to have three ships on the way within
twenty four hours.
The Machias. which has been detained
at Hampton Roads by the threatening
weather south of Cape HatteFas, was able
to start on her journey today. assurances
having been given by the Weather Blu
reau that all dangers from the Gulf storm

Word was received at the Navy Depart
ment today that the batteship iowa had
arrived at San Francisco and she was
instructed by telegraph to proceed as soon
as possible to Panama on the west coast.
1t is probable she will have TO take some
coal aboard but the department believes
she will be able to sail on her 3 400 miles
journey by tomorrow The Ranger has
sailed fro mSan Diego southwark.

ton as regards other ships available on
the Atlantic side in ease future ever

eastern side of the Isthmus, and 1t has
been found that a ship could easily be
detached from the North Atlantic squad
ron at short notice.
There are indications that there will
be a considerable gathering of foreign
warships at the Isthmus and that the Am
erican ships will be brought into COM
pany with those of the British, German
and French navies. Already the, French
cruiser Suchet is at Colon According to
German reports, n German cruiser is
moving north from Brazil and the cruiser

A STATEMENT BY CASTRO.
Colombian Conservatives Assist the Revolu-

(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press.)
New York, August 1.-THE following
cable message has been received by the
Associated Press from Torres Cardenas
General Secretary of President Castro,
of Venezuela, in reply to a dispatch ad-
dressed to the President asking him for a
statement on the Venezuelan Colombia
situation:
Caracas, Venezuela, August lin the
name of His Excellency, Gen. Castro, |
reply to your cablegram in the following
terms
THE government of Venezuela, pre-
sided over by Gen. Castro, is fully justi-
fed in all its works and acts. 1t is es-
sentially liberal in its practices. 1t is of
the opinion that the Conservatives of
Colombia, probably led by ruinous and
wicked passions, have resolved to assist
in revolutionary movement against
Venezuela and her government.
"All of this has been actually proven
by the official publications issued by the
cabinet in Bogota. They date from the
first of April. This view has not been
denied, either by the Conservative gov
eminent of Colombia, or by her envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipotentiary

COULD THE BONDS BE SOLD!
An Irregularity in the Registration is Being
Alleged.

Even if bonds are voted by the city
can they be sold?" was the question
people were discussing on the streets
yesterday. Some thought they could,
some thought they couldn't and others
had no opinion on the subject.
The trouble seems to be an irregu-
larity in the registration, which was
conducted by one registrar instead of
four, as the law seems to provide In
the bond act passed by the last Leg
islature the following words occur:
THE clerk of said city shall elect and
appoint four registrars in and for each
of the wards or voting precincts afore-
, said, and the said registrars
shall, at the times and places deSig-
mated by the board of aldermen. open
! said registration books and take a new
and distinct registration of the quail
fled voters therein, as provided in cleo
lions for the aldermen of the city of
| Raleigh"
! Only in the matter of appointment was
this four registrar provision complied
with. When it came to registering the
! voters they divided up the time and pay
each serving five days and receiving
| therefor $21.
This irregularity if indeed it is one,
has been pointed to by some as invali-
dating the bonds. City Attorney Wat
| son, however, does not think it will
| have that effect He says he advised
against the one-registrar policy, but
/ that it is not a material matter and
cannot affect the validity of the bonds.

+, tai is most sensitive in it's investments,

curities, by reason of recent bond decis-
, ions in this State, and it is for this rea-
