Sensational Dispatches Received by the

Caracas, Venezuela, Jan. 10.-News OF
grave import has been received from
the Guayana frontier. The govern
ment is notified that troops, with rifles
and cannon, from Demerara have ar

IRENE limit of the British claims in
the disputed territory, and the scene o.
the Yuruan incident, where British
officials were arrested by VeneZuelans.
The number of the invaders isuncertain.
Some of the papers say there are over
1000, but that is probably an exagger-
alton. They are possibly few hum
dred British Guiana police.
The government gives no official no.
tice of what action it will take. 1t is
probable, however, that it will send
troops to the scene with orders to he
cautious but at the same time to resist
invasion. The belief is increasing that
the enemies of the government are be-
ing aided by British gold. 1t is even
rumored that Great Britain will furnish

Oklahoma Wants statehood.

Perry, o. t., Jan. 9.-From present
indications the statehood convention
which meets at Oklahoma City to-day
will be the largest ever held in this
territory, and the number has been
more than a dozen. There will not be
less than 500 delegates present, with a
large lobby. The question as to who will
be the Senators from Oklahoma and the
capital question will enter largely into
the fight. The Republicans as rule
favor indorsing the recent bill intro
duced by Delegate Flynn in the lower
house of Congress for Oklahoma state
hood which really provides for state
hood for Oklahoma alone. The mon
eyed men of the territory may fight
double statehood.
