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.

LONDON, Dec. 18. 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

thought, will certainly be the power ulti
mately to. decide the question.

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.

hearing here yesterday and was bound over
to the next term ot Meade county circuit,
court In the sum of $1,000. Brown Is the
roan who cut up James Bullts at White Owl
with a buteher knife.. Word comes to tbe
effect, that Bullls is In a very critical con
dition and Is not able to be up. There
seems to have been no cause for the trouble,
except whisky. The two men had been
butchering cattle, and Brown gave Bullls
bis revolver, ssylng he might shoot some
body such Is the story. Bullls threw the
gun away. Afterward Brown proceeded to
slice Bullts up with a butcher knife and
was laughing all the time. Then Brown left
for Pierre, where he was arrested.

WateklasT Strike at Cheyenne.
CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Dec. 18. (Special.)
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.

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.

WHAT IT nEANS TO YOU. -'
Few People Iteallse the Importance nt
Good Uliteatloa Vntll It la Lost. '
Many people suffer from dyspepsia and do
not know It. Tbey feel mean, out of sorts,
peevish, do pot sleep wall, do not have a
good, keen appetite, do not have the In
clination and energy . for physical or men
tal work they once. had, but .at the same
time do not feel any particular pain or
distrees In the. stomach. Yet all '.his Is
the result of poor digestion, an Insidious
form of dyspepsia which can only be cured
by a remedy specially intended to cure It t
and make tbe digestive organs act natur-
nttv Anil nrnnnrlv Hfo-pat thn fnnit fat on 1
Bitters, after dinner pills and nerve tonics
will never help the trouble: they don't
reach It. The new, medloal discovery does.
It Is called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
Is a specific for dyspepsia and Indigestion.
It cures because It thoroughly digests all
wholesome food taken Into the stomach,
whether the stomach is in good worktng
order or not.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by digesting
tjie food instead of making the wornout
stomach Ao all the wqrk, gives It a much
needed rest and a cure ot dyspepsia ts the
catural result. ,t'.
When you are nervous, run down and
sleepless don't make the common mistake
of supposing your nervous system needs
treatment and fill . your stomach with
powerful nerve tonics which make you feel
good for a little while, only to fall back
farther than ever. - "
Your- nerves are all right, but they are
starved. Ibey wsnt food.
Nourish 'them with wholesome every day
food and plenty of It. well digested, and
you can laugh aY nerve tonics and medi
cine. ....
But the, nerves? wlj'l not be nourished
from a weak, abused stomach, but when
the digestion has been mads perfect by
the use of thla remedy all nervous symp
toms dlssppesr.
Who ever beard -of a man or woman
blessed with a vigorous digestion and good
appeitite being troubled with their nerves?
Good- tsstidn means a strong nervous
system, abundance of energy and capacity
to enjoy the good things of life.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will certainly
set your stomach and digestive organs
right; they can't help but do It because
they- nourish the body by digesting tbe
ford eaten and rest tie stomach.
You get nourishment and rest at one and
the same time and that Is all the wornout
dyspeptic' needs to build him up snd give
new life lo every organ and an added xest
to every pleasure. '
Stuart'r Dyspepsia Tablets are a God
send to tbe army of men and womep with
weak stomachs, weak nerve and Justly
merits tbe claim of being one of the most
worthy medical' discoveries of the time.
