ITALIANS ARE PLEASED.
Glad to Have a Chance to Fracture
the Monroe Doctrine.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Italian participa-
ton in the Anglo-German action against
Venezuela produces an effect here, not anti
American. but one of self satisfaction and
pride at taking a part in what is considered
the first break in the Monroe doctrine, says
the Tribune's Rome correspondent. Parlia-
ment and the public press. without distlnc-
ton of party, which is very strange In
Italy, approve the action of the minister OF
foreign affairs.
ROME, Dec. 1.-THE claims of Italy on
Venezuela, referred to by Foreign Minister
Prinetti in the Chamber of Deputies here
yesterday, comprise losses sustained by
Italy's citizens during the recent revolu-
tons. Most of the 7,61S Italian residents Of
Venezuela have been heavy losers. The
Poggioli firm. from Elbaisland, is the great
est sufferer. All its property was sacked
Other important losers are an engineer
named Martinette and ex-Deputy Fagi,
controller of the Maricual coal mines,
which were invaded by the Venezuelan
troops, who destroyed everything and
obliged the Italian miners to flee from the
country. All the marble works In Vene-
Zuela, besides other Industries, were In the
hands of Italians, hence the aggregate of
the Italians for damages is large.
CARACAS, Dec. 1.-THE Italian minister
Rivas only handed to the Venezuelan gov
eminent certain demands which were not
in the form of an ultimatum, and which
did not specify any limit of time for an an
sWer. His note simply asked for payment
of sums due to Italy, and, in case OF pay
ment being made to other countries, IT
asked for the same treatment. The gov
ernment answered to-day in the negative to
the note of Minister Rivas, saying that
tribunals exist in Venezuela to judge any
claims arising from the revolutions. The
correspondent called to-day at the Italian
legation and saw Minister Rivas and his
wife and two daughters with regard to the
report that they had embarked on the
Giovanni Bausan. They laughed and said:
1--WE have never left the city of Caracas.
and much less embarked on the Italian
cruiser at Laguayra. There is no excitement
among the people here against Italians,
because as yet no Italian naval demonstra-
ton has taken place.

DEWEY'S GREAT FLEET.
1t Will Not he Sent to La Guayra, but
Will Remain Near There.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-Disposition of
the men-of-war of Admiral Deweys fleet
during the holidays is to be made under the
direction of the secretary of the navy, in
view Of the increasing complications aris-
ing in connection with Venezuela and the
wishes Of this government not to arouse
suspicion unnecessarily by dispatching a
large naval force to Venezelan waters.
Admiral Dewey cabled the department yes
terday in regard to the orders for his fleet
during the Christmas holidays. though
Secretary Moody did not announce the re-
cept Of the dispatch until to-day. Orders
are now in preparation for the various YES
sells and will be forwarded to the admiral
in the next day or two.
No reflection upon Admiral Dewey is in
tended by the Navy Department in deciding
to give 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 ii
seemed that the question could be more
satisfactorily settled here, as the navy de-
partment is IN possession or all the facts
regarding the action of the allied powers,
and danger of conflicting with the policy of
the State Department will be averted. 1t is
unlikely that men-of-war Will be sent to
La Guayra the feeling being that the
presence Of American men of war at this
time might cause uneasiness among the
allied powers well as offer encourage
ment to President Castro TO maintain his
defiant attitude.
On the other hand the situation has
grown so acute within the past few days
that both state and navy department Off
Gals are agreed that it will not be unwise
to rendezvous the fleet in ports within easy
range of the Venezuelan coast.
SAN JUAN. Porto Rico Dec. 16.-Admiral
Dewey has decided to make tour of the
northern islands of the West Indies during
the approaching holidays. He will remain
at San Juan until Dec. q, when recep.
ton and ball in his honor will be given.
The admiral will then cross the island and
return here to join the Mayfiower, using
the vessel to visit st. Thomas and other
points.
