Possible Intervention by the United States the Most Serious Side to the Dispute. A Belief Exists in England That the Monroe Doctrine is a Sort of Standing Bluff. (Copyrighted 1895" by the Associated IS. For Americans the most important question in foreign politics at the present moment is the boundary dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela, which has brought Xorth a -warning note to the former from the United States. Great Brit-aln-4iowever, appears to have sent an ultimatum to Venezuela and there is some talk of guns and military rule, at.

the instigation of the British secretary of state for colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, who is said to be working in perfect accord with the Marquis of Salisbury. Summed up briefly, the attitude of the English people towards Venezuela is one of conscious righteousness and calm serenity. It is everywhere accepted here that the British claims are perfectly justified and complete confidence in the firmness of the government Is expressed. come time that the Marquis tand no nonsense from the Venezuelan government and consequently the announcement of the St.

James Ga-xette. exclusively cabled to the Associated Press, early this morning that the premier had sent an ultimatum to President Crespo caused but little surprise and was generally regarded as AX ORDtNAiRY INCIDENT of a "strong conservative policy," of which there have been previous examples by the present government, the notifications to China and Ashanal being forerunners of the present despatch. As in the case of Nicaragua everybody expects this last ultimatum will have the desired effect without the necessity of a recourse to the arbitrament of arms. The possibility of active intervention upon the part of the United States which is said to be the most serious Bide of the present dispute, is discussed by the Times, but the Englishmen generally profes3 to believe that the Monroe doctrine is only a sort of bluff which needs only to be met with a firm Attitude. It is generally believed that th'e'British colony Of Gulna is in a bad way and that her salvation lies inex-ploiting the gold fields which are in the riisniiatd arpa.

The Rt. Hon. D. R. Plunkett, Conservative member of parliament for Dublin university, is in the field with another crc.Dosal for meetinsrs of the representatives of the various sections for the general good of Ireland, which might be jointly submitted to parliament.

The meetings, he explains, would not affect the respective positions of those taking part in them. The first big reception of the Princess bfY Wales takes place at Sandringham op 'November 5th. The Prince of Wales will havethe diplomats and statesmen as his guests from Saturday to Monday and the sporting or more lively will visit the Prince from Mondays to Saturdays, on ensuing fortnights.

Ac- forauig to inese documents, unver Cromwell's embalmed head, after his body, with those of his most prominent lieutenants was disinterred after the accession of Charles II, to the throne, was placed on a pike, with those of Jreton and Bradshaw, over Westminster Hall. During a storm it is related the pike staff was broken, the head fell to the ground and was picked up by a sentry who concealed it in his cloak and took it home, where, fearing discovering, he hid it in the chim- ney.

Dritish Government Has Not Received a Reply to Their Ultimatum.

London, Oct. 19. The press association this evening announced that the government had not received a reply (a the ultimatum sent to Venezuela and that the foreign office had not even received an intimation that it had been delivered to President Crespo. Probably this accounts for the fact that the foreign office will only confirm the St. James Gazette story of the sending of the ultimatum to the extent of saying that it is true that the Marquis of Salisbury is taking steps to inform Venezuela that reparation is required" for the Uruan outrages.

The official statement from the' Venezuelan foreign office covers also the policy of Venezuela in case the British attempt to build the military road recommended by British Minister Chamberlain in his letter to Gov. Lees of British Guinea, The Venezuelan statement closes with the significant sentence that on the question of build-this road, the course of Venezuela has keen such that the invading neighbors make another step further on the Venezuelan line," without at once provoking rolli.sion.

University of Tennessee Defeats the C. A. Eleven. One Touch-Down Made Within Ffteen Minutes After the Game Opened and That was All. Baseball is a game of the past, and its voteries will give place to the lovers of football.

Where, with all the tossers of the ball were once held in such esteem, in the future, their places will be taken by their long haired friends, who try their best to tear off the ears, noses or anything else handy to catch hold of, from their opponents. The first football game was played yesterday afternoon at Baldwin park, between the University 'leven and the City Y. M. C. A's.

A fair sized crowd greeted the players, but not near so large as the occasion merited. In the beginning of the season, it would be weli for the managers of the University eleven to see that no one but the players are allowed on the field. If this is not attended to, it will result in no one witnessing the games. When one is in the grandstand it is an impossibility to derive any satisfaction from the game when a crowd is constantly surging to and fro, obstructing the view. Considering the time both teams have been working and especially the Y.

M. C. A. eleven, the game was very good. The players on the University side showed more science and training, but this advantage wILs offset, in a measure, by the superior weight of their opponents.

Tennessee played its ends with good effect, and would have had a complete walk over, had the interference been what it should. Bucking the center seemed the favorite play of the town boys and owing to their weight this was more or less disastrous to the cadets. They saw the weak point and kept it up till a touch down was nearly made, when the lost the ball. The game was called at 3:45 with the ball in the hands of the cadets. The first play was around left end.

The players worked together and from the start was seen the advantage they enjoyed over their opponents by their better knowledge of the science of football. The end plays, with two or three bucks through the center, were counting down the field, steadilyg going towards the opposite goal. Soon the line was 'reached and over went the ball, twelve minutes after the game began. The goal kick flew wild of the goal, about two feet and tha cadets had to content themselves with four points. 'When they again lined up, Tennessee started rapidly toward the goal but soon lost the ball.

Then came the tug of war. The Y. M. C. A.

boys proceeded to buck the center with all their might, and made a number of end plays, each bringing them nearer the goal. When about twenty-five yards away time was called. The second half was called at 4:30 with the ball in the hands of the Y. M. C.

A. boys. It soon became evident that they would make a touch down If something did not happen in favor of the cadets. It happened and Tennessee got the balL This was the beginning of a series of very funny Incidents on both sides. One side would get the ball, and on they would press toward the coveted goal but they would loose it, and-Uhe opposite side would secure the same advantages.

The second half ended before either Bide made a touch down. The. game was called at five o'clock. Score 4 to 0 in favor of the ITnlversity boys. Mr.

New Gunboat Nashville Launched at Newport News Yesterday. Miss Emma Thompson, of Nashville, Does the Honors of the Occasion Wilmington Also Launched.

Newport News, October 19. Six thousand people witnessed the launching of the gunboats, The NashviHe went off the ways at 9:47 o'clock, Miss Emma Thompson, of Nashville, breaking the bottle of champagne over' it. The "Wilmington was launched at 11:08 o'clock, Miss Anne B. Gray, daughter of Senator Gray, christen-Ing it. Vf, There was not the slightest hitch, everything going off according to pro gram.

When the Wilmington struckl the water after going over her course of 2S0 feet on the stays, her speed was estimated at eleven knots. In both instances Secretary Herbert stood upon one side of THE YOUNG LADIES christening the vessels, and C. B. Or-cutt, president of the Newport News Ship Building and Dry Dock Company on the other side. After the launch a magnificent banquet was served.

The following were the toasts: "The President," responded to by the Rev. Dr. McKay Smith, of Washington; "The Navy," Secretary Herbert; "Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company," President C. B. Or-cutt; "The Nashville," Hon.

Jos. Washing, of Nashville, and "The Wilmington," Hon. Mayor C. R. Jeffries, of Wilmington.

The two gun -boats launched -to-day are the first craft designed entirely under Secretary Herbert's administra- tion. They are specialy intended to meet the need for small, easily handled and economical craft to do police duty in shallow tropical ports and up Asiatic I rivers, thus relieving the large cruisers of work for which they are ill fitted. Chief Constructor Hichborn planned to make them composite; 'copper sheathed vessels so that they would not be obliged to resort frequently to 1 remote dry docks, but owing to- rise limitations of the law this could not be done arid the Wilming'n and the NashviHe are boats. THE NASHVILLE is a schooner rigged boat and is interesting because of her peculiar machinery arrangements. She has twin screws and two sets of quadruple expansion engines.

The cylinders of these are arranged in fore and aft lines, with the low pressures toward the bow. The purpose is to disconnect these big cylinders by a shaft coupling when the vessel is on an ordinary cruise, making the engines triple expansion, and as thus arranged they can be worked with small consumption of coal at about eight knots an hour speed. By coupling the low pressure cylinders with the others the speed may be run up to- fourteen I knots an hour, though at the expense of much more approximate to that of careful merchant steamers is expect ed. A further economy and simplicity is effected by driving the main air pump directly from the engines, keeping in reserve a small independent pump for use with high speeds. A curious arrangement of boilers has been adopted to meet the needs of the alternative quadruple or triple expansion system.

There are four tubu-lous and two cylindrical boilers. With full power and Speed all of the boilers willrbe used, the tubvtlous supplying speed at 250 pounds to the high pres-. sure: cylinders and the shell boilersj supplying steam at 160 pounds -to the, first intermediate cylinders tot meet it. At cruising speeds either set of boilers may be used alone. The imaxi-mux horse power will be 1,750.

ASIDE FROM THESE novel machinery the features of the Nashville are as follows: Length, 200 feet; breadth, ,38 feet 3 inches; displacement, 1,373 1 tons; complement, 150 men; four rapid firing four-inch rifles on the main deck, four of the same In the armored sponsors on the gun deck, four six-pounder Hotchkiss guns and a number of one-pounder and Oatling guns. The Wilmington's peculiarities are In the hull. She is only 21 tons larger than the Nashville, but she Is hill, '30 feet longer and nearly two feet -broader, being 250 feet 9 inches long by 20 feet 1 inch broad. This accounted for by the fact that she draws only nine feet of water, being specially designed for service in the shallow Asiatic rivers. She has no sail power, but has one big military mast in the shape of a conical steel tower, containing a spl-rail starcase and carrying two Gatling guns and two one-pound Hotchkiss guns.

The vessel has TWIN SCREW and double rudders, insuring quick turning in narrow channels. and to protect them from fouling and damage from the banks or. the1 hull as shaped astern into two long tunnels. This gives a great breadth of hull astern which affords a large, berthing space', augmented by a covered deck extending aft two-thirds of, the vessel's length. Both vessels are fitted with electric lights, electric fans and refrigerating plants to make them comfortable when in the tropics.

The Wilmington, has an ordinary ar rangement of six shell boilers furnish steam to -the two triple expansion engines, driving the vessel at thirteen knots maximum speed. The battery is substantially like that of the Nashville. Among thos who witnessed the events were a distinguished Official party from Washington who' arrived at eight o'clock on the Newport News. As the vessel passed up the river she was saluted by the North Atlantic squadron. In the party were Secretary Herbert, Attorney General and Mrs.

Harmon and Misses Harmon, Assistant Secretary and Mrs. McAfloo, Miss McCsou, Capt. and Mrs. Sainn-son. Paymaster General and Mrs.

Louis Globe-Democrat said: "The hook is evidently a valuable contribution to current' political history but the synopsis already published shows it to be full of errors of prejudice such as a man with, a grievance is apt tq write. Ever since 1876 Mr. tiherxnan has been; so' fir as the Presidency, is concerned, a man with a grievance. That year finding his own nomination impracticable, he threw p3BUinou pub -Joj sjq him at Cincinnati, defeating Blaine, who, in turn, defeated him in 1SS0, who said a few days before the nomination of Garfield that if the nominee should happen to be an Ohio man his name would not be Sherman. One of the glaring errors of the book is the assertion of the nomination of Chester A.

Arthur for vice president, in 1880, was the whim of Roscoe Conkling to annoy President Hayes. I know very well that Conkling did not seek the nomination of Arthur and did not approve of it. Unless Fitzsimmons Flukes. Nashville, Oct. 19.
