The report recommended that the De- Armond resolution lie upon the table and that the McCall resolution, -which called for 'the correspondence in the case, .be accepted.

BO WEN IS NANED AS INTERMEDIARY To Represent Venezuela if Ar bitration Plan Can Be Arranged. Caracas, Dec. 18. At one o'clock this afternoon the German -cruiser Falke, which was cruising outside the bar at the entrance to the harbor of Maracaibo, seized' the Venezuelan schooner Victoria bound for Maracai bo. The Germans compelled the schooner's crew to abandon the ves sel, after which they dismasted and abandoned her. The president of the state of Zulia in. which MaTacaibo is situated protested to the German con sulate of Maracaibo against the action of the warship. The foreign consuls, at La Guayra have advised the government that the commanders of the allied fleet have notified them that the ports LaGuayra, Puerto Cabello, Cora, Maracaibo, Bar celona and Carupano will be blockad ed from Saturday afternoon. This news has caused a bad effect here, one of the results is an announcement of an immediate advance in prices on all kinds of merchandise. BOW EN AS INTERMEDIARY . Caracas, Dec. 18. The Venezuelan government today conferred on Amer ican Minister Bowen full power to do do w-hat he can to secure arbitration of the Venezuelan difficulties and ap pointed him its representative on any board of arbitrators that may foe se lected. Replies to the proposition for warded by Venezuela, through Wstsli ington, to London and Berlin asking that the questions at issue be submit ted to arbitration are awaited with intense anxeity. FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS NOTI FIED. Washington, Dec. 18. Secretary Hay today received a cablegram from Min ister Bowen giving the text of a formal communication from President Castro and the Venezuelan foreign minister in which full powers to adjust the pend ing differences between Venezuela and the European allies was conferred on Bowen. After a long conference with the president on the subject Hay sent instructions to the American embassies at London, Berlin and Rome, to com municate to the British, German and Italian governments the fact of Bow en's designation as the Venezuelan representative and to request those governments to state whether he is ac ceptable in that capacity. Hay will probably also send similar instructions to the American diplomatic representa tives of other countries which may have claims against Venezuela. This indicates that the settlement in which Venezuela has interested Bowen will embrace all pending claims of for eign nations against the South Amer ican reDublic. According to the state lonartmoiiif Bowen's status is that of pdiarv and not a mediator or arbitrator. DEWEY'S ITINERARY. Washine-toh. Dec. 18.

Ports Will Begin Tomorrow irm Admiral Dewey, made public to- ! of the- vessels of his fleet during the I Christmas holidays, clearly shows that the plan provides for no undue con centration of ships along the Venezu- elan coast, and so prudently and ad visedly have its details been drawn up that Secretary Moody today cabled the admiral the deoartment's aD- proval of his orders. This will set at! rest the rumors that the United States ! contemplates complicating the Vene- , zuelan situation by dispatching the, large navai lorce to uauuayra as an offset to the allied fleet. Admiral Dewey's cablegram, dated San Juan, December 14, is to this ef- feet: Proposed itinerary of vessols for Christmas holidays: Kearsarge, Alabama, Massachusetts, Iowa and Scorpion to Trinidad; Illinois Indiana and Hist to St. Thomas; the Texas to Pointe-A-Petro: Chicaero.

In reply Secretary Moody sent the following cablegram: "Carry out proposed itinerary. Mer ry Christmas." GERMANY'S DEMANDS. Washington, Dec. 18. The state de partment has learned that, as report ed in the Berlin dispatches, a mere money payment will not meet Ger many's desires. Count Quadt, the German charge, had a long interview with Secretary Hay today touching Venezuela, and the fact- is now appar ent that while money will satisfy Great Britain and italy, Germany must have an apology. The difference between her case and that of the oth er powers is that the German legation, at Caracas was attacked, its windows broken, the minister's sick wife ter rorized and the German national hon or otherwise touched in a manner that cannot be healed by money. Touching the question of a guarantee of any obligations assumed by Castro as a result of Mr. Bowen's good offi ces, it is suggested that the United States being without power to assume directly any responsibility for the ex ecution of Castro's pledges, it is still possible for the state department to give assurances to any parties who might be induced to produce money to pay the judgments against Castro, that when the time comes for repayment, tne united states would exercise its good offices to see that the obligations were kept:. It is distinctively stated, however, that no pledges will be made on the part of the United States to forcibly collect any indebtedness of this kind. "DIPLOMATIC INSULTS." Berlin, Dec. 18. Aside from the fi nancial claims mentioned in her ulti matum, Germany expects some form of apology from Venezuela for the "di plomatic insults," -which the foreign of fice says are more serious and more gross than those of which Great Bri tain complains. The foreign office offi cials point out that Premier Balfour's remark yesterday evening in the house of commons about Germany having other financial claims must be under stood as applying to diplomatic repar ation for the insults and not to a mate rial indemnity, like money or territo rv. The foreign office is again calling at tention to the suspicions in the United States lest Germany effect a landing in Venezuela. It says a refutation of such suspicions ought to (be perceived in the slender forces at the disposal of Ger many. There are scarcely three hun dred men who could be spared from the squadron. FRANCE IS NOW IN. Washington, D. C, Dec. 18. The government of France has now enter- J ed the field as an active party in the trouble. Through its ambassadors and charges and ministers it served notice upon the governments of Great Britain, Germany and Italy, and by way of in formation has also told Secretary Hay that any provision made for the set tlement of the claims against Venezue la must recognize the pre-eminence of French cliaims. France received as surances from the other governments named that any arrangements made Choice Lofska On Charlotte Street For Sale Opposite the Manor and. Albemarle Park property.

MISS KATIE BRIG6S IN CUSTODY HERE -rU , cr L- Rum0rs That Everything w.ll Be "Fix e Up." xesterday Captain Jordan returned wnn miss Katie Briggs, the alleged mother of the infant abandoned here. She was arrested at Tryon Thursda nignt under the instructions of the Asheville officers. Upon the arresx of the two in Asheville the Tryon offi cials were immediately wired to and arrested Katie Briggs without much difficulty. Captain Jordan elated that she had made no statement to him, as he had forbiddenher. She was at once taken to the Pra ,,.00 city hall, where the oth In the afternoon the trio walked over to th nfTW of tVloir. attnr,0vC ith & Wells, where they remained in con- sultation throughout the afternoon. Neither the attorneys for the defense nor Messrs. Carter and Chedester, for the prosecution, would make any state ments forpublication. However, they were in very earnest consultation and the wires were kept hot for a while. It is known that they were trying to arrange a compromise and the terms were even rumored, with what au thority it is not known. It is said they agreed to pay allcosts and keep the child on condition that no charge is pushed. lhey were given permission to stay at the Windsor hotel last night, a pa trolman keeping guard. The Mis? tsnggs arrested nere Wednesday was dismissed, there being no charge against her. She has returned to Hendersonvllle. It will be remembered that the im mediate occasion of their arrest was some alleged shoplifting done in Red woods store. Mr. Luther says that the one released has no connestiori with that, and that many people mis judge her. A person at the stort said that Mrs. Henderson seemed much agitated when accused of steal ing. It is asserted by several people that Mrs. Henderson is entirely inno cent of the charge of larceny to the amount of $24.80. but th neonlP at Redwood's have their own rviews about it. Anyway, Captain Jordan gets the reward of $50, offered by Captain Pat ton. PRESIDENT DIAZ INJURED City of Mexico, Dec. 18.
