Hazelton, United States minister to
Venezuela, who is in Washington os-
tensibly on leave of absence from his
post, will not return to Venezuela.

Quoted altogether by Mr.. Bartlemann,
secretary of the legation, who has been

depressed over the condition of affairs,
but speaks frankly in defense of him.

on the part of Admiral Meade is at the
bottom of the matter.
