SAN FRANCISCO, Dec.

18. A great deal has been made in Pacific Coast coal properties. The recently incorporated Western Fuel Company, composed almost entirely of strong local Investors, has purchased outright all the real 'and personal property of the New Vancouver Coal Mining and Land Company, Limited, situated at and near the city of Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island; also the coal bunkers, barge 8 and equipment of John Bosen-f eld's Sons; the stock and business of J. C. Wilson and the stock and business In San Francisco and Oakland of the Howard Company.

AH these interests are actively engaged In the coal trade. All the coal business of Oakland and In the interior of the State of the above named firms will be handled in Oakland. It Is a big thing for this city. The coal lands and properties acquired by purchase from the New Vancouver Coal Mining and Land Company are very valuable. The lid amounts to 35,000 acres, nearly all of It being coal bearing.

The property is equipped with the most complete facilities for the mining, preparation and shipment of coal. The output during the last year exceeded 500,000 tons. The quality of the coal Is equal to, if not better, than any coal Imported to San Francisco from the north. It has been known in this market as South-field Wellington. The tact is emphasized by those who are prominently connected with the Western Fuel Company that there is not in any sense a combination of in terests, but an actual purchase of property.

The new company has availed itself of the experience of those formerly Interested by retaining their services in the management of the new enterprise. The capital stock of the Western Fuel Company is $1,500,000 which is to be divided into 150,000 shares of J100 each The officers of tho comnanv are- John L.

Judge Torrance denied, the motion and the defense asked leave to file an amended answer, omitting the allegations of misjoinder; The plaintiff's attorneys went into conference and at its conclusion, former Judge lIcKinley stated that he would not oppose the amend-, ed answer in this latter form, as it would permit the introduction of evidence cov- (ering the entire scope of the universal brotherhood institution at Point Loma. The complaint presented to the jury recited the alleged libelous publication In the Los Angeles Times of October 28, 1901, consisting of art interview with Mrs. M.

Levitt, who claimed to make disclosures relative to the institution. The plaintiff then denied that women inmates of. the institution were abused to the poHnt of death; kept at hard labor; that Tingley was an impostor; that insane ceremonies take place; that inmates are kept in guarded cells; that children are kept on the verge of starvation; that It -was a practice for inmates to go insufficiently clad and "in their night robes to place known as sacred ground;" that Immoral and improper practices exist, and that the institution is a fake. For the publication of allegations plain? tiff demands damages of $50,000. The answer of the defendant made general, denials of malice or hate; stated that Mrs.

Levitt had asked to be interviewed; that she was correctly quoted tary heels, worth $3.00, at.

WILLIAM BUNKER SENDS A VERY NON-COMMITTAL TELE GRAM. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec.

18. Secretary Scott of the Chamber; of Commerce received a telegram today from William Bunker, announcing that Secretary 'Root will not" act reflnitely in the transport matter until next week. The telegram gives no encouragement one way or the other and leaves the question at a standstill until the War Secretary gives his final decision. The message to Mr. Scott reads as- follows: "Saw Root today.

Transport matter so complex that it will take several days to reach conclusion. Root says he will announce definite result in about one week. "(Signed.) WILLIAM MARRIOTT DID NOT APPEAR. SAN FRANCISCO, December 18. The case of the people vs.

T. H. Williams and Truxton Beale, was called in Judge Cook's Court today, and, as in many pre vious attempts to, bring the case to trial. the District Attorney asked for a post ponement. This was done at the request of Fred Marriott, the complaining wit ness, who produced the certificates of three physicians, alleging the unfit condition of Marriott to appear in court.

When Detective Gibson called upon Marriott yesterday he found that gentleman apparently enjoying the best of health, but waa informed that Marriott dtd not want the case to come to trial today and lne compiainani wouia produce cer- urates from his physicians to prove his IM A 1M skTT A nhirol nIA a I UiU air-tn him walk nir On th trw.t Th nB-1" kk r. uim naming 111c tic Ltatement of Glhgon cau8ed 80mewhat of a sensation and the certifying physicians have been summoned to appear in court hub rpittui in utm.i lueir LiaKent ja uimuic iu iiian.e ciii au- pearance In the case at this stage, Marriott, who conducts the "News Let ter," was assaulted and shot one night several months ago for publishing an ar tiele reflecting on tne cnaracter or a young society woman of this city.

McKln-ley indicated that the plaintiff might introduce a great deal of evidence to es- tablish the proper status of the Point Loma institution and In addition to making the usual proof at character and damage, might seek to rebut such evidence as the defense should introduce to establish the Levitt interview. The plaintiff began its introduction of evidence with the presentation of other ar- tides published in the Los Angeles Times. These were relative to various attempts made by G.

THE UNITED STATES WILL STAND 'SPONSOR FOR VENEZUELA'S DEBTS. i WASHINGTON. Dec 18r Whether the consent of allies- to a settlement can be obtained will, it is said, depend entirely upon the sufficiency of any guarantee that can be given for the faithful discharge by President) Castro of any obligations he may assume as the result of Mr. Bowen's efforts. The allies feel that they must be insured against the consequences of any revolution and the repudiation by the President who may follow.

Castro. The efforts to induce the United fatates government to act as guarantor, lb-is to say, will not succeed, and ltis beginning to appear that there is likely to be a mixed commission appointed to receive all Venezuelan customs and setting apart a certain portion or the maintenance of the Venezuelan government, disburse the remainder among the powers until their obligations shall be met. The government of France has now entered the field as an active party in the trouble. The French government has served notice upon the govern ments of Great Britain. Oermanv and Italy, and by Way of information has also told Secretary Hay that any pro vision maae ror me settlement of the claims against Venezuela must recognize the pre-eminence of the French claim.

France has received asnrnnrs from the other governments named that any arrangements would nmvMa for the security of the French Inter ests in tne Venezuelan customs. it .4 TESTIMONY TAKEN BY COAL COMMISSION.

WASHINGTON, December 18. The State Department has learned that, as reported in the Berlin dispatches, a mere money payment will not met Germany' desire. Count Quadt, the German charge, had a long interview with Secretary Hay today touching Venezuela and the fact is now apparent that while money will satisfy Great Britain and Italy, Germany must have an apology. The difference between her case and that of the other powers Is that the German legation at Caracas was' attacked, its windows being broken, the minister's wife terrorized and the German national honor otherwise touched in a manner that cannot bp healed by money. Touching the question of a guarantee of.

any obligations assumed by President Castro- as a result of Mr. Bowen's good offices, it is. suggested that the United tates being 'without power in the absence of legation, to assume directly any re sponsibility for the execution or Castro pledges, it Is still possible for the State Department to give assurances to any parties who might be induced to produce the money to pay the Judgments against Castro, that when the1 time shall come for exerefse 15" to thl obligations were kept.
