VENEZUELAN SITUATION.
Surprise at the Comments Of German n
Newspapers.

Newspapers.
There was an entire absence of develop
ments on the Colombian-Venezuelan situa-
tion at the Navy and State Departments
today. Some surprise and amusement has
been caused by the comments of the Ger
man press to the effect that the United
States had Interior motives in taking pre-
cautionary measures relative to affairs on
the isthmus. Such expressions show an
entire lack of knowledge Of the plain pur-
poses of this government to take no hand
in the southern troubles except for the pro-
lection of American interests or in execu-
tion of the requirements of our treaty with
Colombia. However, these comments re-
ceive no serious attention from those in
authority. as they are expressive of indi-
vldual opinion. 1t is noticeable, however,
that the South American countries most
concerned have no such concern as to
American purposes as those expressed in
some of the European newspapers.
The Navy Department this morning an
nounced that the battle ship Iowa, which
has been undergoing repairs to her boilers
at San Francisco, will leave that port
some time today on her trip southwark to
Panama.

THE SOUTH CHICAGO MILLS.
Much Depends in the Steel Strike on
Their Course.

CHICAGO. August 20.-'South Chicago
and the great steel works located there
have become the vital center of the steel
strike now hanging over the country" says
the Tribune This was shown in two new
ways yesterday.
I'm the first place. Organizer and Vice
President Davis, who failed nine days ago
to influence the steel workers there to
strike. sent urgent telegram to Presi..
dent Shaffer of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton appealing to him to come here and use
his powers to force a reconsidera ton and
strike. In the second place, the four lodges
of the Amalgama ted Associa ton in Joliet
VINO voted last week to strike, seem now to
be wavering on the verge of a return to
work. Their action, they freely avow,
Is now to let their policy hang on the de-
cision of the South Chicago steel workers.
If the latter decide to strike the Joliet men
will remain out; if the South Chicago
brethren remain at work the Joliet workers
will resume their tasks
The appeal to Shaffer was sent in the
afternoon by Vice President Davis, who
mad received no answer last night

some excitement. and large crowds gath
cred on the streets and near the steel
mills. There were large crowds around
the newly crippled tube works in this city
today but no disorder.
Wellsville reports indicate critical sit
uation, but the cry of the wolf has been
raised so often as to disorder there during
this strike that this. latest announcement
attracted little attention.
The organized strikers at McKeesport
plan a general strike headquarters, one
feature of which will be a press bureau.
The leaders say the latter will give out
strictly truthful strike reports and stop
the exaggerated tales which, they say, are
injuring the town and Mayor Black.
The local strike leaders express them
selves as being fully satisfied with the
progress of the strike and confident of
victory.

NEWPORT, r. l., August 20-The card

Though clouds still obscured the sky in

and the prospects were that they would be
in good enough condition to play at IL, the
