WASHINGTON , July 31. One of the old
est In service and most experienced of our
-consuls , Mr. Plumacher at Maracalbo , has
made a report of great Interest to the State
department. Speaking ot the troubles Venezuela -
ezuela has hail with European nations seek
ing to seize upon her territory ami substance ,
and pointing out In strong language the splen
did opportunity to the United States to extend
our trade with Venezuela at the expense of
other nations , the consul says that the past
year has been an eventful one for Venezuela
In her efforts for political reorganization.
He describes the opportunities lost by the
United States from 1890 to 1894 , owing to
the refusal of the Venezuelans to accept the
reclpioclty provisions of the United States ,
but since the duties were dropped he notes a
slight Improvement , exports to New York In
creasing from $1,000,000 to $7,500,000. He
attributes the depression In Venezuela to the
financial and political views of that country ,
and says that If the present crisis passes the
United States will have a great advantage ,
owing to the diplomatic complications with
Germany and Great Britain , our commercial
rivals.
"The Germans. " he says , "arc looked upon
with but little favor on account of the threat
to send German Iron clads to I/iguayra to en
force the payment of a subsidy due to the
builders of the principal Venezuela railway
The popular feeling on this point was Intensi
fied by a suggestion In a leading newspaper
that the Germans know very well that such
payment was an Impossibility , as the country
was staggering under tha burdens of the
late war and that they uolther expected nor
desired payment'but encouraged by the ex
ample of Great Britain , they probably Im
agined that it might be possible to secure a
pan of the rich guano territory as an In
demnity.
"The feeling against Great Britain Is now
most Intense throughout Venezuela. Pamph
lets and newspapers are constantly being
published respecting Hrltlsh aggressions , but
as they do not circulate outside the country
the world at large Is not acquainted with the
stateof feeling. " Mr. Plumacher says that
the United States Is In much favor , especially
as Venezuela as never before Is looking to the
United States for guidance. He says the
people of the country would prefer to trade
with the United States. New York Is but
six days from the Venezuelan coast. The
American steamship line has been one of the
principal factors in building1 up trade on the >
coast. Mr. Plumacher also says : "It Is to
Americans also that Venezuela looks today
for the development of her great natural re
sources , and the government would be glad
to grant most favorable concessions to com
panies or Individuals from the United States
who come In good faith for that purpose. "

WASHINGTON , July 31. Captain Shoe
maker , chief of the revenue cutter service ,
places no confidence In the published report
of the landing In Cuba of a large filibustering
expedition from the United States. He points
out that it would be Impossible for any con
siderable number of men to conceal them
selves in any of the Florida keys for even a
week without being discovered. Many of the
keys are low lying , barren islands , every ob
ject on which could ba jspen from a vfjseol'B
deck. The others are carefully watched by
thrco cutters now In those waters. The Wl-
nona , under the command of Captain Abbey ,
who Is said to be a very efficient officer ,
cruises from Key West through the chain of
keys east to Cape Florida , The Morrlll cruise *
from Tampa to Cedar Keys , and the Forward
from Pensacola to Cedar Keys.
Some days ago the captain of tlie Atlanta ,
now at Havana , received from the govern
ment en important cipher dispatch , which
was delivered to him by Commanded Wynn
of the Key West naval station , he using one
of the revenue cutters for that purpose. The
contents of the dispatch , however , cannot be
ascertained.
The Department of State has not been ad
vised from any source of the successful landIng -
Ing of a large filibustering expedition from
the United States In Cuba , and In some quar
ters here there Is a disposition to believe that
these stories were floated for the sake of
their morally discouraging effect upon the
Spaniards. Nevertheless there Is reason to
think that It was news of the Intended de
parture of these very expeditions that caused
so much activity In the cabinet a fortnight
Pgo , and led the Atlanta , whlcti has been off
the Florida coast several weeks , to be sent
hastily out of the dry Tortugas to watch the
great channels of communication btween the
coast ot the United States and Cuba. It is
also recalled that the United States steamer
Raleigh spent some time searching the little
keys along the coast of Psorma for members
of the party supposed to have been landed
there from the Chllds or Bridgeport after
their unsuccessful attempts to attain a land
ing on Cuban soil , and according to the
Cubans' account It Is this party which was
embarked recently , which was a part of the
expedition landtnl.

WASHINGTON , July 31. The Star this
afternoon says : An Important conference be
, tween the Louisiana delegation now here and
tha secretary of the treasury took place with
closed doors , and upon the request of mem
bers of the delegation no representatives of | (
the press and no other outsiders were ad
mitted. At this conference tlio secretary was
told that no power ou earth could keep the
, state from going republican next year If Mr.
Bowler continued to keep the planters from
getting the bounty that was allowed them by
the last congress. Secretary Carlisle was In
formed further that unless the bounty was
allowed before congress meets. Representative
Grosvenor of Ohio , a member of the appro
priations committee , propones to Introduce c
bill for the repeal of the bounty act and tc
. work energetically for its passage. The serl
ousness of the situation was Impressed 01
Mr. Carlisle and It was recalled that the bll
In the last congress was passed by a major
Ity of but five votes , and that the failure o
the Treasury department to pay the bountj ;
would mean disaster to many a man whi
had Innocently loaned money , taking thi
bounty certificates as collateral.
Olnry IN IliinilllnK tlu > Mum Claim
WASHINGTON , July 31. As the ncgotla
tlons looking to the payment of the Mor :
claim are entirely In the hands of Secretar ;
Olney at Falmonthm , the State departmen
officials here have nothing to say In th
way of comment of the news from Madrli
contained In the press dispatches. It 1
hardly probable , however , that the amoun
of the Indemnity to be paia has again be
come a question for adjustment ut till
time , for that point Is regarded as settlei
many years ago , and It Is surmised that a
present the negotiations relate entirely t
the method of payment. The opposition t
the payment of the claim reported to b
shown by the republican and liberal eleinon
lit Spain may be accounted for by the - < lc
slro of those members to give some evldenc
of loyalty to Spain In her struggla aijalns
the Cuban Insurgents , with whom they hav
been suspected of sympathizing.

WASHINGTON , July 3l.-Speclat ( Tele
gram. ) Lieutenant General John M. Scho-
HeM will leave tomorrow for New York City
to atteml the meeting of the Hoard of Ord
nance anil Formications on August ti. After a
brief visit In New York General ScliollelJ
will continue his Inspection of military posts
and will make a tour of the north. General
Schofleld today said :
"One of the most pleasant parts of my re
cent trip In the west was my visit to Omaha ,
where I w-as received very cordially by the
citizens. I am very much pleased that Secre
tary Lament has sren fit to gratify the wishes
of the people of that section by Issuing an
order to Increase the limits of the Department
of the Platte by annexing part of South Da
kota. This has been desired for some time
and I think It Is a good move.
"We are now considering the question of
further extending the boundaries of the De
partment of the Platte , and It la likely that
the matter will be settled some time during
the coming fall.
"I noticed an Interview with ex-Senator
Manderson published In The Hoc a few days
after I left Omaha regarding the plan to et-
tabllah a military school on the site of the
old post. The proposition Is a good one. but
of course military authorities will be unable
to do anything until the necessary congres
sional legislation Is enacted. I visited old
Fort Omaha , and also the new post at Fort
Crook , and my visit to Omaha was a moat
agreeable one. "
General Schotleld will 1)3 absent from Wash
ington the greater part of the time between
now and the date of his retirement , Septem
ber 29 , and will attend the dedication of the
national military park at the battlefield of
Chlckamaug.i In September.

NEW YORK , July III. Senator SUlro ( | of
Washington Is In the city. He was asked In
an interview last night If ho had heard any
Intimation from the wast about prssldent'al
candidates and who the west would favor.
He said : "You know as much about that as
I do. I could probably talk about western
favorites , but It would be Idle chatter. Tuere
are five or six men today whose names are
on the tip of every onels tqngue.as possibili
ties. TJiere is General Harrison. We a !
know that he drove the at.ice well at onu
time. The question Is , do we want him Icr
driver again ? Then there Is Tom Heed. He
holds seconil place In point of power , In th
speakershlp , in the gift of the government
To be the unanimous choice of hi * colleagues
In congress for the speaKeranlp la a grea
thing. He is , perhaps , the best parllamen
tarlan In the United States. Then there 1 :
.Morton. He Is not a spaechmaker , nor a
pyrotechnic statesman. He Is sure , solid snd
safe.
safe."I
"I have been In the senate with Allison for
sK years and I have studied him carefully.
Ho Is a student , accurate , judicious , able , and
approachable.
"McKlnley I admire. He Is , perhaps , a
more sympathetic man than any of the other
candidates. Channcey Depew Is brillla-it arid
well poised. He has n accurate and judicial
mind and Is popular , in fact , there Is not a
man prominently named but about whom
something nice cannot be said * The only
trouble Is that we have an embarrassment of
riches. We have excellent timber , and yet ,
as In war times , when the rail splitter came
to the front , a man as yet unknown may
ba chosen and he may prove the equal of our
monumental president. The west I do not
think has made a choice.
"There Is one thing that I want you to put
me down as being heartily in favor of and
that Is of holding the national convention
In San Francisco. I want the past through
her representatives to come out and see our
country. The east stays within Itself i-nd
never gets away from Its extreme localism.
Some one has said that had Columbus ells-
covered the Pacific coast there would never
have been any New Kngland. The west is
like a young giant just awakening and
stretching out his arms to feel his strength.
The west wants to enter Into a betljr fellow
ship with the east and this Is n chanca to
accomplish the end. If the convention were
held there the railroads would arr.\igo : to
sell tickets no that In returning tourists could
pass through Washington and Oregon. It
would be an admirable way of bringing : the
east end west together. "
