New York, Aug. 13.-The appraiser
1t this port has sold for the govern
neft, in the last three weeks, 100000
boxes Of lemons because the impor'

Most of the lemons imported here

They used to come in sailing ves'
sells, but now they come in steamers,
which bring much larger corgoes,

THE CINCINNATI SAILED.
Commander M'Lean Goes to BARGE
Iona With His Vessel to Pro-
tect American Interests.
CABLE FROM THERE IS INTERRUPTED.
Neither the State or Savy DEPART
ment Has Received Confirmation
of the Press Dispatches Telling
of the PillaRing of the American,
Italian and Dutch COnsulntes.

Washington, Aug. l4.-Overnight
the navy department received word
that the Cincinnati had sailed, Tues
day, from Puerto Cabello. for BARGE
Iona under the instructions cabled to
Commander Mclean directing either
the Cincinnati or Topeka to proceed
immediately to that point. Comman-
der Mclean, who is the senior officer
present, evidently decided to go him
self and leave the Topeka to protect
American interests at Puerto Cabello.
1t is probable that the Cincinnati al
ready has arrived at Barcelona, but
that fact may not be known officially
here for several days, as Minister
Bowen cabled the state department
from Caracas, Wednesday, that the
cable from Caracas to Barcelona
again had been cut by the revolution
lists. On Monday he reported that
this cable had been cut, but pre-
sumably it had been repaired in the
interim, and his last dispatch indi-
Gates that the connection again has
been lost.
The Van Buren press. [volume] (Van Buren, Ark.) 1859-1914, 1902-08-16

For the present 1T has been decided
that It Is unnecessary to send an ad-
ditional vessel. We now have three
ships at the three critical points, the
Cincinnati at Barcelona, the Topeka
ut Puerto Cabello, where the Ger
mans already have landed force, and
the Marietta at the mouth Of the ORR
noco, which was declared blockaded
by the Castro government.
The question ofaifording an asylum
TO President Sastro aboard an Amer
lean warship in case he should be
obliged to flee from the country, and
should have no other means of es-
cape, has not been seriously consid-
cred by the state department, and 1t
Is not believed that his condition at
present is desperate enough to make
such move imperative, Besides, 1t
Is reported through the press dis
patches, that he has u vessel at La
Guaira upon which he can embark
for France II the necessity should
arise.

Press News UncOnfirmed.

Neither the state nor the navy de-
partment has received confirmation
of the press dispatches from Port of
Spain, which were conveyed there
from Barcelona by boat, of the extent
of the fighting at Barcelona, and OF
the report that American, Italian
and Duach consulates had been pill
Jagged. The officials of the navy de-
partment are confident that Com
mander, Mclean, with the Cincinnati,
will be able to take care of Ameri-
can interests there. Owing TO the
general disturbed condition of affairs
all along the line of the Venezuela
coast, and the appeals of Minister
Bowen for warships, the question
whether our naval force in those wa
ters is sufficient to take care Of the
existing situation and to meet future
contingencies has been canvassed.
