ORDERED TO La GUAYRA
GUNRoAT SCORPION WILL REPLACE
THE HARTFORD

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The navy de-
partment has ordered the Scorpion to
proceed at once to La Guayra, Venezuela,
to replace the Hartford at that port.
The dispatch of the gunboat is due to
the trouble growing out of asphalt con-
cessions and the purpose to afford all due
protection to American life and property
should either become endangered At
the same time the relief of the
Hartford will permit that ship to go to
Port of Spain in the near vicinity and
exchange crews with the cruiser Buffalo,
which arrived there today en- route to
Manila. No serious significance is at
tached by naval officials to the dispatch
of the Scorpion although it is admitted
that it is directly connected with the
troubles in Venezuela Although a COM
parative small boat the Scorpion has
demonstrated her effectiveness in action
During the Spanish war she engaged
three Spanish gunboats in the harbor of
Manzanfllo, driving them ashore and
blowing them up with her five-inch guns.
This performance together with her
speed has given her a record of marked
efficiency in the navy The trip from
San Juan where she is now, to La Quay
ra, will take about three days.

was beset today by newspaper men seek
ing to secure from him some expression
of opinion as to the recently published
article by former Secretary AlgeE rela tive
to the beef supply of the United States
army during the Spanish-American war.
To the few who saw the general. he had
nothing of substance to add to what he
had said last night upon this sub; ect.
He was still undecided as to whether he
should make any answer to the criticism
passed upon his course or whether he
should ignore what he denominated as
the false statements contained in the ar
ticle, on the ground that Atfae Amer can
public had already passed upon. the con-
troversy, which had no new features as
the result of this resurrection.
The general was in consultat ton during
the day with some Of his close adherents
and friends in the army and in civil life
and this fact, taken in connection with
the character of his utterances, led to the
belief that if he makes any answer at
all to the article, he will not do so
without a proper consideration of the
subject, so that no immediate out-giv.ng
is 10 be expected.
