THE VENEZUELAN SITUATION.
Washington, Sept. .S.-Oficials here
regard the Venezuelan situation as
critical. The cruiser Detroit is due at
La Guayra tonight, and, as that point
is only two hours from Caracas, no ap-
prehension is felt that any American
interests will suffer by the disturbance.
The Venezuelan charge d'affaires, Mr..
Pulido has received no information on
the reported serious government re-
verses by Gen. Castro and the re.
pressive measures said to have been
adopted at Caracas.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Although the
president had thought that itwould be
quite impossible for him to extend his
western trip beyond Chicago, he is now
seriously considering the matter, and,
while there is some clashing of dates,
it is hoped that he will be able to visit
St. Paul and Minneapolis and possibly
Aberdeen, s. d., to welcome the re-
turning volunteers.
