VENEZUELAN SITUATION
VERY MUCH IMPROVED
No Longer Necessity for
Three American Warships.
Navy Department Will Withdraw Two
Vessels and Leave the Cincin-
natl to Protect Interests.

According to advices received at the
State Department from Minister Bowen
at Caracas. the situation in Venezuela
has very much improved A cablegram
received from Minister Bowen says that
there is no longer any necessity Ter the
presence of three United States war
ships, and that two can be withdrawn
without any difficulty.
In view of this information the Navy
Department will probably send the Mar
ietta TO Colon, to which place she was
going when diverted TO Venezuela. The
Topeka, which was last reported at
Porto Cabello. having returned there
from a trip TO Barcelona, will also be
withdrawn and ordered north

Machias Will Be Withdrawn.

The Machias will be withdrawn later
from Cape Haitien, leaving the Cincin-
natl in Venezuelan waters and the Mar

main on the coast of Panama for the
purpose of watching American interests
on the isthmus during the continuance
of the revolution there.
1t is not stated of what nature the
Improvement in Venezuela is, but it is
probable that the advent of the rainy
season makes operations in the field
impossible. and therefore times are less
troublous.

CAUSES OF TYPHOID
BEING INVESTIGATED
Health Department Employs
Special P ysician,
Dr.. Arthur Macnamee Will Make Spe-
cial Inquiry Into Disease to
Locate It's Source.

The municipal authorities have taken
action toward insiituting a special in
vcstigation into the causes CT typhoid
fever. Individual cases will be e.;-
amined and an effort made to trace the
source Of the infection. The Health De-
partment hopes through such investigS-
lion TO ascertain the origin of the dis
case and so be enabled to stamp out the
causes OF infection.
To this end the Health Office has re-
quested the Commissioners to employ
The services of DR.. Arthur II. Macnamee
as special sanitary inspector. to be
compensated at the rate of 50 per diem
payable from the emergency fund OF
the department. 1t is also recommen1ed
that the sum OF 500 be allotted for
transportation from place to place as
ihe exigencies of the investigation may
require.

The particular object of this ap-
pointment." says DR.. Woodward. lis to
enable the Health Department to de-
termine promptly and accurately the
sources of drinking water and of the
milk supply used by patients reported
as suffering from typhoid fever, so as to
aid this department in discovering, al
the earliest possible moment the oc-
currence of an undue number of typhoid
patients among the consumers of water
or OF milk from any one source. This
work has been done and is being done

to 30 il as an incident to his proper
work and without Increasing the charges

tenance Of that service.
LAS the work has increased, his la
b0rs have been supplemented bv those
of tie regular inspection force OF the
department so FAR as has been possible
without detriment to their regular du
ties. In view, however, of the very con-
siderable number of cases reported and
of their location throughout the entire
District. it is now impossible to secure
data from such cases with sufficient
promptness to enable the department II
:ake suitable action to protect the
health OF the community. In view OF
these facts it is submitted that the

be properly made as charges agains;

No Radical Change.

There was no radical change in the
condition of Major Armes last night.
The wound was giving him a little
trouble.
Practically the first statement OF
Johnson's side of the matter was made
late vest erday afternoon by Greed NJ.
Fulton. his attorney. Regarding the
statements of Major Armes concerning
the shooting and the utter lack of cause
for the affair Mr. Fulton said:
Il VIII not undertake TO deny Major
Armes' assertions. thereby entering into
a controversy. with him over the matter,
You may say that it is my opinion that
Johnson was justified in what he did.
and that the majors assertions are so
Incorporate and exaggerated as to need
no contra iiction."

BREACH OF PROMISE
Ohio Woman Sues Oklahoma Doctor

Amos, of GAINESVILLE, ohio. through her
attorneys, n. D. Henry and c. H. Eagin,
of this CITY, has fled a suit against DR..
]. II. Finny, of Mangum, for breach Of
promise. She alleges that he had failed
TO I'LL a contract to marry her, but on the
contrary, was about TO marry another,
which fact Miss Amos claims caused her
great distress of mind and also caused
her to lose other opportunities TO marry
and she estimates the damage 10 her
feelings, etc, at Slv,00O.
II seems the parties have never seen
each other but had been introduced by
letter by a mutual friend and struck up
a correspondence which was started last
summer and continued until March Of
This year. DR.. Finny said it was simply a
diversion for spare moments on his part,
but II seems that Miss Amos took it quite
seriously, and when the correspondence
ceased and she learned from other sources
that DR.. my was paying marked at
tention to another young lady, and was
reported to be about to marry her. Miss
Amos hastened to have her suit filed be-
fore the marriage took place. They are
