 OMAHA, Neb., June lS-City Treasurer Henry BOlen. whose accounts are under investigation by his bondsmeu, has mysteriousiy disappeared. There is nothing positive as to the condition of his office. The bond is one million dollars. WAsHINGToH, June l7-Theye is req son to believe that the United Stat. | will now have occasion to give another | interpretation to the Monroe doctrine, | l as applicable to the acquisition of an is- land of the coast of Venezuela, to be | used by Germany for a naval stn ton | The attention of the officials hss recently | been directed 10 the interests of Ger | many Tn that locelity, and there is ap- prehe DsIop that the sub!ect may assume | as formidebie en aspect us that of British | aggression on Venezuelan soil. A large | amount of German capitol has been in- | vested in Venezuela of late under pecu- l liar circumstances. The government | wanted railroad through a rich and | productive valley and a German syndi- | cate stood ready to build the road on | condition that Venezuela would guaran- | tee per cent on the capital invested. ] The guarantee was gwen and the road | was built and put into operation about | eight months ago. At the outset it was | supposed about Si,0CG.OO0 would amply | cover the cost of the road. but the actual | outlay reached about SS. .00O0O0. By the | terms the government of Venezuela now | becomes responsible to the German sym dicate for per cent return on this | SS. .OO0000. The road has been in opera | ton long enough to d.termiue what it | will earn, but it's most sapguiDe promot- | CTS do not hope that it will pay per cent on the outlay. Whatever it earns will be applied on the investment, and Venezuela will then have to give sufti cient to bring the earnings up to per cont. It is said to be this that similar German interests that are inclIning the German government to regard with favor the acquisition of an i-lsnd of the Vene- zuelan coast to be used as a naval sta ton and as a sort of operations for Ger many on the American continent. The guarantee to the German syndicate is of a private character, the German gov ernmeut hsving no interest in the mat- ter, but it is looked upon as affordipg means by which the government iO giy- | ing protection to its citizens could also carry out it's detire for acquisition of a | naval station. The circumstances are such as to lead to the belief that the United States will sgsin be called to define to what extent the acquisition of territory by e foreign power in South American soil is compatible with the Monroe doctrine.
