GERMANY WANTS SHIPS
IN CARIBBEAN WATERS

NEW YORK, March TT am inform
ed from a trustworthy source says the
Berlin correspondent of The Herald. that
the ultimate object of Prince Henry
visit to Washington is to bring about an
agreement by which Germany will be per-
mitted to maintain a large fleet in sCarib-
bean waters, to serve for the protection
of German settlers and property rights
imperilled by the frequent revolutions IN
the South American republics. ~
I'm official correspondence the fleet OF
German war ships assembled at La Quay
ra is styled as that of the American sta
ton. Captain Stiege, of the Vineta, has
Just received the title of commodore, and
will be commander of the South American
feet henceforth flying his own ensign.
Although the fleet was sent to Venez-
uela only for the enforcement OF rights
guaranteed to German capital and citi-
zens, II already consists of five vessels
and 1t is intended to steadily increase this
number.
"A difficult issue is the acquisition of
a repair dock and coaling station.
1.-The hope is entertained here that no
objection will be made to the maintenance
Of the feet in the West hides, because 1t
is intended to be entirely for defensive
purposes and not to acquire territory.
Protection is desired especially because
the Berlin government now undertakes
the task of directing the German migra-
ton movement to South America. Here
tofore the work had been performed by
the Hanseatic League, and the colonial
societies.
1.-The bureau is at the home office, Of
which Count Buelow is eX-ofhcio presiding
officer. 1t is mainly intended to induce
German emigrants to settle in German
colonies, or. If they cannot be induced to
go there, to settle in South America.

WATSON WILL MANAGE
DISPENSARY TANK

ROME, Ca. March S.-The dispensary
commissioners at noon today elected A.
p. Watson manager, after a sharp contest.
The Journal predicted Mr.. Watson's cleo
ton yesterday. The office of manager is
the best paying office and the most i'm
portant connected with the dispensary. It
win pay about 1850 year. The appoint
ment will give eminent satisfaction. Mr..
Watson Is a most competent man. W. j..
Neel, W. ]. Grifin and Frank Freeman
compose the board OF commissioners. The
board will select a building for the dis
pensary and attend to other matters this
afternoon
Judge Henry yesterday afternoon at 6
o'clock overruled the petition Of three
taxpayers TO injoin the three dispensary
commissioners from proceeding with the
establishing the dispensary in Rome for
Floyd county. Judge Henry granted per-
petual injunction preventing the city and
county from any liability connected with
the dispensary in the way Of debts.
The commissioners can now proceed to
establish the dispensary and carry the
act into effect. The dispensary people
claim that the injunction preventing the
city from becoming liable for any debts
connected with the institution is a COM
plete victory for them. that the supreme
court will not entertain the petition Of the
tax payers. for the reason that they will
have no cause 70 complain, as they can
not be taxed for the maintenance Of the
dsspenSAry. and therefore viii not suffer
any damage whatever.
This is the second time Judge Henry
has disallowed a petition for an inJunc-
ton against the dispensary for Floyd
county. A bill of exceptions viii be ia
ken out and the case carried to the SUI
preme court. Mr.. NJ. G. Mcdonald and
Mr.. George Trammell asked for the in
junction in this case. and in the other
matters Mr.. ]. b. Chamlee and Mr.. NJ. G.
Kay were the petitioners in a former
case. They as liquor men asked for the
injunction based upon constitutional
grounds and also that their business and
vested rights were jeopardized.
The court house was crowded and the
interest was very intense during the argu-
ment which lasted several hours. Judge
Branham was leading council for the in
junction proceedings. while Colonel Feath-
erston and Judge George Harris represen-
ted the dispensary.
