The syndicate Of capitalists from this
country, which secured large conces-

The sentiment in the interior is shown
by the determination Of Gov. Andrade,

honor of the Americans who aided
Venezuela In 1906. The governor is a
brother of the minister here, and his
action Is in Line with that Of the gen.
