Venezuela In Bad Way.

New York, Feb. 26.-Reports received
at the state department at Washington
Indicate that Venezuela is financially not
in a very satisfactory condition. The
government while seemingly we'll estab-
lished, does not deem it expedient to
raise revenue through excessive taxation,
and its reasury is consequently not very
fl%ourishing. Besides, the country has
been pretty severely shaken by the revo-
luton through which it has just passed
Inc apprehension is felt that the counter
revolution viii gather strength and thus
further delay a revival of business.
Officials of the. administration have not
yet been advised that Venezuela has paid
the expenses of its representation on and
before the Venezuelan arbitration tri-
bunal which rendered its award some
months g It is known that former
President Harrison, who was leading
counsel for Venezuela, received a part of
his fee before he went to Paris, hut the
authorities have not been advised that he
received the remainder. II the claim is
not paid, no doubt is expressed by the Of
| dcials that Venezuela will regard the debt
as one which should be promptly met and
| will as soon as it's finances improve, take
measures ITO settle vt.
