The latter 'was then a struggling young lawyer, recently out of college, but he managed to scrape together a couple of thousand dollar. This he brought to Michigan, where the show was stranded, and good weather having set in the enterprise yas soon making money again. Patterson Pat-terson stayed by his friends two weeks and at the close of the season they sold out at a hanasome profit. The bombardment of the Venezuelan fort of San Carlos by the three German Ger-man cruisers Vineta, Panther and Falke was resumed Jan. 22. The Panther's Pan-ther's bombardment of the fort the previous day had been ineffective, the Venezuelan gunners serving their pieces with more skill and driving the attacking gunboat away. .. Twelve dead and fifteen badly wounded Venezuelan soldiers were one of the results of the day's engagement. The Vineta and the Falke were close together during the attack, and nearer the fort than the Panther. The first two vessels at a range of four and a half miles poured In a continuous rain of shell upon the fort, and only stopped firing with the advent of dusk. At 6 o'clock the German vessels retired re-tired seaward, after having made a second Ineffectual attempt to land troops in the village of San Carlos, situated at the base of the fort.

The walls were terribly battered and there were many evidences of the fierce engagement. " It was seen that a great many of the German shells had not exploded. The walls of the fort which face toward the entrance of the lake suffered particularly and were greatly damaged. It is estimated by the commandant, Gen. Bello, that the German ships fired more than 1,600 shells at Fort San Carlos. In Berlin official circles it is believed that the bombardment of Fort San Carlos was by direct order of the kaiser, kais-er, who, as admiral-in-chlef, is directing direct-ing all German operations in Venezuelan Venezue-lan waters. The kaiser does not communicate com-municate orders to Commander Sche-der Sche-der through official media, but cables to him directly. |
