New York, Jan. 21.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Caracas, Venezuela, says:
The cabinet is now discussing a case
which has attracted much attention here.
1t involved the introduction of manufact-
ures from England into the republic, and is
the hrst step, perhaps. in practical apDli-
cation of the suggestion that commercial
warfare be waged against England and all
European countries. George Turnbull of
Boston, who claims part ownership in the
great iron mines in the Imataca mount
aims, not far from the Orinoco and within
the territory contested by England, started
from Great Britain with mining machines
and material which were consigned to a
firm in Ciudad Bolivar.
In the course of the voyage he STOPPED
at Barbados, where he disembarked with
his material. There he chartered vessel
and had the manifest approved, his desti-
nation being La Guayara.
When Mr.. Turnbull arrived at La Quay
ara the collector of customs said that was
right, and he dispatched deputy to zee
that the English material was properly re.
embarked for the mines, Mr.. Turnbull
taking tug for Bolivar.
When he offered to pay the duty on the
machines he WAS told he had violated the
law in not going to the point originally ap-
pearing in the manifest. He was further
Informed that his act was regarded as an
Invasion of Venezuelan territory, and that
it was probable that his machinery would
be confiscated.
The mines near Imataca are in the terri
tory covered by the Manoa grant, owned by
an American syndicate and including
nearly 15,00O.00O acres, The grant was
made by President Crespo for the purpose
of developing the country now claimed by
England. The prize offered By the pregon-

ing notice shall appear in the press gener-
ally telling citizens of Venezuela who pur-
chase British products that they thereby
increase British power.
A dispatch 10 the World from Caracas
says:
The admiralty observes secrecy. The
sailing of the American squadron now at
anchor in Hampton Roads, to watch the
Venezuelan coast, is looked for.
England proposed method of arbitration,
which has been published in the American
press. is viewed here with suspicion, espe-
cially Chile's offer of mediation.
Venezuela would never consent to this.
Chile has been Venezuela's enemy. Chile
is also opposed to the United States and
friendly 10 England.
Anti-Englsh sentiment continues popu-
lar. An efiigy of Salisbury was prepared
and carried through the streets, the multi
the plaza, where a mock trial was held.
The efflgy was sentenced to death. Ex-
cited people pulled the clothing from the
figure and tore it into pieces, which were
distributed among the crowd.
President Crespo and his family, with
bodyguard of $50 soldiers, have sought
quiet on the sea coast. With Secretary
Nunez and clerks, the president is prepar-
ing his annual message to Congress which
meets in February. 1t is said it will be
vigorous document.
The revolutionary movement is dying
out. The government is confident.
REVOLUTION FEARED
New YORK, Jan. 22.-A dispatch to the
World from San Salvador says:
The minister of war is mobilizing the
militia, of which in this city alone there
are 1000 available. Although the govern
ment asserts this is done only for the pur-
pose of accustoming the militia to the use
of arms and to perfect their drill, it is be-
lieved the government apprehends a revo-
luton.
The Diario, official, publishes a state-
ment denying that any Salvadoreans are
now banished for political causes, saying
all citizens who are absent can return fear
lessly at their convenience.
1t is reported that the garrison at La
Libertad has revolted in favor of Ezeta.
