THE VENEZUELA CLAIMS.

1t is with regret / announce that no fur
ther payment has been received from the
government of Venezuela on account of
awards in favor of citizens of the United
States. Hopes have been entertained that If
the republic could escape both foreign and
civil war for a few years, its great natur-
al resources would enable it to honor its
Obligations. Though it is now understood
to be at peace with other countries, a seri-
Gus instruction is reported TO be In prog
rCss in an important section of that repub-
lie. This may be taken advantage Of as
another reason to delay the payment Of the
due Of Our citizens.
