Washington. d. c., November O.
The first information OF the excited pub
lie feeling in Venezuela, resulting from
the British demands, reached here to-
day In the Caracas papers up to Novem-
Der /. The prevailing sentiment is for
immediate war preparations, although
some of the conservative journals urge
moderation. The British ullmatum has
not been received, but the publication
of it's substance raised an Ou-burst Of
patriotism.

organ, makes what appears % De an au-
thcriJarige announcement that the gov
ernmen- has prepared Tor an emergency.

adds: he defense against England is

from London show tlat England pro-
poses TO use force. Venezuela has done
much toward getting ready, but she
has not yet done enough"
A strong appeal 20 patriotic senti-
ment rs made It is pointed out that
/ The Argentine Republic Won a war
/ against Great Britain. and that Mexico
won against @ combination of France
England and Spain. The paper asserts
that a people who abandon their rights
should perish from the earth.

OF the United States and all the South

tury. and it viii be accomplished.
The patriotic sentiment abounding is
shown by a national poem by Carlos
Bunck Vel0z. sounding the defense
against England.
