 Washington, March 12.-Political matters in South Ameria have assumed a serious condition and the navy will probably order Admiral Meade's squad ron to Colon. A telegram from Admiral Meade this morning reported that to- morrow he would send the Minneapolis to Laguayara, thus breaking the itin- erary.
 While it is not admitted at the navy department it is understood that the Venezuelan situation is responsible for the change. Admiral Meade is reported to have been informed, probably from Washington that France threatens to take action with reference to the ex- pulsion of the French and Belgian ministers from Venezuela and that Ger many has ordered two warships to Laguayara to enforce the payment of a German loan and his dispatch of the Minneapolis is natural conse- quence. The admiral's fleet was last heard from at Trinidad, West Indies, a few days ago.

ship. But I was not and he had no right to stop me. We were at a speed of 13 knots and we kept it up. All though he fired up he could mot make more than about 11h knots. I suppose he wanted to show the authority and prestige of a warship, but l have no time to waste on gunboats. Besides any one with half the eye of a seaman could see that this was an ordinary passenger steamer, just going about her business. He set no signals till we were so far away we could not read them. It may be that the ship was a new one on that station.'

ANoTHER TRUST FORMED.
This Time All the Glass Companies Enter n
 Combine.

Combine.
 Chicago, March 12.-What is believed to be the evolution of the Plttsburg Plate Glass company into trust con- trolling all of the plate glass companies in the country began to-day in the pur- chase of the properties of the Diamond Plate Glass company the great western rival of the eastern concerns. The fig ures in the transaction have not been given out, but it states that the invest ment represents $3,OOO 0O0 The com pany has some valuable gas holdings in the Indiana fields and operates a fac tory at Kohomo and another at Elwood, Ind, employing at present 1,6O0 peo- pie
 For several years the plate glass in terests had a strong combination on prices and kept prices up to profitable margins. A year ago all the factories were stocked up with glass and the dull times brought about big slump in the trade. In an effort to rearrange prices the combination fell to pieces and ever since then a sharp competition has marked it's trade
 The Pittsburg Plate Glass company represents the largest capital in the old combine and is endeavoring to secure control of trade by direct purchases of all the plants.

FIRED UPON THE ALLIANCE.
AN ALLEGE ED OUTRAGE COMMITTED
 BYA SPANISH MAN-OB- VAR.

The Spanish CoIors Were Saluted by the
 American, but Not Being Satisfied the
 Warship Fired a Blank Cartridge and
 Later Sent a Solid Shot at the Vessel
 Staten ent of the Alliance's Commander
 New York, March 12.-The Tiring of the Spanish man. p-of-war at the steamer Alliance is likely to lead to serious complications. The owners of the line are very indignant at the insult, and say they will demand a reasonI for the attempt to stop an American mail steamship on the high seas in time of peace. The following letter has been sent to Secretary Greham:
 The American mall teamer Alliance under my command, while on her home ward voyage from Colon to New York was on the morning of March 8, off the east end of Cuba. At6:3O bar kentine-rigged steamship was sighted under the land bearing directly for us. At 7:15 she set her colors, proving to be a Spanish gunboat. I immediately ordered the American ensign hoisted on the Alliance and saluted the Span iard, which salute was duly returned by her. then saluted once more and supposed the matter was at an end
 But about five minutes later the Spaniard fired a blank cartridge and a few moments later another one, fol- lowed shortly afterwards by three solid shots, all of which fell short of the Alliance, but showing exclusively that the Spaniard was firing at us.
 I, being fully six miles off-shore, and on the high seas, paid no further at tention to the Spaniard, but kept to my course. The Spaniard kept up the chase, although gradually dropping astern, fully twenty-five miles.
 I desire to know if the Spaniard had any right to fire on my ship, with the probable chance of endangering the lives of the passengers and crew under my charge or compel me to heave-to as he probably intended
 l respectfully ask for information on that subject, as I did not and do not propose to heave-to, thereby losing time on my voyage, to oblige Spanish gun boats or any others except in cases of distress.
