BLOCKADE TO CONTINUE. Many Non-Combatants Killed and Wounded by the Bursting of Missiles from the Great Guns-of the Hostile Fleet. BERLIN, Jan. 2.—The first-official re- port of the bombardment of Fort San Carlos arrived in the shape of de- spatch from the commander of . the Watke, dated Willemstad, Istand of Curacoa, Jan, 22, saying he had re- celved inférmation from Maracaibo that Fort San Carlos had been shelled and set on fire by the Vineta and Panther, and had ultimately been destroyed. Tho Lokalanzeiger says it as re- eclved information to the effect that Commodore Scheer reports that Fort San Carlos fired on the Panther first, ag the’ cruleer was feeling her way into the inner harbor channel, The British and German Govern- ments, it was added, were acting in perfect harmony and quite agreed that the blockade could not be raised until & satisfactory guarantee had been of- fered by President Castro. When Min- ister Bowen went to Washington it was thought he was the bearer of such a guarantee, but, the German Embassy officials asserted, it has turned out that he only had President Castro's promise to pay/ which had previously proved Unsatisfactory. If Mr. Bowen could securé some other guarantee the blockade would be raised. But negotiations to this end are not likely to advance until the arrival of Baron Speck von Sternburg, the Ger- man Charge d’Affaires, in Washington. BURSTING SHELLS KILL MANY NON-COMBATANTS CARACAS, Venezuela, Jan. 23.—Gen. Bello, the gallant commander of Fort San Carlos, has wired President Castro that he can sink the Panther if the German gunboat attempts to force the Pawwage into Maracaibo harbor under the guns of his fort. After a continuous bombardment of two days under the heavy modern guns of the three German warships the little garrison of Fort San Carlos is still Mester of the situation. Wwice the German war vessels tried to land troops at San Carlos village, but the fire from the fort compelled them to retire, Fifteen have been killed and twelve eeriously wounded inside the fort and the damage to the fortress is extensive, but noting to what would be expected from the contimual rain of shells from the high power armasnent of the Ger- man, ships, The German gunners, es- pecially those on the Vineta and Falke, which are without the bar, have shown execrable marksmanship. President Castor has notified Gen. Bello that he docs not wish him to sacrifice his men needlessly. Beilo has replied that he has no in- tention of evacuating and that even it the Yort is reduced to ruins he can use his guns and keep the Panther from en- tering the port, “What do they think of this in Wash- fngtont’ asked President Castro when he reotived the correspondents. “Will they not see that the Germans Wo not want peace, but are forcing a war? “For the sake of obtaining a settle- ment I yielded to the allied powers and @onsented to hard conditions. The Ger- mans reply by fring upon a Veneguelan fort every day, and yet Mr, Bowen, as the Commissioner of Venezuela, is in Washington with full power and every opportunity to satisfy the exaggerated demands. Preaident Castro concluded his re- Marks by saying, “But it i# war now.” The village of San Carlos has been German gunboats. ‘Twenty-five of the inhabitante have been’ killed, and those | who, have not tied for safety are home- less. Gen. Bello computes that the Ger- man ships fired 1,600 shells in the eecona day's bombardment. oo ‘WOMEN STARVED BY THE BLOCKADE.
