ADMIRAL DEWEY'S FLEET
Disposition Of II Left to the Secretary
~ the Navy

Disposition OF II Left to the Secretary
Of the Navy
A disposition of Admiral Dewey's
fleet during the holidays Is to be made
under the direction Of the secretary
OF the navy, in view Of the increasing
complications arising In connection
with Venezuela. and the wishes OF his
government not to arouse suspicion
unnecessarily by dispatching n large
naval force to Venezuela waters.
Admiral Dewey cabled the depart
ment yesterday In regard to the orders
for his feet during the Christmas holt
days.
Orders are now In preparation for
the various vessels and will be for-
wardcd to the admiral In the next day
or two.
No reflection upon Admiral Dewey
Is intended by the navy department I'm
deciding to give up the orders for his
ships, instead Of giving him d free
hand in the matter. as II was expect

with the state department In the

however, 1t seemed that the question
could be more satisfactorily settled
here. as the navy department Ia In
possession of all the facts regarding
the action OF the allied powers. and
danger of conflicting with the policy OF
the state department will be averted.

Castro to maintain his defiant attitude.
On the other hand, the situation has

In ports within easy range of the Vene-

NO BLOCKADE GOES
United States Refuses to Recog-
'.nize Any Such
HAY TELLS GERMANY OF IT


II A Washington. Dec. IS, dispatch
says: 1t is now probable that the Unit
ed States will break its attitude of in
activity in the event that an attempt
is made to enforce the peaceful block
ade" toward IN American ship. When
the allies were considering the ways
and means of bringing Venezuela to
terms and a blockade of this character
had been decided upon, the German
government informed the United States
that when the blockade was estab-
lished it would turn back all shipping.
although no effort would be made to
seize the ships.
The United States government made
no response to this statement at the
time (last year, not feeling called upon
to do so before presentation of an ac-
tual case. But now that the blockade
is sought to be established. Secretary
Hay has Informed the German govern
ment that American ships should not
be interfered with in their trading.
Further. the note intimates a disap-
prevail of stoppage at all. In so doing
the state department Is following a pre-
cedent, for during the effort of the
powers to estate a peaceful blockade"
OF Crete in 1898, Secretary Sherman
formally recorded a refusal to be bound
by IL. II happened that no American
ship had occasion to enter q Cretan
port during the brief period of time
the blockade was in force, so the issue
was not made. but in the present case
with regular lines of American steam
ers entering Venezuelan ports. at short
intervals. a test case may oon follow.
1t Is within the legal right of the allies
to close these ports, but probably this
can be accomplished without a protest
on our part only after a formal declara-
ton of war. The hope Is growing here
that such a declaration can be averted,
owing to the energy with which Mr..
Bowen has acted.
The proposal of President Castro TO
the allied powers for a peaceful settle
ment was suggested by Mr.. Bowen and
II came to the state department through
his hands. 1t has been forwarded to
London and Berlin through the en-
bassieS here, and as both Great Britain
and Germany have heretofore professed
a desire to settle the issues ~peaceably.
II Is hoped that they will avail of his
opportunity. The proposal did not
mention the method Of arbitration nor
the limitations and the point Of doubt
which may prevent the acceptance OF
the scheme Is believed to be Castro's
u~nwillingness to bind himself in ad-
vance to the recognition of the princi-
pie of liability, so he would leave the
arbitrators to determine whether or
o he Is liable at all.

Countries May Combine

A Puerto Cabello, Dec. 10, dispatch
says. The British cruiser Charybis
and the German cruiser Vineta have
bombarded the fortress here. They
quickly silenced it.
The Charybis and the Vineta ar
rived here Saturday morning. The
captain of the English merchant
steamer Topaz. which was seized by
the mob last Wednesday, visited the
English commodore on board the
Charybis and returned an hour later
with a detachment of fifty marines and
with their aid took possession OF the
Topaz.
The %populace were greatly excited at
this incident and raised the cry, TIC
arms" but no incident occurred.
The English commodore then sent a
demand to the authorities for imme-
date satisfaction for having pulled
down the British flag from the Topaz
and advised the government that II
satisfaction was not forthcoming in
two hours the fortress and the custom
house would be bombarded.
1t is learned on authority that the
government of Argentina, in a dispatch
from Buenos Ayres, has instructed It's
consular representative at Caracas TO
report to Buenos Ayres as early as pos
sible what appears to be the attitude
of the United States and what view
that government is likely TO TAX OF its
obligations under the Monroe doctrine.
in the face of the aggressive attitude OF
Great Britain and Germany.
Should the United States decide to
remain impassive, on the ground that
it's Interpretation Of the Monroe doc
trine does O warrant interference
with foreign powers resorting to dras-
tic measures for the collection OF
claims, the correspondent says he Is
informed that the government OF Ar
gentina. feeling that he autonomy |
all South American state Is Jeopar-
died. Is preparing to a X a decided
stand by the side of Venezuela and to
offer her assistance to President cas-
tro.
Argentina is not anxious to declare
her attitude and will only do so, II
Is said, in the event that the United
States should maintain a complaisant
attitude of non-interference.
II Is believed Chile also entertains
similar intention and many cable mes
sages have been exchanged between
oficial representatives OF the Venezu-
elan government and those OF Chile
in Valparaiso, as well as with Buenos
Ayres.

FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Ottumwa, Ia, VIII own watcrworks
lndnr a New Soho me


An Ottumwa. Ia. Dec. 10, dispatch
says: Every taxpayer in Ottumwa Is
to be made a stakeholder in n water
works company if the plans nov pro-
posed in this city are carried out. 1t is
said to be the second time in the his
tory Of the United States that such
a scheme has ever been suggested.
Ottumwa is beyond her debt limita-
ton and the city desires to build a
plant that will give adequate protec-
ton. A test case was made IN the SUI
prcme court as to whether or not a levy
for a water works plant could be in
cluded in the constitutional debt limi-
tation. the plea being made ttat ii was
an urgent public necessity. The courts
held that such a levy was not a part
of the states debt.
Thus the city found itself checkmat-
ed. but now determines to organize the
whole municipality of 10000 people into
a gigantic corporation making every
taxpayer a stakeholder.
