begin to appear everywhere, and exqui-
site are the Holland prints. Huge
splashing flowers are combined with
natural looking foliage and down pill

used for furniture covering as we'll as

AMERICAN VESSELS ON SCENE.
Appearance Causes Comment~Admiral
 HiGgsnson Explains.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, Dec. 2t-The United States battleships Kearsarge and Alabama arrived here this after noon. Their appearance provoked con- siderable comment on shore but when Admiral Higginson called upon the act ing governor of Trinidad and the com mandant of the British ships he took occasion to explain that the visit to this port of the American men-of-war was part of the usual winter trip of the squadron. As the American vessels en- tered the harbor the Charlotte saluted Admiral Higginson's flag, courtesy which was alsoextended by the British ships The salutes were returned. The Kearsarge and Alabama are anchored outside the British warships, which are guarding four Venezuelan vessels, none of which fly either the British or Vene- zuelan flags. The Restaurador, which was captured from Venezuela by the Germans, flies the German flag and is used by them for despatch messages.
 General Ferreras, who represents the Venezuelan revolutiOnists at Ciudad Bolivar, has collected $350,000 in duties since the Venezuelan blockade of the Orinoco was raised Of this sum $75, ,000 has been used to repay money borrowed from merchants. General Ferreras has sent a large order for munitions of war to Port of Spain.
