LA GUAYRA, Venezuela, Sept. 26.-There
is intense excitement in this city over the
arrival of the Red ID line steamer Caracas

in command of the United States cruiser

the captain of the Caracas not to deliver

Uncle Sam Makes Demand.
The customs OfflclalS at nrSt refused TO
grant the Caracas permission to discharge

Minister Scruggs sent formal demand to
the Venezuelan capital for the return of the
six refugees taken from the Caracas some
time ago and now in the hands of General
Urdaveta He also demanded a salute to

But there was no regular government to

Crespo at La Teuquas. A rigid press CEN
