FRAZIER FILES HIS, ANSWER akes Some Peeuliar Allegations in Defense of Breach of Promise Suit, ‘Dr. J. W. Frazler of Honey Creek, Ia., against whom Miss Leona Mackison of Quiney, Ill, an evangelist of the United Brethren church, brought suit for $10,000 for alleged breach of promise to marry, answer and a motion to have the trial of the sujt continued until next term. In his answer Dr. Frazier asserts that, he and Miss Mackison discussed the evils of marriage without sincere love and af- fection between the parties and the mutual desire for its bonds, and that they both agreed that If at any time before merriage the affection of either of them was not wholly for the other, or if the desire of either had cooled or abated, the engage- ment was to be declared dissolved. Dr. Frasler further allégys in his answer that as a result of an accident Miss Mackison is unfit physically to ntarry and that he him- self is suffering from tuberculosis of the lungs, both ot which facts, he insists are well known to the plaintiff. The doctor also makes the allegation that Miss Mackison has on more than one occasion stated to other persons that she no longer loved him and would not marry him under any circumstances, but sl ‘want his money. Further, that she had also stated that she would have commenced the present sult long ago only she had waited until he had more property. As ground for ing the sult continued, Dr. Trasler asserts he has been unable to secure certain important witnesses and yesterday filed in the district court llllv that owing (o the death of his atiorney, | VAT the late Chancellor L. D. Ross, he had en- gaged the services of Congressman Walter L Smith; who would be unable to be pres- ent at this term of court. Ohristian leavor Rally. Rev. C. E.

WEDNESDAY'S BATTLE IS CONTINUED Twelve Veneruelans Killed on First Day, Fortifications Dam and « Dismounted in Spite of Bad Markemansh MARACAIBO, Jan. 23.—The bombard- ment of Fort San Carlos by the German crufsers Vineta, Panther and Falke was continued yesterday afternoon until & 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 § Pantber, being of light draught, closed in and again beeame actively engaged. The fort re- plied. At 8 the engagement wes progeec- ing as flercely as yesterday Twelve dead and fittecn badly wounded Venezuelans were counted in the fort at 7 Ilast night. The result of today's bom- bardment is not yet known Reports First Day's Flght. Panther left its position close to Fort San Carlos, which it took up earlier in the day, yesterday afternoon at 3, and Jolned Falke, halt a mile outside the har- bor and about five miles from the fort At 3 the corrbspendent of the Associated | Press, 1L a rowboat, approached one side | of the fort, out of range, and witnessed the long range fire of the German cruisers, which, 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 ofyshell 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 & gov- ernment telegrapher bearing a telegram trom 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 evidences of the flerce engagement. Twelve dead Venezuelan soldiers were counted behind the ramparts and fifteen other men, se- fousl: wounded, were lying on a low plat- torm. The fort was literally covered with pleces of broken shells, though many of the German shells had not exploded. The magazine had a narrow escape, two shells having come within an ace of pene- trating it. It is estimated by the commandant, Gen- eral Bello, that the German ships fired more than 1,600 shells. German Alm is Bad. Although the damage inflicted by the sustained fire of the German crulsers is great, it Is not all that woul be expected from euch a continuous fire from modern high power guns. The village of San Carlos suffered greutly. The aim of the German gunuers appeared to have been Inaccurate, for more 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 ana Vineta, s0 the fire from these vessels was not returned. Vineta and Falke draw too much water to cross the bar. Panther ! alone could do so, and this explains why it was. the only one to come in close to the fort, Some of the artillery on the fort h: been destroyed by the German fire, but there are still five guns that can be fired. General Bello has shpwn great bravery and 1s fn mo way intimidated. He will not abandon the fort, but will resist as long as It Is possible for him to do so. He that on January 17, the occasion 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 Engligh or Italian is untrue. All three vessels were | German. 1 The Venezuelan gunboat Miranda is in | Lake Maracaibo. It was doubtless the in- tentfon of Panther, in trylng to pass the fort and get into the lake, to capture this vessel. The passage over the bar that leads into the lake is narrow and the fort com- mands it. General Bello s confident that he can sink Panther if it attempts to get by, with the fire of the five guns that re- main to him. Wednesday night passed without incident and the garrison of Fort San Carlos rested from the fight of the day and made prep- arations for what the morrow might bring forth. A fisherman from the village of San Carlos has arrived with his family. Two of his children were killed by shells from the German cruisers. He reports that more than twenty-five Indlan fishermen have; been killed or wounded st San Carlos. The fishermen there are helpless. Last night there was a popular demon- stration on the streets of this town. Caracas is Sarprised. CARACAS, Jan. 22.—The German bom- bardment of Fort San Carlos is incompre- hensible here. The shelllng was begun without any warning whetever. The for- elgn residents of Caracas are greatly dis- satisfied with this action of the German waships, espec'ally as the Venezuelan gov- ernment maintains a fair and generous titude In the matter of claims Senor Baralt, forelgn minister, said to- day: What more can we do than accept the terms of the powers and send Mr. Bowen with full powers from Venezuela to neq gotlate at Wushington. Have we refused to agree to the term: tate Department WASHINGTON, Jan, 2 cablegram has been recelved bere from Mr. Russell, American charge at Caracas, confirming the press report to the effect that three war- ships began to bombard Fort San Carlos yesterday. The _ablegram does not indicate the re- sult of the bombardment, and, in fact, con- tains no other detail There is a singular reticence on the part of the State debartment ofcials, sugdenly developed, In connection with the Venezue- lan situation and especially with reference to the German bombardment, which may is Reticent. it be significant of the gravity with'which QM view the situation. | Thore Is o longer any talk of exerting triendly influences to prevent thess bom- bardments, but It is difficult for the depart- ment to answer congressional callers who are soeking for a reasonable explanation. An annoying feature of the situation ia the probability that thore may be a serfous interference with Minister Bowen's mis- sion, in which the United States, though not officially concerned, is deeply inter- ested There were many rumors afloat to fhe effect that the State department had taken steps to point out to the foreign offices at London, Berlin and Rome Its view on this subject, but this could nat be canfirmed It was stated that at present the of patient walting.’ Secretary Hay remalns at hie home nursing a cold. business as Mr. Bowen has to do with him is transacted at his house. The minister as ap at un early hour this morning and disappeared from his botel, so it was sald, as cards were refused save to the German’ charge, Count Quadt, who returned unexpectedly from New York last night. He had been awalting the arrival from Europe of his family. So it is a fair proposition that his sud- den return to Washington, without meet- ing them, was brought about by the un- toward turn in Venezuelan affairs. Allled Diplomats Confer. Count Quadt also had a long conference at the British embassy with Sir Michael Herbert, and he also pald a call at the Itallan emb where the ambassador, who 18 suffering from a slight indisposi- tion, was unable to see him. It was stated that nothing in the uature of an answer to Minister Bowen's proposi- tion for a removal of the blockade, as & condition precedent to negotiations, had been received from any of the European foreign offices, although it is admitted that there is a free exchange of notes in prog- ress between the embassies and the Bu- Topean capitals. Later Mr. Bowen appeared at the State department and had a short talk with Dr. Hill and with Third A nt Secretary Plerce. He s making a number of semi- official calls on the forelgn embassies and legations, other than tho allles, and it is believed that this is in pursuance of his generaleluty of adjusting any proper claims they may have against Venesuela. It is the understanding that none of the countries which refrained from jolning in the blockade will be permitted to suffer by Venezuela In consequence of forbearance, but citizens who have suffered as a result of a Venezuelan revolutionary movement will, when it comes to a settlement of clatms, be placed upon an equality with claimants from England, Germany and Italy. ROME, Jan. 22—The second bombard- ment on San Carlos by the German war- ships has produced an unfavorable impres- slon here, as the necessity for a recourse to violence is considered to have passed. Government officlals are most cautious in expressing opinions of the matter, In view of the peculiar situation of Ytaly, that coun- try being allled with Germany independ- ently of the Venezuelan affalf. Officials, however, say frankly that Italy will continue its efforts toward comollla- tion as it has no resentment toward Vene- zuela and s seeking only to cbtaln the payment of its claims. Up to a late hour this evening the For- elgn office had recelved no representations from Washington tegarding the bombard- ment.
