THE SITUATION IN VENEZUELA
Commander Mclean Has Sailed For Barcelona the Cincinnati to
Protect American interests
There

tent of the fighting at Barcelona and
of the report that the Americans, Ital-
ians and Dutch consulates had been
pillaged. The officials of the navy de-
pertinent are confident that Comman-
der Mclean, with the Cincinnati. will
be al bic to take care of American in
terests there. Owing to the general
disturbed condition of affairs all along
the line of the Venezuelan coast and
the appeals of Minister Bowen for
naval force in those waters is SUI
ficient to take care of the existing sit
uation and to meet future contingent
cies has been canvaSsed.
For the present it has been decided
that it is unnecessary to send an addi-
tional vessel. We now have three ships
az the three critical points. the Gin
cinnau at Barcelona, the Topeka at
Puerto Cabello, where the Germans
already have landed A force, and the
Marietta at the mouth of the Orinoco,
which was declared blockaded by the
Castro government
The question of affording an asylum
to President Castro 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 considered
by the state department. and it is not
believed that his condition at present
is desperate enough 20 make such a
move imperative. Besides, il is report
ed through the press dispa tches that
he mas a vessel at Laguayra upon
which he can embark for France if
the necessity should arise

day that Gonaives was in the hands of
the revolutionary forces under Cen
eral F'irmin. On Monday he abled
that the Vasquez government had no
tilted him that Gonaives, with three
other provinces, was in a rebellion.
Over night the navy department re-
eeived word that the Cincinnati had
sailed yesterday from Puerto Cabello
for Barcelona under the. instructions
cabled yesterday to Commander Me-
Lean, directing either the Cincinnati
or Topeka to proceed Immediately to
that point. Mclean who is the senior
officer present. evidently decided to go
himself and leave the Topeka TO pro-
tect American interests at Puerto
Cabello. 1t is probable that the Gin.

officially here for several DAYS as
Minister Bowen cabled the state de-

cable from Caracas TO Barcelona again

THE next convention Of the grand
lodge of EIks will be held in the
CITY of Baltimore. This place was
slated to receive the convention before
the grand lodge was in session, and it
won out easily. Everything was over
whelningiy in favor of Baltimore, and
as soon as Saratoga Springs people
realized that they stood no show, they
withdrew, making the selection of Bal
timore nnanimous In fact it was
foregone conclusion before the EIks ar
rived here that the fight on this mat
ter would terminate as it did
The selection of the place of conven-
ton was made the special order of
business before the convention at the
afternoon session, and as soon as the
lodge convened nominations for places
were opened. william j. OBrien of
Baltimore placed his home city in
nomination. and il was seconded by
James Gavin of Cincinnati. O.. con-
tlnued roar OF applause that rang
through the building indicated clearly
how the sentiment,Of the delegates was
in regard to the matter.
Past Grand Exalted Ruler Jerome K
Fisher then presented the claims of
Saratoga Springs. and made a strong
talk in favor OF this place. The Sara
tOga delegation and their hackers
raised q cheer and prepared for the
vote that was to come
Voted by Lodges.
The vote was taken by lodges When
the vote had proceeded to lodge No. So
IL was plain that Saratoga stood no
chance whatever. as the voting had
been four to one in favor of Baltimore.
Realizing this. Saratoga Springs with
drew from the race in favor of Balti-
more. and made the selection of that
place unanimous.
When Baltimore was announced as
the next convention place the Assem-
bly, hall rang with a round of cheers
such as has seldom been heard in that
historic building. Nearly everybody
seemed to be pleased with the selec-
ton, and especially the Baltimore peo-
pie. who came with the determination

The Baltimore delegates are more
than pleased over the selection Of their
city for the sBext meeting. and they
promise that the convention there next
year Will be a. memorable one in the
history Of the order. Everything pos
sible in the way Of accommodations
and entertainment was offered. Ever
since their arrival the delegates from
this place have been busy among the
delegates from other places. singing
the praises of Baltimore and its oys-
teTs
The Saratoga Springs delegation was
not idle any of the time. The delegates
offered all the inducements that Bal
timore could, but there were many Oh
iections urged against Saratoga one
OF the principal OF which was that il
was a summer resort and for that rea-
son would not be able to accommodate
and care for the delegations as Balti-
more or cities Of that class would The
advocates of this place made a brave
fight and only gave Up when they real
lied that further battling was hope
less.
Work of Committees.
After this matter was settled the
committee on appeals upon the laws
from the subordinate lodges took the
floor ana occupied it the greater por-
ton Of the afternoon. Considerable
matter along this hne. which is OF a
secret nature, came up and was thor
Oughly discussed Such action as was
deemed necessary was taken by the
grand lodge, and the matters were re
ferred back to the subordinate lodges.
The committee on rituals then made
its report, recommending the changing
Of some Of the forms that arc now IN
vogue in the order. These were lis
tened to and some OF them were sus-
tanned. while others were turned down.
Just what changes were made could
not be ascertained, as they pertaine5
