German war vessels, it is stated. are already on the scene of the contemplated action and Great Britain by tocorrow should have a squadron there capable ot coping with any re- distance that Venezuela might offer.

 If Washington refuses 10 suggest to the Eur can powers that Venezuela be allowed time. it is probable that the financial house HOW interested will drop the plan altogether. In the latter al ternative the Venezuelan delega ticn here is likely to submit the suggested stlemCnt to the British governments with an application for time to admit of their entering into negotiations with ether financial interests.

Coffee serves some people in a most atrocious manner.
 'I was a veritable coffee fiend, until finally my stomach rebelled at the treatment and failed to work" writes a gentleman from New YorR
 T had dyspepsia in it's worst form blind, staggering headacnes With yer tigo about a half hour after each time ate. and I finally grew SO weak ana became so thin that my mother advised me to stop coffee and try Postum Food Coffee.
 l did not like it at first, but after ex- perimenting in making it, Mother soon got it just right. and I then liked it better than coffee.
 l soon noticed my biliousness stopped and I lost the trembling effect on my nerves; Postum did not stimulate me but seemed to exhilarate. I gradually regained my wonted good health; my old appetite returned, and today I am well-dyspepsia heaGache and vertigc all gone. and Postum did it. When I began it's use, I had been troubled for two years with all kinds of stomach trouble. l became a verit- able walking apothecary shop, but have not taken a dose of medicine since I commenced using Postum."

 The unparalleled volume of gold cer- tificates outstanding is the result of the freedom with which they can be issued in consequence of the natural flow Of gold from many sources into the treas ury. They are issued against deposits of coin and are paid out for gold bullion and the obligations of the government. On June 27 they for the first time ex- ceeded in volume the United States notes. The increase in the fiscal year was $57 7,594,000. which was followed by another of $16,6S9,O ,OOO in the next three months, bringing the total up to S363,- S11. .oS9.
 The treasury derives gold from sev- eral sources. Substantially. the whole receipts from customs are in gold or the representative certificates. The total acquired through the custoni houses during the year is placed at over $2l5,o00, GOO Deposits of gold amount ing to $22, ,021. 800 were made in New York for the transfer of currency to other points. These deposits began early and were larger than in any recent years except 1900. and for the first time the treasury was able to re ceivc sold and supply the kinds ani amounts of paper currency desired which were usually United States notes and-silver certificates of small denomi- nations.

As a result of the explosion twelve men are missing. A score were more or less seriously injured ana property to the value of $200,00 was destroyed.
 Four of the missing men were shipped only this morning.
 The disaster occurred at 9:25 o'clock while forty mechanics of the iron works and twenty employees of the ship were on board. Below decks the me chanics were busy completing the work of changing the vessel from a coal burning coal carrier to an oil-burning oil carrier, when suddenly one of the oil tanks blew up. The men were hurled against the steel walls and al sheet of flame came sweeping into their faces. On the upper deck men were hurled into the air or thrown into the water Three sailors who were engage in washing paint outside the pilot house disappeared as the cloud of black smoke | came up from the ship and were seen TO more.

In the office of the iron works, twenty feet away. every window was shattered and flying glass cut the faces and hands of many of the officials and clerks. As they rushed out i into the open, survivors who were able to help themselves were Ieaping from |; the ship. A great crowd of mechanics [ came running out of the works. A { soon as the panic had subsided thesz men were set to work with d will tc ! rescue the men from the burning yes | eel. A stream of burning oil, running ! from the tanks. spread out until the | ship lay on waves of fire. The flames ! crept under the wharf, and soon the 1 timbers were blazing, adding 70 tn, l difficulty of the work of rescue. ! As the ship was built of steel, the 1 fire on the ship was nearly all below decks. There were fourteen oil tanks 1 containing about 400 barrels of oil II | all, and despite the efforts of the fire depar tment this continued to burr ! fercely for hours after the explosion. 1 Numerous minor explosions due to the fire going from tank to tank occurred at short intervals but all the injury and loss of life was due to the first one
 One peculiarity of the explosion wa, that several men who were just on tht other side of the bulkhead from wher, it occurred were not injured, whil' others much farther away were badlJ 1 hurt. Several men in the yards wer. ! injured by flying debris
 i The loss to the Fulton company by the wrecking of the building and burn | ing of the wharf will exceed S2O,OOO. T is estimated that the Progress wa, worth about S175COO.
