WASHINGTON. Aug. !J. Over night th
JKavy department received word that Cin
cinnati had tailed yesterdsy from Porto
Csbello for Barcelona, under tho Instruc
tion! cabled yesterday to Commander Mc
Lean, directing atther Cincinnati or To
peka to proceed Immediately to thst point.
Commander McLean, who Is the senior
fcfllcer present, evidently decided to go him
self and leave Topeka to protect American
Interests at Porto Cabello. It Is probable
that Cincinnati already has arrived at Bar
celona, but that fact may not be known
officially here for several days, as Minister
Bo wen cabled the Btats department from
Caracas today that the cable from Caracas
to Barcelona again had been cut by the
revolutionists.
On Monday he reported that this cable
tad been out, but presumably It had been
repaired In the interim and his last dis
patch Indicates that the connection again
has been lost
Neither the Stats nor the Navy depart
ments have received confirmation of the'
press dispatches from ths port of Spain,
which were conveyed there from Barcelona
fey boat, of ths extent of the fighting at
Barcelona and of tho report that the Amer
ican, Italian and Dutch consulates bsd been
pillaged. The officials of ths Navy depart
ment are confident that Commander Mc
Lean with Cincinnati will be able to take
cars of American Interests there.
Kaval Force Softlclen't.
Owing to ths general disturbed condition
of affairs all along the line of ths Venezue
lan coast and the appeals of Minister Bowen
for warships, (he question whether our na
val fores In those waters la sufficient to
take care of ths existing situation and to
meet future contingencies has been can
vassed. For the present It has been de
cided that it la unnecessary to send an ad
ditional vessel. We now have three ships
at ths- three critical points, Cincinnati at
Barcelona, Topeka at Porto Cabello, where
tbs Germans already have landed a fores,
and Marietta at ths mouth, of the Orinoco,
which was declared blockaded by the Castro
government.
Ths question of affording aa asylum to
President Castro aboard an American war
hip la ease he should ba obliged to flee
from tho country and should have no othsr
means of escape, has not been seriously
considered by toe State department and it
la not believed that his condition at present
Is desperate enough to make such a move
Imperative. Besides, it la reported through
the press dispatches that he has a vessel
at' La Guayra upon which he can embark
for Franca if the necessity should occur.
- Calls for laterreatloa.
BERLIN, Aug. IS. Ths newspapers here
display the news from Venexuela promi
nently and print everything from New York

Interest Is taken In events In Central
America, especially on tho comments of
American newspapers.
The Lokal Amelger refers to the great
interest of foreigners tn the preservation
of order and thinks the landing of American
and German marines altogether Justified
considering the halt civilised people. The
Tageblatt says that anarchy in Veneiuela
alls for Intervention, especially on the
part of the United States.
The foreign office repeated today to local
Journalistic 'Inquirers the statement made
' to the Associated Press yesterday that

PITTSBURG. Pa., Aug. 13. Sharpsburg,
a suburb of Allegheny, is excited today over
the wreck of a West Penn freight trela of
thirty cars, loaded with benzine, gasoline,
kerosene and lubricating oil, and fear are
entertained of another catastrophe such as
was visited on Sheridan, Pa., a few month
ago, when 200 or more people were killed
and injured by an explosion following a
similar wreck.
Where the wreck occurred a tank ear con
taining 8,000 gallons of benslne broke and
the fluid ran out, forming in pools along
the tracks. There are over 150,000 gallon
of Inflammable material on the track and
th trainmen are keeping people away from
the wreck.
Should a apark fall from a passing engine
and Ignite the benilne, th results would
be. terrible, and the engineer have been
warned to be careful while passing the

It Is conceded that tha convention In

and Portland, Oregon, gave notlc that they
would ask for the convention in 1905. A
resolution Indorsing and pledging support
to th Ladle' auxiliary wa referred to
the committee on resolutions. Th visit
ing ladle effected a permanent organisa
tion of th International Woman'a auxili
ary to the I. T. U. today by electing the
following officer:
President. Mr. Frank Kennedy, Omaha;
vice-president, Mr. Herman Matthe,
Omaha; secretary-treasurer. Mr. Donnell
of Cincinnati.
A constitution prepared by Mrs. Kennedy,
Mrs. Jessie Johnson, and Mr. Francis L.
Taylor, waa adopted. It embodied close re
lation with the I. T. U. with membership
limited to relatives of members of the ty
pographies! unions.
Th convention of th .International
Etereotypera and Electrotypera' union today
adopted an agreement to be presented to
th United Typothetae.

Among other matters under consideration
wa a trademark . and others relating to
time and wage. The atereotypera and elec
trotypera spent tb afternoon with the typo
graphical convention, to which they bad
been accorded seats.
Consideration of proposed changes In the
laws of tho anion were considered all af
ternoon and until late tonight. Amend
ments were adopted' against working for
less than the scale of the union, against men
recommended by supply agents, and against
granting label to uniona where the scale
fall below $10 per week. Several changes
were made In laws regulating labels aa
to Arm violating any union law. Various
amendmenta also were mad regarding
membership card and due.
, Animated discussions rose over th
proposition from . th Indianapolis Typo
graphical union:
The ' secretary-treasurer ahall publish
monthly in the Typographical Journal an
itemised statement of all allowances to of
ficers or members, giving date of payment,
and which shall include the number of
days for which per diem Is charges, num
ber of days for which hotel expennee are
charged and the amount of railroad fare.
.Th committee on lawa reported adverse
ly on the proposition, giving as it reasons
that there was already ample provision In
'the-lawa for auditing all aooounta -and the
protection of the union. . It developed In th
long discussion that tha amendment waa
not aimed at tho offlcera, but at a certain
member of th union at Indlanapoll who
had been employed aa an organiser and
whose appointment waa opposed by a fac
tion In the Indianapolis union.
Ther wa an exciting discussion over aa
amendment' providing that no person Is
entitled to membership In a typographical
anion who la a member of any atate mili
tia. The sentiment waa generally expressed
against union men belonging to th militia,
but many of those holding these views did
not want the Typographical union to go
on record against any part of the govern
ment or against any Individual rights. The
amendment waa defeated by a viva voce
vote which Indicated a large ' majority
against th proposition.

10. My Dear General Utile: 1 greatly re
gret that at the last moment I find It will
be lmpoeslble for me to be present at the
meeting of the aoclety this year. The sol
diers rf the Philippines have reason to be
proud of a hat they accomplished from 18H
to 11. They captured a Bpanisli army
larger than their own In 'Wi: they but down
a misguided and ill-advised but fierce and
stubborn insurrection; they brought nearly
lo.OoO.uoo Filipinos under the protection and
care cf the L'nlted States, ana they laid the
foundation of a great Increase In the com
merce and p roe perl I y of their own country.
In these three years they did more for tha
Improvement or the Philippine Inlands than
the Spaniards had done in three centuries.
I should have liked to meet my comrades
and talk over the events of lK"i, snd espe
cially th men of Colorado, Pennsylvania,
Nebraeka, California and Utah, with whom
I had the honor to bo Intimately associated.
Please remember me to them and give
them, one and all. my very beat wUhes for
their future success and happiness. Hoping
that you will have a lnre and successful
meeting, and with kindest rewards to your
self personally, I remain, very sincerely
yoursT F. V. GRhiENE.
