PLANS FOR THE FLEET

A DESIRE TO AVERT UNEASlNESS.
while Warships Won't De Sent to La
Gunyra, 1t Is Deemed Not Unw'ise to
Rendezvous within Easy Range
of Venezuelan Coast.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Disposition
of the men of war OF Admlfal
Dewey's fleet during the holidays is
to he 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 this government not
to arouse suspicion unnecessarily by
dispatching large naval force to
Venezuelan waters. Admiral Dewey
cabled the department Monday in re-
gard to the orders for his fleet dur
ing the Christmas holidays, though
Secretary Moody did not announce
the receipt of the dispatch until
Tuesday. Orders are now in prepa-
ration for the various vessels, and
will be forwarded to the admiral III
the next day or two.
No reflection upon Admiral Dewey
is intended by the navy department
in deciding to give up the orders for
his ships instead of giving him free
hand in the matter, as it was expected
would be done. That there may be
thorough cooperation of the navy
with the state department in the
handling of the Venezuelan situation
however. it seemed that the question

such that senators felt that tie Mon;
roe doctrine at any time might become
involved if the complication should
continue. Senator Cullom replied to
the inquiry that he had no knowledge
of recent events not contained in the
house prints. Messrs. Bacon, Hoar,
Lodge and Stewart all made remarks.
In none of the addresses was anything
harsh or critical said. The tone of all
the speeches, whether by republicans
or democrats. was that our position
as a nation should be one of watchful-
ness. There was general agreement
that while the means adopted by Great
Britain and Germany for the collection
of their debts had been quite strenuous
they thus far had committed no in
fringement of the Monroe doctrine
and therefore had done nothing to
which the United States could take ex-

Lapeer, Mich, Dec. 17.-John Best,
aged %, single, man of disordered
mind, during the night arose from his
bed and ran amuck through the house,
cutting Jasper Clegg's head nearly
off with a razor, dangerously wound
ed his own mother, wounded his sis
ter and finished by shooting himself
to death. Clegg, who was 90 years
of age, boarded at the Best home.
Best was committed to the insane asy-
lum about year ago, but six months
later was discharged as cured.

his bed and gone first to the sleeping
room of Clegg. He attacked Clegg
with razor, probably before the old

slashed SO deeply that the head was
nearly severed from the body. The
blade of the razor was broken by
striking a bone. The murderer Their
evidently returned to his own room
and to bed. The bedding in his room
is covered with blood. AT later hour
he again arose and went to the room
of his mother. He struck Mrs. Best
a blow with the damaged razor, but
she was scarcely awake. The blow fell
short, though her chin was nearly cut
off. She sprang out of bed, grappled
with the crazy man and made her way
to the door. Here she broke away
from him and ran to a neighbours

Washington, Dec. 7.-While the
final arrangements for the obsequies

after the arrival here of Gen. Grant
and other members of the family next
Thursday, it is settled that there will
be short religious services in this city

The Pennsylvania Railroad company

1 Long Cabinet Session.
! Washington, Dec. II. = President
Roosevelt and his cabinet had one of
the most extended and important
meetings Tuesday that has been held
this fall. Foreign affairs particularly
consumed the entire time of the ses-
sion. The Venezuelan situation was
discussed in all its phases, but no con-
clusion was reached different from
that which actuated the president and
his advisers throughout the considera-
zion of the troubles between Venezue-
L. on the one side and Germany and
England OF the other.
From an authoritative source the in
formation is obtained that there will
be no recession on the part of this gov
eminent with respect to questions
involving Venezuela or any other of
the governments of South or Central
America as laid down by the president
in his messages to congress. Every de-
tail of the development of the Venezue-
Ian situation is being scrutinized witt
the utmost care.
1t can be said anthoritatively that no
apprehension exists in the minds of
any of the administration officials that
serious trouble growing out of 1T will
accrue to this country. 1t is believed
that both Great Britain and Germany
Will act within the arrangement which
originally was presented to this gov
eminent and to which the United States
passively assented.
