VENEZUELA TROUBLE.
Government Refused TO Aecede 10 Re-
quest Of ainister LOOMS.

Fort de France, Martinique, January
"a, via Havtien oable.-As a result OF
the inquiries of the correspondent Of the
Associated Press into the attituds OF
Venezusla towards Americans, the revolt
of troops at Caracas ard the sinking OF
British vessel by Venezuelan gun
boat, the following report Is nied here
owing to the press censorship In Nene-
zuela making cabling OF news from that
country almost impossible. The attituds
of the government OF Venezuela towards
the Bermudsz Asphalt company, (Ameri-
CAM, is hostile, for the reasons that the
concessions recently aosoIded by the gov
eminent been given to people in touch
with the government who would like to
resell them to the Bermudez company.
Ths government has refused to ao-
osds to the requests OF Minister Loomis,
who dsmardgd suspension OF action
on the part of the new ooncessionists
In taking possession of their grants.
AS the result OF strained relations be-
tween Venezuela aud the United States,
war vessels are expected to return TO La
Guayre, and If the Venezuelan govern
ment employs force to take possession
of the Asphalt Lake it Is believed that
the u. S. auxiliary gun boat Scorpion
will lard an armed force. The attitude
of the venezuelans towards Americans
may be described as hostile. On TIE 10 OF
this month the Venezuelan troops In
the Hoyo barracks at Caracas mutinied
and killed their colonel, lieutenant-col-
onel ard seven men, ard then fed in
various directions.
No accurate details are obtainabls re-
garding the sinking OF the British sloop

She had the room darkened. Heavy

Her meals were brought to her. Wher

A few days ago. writes the Vienna cor

old beggar woman. well known to the
notice for her drunkenness, was buried
by the parish in the suburbs of Buda-
pest. As she had lived for the last ten
years entirely upon charity, there were
few benevolent persons i'm that city to
whom she was unknown. Clothed in rags
as she was, and always covering at the
corner OF some street, she still retained
traces of her former remarkable beauty.
Her story, known to some few persons in
Pest was a lamentablo one. Born as
princess of q we'll known Russian house,
she began life surrounded by every lux

Of the South Russian steppes, wild and
