DUTCH CAPTUhd
ANOTHER BOAT
Second Venezuelao Guard
Vessel Taken.
Willemstad, Curacao, Dec. 16.—The
Dutch battleship* Jacob Van Keem
ekerk has arrived in the harbor tow
ing as a prize the Venezuelan coast
guard vessel "23 de Mayo." Word of
the capture had already been received
here and a great throng of people
lined the quays to witness the en
trance of the Dutch battleship con
ducting her capture within the har
bor. The flag of The Netherlands had
been hoisted to the peak of the cap
tured Venezuelan coast guard ship
and astern of the Dutch flag floated
the Venezuelan colors. Although the
Venezuelan flag was still shown it
was in minor contrast to the Dutch
pennant flying from main mast and
foremast both of the warship and its
prize.
The capture of the "23 de Mayo
was effected at a point a little north
of Cumana, on the Gulf of Caraico.
The battleship Jacob Van Heemskerk
observed the "23 de Mayo" in the off
ing, took possession of her and sent a
prlie crew aboard. The Venezuelan
crew which had been in charge of the
"23 de Mayo" was sent ashore in the
small boats of the captured ship. The
Jacob Van Heemskerk then proceeded
back to this port, escorting her prize.
The Dutch cruiser Gelderland has
left hero for the Venezuelan coast.
She had on board a seaman thor
oughly acquainted with the small bays
and inlets along the Venezuelan
shores. She is out after the Venezu
elan torpedo boat Margarita, a steel
vessel of ninety-seven tons and armed
with four three-pounders and two tor
pedo tubes. This vessel is supposed
to be at the island of Margarita.
The "23 de Mayo," while classed as
a coast guard vessel, is a unit of the
Venezuelan navy, but her size and
strength are insignificant. She is of
130 tons and is armed with one ma
chine gun.

FIRST CLASH
OVER RULES
Advocates of Revision De
feated on Test Vote.
INSURGENTS BOLT MflTY
Twenty Republicans, Including
a
Number of Northwestern Members,
Vote With Democrats to Overrule
Decision of Speaker—Payne and
Dalzell Lead Fight
for the
nents of Revision.
Oppo­
Washington, Dec. 16.—At the out
set of the proceedings in the house of
representatives the roll was called on
a motion by Mr. Gardner (Rep.,
Mass.) to discharge the committee on
foreign affairs from further consid
eration of the resolution calling on
the secretary of state for a statement
as to whether he has in his possession
information as to whether or not the
Britieh house of commons has ap
pointed a committee to report on the
advisability of changing its rules and
that the resolution be considered by
the house. Mr. Gardner is one of
several so called "Insurgents" who be
lieve that the rules of the house of
representatives should be changed.
The motion of Mr. Gardner pre
vailed, 146 to 1H4, and thereupon he
offered an amendment eliminating all
reference to the demand on the sec
retary of state for information and
leaving In the resolution simply the
provision for the appointment of eight
members to report on the question of
revising the rules.
Messrs. Payne (N. Y.) and Daizell
(Pa.) were quickly on their feet with
points of order, both insisting that as
a portion of the resolution would be
stricken out the resolution no longer
was privileged. Against that conten
tion Mr. Gardner vigorously arrayed
himself and he recited several prece
dents to support his argument.
Fitzgerald Add^ His Argument.
With equal vigor Mr. Fitzgerald
(Dem., N. Y.) upheld the contention
of Mr. Gardner.
In an elaborate opinion the speaker
sustained Messrs. Dalzell and Payne,
holding that the character of the res
olution had been changed In such a
way as to render It non-privileged.
Mr. Gardner promptly appealed, but
alert to the importance of the proposi
tion Mr. Payne moved to lay the ap
peal on the table and on that motion a
roll call was forced.
By a vote of yeas 149, nay* 1M, the
speaker was sustained.
Twenty Republicans voted against
the speaker as follows: Boyd (Neb.),
Campbell (Kan.), Caulfleld (Mo.),
Cooper (Wis.), Davis (Minn.), Ellis
(Mo.), Fowler (N. J.), Gardner
(Mass.), Gronna (N. D.), Rowland
(O.), Hubbard (W. Va.), Lindbergh
(Minn.), McKinlay (Cal.), Madison
(Kan.), Nye (Minn.), Pearre (Md.),
Pollard (Neb.), Steenerson (Minn.),
Sturgiss (W. Va.), Volstead (Minn.).
The resolution then, on motion of
Mr. Gardner, after he had further at
tacked the rules of the house, was
laid on the table, 137 to 2, which has
the effect of killing the whole propo
sition.
