Washington. Dec, 2i--Thef a new cabinet may have an important bearing on the relations of that country and the United States is the opinion Of state department officials who read the Associated Press dispatches from Fort of Spain telling of the appointments. of Vice President Gomez.
 This depends. however, on the consti- tution cf the new body and whether the Vice President and the clement com posing t are willing and anxious to resume diplomatic negotiations with the United States. The elimination from the new cabinet Of those who were closely affiliated with the Cas- tFo rule is gratifying to the officials here who hope that under the new order or things some progress may pe made towards the adjudication of the claims of the United States against Venezuela which have been pending for 30 long time.
 If Venezuela, under the new dispen- sation. shows disposition to resume diplomatic relations with the United states. the state departnrent would lend It's aid. in that direction without hesitation. It prefers to be on friend ly terms with our south American neighbors. For this reason. the ap- pointmenf of new cabinet may have an important bearing on the relations between the two governments.

MYSTERY OF MAINE
SAILS UNDER SEALED
 ORDERS.
She LeaveH Norfelk For The south Ama Goyernment Officials Are Retfcemt -May Be off To Eene-
 MaseIa

Washington. D. C., Dee, zf--.The most complete mystery 90 far aa any admission can be obtained, surrounds the destination of tho batlsahfn Maine. which left Norfolk today under sealed orders.
 Neither the state nor the navy de- partnent officials win make any stata- nent on the subject any more than to say that tho vessel has gone son a cruiser and they will not deny or af- firm runlors that were current today that the ship is bound for duty at or in the vicinity of venezuelan waters.
 The American government is with out any naval representation in that immediate section and should an out break against the existing government occur. such American interests as may exist in the port of La Guayre, oporto Cabello and Maracaiho would have to appeal to the navies of foreign na- tions for help.
 1t has been the belief of the state department that the feeling manifested in such a forceful manner In Caracas last week would develop into some- thing more serious. resulting in the formation OfNa government with a new president at its head. In such a case. 1t would be desirable to have ct hand, a war vessel for any duty that she might be called upon to perform.
 As the battIeship Maine is equipped with wireless telegraphy. this affords ready means of communication with tine United States if necessary The Maine Is in command of Rear Admiral Conway H. Arnold. formerly on special duty at the war college. Admiral Ar mold was in Washington on Saturday in confefence with the naval officials ana this, It is understood. was followed by a talk last night between Secretary Root and Secretary Newberry.

Berlin, Dec. 2i.-The. German gov ernment resents the statements attrf- buted to the American press indicat- Ing that Germany has shown an un- duly friendly attitude toward Presi- dent Castro.
 The foreign ofices says that 1t has been merely obeying the dictates of international courtesy and points out that Castro did not come incognito. but aB a president of venezuIa, in which capacity he sent a telegram of homage eo Emperor William and left whereupon both the Emperor and the foreign minister sent representa- lives to thank the South American viz sltor and inquire about his health.
 These are the only only official acts taking ccBnizance of Castfo's presence in Berlin, No political subject what ever had been preached at these meet : inks and moreover the German gov ernment has no intention of approach inG the Venezulan president with any political proposals. nor does it expect to utilize his coming to secure com ,merciai advantages in his country.
 Meanwhile Castro keepa himself in the background. taking no step to- ward opening relations with the German governpept. The foreign of ice has fully informed the Nether- lands concerning the two visits refer red 10.
 Conjectural reports are circulating in the press here that Castro is nego- tiating with German ship yards for the construction of several warships to repel such actions as Holland is now taking. These reports have a wide range. one saying that venexue- Ia has asked for two battleships and another thnt she desirea six cruisers. It Is further stated that Castro in- tends ordering artillery in Germany for the Venezuelan army.
 The minlsay of marine fiatly de- niss the report that a German sdua- aron will proceed to American waters In the spring.
