German Commodore Is Empowered to Do as He Pleases. BERLIN, Jan. 19.—The Navy Depart- ment has not received any official adviges | regarding the bombardment of Fort Saa | Carlos, at the entrance to Lake Maracui- bo, by the German cruiser Panther on Saturday, and Is unable to either con- firm or deny the press dispatches. The ssuming that bombardment took place, that no orders were sent from Berlin. Whatever was done was the re- sult of the initiative of the commander on the spot, to whose discretion the con- | duct of the blockade was left. The Gov- ernment relies upon Commodore Scheder to observe all the formalities usual In ap- plying force and is confident that neither | he nor any subordinate commander did anything not strictly in accord with the usages of international law. — FORT SLIGHTLY DAMAGED. MARACAIBO, Venezuela, Jan. 19— There is no communication between Mar- acaibo and the fort of San Carlos, which was shelled on Saturday by the German crulser Panther and which returned the fire, with the result that the warship retreated in the direction of Curacmo. One hundred and twenty shots were fired from the fort during the engagement and the walls of the fort were slightly dam- aged. The Panther has resumed her po- sition at the entrance of Lake Maracaibo, where she maintains the blockade. The reports that the German gunboat at the time of the engagement was try- ing to force the entrance of the lake in order to capture the Venezuelan gunboat Miranda, which is in hiding there, are generally believed here. The Venezuelan Government has given out a statement to this effect. { this morning. | men | member of the board | year, C ADDICKS' FINAL PROPOSAL FAILS Delaware “Regulars” De- clare War to the End. Will Consider Plan to Di- vide Senatorships With Democrats. i i DOVE Del., Jan. 20.—The Union Re- publican caucus last night placed J. B ward Addicks in nomination for both the short and long terms in the United States Senate, both seats having vacant for some time. The caucus then #ppointed committee to consult with the ten regu lar Republicans who are opposed to Ad- dicks and endeavor to unite them in a general Republican conference to two nominations for the Senate, one to be made a Union Republi- can and the other a regular Republican. While the Union Republican caucus was at work in the State House nominating Addicks the Democrats were caucusing in | the State House parlor and the regular Repubiicans at the Hotel Richardson. It tock the Democratic caucus but twenty nidnutes to nominate State Chairman Wi lard Saulsbury for the short term at Washington and former United States Senator Richard E. Kenney for the long term. State Senator Harrington, the pr siding officer of the caucus, then d patched a committee of five Democratic Assemblymen to the regular Republic caucus, submitting directly to the ten regulars the proposition of the Democrats to help elect a regular Republican for the feur-year term in exchange for the heiy of the regulars to elect a Democrat for the two-year term. At 11:30 o'clock the regulars took a vote on the appointment of a committee to confer with a commit- tee of the Democrats. The vote stood to 2 in favor of the appointment of a com- mittee. At this point in the proceedings the Union Republican committee arrived and urged the regulars to unite with the Union Republicans in a general confer- ence as indicated heretofore Meanwhile the regulars decided by ac- ! clamation upon Colonel Henry A. Dupont and former United States Senator An- thony Higgins as their nominees for the long term and short term respectively Finally it was decided to appoint two con- ference committees, one to meet the Democrats and ask for further time to consider their proposition, and the other to Inform the Unio: tion would be refused as long as it in- cluded Addicks. The regular and Demo- cratic committees will meet at 10 o'clock This was decided upon after midnight. RAILROAD TRAINMEN REFUSE TO COMPROMISE Still Hold Out for the Twenty Per Cent Increase of Wages Demanded. ST. PAUL, Jan. 19.—Hope of adjusting the dispute over wages of railroad train- over for another week at least The cause of the delay s the slowness of the negotiations at St. Louis. The fact that the St. Paul committees have begun to disperse is significant of their determ- ination not to weaken. Thus far they have refused to compromise and have stuck to their 20 per cent demand. The negotiations with the telegraph operators are progressing somewhat slowly. The Northern Pacific operators held another conference with Superintendent Green to- is day. TOPEKA, Kans., Jan. 19.—The board of adjustment of the Santa Fe conductors is still in session here. A said to-night they and trainmen would not adjourn until some kind of a settlement of the wage controversy wa made with the Santa Fe.
