United States Minister Bowen at Ca.
racas has cabled the States Department,
asking that one or perhaps two more
warships be sent to reinforce the gun
boat Marietta at In Guayra in view of
the present critical situation which has
arisen at the Venezuelan capital.
Some time ago, when President Cas-
tro left his capital, Minister Bowen
expressed to the State Department his
fears that an occupation of the capital
By the revolutionary forces would result
in rioting and pillage and be attended
with great dangers to unprotected for
eigners. Such a situation, il is infer
red here, is again imminent
The nearest war vccsel to the scene
OF trouble is the gunboat Montgomery,
which left Hayti about the first of this
| month for Santa Marta near the mouth
of the Magdalena River, in Colombia,
to look into troubled situation. Owing
to the interruptions to cable communi-
cation the Navy Department has recei-
we'd no report from the Montgomery
since she left Hayti, and it is feared
that even If her services at Santa Marta
are not now needed she cannot be rea-
ched with despatch. The Panther is
still at Colon, and the Cincinnati has
just arrived in Porto Ricau waters.
There are several gunboats and cruis.
ers which are destined for the Carib-
bean squadron which are ready fer
active service, namely, the Newark,
Machias and Bancroft, and Boston; tie
Hist, at New London, and the Detroit
at Portmouth, N. II. From Minister
Bowen's advice it opears that vessel
is needed at the earliest possible NOM
ent, SO it is probable that either the
Panther or the Cincinnati will be order.
ed from her present station and sent
to the Venezuelan capital.
The following cable message received
at the State Department from Minister
Bowen, dated last night at Caracas
shows the critical conditionof affairs in
the field:
The army is still near Valencia, Nc
particulars obtainable. Valencia closely
surrounded and battle going on now.

In despatch from New-chwang

the Chinese officers are indignant at
the condition in which the Shanhaik-

been removed.
The rolling stock was left in extre-

ON ALASKA Gen. Greely Talks of the
 Future Outlook. Need of Legislation...BeIieyes in the Agricultural Possibilities
 of the District.

Washington, Aug. 23.-General A. w. Greedy, chief of the army signal corps, who has returned here from his trip to Alaska, was impressed by many things in that territory besides the work with whinh he is officially con- nected. In discussing his trip today General Greedy said in part:
 "I believe that the great need of Alaska is Legislation regarding l&nd timber and possibly1he fishing industry. Strange as it may seem, there is no way byswhich-evena discharged soldier can obtain title to a homestead in Alaska. It is true that the homestead laws of the United States apply to that ierritory, but inasnrch as such laws have no effect except on what are known as certified lands i! is practically of no effect, because there asc no certified lands Of any worth from d homestead point of view.
 "FSom reports from members of the signal corps, as we'll as from other re- 4iabla information gathered while on my trip,.I am impressed with the pellet that Alaska has d great agricultural future befpre her. In travelling West I passed through large areas in North ern Canada which were formerly con- sidered to be absolutel y-worthle $ lands, but which are now producing rerops tO the value of millions of dOllara annually, as welhas affording grazing lands for cattle by Aens of thousands.
 '"Eheresis now in view a.settlement of PFinns on kenai peninsula from which great agricultural developments are ex- pected. Ina ttis connection it may be mentioned that the summers are warm, 1 the land isfertile and the possibility of raising cereals is unoqualed anywhere. Vegetables of every variety grow in the Copper river valley, and grass is l.haray. 1 saw many saci es lin this sec. tiOn whore the grass stood from four to six feet an height. This .,s-llords mostrexcelsnt grazing, as we'll, as an opportunity for shay making for .Ahe wintering of stock.
 "There is,a strong feeling in the ter. ritory against the laws .Which tax all trades aud professions and turn this money iutQ. Q.tl4e treasury of the United States. Perhaps Alaska is.xhe only place in she United states where the national government req uires ,even a bootblaala.tqFsy q &ax.ior tho privilege of conducting his business.
 '''The mistake seems to be that Alaska has only asta agEsat mining camp in thu past. As 8 rule, however, I believe that Alaska is g country only for.rich men. While the gold deposits are exceedingly rich, they require i'm mense capital, to develop and work them. This woxkiag can be done only by most improved machinery. Ol course there are parts of Alaska which arc bafrsn and .uprofitable, but in thi.

Naldes, Alaska. Avg. 24, va H0nad- sry, Aug. 2:j. Robert Blci the expert sent into the Nazina liver district by Captain Delamar, has just reached Valdes and reports that Nazina district has the greatesbanines in Alaska and shat the copper property there is the greatest known in the wsrld. The richness of the country, Captain Blei says, insures the building of a railroad at the earliest possible season.
 The most important discoveries in Alaska have been made by A. W. Tib- bits in the finding of mountains of tin near Mount Wrangel, Ll0 miles distant, in which district he has located 4j claims.
 This is the greatest season of discoy- cries Alaska has eyer known.
