Venezuelans Show No Oourtasy to
Minister Russell.
Willemstadt, May 12__ W. W. Russell,
the American Minister to Venezuela,
sailed from here today on the steamship
Caracas for the United Btatee, where ho
will spend his vacation o f two mouths.
The American Minister arrived here
from Puerto Cabello, sailing from that
port yesterday afternoon after a visit
to the United Btatee gunboat Paduach.
Hie departure from Puerto Cabello was
signalized by a salute o f 16 guns. That
there is tension in the diplomatic rela
tions between the United States and
Venezuela was shown in the fact that
none of the local officials was on hand
to bid Mr. Russell good-bye.
Thomas P. Moffatt, the American Con
sul at La Guaira, is still in that city
without means of communication be
cause of the plague, and it is feared
without necessities o f life.
It- is thought that the United States
may send a gunboat there for the pur
pose o f transferring the consul, because
at present there are no American in
terests requiring his presence. ’
Presidont Castro’s decree shutting off
La Guaira may be prolonged indefinitely
or until a full week passes without new
cases of plague appearing. There is
great distress among the unemployed, of
which the number is large. Merchants
in La Guaira are doing little business,
and are no longer able to support the
poor. An appeal has been made to the
chamber of commerce in Caracas for
help. A second relief train was sent to
the isloatod city yesterday with pro
visions. The death list is growing, and
the whole town seems to be infected.

Where Fleet Has Stopped.
Tacoma, Wash., May 11.— Tho local
fleet committee has made arrangements
for the review of the 15 battleships in
Tacoma harbor, May 27, and the conse
quent festivities that will make their
stay of four days in this port the most
memorable in the history of the fleet’s
cruise thus far. Preparations are being
made for the entertainment of thou
sands of people all over the Northwest,
who have made known their intention
of attending the Tacoma celebration.
This will conclude May 30 with a nit»
morial day parade, having in line thou
sands of marines and sailors from the
ships, members of the Grand Army of
the Republic from every post in the
state, with the uniform rank of the fra
ternal bodies.
There will be no lack of entertain
ment for visitors, who will have a fine
opportunity to view the fleet from the
high bluffs on which the city is built.
Massed bands of the fleet, with numer-
our musical organizations of Tacoma
and the surrounding country, will play
military airs. These, with the Now
York Symphony Orchestra, led by Dain-
rosch, in a four-day engagement, will
give Tacoma the greatest assemblage
of musicians ever got together in any
city in Washington. In addition, there
will be athletic contests, boat races
between the crews of the various battle
ships, a grand illumination parade of
the harbor craft, nightly illumination
of the warships and Japanese fireworks.
