BATTLEsHIPs TO JOIN SQUADRON.
The Texas Has Another Slight Accident as
She Gets Under Way-Will Sail To-day.
IBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUS


Norfolk. Va, Dec. 10.-Two powerful additions to
the fighting strength of the squadrons under the
command Of Admiral Dewey in Caribbean waters
will sail from these waters tomorrow. They are
the battleshp Texas and the protected cruiser To-
peka. Both go to Culebra direct to join the fleet
This addition of armed vessels to the already great
feet under the Admiral OF the Navy has caused a
utter in naval circles here in view of the develop
ments of the last few days with regard to the
Venezuelan situation.
Neither Of the ships will proceed to Venezuela
direct. On board the Texas the officers state that
their orders simply TO join the squadron, and
they describe their destination going south.
Rear Admiral Cotton, commandant OF the naval
station, that the ships will go to Culebra in
the result of the present strained relations between
the powers concerned In the Venezuelan contro-
yersy is freely discussed among the officers. and
the fact that the Texas sails with only one of her
gun motor cylinders, both of which wrecked
in the recent Inspection trial off the Capes, the
other following may be, lends color to
the belief that the presence of the greatest possible
naval force in the Caribbean is absolutely neces-
sary at this time
Shortly after throwing off her lines it was dis
covered that the engine indicator of the Texas
would not work. The ship Immediately dropped
anchor and in doing so she carried away boat
stanchion Later the Texas came up to her former
berth. and repairs were at once begun the
gine room indicator. The trouble is slight that
it is expected TO get the ship off early Tomorrow.

TO BLOCKADE THE COAST
NaUd Plans Of Great Britain ana
Germanu for Venezueta.

| 1,a-,;-, rec 1o-The naval plans of Gerr1la ny
and Great Britain provide for the patroiiihs Oh
tbe Venezuelan coast by launches in order to
r.ven. sroupeIine. and for the blockade of those
Venezuelan ports where the customs houses nave
| not been taken over, in order to prevent vessels
avoiding the ports occupied by the aiiles. Natu-

would require a number OF vessels and, as
Great Britain has more ships available in the
West Indies than Germany a larger portion Of
the work will fall on Great Britain unless Ger
many sends out additional cruisers, according to
her first intention
Official suggestions supplied to the German
newspapers and TO the English correspondents
here lay stress on the fact that the United States
has undertaken to safeguard automatically the
German and British residents in Venezuela until
the dispute is settled. Consequently. any affront
offered to the resident Germans and British,
such as an arbitrary arrest, would be an al
front to the United States, and would cause
that power TO protest. 1t is this consideration
which makes the German Foreign Office doubt
the reported arrests at Caracas
The Foreign Ofhce tonight is still without
date than Monday night. though the newspapers
have received kilograms dated Tuesday. This,
It is explained, is because the correspondents
are using the overland telegraph lines north
ward, while Charge d'Anaires Won Pilgrinl-Bal-
tazzi and Commodore Scheder, commanding the
German squadron in West Indian waters must
send their dispatches to the nearest cable sta
ton.
The German Governments reply TO President
Castro's complaint, that the ultimatums were
delivered irregularly on holiday at the private
residence Of the Venezuelan Foreign Minister, is
that President Castro informed that the
ultimatuTns might be expected. and Germany
and Great Britain, being unwilling to delay ac
ton any longer. had them presented on Sunday
at the Foreign Minister'S private house.
Office was closed on that day
The Foreign Office here up TO noon had not re-
ceived anything from La Guayra since Monday
evening. when Charge d'Affaires Won Pilgrim
Baltazzi cabled that he had gone on board the
Vineta. The officials here say that possibly
few Germans and Englishmen have been ar
rested under some pretext by. President Castro,
but the Foreign Office authorities consider 1t
extremely doubtful that he-woud permit the
arrest of all the Germans and British at Caracas

Both Germany and Great Britain. it was said,

A GREAT HIT.

Mother seigePs Curative Syrup has made a great hit, It is said to he the most successful remedy for stomach troubles ever introduced. It immedi- ately relieves all pain and distress after eating, builds up the feeble system and makes the weak strong.
 The fact is, foods properly 'digested are better than so-caIled tonics. Food that. is not digested does more harm than good. People who use Mother Sci gels Curative Syrup insure the diges- tion of what food they eat and in this way get the benefit of it and grow strong. Sold by druggists.
 Read home testimonial:
 Having suffered many years from indigestion and stomach trouble, was induced thirteen years ago to take Mother Seigers Curative Syrup and was so much benefited that I have never been without it in my family since. My sister used it in England for ten years before that time" J. H.. G. Durant. New Haven, Conn.,, April IS, 1902.

 Two new sound passenger steamers are to be built for the Consolidated road for the Fall River line. It is under stood that the plans are being prepared under the direction of Supervisor Pierce of the repair shops at Newport. Both are to be of the most advanced type one passenger steamer like the Pris- cil1a and the other a freight steamer. The accidents to the company's boats this season and the consequent difficult ties in maintaining proper service on each line, it is said, have given the off, cials convincing proof that more boats must be provided.
