Situation Critical.
The situation in Caracas continues
to be critical and there is intense ex-
citement among the German residents
of the city. Today the Germans sought
refuge at the American legation, where

intention to abandon the city. The
note from the commanders of the al

Bowen, concerning Venezuelan vessels
leaving La Guayra, is supposed to her
aid the blockade.
The government at Caracas is sur
prised that the government at Wash
ingtOn remains silent in spite of the
recent action of the allied fleet
The fact that the people of Venezuela
are in absolute ignorance of the designs
of the allies upon their country ere
ates a deep and disturbing impression
here The chief officer of President
Castro's guard said today to the rep
resentative of the Associated Press:
IF there is to be war. let us know
and we will fight If there is to be
only an assault on our coast. where
we cannot reach the allies, the only
thing left for US TO do is to declare
that to destroy your debtors furniture
IS a strange way to force the payment
of his obligations. / believe this sit

WORK OF LAYING CABLE.

The Gable Ship Silverton Now Reel
ing OF the First Section.
The world has waited long and i'm
patiently for a Pacific cable, and now
il is getting one. At this moment, a
cable ship employed by an American
concern, backed by American capital,
and impelled by American energy and
enterprise is actually laying the first
link, between San Francisco and Homo
lulu, at the rate Of 100 miles a day, and
will complete the job within a month
Thence the line will be continued with
all possible expedition in not exceeding
two years time to Manila via Midway
island and Guam
This event is progressing without any
beating of tomtons, without the slight
est ostentation, in fact, silently; and
yet, inasmuch as Il IS bound TO intro
duce a new era in trans-Pacific COM
munication, it is an event of great mo-
nent. calculated to fire ones inagina-
ton and kindle ones enthusiasm.
Since the year 1S66-that is. for thirty
six years passive have had uninter-
rupted cable communication across the
Atlantic ocean, but never yet have we
had a cable across the Pacific. Pro
jects innumerable have been formed
and exploited to supply the lack, but
none of them until now has eTentuated
into a fact.
There is already a cable from Ma
Mia to Hongkong, the one that Dewey
judiciOusly cut in May. 1888. and from
Hongkong there branches out a net
work of coast and insular cables reach
ing the various ports Of China, For
mosa and Japan on the Asiatic side;
so that the Pacific cable, when COM
pIeted to Manila. will give US direct
access westward to China and Japan,
as we'll as to the Philippines and Ha-
wall
