WEDNESDAY'S BATTLE IS CONTINUED Twelve Trnesoelaa Killed on First Day, Fortlnratlon Damaged aad (inns Dlamoaated la plte of Bad Markamaaahlp. MARACAIBO, Jan. 2i The bombard ment of Fort San Carlos by the German cruisers Vlnets, Panther and Falke was continued yeslerdsy afternoon until S o'clock. It was resumed this morning at day break. The first shells were hurled at the fort at 4 o'clock at long range. At Panther, belag ot light draught, closed In and again became actively engaged. The fort re plied. At 8. the engagement was proceed ing aa fiercely aa yeaterday. Twelve dead and fifteen badly wounded Venexuelana were counted In the fort at 7 last night. The result of today's bom bardment Is not yet known. Report First Day's Flarht. Panlhcr left its position close to Fort San Carlos, which It took up earlier In the day, yesterday afternoon at i. and Joined Falke, halt a mllo outside the har bor and about five miles from the fort. At 3 the corrhBpondcut of the Associated Press, It, a rowboat, approached one sldo of the fort, out of range, and witnessed tho long range fire of the German cruisers, which i was continued from 3 till 6. Vineta and Falke were close together and nearer the fort than Panther. The first two vessels, at a range of four and a half miles, poured In a continuous rain ofshell and only stopped firing when It became dark. At this hour the German vessels retired seaward, after having made two Ineffectual attempts to land troops In the village of San Carlos, situated at the base of the fort. At 7 on Wednesday evening the corre spondent, who was accompanied by a gov ernment telegrapher bearing a telegram from President Castro to the commandant of San' Carlos, landed on the Island and entered the fort. The walls were terribly battered and there were many evidence of the fierce engagement. Twelve dead Venetuelan soldiers were counted behind the ramparts and fifteen other men, se rlouslr wounded, were lying on a low plat form. The fort was literally covered with pieces of broken shells, though many ot the German shells had not exploded. The magazine bad a harrow escape, two shells having come within an aca of pene trating It. ' It It estimated by the commandant, Gen. eral Bello, that the German ships fired more than 1,600 shells. German Ala I Bad. Although the damage Inflicted by the sustained Ore of the German cruisers Is great, it It not at that would be expected from tuch a continuous fire from modern high power guns. The village of San Carlos suffered greatly. - The aim of the German gunuera appeared to have been Inaccurate, for mora than 60 per cent of their shells exploded In the village before reaching the fort. The cannon mounted at San Carlos had not sufficient range to reach Falke and Vineta, ao tho fire from these vessels wat not returned. Vineta and Falke draw too much water to cross the bar. Panther alone could do so, and this explains why it wat tbo only one to come In close to the fort.. ... 8ome of the artillery on the fort has been destroyed by the German fire, but there are still five guns that can be fired. General Bello hat shewn great bravery and It In no way Intimidated. He will not abandon the fort,' but will resist as long at It It possible for blm to do so. He tweara that on January 17, the occaalon of the first bombardment. Panther fired upon him first, without reason and without pro vocation. The report that the biggest of the three attacking vessels was either Engllrfh or Italian is untrue. All three vessels were German. The Venezuelan gunboat Miranda It In Lake Maracalbo. It waa doubtless the In tention of Panther. In trying to paas the fort and get Into the lake, to capture this vessel. The passage over the bar that leads Into the lake It narrow and the fort com mands it. General Bello It confident that be can alnk Panther if it attempt to get bx with the fire ot the five guna that re main to him. Wedneaday night passed without Incident and the garrison of Fort San Carlos retted from the fight of the day and made prep arations for what the morrow might bring forth. A fisherman from the village of San Carlot has arrived with hi family. Two of his children were killed by shells from the German cruisers. He reports that more than twenty-five Indian fishermen have, been killed or wounded tt San Carlot. The fishermen there are helpless. Last night there was a popular demon stration on th street! of thlt town. Caracas la Sarprlsed. CARACAS. Jan. 22. The German bom bardment of Fort San Carloa ia incompre hensible here. Tbe shelling was begun without any warning whetever. The for eign residents of Caracaa are greatly dis satisfied with this action of the German washlps, especially aa the Vantsuelan gov ernment maintains a fair and generous at titude In the matter of claims. Senor Baralt, foreign minister, aald to day: What more can we do than accept the term of the powers and send Mr. Bowen with full power from Venezuela to ne gotlate at Washington. Have we refused to agree to tne tf-rinHT State Department I Reticent. WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. A cablegram has been received here from Mr. Russell, American charge tt Caracas, confirming the press report to the effect that three war ships began to bombard Fort San Carlos yesterday. Th cablegram doea not Indicate the re sult Ot the bombardment, and, in fact, con tains no other detail. There ia a aingular reticence on the part of tbe Stat department officials, suddenly developed, In connection with the Venezue lan situation and especially with reference to the German bombardment, which may ASTHMA Climate wear oat. smokes and spray do not cure, Tbey relieve aymptoin lusU-ad of removing cause : wberea. we lak Astuuia so thoroughly out of th )u-m that nothing remains . wblrhcau pro4uceanatlack;suf1vrrr ar suoo able to work, eat, ! p and stand exposure without the sllKMest return of Astbrrut, brlns right In principle our treatment does what ' rollers" cannot do.

T. be significant of the gravity with whlen tie view the situation. There la no longer any talk of exerting friendly Influences to prevent the bom bardments, but It Is difficult for the depart ment to answer congressional caller who are seeking for a reesonable explanation. An annoying feature of the situation It th probability that there may be t serious Interference with Minister Bowen'l mis sion. In which the Vnlted States, though not oQclally concerned, Is deeply Inter ested. There were msny rumort afloat to fh effect that the State department had taken steps to point out to th foreign offices at London, Berlin snd Rome Its view on this subject, but this could no.t be confirmed today. It was stated that at present th attitude of the Vnlted States must be on of pstlent waiting. Secretary Hay still remains at hit home nursing a cold. Such business aa Mr. Bowen has to do with blm Is transacted at his house. The minister was up at an early hour this morning tnd disappeared from his hotel, to It waa said, as rarda were refused save to th German' charge. Count Quadt. who returned unexpectedly from New York last night. He had been awaiting the arrival from Europe of hla family. So It Is a fair proposition that, his sud den return to Washington, without meet ing them, wat brought about by the un toward turn In Venezuelan affairs. Allied Diplomat Confer. Count Quadt also had a long conference at the British embassy with Sir Michael Herbert, and he also paid a call at the Italian embassy, where the ambassador, who Is suffering from a slight Indisposi tion, was unable to see him. It waa stated that nothing in the naturt of an answer to Minister Bowen's proposi tion for a removal of tbe blockade, as a condition precedent to negotiations, had been received from any of the European foreign offices, although it la admitted that there Is a free exchange of notes In prog ress between the embasslet and th Eu ropean capitals. Later Mr. Bowen appeared at the 61 ate department and had a short talk with Dr. Hill and with Third Assistant Secretary Pierce. He la making a number ot teml offlclal calls on the foreign embasslet and legations, other than tbo allies, and It It believed that thla it In pursuance ot hla general ejluty of adjusting any proper claims they nisy have against Venezuela. It la the underatandlng that none of the countries which refrained from Joining In the blockade will be permitted to suffer by Venezuela In consequence ot forbearance, but citizens who have suffered at a result ot a Venezuelan revolutionary movement will, when it comes to a aetMement of claims, be placed upon an equality with claimants from England, Germany and Italy. ROME, Jan. 22. The second bombard ment on San Carlot by the German war ships haa produced an unfavorable Impres sion here, as tbe necessity for a recourse to violence Is considered to have passed. Government officials are most cautloua In expressing opinions of the matter. In view of tbe peculiar situation of Italy, that coun try being allied with Germany Independ ently of the Venezuelan affair. Officials, however, say frankly that Italy will continue Its efforts toward concilia tion as It hat no resentment toward Vene zuela and Is seeking only to obtain the payment of Its .claims. Up to a late hour this evening the For eign office had received no representation from Washington regarding the bombard ment.
