 With reference to the payment of the Cuban army, the letter advises Senor Palma to declare that all claims will be thoroughly examined before they are recognized.
 He Is also invited to declare that Gu ba cannot afford to grant very liberal tariff concessions to the United States for some time. as she needs theseustoms revenue, being unable at present to raise internal taxes"

Correspondent at WIIemstad Says New Revolution is
 Being Planned
SITUATION QUITE SERIOUS
Colombia Issued Decree to All Gov ernors to Act independently In Their acknowledgement for
 War Material Suspended.

New York, August 2S.-President Castro has sent the gunboats zumbador and Mi- randa and other Venezuelan war vessels from La Guayra and Coro with troops under the command of General Davila, to Rio Hacha. on the coast of Colombia, says the Willemstad, Curacoa, correspon- dent of the Herald. Eight hundred men are in the expedition.
 These troops will assist the Colombian revolutionists under General Uribe-Uribe. President Castro has also sent good supply of ammunition.
 News from Venezuela confirms the re- ports that the republic is absolutely quiet, notwithstanding a fear of general uprising on the Colombian frontier, due to the proclamation of President Castro that Venezuela was being attacked by the conservative government of Colombia.
 There is excellent authority for the statement that a new Venezuelan revolu- tion, led by liberals, is being arranged. The leader of this revolution is now in New York.
 The political situation in Venezuela is more than serious. No one is allowed to leave the country without special pern1is- sion. At the Limon river, where an Amer ican company employs 300 men, one morn- ing only 15 were found on the premises, the others having been forcibly recruited during the night to defend the country.
