 The political situation in venezuela to unchanged. The success of tho revoIuS ton depends entirely upon the results Of the landing of the adherents of General Maotos.
 It is reported here that British war vessels have received instructions to CT Libertador 0ormerly the Ban Rish) if they meet her flying the British flag and bearing her original name.
 A steamer, said to be the Libertador. was seen cruising off this island last Thursday. She is said to have succeeded in landing arms and ammunition all along the coast of Venezuela It is further re- ported that numbers of guerilla bands were moving in the Venezuela State of Falcon and Lara, going towards desig~ mated points of concentration and avoid- ing the Government troops. Some Britt ish war vessels are expected at La Guy~. ara tomorrow or the day afterward.
 President Castro's warships, the Res taurador. Miranda and General Crespo. which were sent in pursuit of the Liber- tador, have been unable to overhaul her.
 If the Government succeeds in obtain- ing the possession of the arms and ann muniion landed by the Libertad0r, the insurrection will be crushed. for, during the past fortnight, the Government of President Castro has become stronger than ever.

Trans-Pacific Cable.
The Matter is Discussed before the
 Houce Committee.

~NeN~@~~-
 Washington, Jan. 1.-The effect of wireless telegraphy on the future of the submarine cable was depleted to some extent today by the House Committee on Commerce in connection with the hear ing of the proposed Pacific Cable.
 President Ward of the Pacitic Cable Company continuing his statement Of yesterday, said he believed the company he represented would be able to make exclusive traffic arrangements from points beyond the Philippines and com meeting with China and Japan. He also stated that there would be some ques- tions as to the right of the United States to land cable on foreign shores.
 Chairman Hepburn asked series of questions as to the effect of wireless telegraphy on the submarine cable. Mir. Ward replied that the new system pre- scented a serious question. He was nos certain that the Pacific cable project would have been undertaken if the long distance experiments had occurred earlier. As to the claims that wireless signals had been conveyed two thousand miles across the Atlantic. Mir. Ward said that If the claims were made good they would deter people from laying any
 When asked about the effect thus far on the cable business, Mir. Ward said that it had depressed cable interests.
 Mir. Stewart wanted to know if the "cable companies had not chased Mar conf out of Canada?' to which Mir. Ward answered that he believed the cable corn- panies had insisted upon certain exclu- sive rights they held.
 President Scrymser of the South and Central American cable system made an extended argument favorable to gov ernment control of the Pacific cable The Spanish Minister of Marine cabled Admiral Cervera to leave Santiago and if this dispatch had not been intercepted. Mir. Scrymser said, the battle of Santia- go bay would never have been fought and the conduct of the war might have been changed.
 Thomas E. Hughes, representing an American company which produces cable, asked that American labor and capital have the advantage of doing tho work.
 Chairman Hepburn asked Mir. Hughes that a formal proposition he submitted First, for delivering a cable of Ameri- can make at San Francisco: second. for making and laying the cable to Hawai-. Guam and Manila. As indicating the general character of the forthcoming proposition MT. Hughes said the cost would be within 10 per cent of that stated as the cost of the Commercial Pacific Company's cable.
 H0 d00ALlOAAeAA AV PVT IChts AAC St4bSNks was for the protection of American in- dustry.
 In the course of a statement by Wl1- liam Gollom of New York, a director of the Pacific commercial cable company said that the company after laying the cable across the Pacific stood ready to sell it at any time to the United States Government at an appraised valuation.
 J. W. Henry. civil engineer for an American company making cable, said the company would furnish the goveFH- ment a cable at .O00 a mile. which to Hawaii would be about s2200,000 or cou- siderably below the cost of foreign made cable.
 Government officials will he heard on the government project next Friday.

 A meeting was held today attended by Buchanan of the United States, Pardo of Mexico, Altzamora of Peru and Der mejo of Argentine at which it was ex- pected that the question will be finally settled.

Ex-BoSS MAKES A SPEECH
Principles, Not Patron age,
 Should Be the Keynote.
He Asks Tammany to Assist and Support the New Leader-Be- lieves Organization will Win
 Back Independents.

New York Jan. n.-Richard Croker an-
 nounced his retirement from the formal
 leadership of Tammany Hall this after
 noon at the meeting of the Executive
 Committee at which the plan of organi-
 zation for the year 1902 was agreed upon.
 Lewis Nixon was chosen as MT. Crok-
 CTS successor as the chairman of the
 Finance Committed. This position car-
 ried with it the leadership of the organi-
 zation.
 In announcing the name of Mfr Nixon
 for the chairmanship of the Finance
 Committee, George NJ. Van Hosen. Presi-
 dent of the General Committee, said that
 the step was taken at the desire of MT.
 Croker himself. Mir. Croker. however,
 did not express himself until all the
 business before the meeting had been
 transacted, when he arose and addressed
 the chair His tone was conversational.
 but there was something like tremor in
 his voice and he walked back and forth across the room. In beginning, he said that the appoint ment of MT. Nixon to the chairmanship of the Finance Committee had his full approval. and he hoped that MT. Nixon would receive the same consideration and good will which had been extended to himself He added: 'tI know the young man well and be- lieve that he will restore confidence in | the organization and bring back to Its support the army of Democrats that we | lost at the last election. I am centinu- ally receiving letters from young men l anxious to join this organization, and I hope that means will be found to bring | more young men. in. The people who left | uss for reasons of their own can never 1 build an organization up against yours upon patronage received from the Re- | publican party. think it Is your duty
 to strergthen yourselves and to stane, on principles. not on patranage
 ''I have been in the organization thir- ty-five years. and during that period it l has boiled 6 larger vote proportionately | in years when it had no patronage. You need never fear the efforts of men who | leave us because they wish to get posi- tions. It is neglect of yourselves and distrust of your leaders which will hurt you. If you conduct this organization | honestly and comply with the laws you cannot be beaten at any time. "In conclusion, I want to ask you again | to have the same confidence In MT. Nixon | that you have had in me, and have no doubt of your success"
 MT. Nixon, the new leader. arose as
 soon as Mir. Croker had sat down, and very briefly thanked the committee for | the honor done him. He said
 Tt was with a sincere regret that I l learned that MT. 'Crol1er had determined | to retire. I will not accept an executive position and be mere figurehead. promise to apply every effort and my utmost strength to build up this organi- l zation"
 | vote of thanks to- MT. Croker for his service to the organization was voted by the committee. Mir. Nixon announced l that he would retain Thomas F. Smith,
 Mir Croker's secretary for d number of | years, as his secretary.
