MONITOR NEVADA FAST.

ROCKPORT, Mass, Dec. H-On her Of
fetal trial over the Cape Ann course to-day
the United States monitor Nevada made an
average speed of 1926 knots, exceeding by
a considerable margin the contract require
ment of 11.5 knots.
The Nevada had a smooth sea and west
erly breeze to-day, combination which
could not have been better, in the opinion
of representatives of the Bath iron works,
the builders. The course for the trial was
a total length of 26.4 nautical miles, divided
into four legs of Go knots each. the start
being at point northeast of eastern point
light on Cape Ann, and the outward mark
off Newburyport, 1872 knots away. AT no
time was the Nevada under forced draught
The fastest legs were over the same water
the first and fourth, the former being COW
cred in 20 minutes or, equal to 1876 knots,
and the latter in 2S minutes 81 seconds or
1879 knots. The second and third legs were
made at a speed of 11.93 and 12.37 knots
respectively.
When the Nevada arrived off Gloucester
on her return the members of the trial
board embarked on a tug and proceeded to
Boston, and the monitor later proceeded to
Bath.
The Nevada was built at the Bath iron
works at a cost of a little less than 81, ,000,-

Venezuelan embroglio has passed. IL is still
full of possibilities. Even If the European

to be arbiter. for President Castro has
