DRILL TEAM ATH0ME
MOBILE GIVES ROYAL WELCOME
 TO KNIGHTS.
Speeches by Mayor Lyons and MT. Boone to Honor Pythians Back
 from Boston.


 Mobile. Aug. 19.--(Spectal l-Pyth- ians turned out en masse' this after noon to welcome back to the city the drill team of the uniform rank. which, under Captain Ford. won the third prize in the recent contest at Boston.
 When the Mallory steamship Sabine came alongside her wharf. the fnen of the prize team lined up,.while the well coming PythIans stood at every con- eeivabie place of vantage along the wharf. Cheer after cheer was sent backward and forward, handkerchiefs were waved and the whole scene was one of the greatest animation.
 As soon as the boat had been prop- eriy moored the prize team quickly found It's way ashore where their hands were grasped by those who had been long waiting. Again there was cheering and with 1t the wild waving of handkerchiefs and the eolors of the Knights of Pythias.
 It was some time before the process sion was formed, but once in line the order came to march and to the strains of music from Knipper's Concert Band and the escort to the prize team start ed off for Royal Street and from thence to Bienvtlle Square. Here there were waiting h large number of citizens, many of whom were Pythians and their friends.
 The addresses of welcome was made by Mayor Pat J. Lyons on behalf of the city and Attorney B, B. Boone on the part of the Knights of Pythias.
 More speeches followed and some music after which there was a short drill by the team at the conclusion of which all repaired to the Castle Hall, the rooms of which and grand stairway had been tastefully decorated with palms and other plants, while festoons of the Pythian colors adorned the walls
 Here after the usual ceremonies of A public reception. there was more speech making and more music the lat ter being furnished by a string orches- tra The program was a most pleasing one, and concluded with a serving of refreshments.

 The Hague. Aug. 1e.--After a nine- hour session. during which the dispute between The Netherlands and Vene- zuela was canvassed exhaustively in all it's phases. the cabinet dispersed shortly after midnight last night and Minister of Foreign Affairs Van Swim dern proceeded to the Royal Chateau to result of the Council
 The terms of The Netherlands as to the letter of President Castro of Vene- zuela were fully discussed, and 1t is understood that the actual text as well as broad lines of action drawn up to meet any possible eventualities were agreed upon.
 In diplomatic circles here. the view Is entertained that the present dif- hculty between Holland and Vene- zuela Is not Of a nature to be settled by arbitration, and. in explanation, it Is pointed out that the dispute Is not of private commercial character. like the difficulties that have arisen be- tween Venezuela and Great Britain. Germany and America. In these cases the Governments in question sought satisfaction for claims, but Holland has no claim against Venezuela.
 It Is maintained here that the pres ent question is rather one of sover- eighty and national honor. matters which are not susceptible of solution by arbitration.
 The Netherlands cabinet, though 1t has outlined tentatively a general plan of procedure. has becided to await the arrival here of M. de Rues. the Minister who was expelled by Presi- dent Castro, before coming to a deh- nite decision, and it will not take the offensive unless compelled to do so by Venezuela.
 Tn the event of war like measures. 1t Is understood. that there will first be naval demonstration of La Guayri. Subsequent action will depend on the result of this course.
 M de Reus is expected here about Aug. 24. It has been agreed to push all necessary preparations in order to eo ready to support an ultimatum should 1t be decided to forward one to President Castro.
 Work has been rushed night and day at the naval yards to complete the there. so that they will be in readiness to reinforce the vessels now in the Caribbean by the end of next month.

 No passengers are permitted to enter or depart from Venezuela without hav- Ing received the permission of the government. and such permission is granted only to individuals who take passage for points In Europe or North America.
 This measure ia supposed to have been taken because of the existing dif- fculty between Venezuela and Holland.

CASTRO MAY HAVE TO FIGHT Holland Is Planning For
 a War. CARACAS IS ISOLATED Consular Agents Are Withdrawn
 from Venezuela. Business Houses Find Conditions Un- bearable With Communication
 Cut on--The Hague Gov
 erBment Awaits Report.

Caracas. Saturday, Aug. S--"To cre- ate diplomatic agents for the purpose of humbling weak nations, is anomal- ous and counteractive." is President castro's frank opinion of diplomatic events as recently expressed in an ln- l terview.
 He surely has been consistent in Waging a war on those whom he thought were trying to humble him. Holland is the fourth power which, du- ring the last few days. has severed al friendly relations with Venezuela.
 The American government has now gone even one step further in complete " suppressing the consular agency at Caracas, very unexpected action, tnas- much as Caracas business houses have been geratly inconvenienced by being obliged now to depatch their hides, cof- fee and cocoa through the consular agent at LaGuayra. Thus the capital of Venezuela. where there ought to be a Consul General. Is today entirely with out consular representation.
 John Brewer, late Consular Agent remains here as guardian of the arch ives of the closed legation. It Is taken for granted that this latest move from Washington is only one more in- dication of the coming of a more se- rious rupture.
 The few diplomats remaining here have had a hard row to hoe. not only because of the imminent danger which they are in of suddenly becoming per- soma non Grata, but because of being practically cut of from all communi- cation with their governments. The recent isolation Of Curacao has destroy. cd almost the only chance of getting cablegrams out of Venezuela by mall To Trinidad there are only a few steamers in a month and dispatches must now be mailed to the cable sta- tion on that island. The land telegraph lines are not open to cipher messages.
 Tho diplomats call this lack Of cable communication "unbeaFable. Worst of all, there appears to be little prospect of a settlement with the French Cable Company, which has been so often ru" mored.
 France has at last placed her in- terests here in the hands of M. Lorena Fererra, Minister of Brazil, For two months since the closing of the Amer. lean legation, French subjects in Vene- Zuela have been without protection. The fact that Brazil has taken charge of these interests as well as those of the United States is considered by the diplomatic corps to mean that the arr engagement is only temporary and that something will be done to stralghten things out,
 The little Dutch island of Cuarao Is now perishing because of the com mercial isolation forced upon it by General Castro in retaliation for the recent attack of a mob on his conslate. No steamers are allowed to enter Ven

 Speed was then increased to twelve knots and although the hospital ship, Relief, was left behind the others reached the coast on schedule time. The Americans are as anxious as the Australians to take part in the recep- tions and the fetes which the latter have prepared for them.
 In perfect alignment, the flagship Connecticut leading with Rear Admiral Sperry on the bridge, the warships came out of the horizon. first little smoke showing and then the hulls, low down In the distance.
 Passing in through the Sydney holds in double column. at intervals of 400 yards, the ships looked to have world of speed and power under their glisten- ing sides.
 The fleet was attended by convoy steamers and was greeted with roar of saIutes from the forts as 1t steamed along. The crowds ashore and afloat gave their cheers to swell the noisy welcome and the countless flags were swung to the breeze and were still waving long after the anchors had been swung from all sides.
 The American ships boomed forth a salute to the port and as soon as they were safely moored to their anchorage, official visits were exchanged.
