CAN SPARE TWO VESSELS
Situation I'm Venezuela So Far as
Americans Are Concerned
seems TO Have Improved.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The State de-
partment is in receipt Of a cablegram from
Minister Bowen, at Caracas, saying that he
can spare two OF the war vessels now in
Venezuelan waters.
This information Is taken to mean that
the situation in Venezuela has improved SO
far that little danger now threatens Ameri-
can interests.
The fact that two Of the three American
warships now in Venezuelan waters can be
spared will permit the Navy department to
dispatch Marietta to Colon, to which place
1t was proceeding when. in response to
Minister Bowen's dispatch. it was diverted
to Venezuela.
The maintenance of an American war
ship on the gulf side Of the isthmus Is
necessary to insure railway transit across
the isthmus. Topeka will be ordered north
Immediately and 1t will be followed by the
gunboat Machias as soon as Commander
McCrea considers 1t safe for him to leave
Cape Haytien.
The latter ship has had long siege In
tropical waters, having been stationed at
Colon some time before 1t went to Hayti.
The departure of these two ships for home
will leave Cincinnati in Venezuelan waters
and Marietta on the coast of Panama to
look after American interests.

INDICATIONS OF A SURPLUS
Customs Receipts Making Up for Loss
by Repeal of the War
Taxes.
(From a Stan Correspondent.


WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-(Special Tele-
gram Observation-Disclosures the fears Of the
Treasury oficials that on account OF the
repeal Of the war taxes and the heavy ap-
propriations by congress, they might soon
be confronted with deficit. no such thing
is in sight now. Although the expendl-
lures so far this year have exceeded the
receipts by nearly SIC, 0,000. 900, the outlook
now is favorable that by the end OF the
fiscal year all this will have been regained.
The receipts from customs duties during
the six weeks OF the current fiscal year
have exceeded those of the corresponding
period OF the preceding year by several
million dollars. Last year they were S3S,-
600, 900, this year they are $S9. 900 600. This
increase is altogether unexpected. The
officials OF the treasury cannot account for
it, nor can they do more than guess how
long it will last. All calculations ap-
parently have been upset. The figures
showing a big deficit for the year have
been laid aside.
Those charged with the duty OF figuring
out how the balance sheet viii stand have
given up in despair. Customs receipts are
not the only thing that puzzle them. They
are not sure yet whether the $40, ,00O, 900
Panamerican canal money will have to be
spent, nor the money for the Danish West
Indies.
There is no oficial opinion whether
there will be a surplus or dencit next
June. The loss by repeal OF war taxes
will amount to 100000. II the customs
receipts continue at the present rate this
WIFI be recouped and instead OF a deficit
there may be another surplus.

well-known employe OF the Armour
Packing company spent yesterday In South
Omaha, having Just returned from the east
and he said to Bee reporter that the
combination OF the packers had been per-
fected and that the official announcement
would be made within the next few days.
The Cudahy company" said this on
cial, has decided to enter the combina-
tion and will meet the advances offered BY
the Armours and others. This will mean A
consolidation Of all OF the packing inter-
ests In South Omaha and a consequent re-
duction Of expenses in a number Of de-
partments."
Continuing, the representative OF Armour
said; "of course denials have been made
about the transfer OF the Cudahy property.
but 1t was done for the reason that the
negotiations were not fairly under way.
Now that the deal is practically consum-
mated, the official information will be
given out within the next few days"
When asked about the demand made by
the meat butchers for an increase in wages
this official said that the chances were
that no decision would be reached for a
few days, as the matter had been taken
under advisement
There is some speculation here as to the
result OF the combination in regard to the
market, as 1t was asserted last night by
those who were on the inside that with a
so-called trust the buyers for the packers
would set the market price before leaving
their offices in the morning and that this
might possibly work to the detriment of
the shippers
Indications point to the fact that It win
be several days before the big packing
combination will be formed, but there seems
- h.
houses of South Omaha will soon be under
one management.
