers." added the Judge, "and sell them not to sell the neceesarlea ot life to a poor woman usually seeks the obscurity that the law of evidence throws around him. If a girl Is discharged from her position In a store because she rode in a street car In inclement weather while a street car strike was on the cowsrd who discharged ber Is coward enough to refuse to testify." Jadgce Would Risk All. He recognized, he said, why some mer chants would not come forward and tell who forced them to refuse to sell to certain boycotted people. But If he were a store keeper he would risk his all to assist In breaking up the cowardly business. AS soor as the hearing opened the wage statements of the Delaware, Lackawanna ft Western and Philadelphia ft Reading companies were filed. The first witness called said a member of the. miners' union threatened to kill him if be did not stop working and finally did shoot at him. The offender was sent to prison. Th next three witnesses were John Hoff man, bis son, both of whom, "were working at the' Upper Lehigh colliery assisting in putting In a new boiler, and another son employed In the mines. Tbe father said how the strikers cams at midnight to harm a son, who fled Ave miles to another town. The crowd then smashed the furniture and attempted to burn tbe house. Mrs. Kate McNamara of Parsons, the mother of four small children, whose hus band was In the mines and could no, come for fear of bodily harm, testified that her borne was destroyed by fire at night andhe and her children were rescued with difficulty. Counsel for the miners called tbe com mission's attention to tbe fact that the fire had not been connected with tbo strikers. Judge Gray said while the evidence did not deal directly with the fire by Inferenoo It was most probably, of Incendiary origin. Other witnesses were called to prove they were boycotfed and otherwise Intimidated. Mob Attacks Two. August Scheuch ot Hazleton, who worked for the Lehigh through the suspension, said he was attacked by a mob and severely In jured. He whs' carrying a revolver, but did not use It because he waa afraid of hitting his son, who was being beaten by tbe crowd. Many of bis assailants were strikers and among them was Squire Mc Kelvey of Hazleton. Hpnry Vermlllye of Dorrsncrtown, near Wtlketbarre, said he waa forced to Join tho union by the superintendent of the John C. Haddock Coal company In order to keep peace at the colliery. Thle was before the strike began. Later he left the company because be thought the union was running the place and went to work for another company during the strike. He waa hung l In effigy, stones were thrown at him while going to and from his work and storekeep ers were compelled to refrain from selling his relatives the necessaries of life. - John Doran, manaser of the Wllkesbarre lace mills, testified that because he would not discbarge two girls who had relatives working In tbe mines the 100 employes went on strike and staved out eight weeks until the matter was fixed up: These witnesses and others claimed that their wives were Insulted on the streets and their children could not be safely sent to school. Tbe men were shot at and hanged In efflry snd life waa generally made miser able for them and their families. The commission wilt adtourn on Saturday and reconvene in Philadelphia on Jan uary 5.

Union Pacific strikers here are anxiously awaiting the result of the onferenco now being held in New York between President Burt of tbe I'nlon Pacific and Mr. Harrl man. The local men feel confident that the end of the bollermakera' strike at least Is la tight, and that If this trouble Is settled It will not be a difficult matter tor Ue blacksmiths and machinists to settle their differences with tbe company. A number of men who left the loest shops when the wslkout occurred ard who secured employ ment on other roads have returned to spend the holidays, and will be on hand to take their old positions In case of an early settlement of the trouble. . These men re port that there Is plenty of work In all parts of the country for skilled mechanics, and they bring hope and encouragement to the local strikers, all of whom could secure work elsewhere did they care to forsake their picket duties. In some sections there Is a shortage of skilled machinists, boiler makers and blacksmiths, and this fact, the strikers ssy. renders It almost Impossible for the Union Pacific to get a sufficient number of desirable men to man its shops, for union men will not work where a strike ts on.

Mill THE GREAT CU E FOR RB1AT1SI RIDCELY WANTS MURE NOTES Urgeg Law Anlhoriiinfr Contrtctieu snd Inflation of Onrrenoy. GOVERNMENT SH0UID SECURE ALL ISSUES Pond Deposits and Taxes Wottld t;ur antee Treasury Aanlnat Loss If Congress Adopts Idea of Comptroller. NEW YORK, Dec. IS. William Barrett Rldgely, comptroller of the currency, Woodiow Wilson, president of rrinceton university; the Rev. Dr. Robert S. Mc Arthur, Major General Adna R. Chaffee and John 8. Wise were the principal speak ers at the annual banquet of the Ne York State Bankers' association given at the Waldorf Astoria tonight. Mr. Rldgely spoke on "Elasticity in the Currency," and said in part: The one great objection which ran be fairly made to our national banking system ie the lack of elasticity In the currency. Any complete and eu tlafactory solution of our preeent currency irobScms shoulil In clude some plan for the retirement of tn legal tenders. I believe the banknote cir culation can be grtatly Improved by a few iulte conservative changes which will add to Its elasticity or rather Introduce some elasticity where there is now practically none, and I urge every man who agrees that these changes will Improve the. cur rency to give his support to the'effort even if what Is proposed does not accomplish all he wishes. The act of ISM prohibits the retirement of more than $.'1,(hi0,i) national banknotes In any calendar month. This prohibition has prevented contraction of the currency when note became redundant and also prevented expansion when It was needed, owing to this difficulty many banks n-fuse to In crease their circulation when otherwise they would do so. Whatever necessity there ever waa for thin restriction on re tirement hns long since ceased to exist, and the restriction should be removed. If there is nothing else done in regard to the cur rency this should be done at once. The prime requisite for an elastic cur rency Is frequent redemption and reeiom of retirement To have proper anil true elasticity contrnctlblllty Is ae necessary as expansibility. We have In circulation such a vast amount of currency which Is prac tically Inflexible In volume, lettal tender treasury notes, gold and sliver certificates, us well as banknotes, that It l and will continue to be difficult to Introduce any elasticity Into It. It must all be supplied by tbe banknotes. ' I think the beet plnn which his been sug gested. Is to allow these banks to ifue more thnn yat value of the bonds de posited, but tho- first consideration should be to make these notes absolutely gecuro to the holder. The government cm rafely guarantee or secure them ir protected by bonds held for a part of their value and by a guarantee fund raised uy lax or pre mium for Insurance levied on the bank circulation. Th? restrictions of the ra tional banking act In these regards have been demonstrated to be wise and bene ficial. It would be much better for the business of the country If Its commercial banking were done mainly by biirks In a uniform svetem under government supervision. This should be encouraged by making the system as attractive and profitable as can fairly or safely be done. These additional notes should be exactly the same in form and Iyi all respects as thoee now lesued. In fact the change should be merely the Increase of the permission so that a bank might Issue one and one half times the par value of the bonds de posited, the maximum amount of bonds remaining the same as now, equal to the capital stock of the bank. In the course of bla address General Chaf fee said the only two experiences be bad of banking he had never been ablo to under oUnd. One was whffi be loaned a blank chock to a friend when ho only had $W0 lu the bank and the check came back pro tested with $2.25 charges. The other wns In China. -Tho govern ment deposited $10,000 to his credit and he notified the bnnk that ,ho wanted $5,000.

Tho Board of Hfalth there made mo undergo an examination in medicine, although I think I know something of that branch of my profession. Curiously enough, some weeks later tbey made me a doctor of laws, al though I know nothing of law.
