some time, and this government is
merely awaiting the course of
events" The gunboaS Marietta will
leave Curacao for Guantanamo with
Jacob Sleeper, secretary Of the Amer

tenant Francis A. Ruggles, military
attache, as passengers. Senior Veloz-

soon~ will take up his residence in the
suburbs, where he will continue. to be
In cloee touch with the state depart
ment, if necessary. Nothing has been
learned at the Venezuelan legation
concerning the events In Caracas, so
that no new light could be shed upon
the diplomatic tangle involving the
two countries.
Some interest was attached to the
fact that in ordering the Marietta
from Curacao to Guantanamo no in
structions were given for the return
Of the vessel to Venezuelan waters.
The reason given for this course was
that there was no further use Of the
gunboat to ply between Puerto Cabel-

Provisions of the statute forbid not

effort to induce voters to cast ballots
against the saloons.
Although Chicago, as a city, will not
be called upon to vote on the question
ten residents will have an opportunity
to cast ballots for or against the sa

northwest corner of the city, where
the township of Maine extends over

! San Francisco, April G.-Returnin,
home from what ne mas regarded a.
q contrived banshment for two year
in Asiatic waters, Lieut., Adolphus An
idrews, u, s. n. is speeding from SaT
Francisco to Washington, to become :
rival of the duke of Abruzzi in suing
| for the hand # dashing Katherin,
1 Elkins.
That the prospective marriage OF
1.-The rAest Virginia senator's daughter
to the noble, who is in line of success

circumyented and the name OF another
| American hCiress left out Of the anna
nae de G0tha, are among the possibil-
tiles that invest the journey of this
young Yankee gallant Of the quarter
deck with international interests.
Apart from the admitted rivalry be-
tween Lieut.. Andrews and the duke of
the Abruzzi, however, the return Of
the former is attracting naval circles
here because of the wardroom gossip
that attended his transfer to the China
station, two years ago.
At that time. Lieut.. Andrews was
attached to the staff of President
r oseyclt, at Washington, and was
among the most attentive admirers
in the train of the wealthy Miss Ell
kins.
But Mamma Elkins did not want an
untitled lieutenant for a son-in-laW.
She already had various Of ducal de.
vices on the Elkins coatof-arms 1t Is
declared, and did net wish to see Kitty
and her millions contract an alliance
with a seatlghter lacking heraldic en,
blazonment.
Naval men In San Francisco FREE
quently tell the story of what followed
over thcir cigars.
While Kitty Elkins and Lieut.. An
drews were doing politics of the heart
with their eyes, they say Mrs. ste
phen b. Elkins had conference with
her husband, the senator, and got
him to do politics of very different
order.
Whether the matter was discussed
IN detail by Senator Elkins in inter
views he had with the president and
the secretary of the navy shortly
after is not generally known.
What is known, however, is that
Lieut.. Andrews was very much sur
prised one morning to read in the
h1
report for duty on the cruiser Chat
tanooga.
The Chattanooga was then at Alex,
andria. Andrews took a steamer and
reported on the cruiser, when he
learned that he was ordered to report
N the gunboat General Villa Loboa.
Andrews obeyed orders, and report
ed on the General Villa Loboa, at the
China station, but could not help
thinking that it was a very inconven'
lent circumstance for young lieu
tenant in love to have an influential
United States senator for desired
father-in-law.
Lieut.. Andrews cruised fer two
years in Asiatic waters, in command
of the Villa Loboa. His term of duty
to this assignment expired about
month ago, when he was ordered back
to Washington to report for duty,
Andrews shipped on the Nippon
Maru and arrived in San Francisco
last week, registering at the FAR
mount He left fer Washington two
days ago.
