Carrollton, Miss, Aug. 3.-The air
has been rife with rumors Of addi-
tional lynchings all day, but in each
case these reports have been without
foundation. A posse of men are
securing the country in an effort to
apprehend several negroes suspected
of completely in the murder of Mr..
and Mrs. Taliaferro on Tuesday night
last, but up to nine o'clock last night
no arrests had been made. The only
persons lynched in connection with
the murder were the three negroes,
full details Of which were sent in
these dispatches Thursday night.
Sheriff Woodall stated last night that
he had released all negro prisoners
and that no further trouble was an
ticipated. The town last night was
quiet.

Willemstad. Curacao, Jan. 19.-(Via
Uavtien catle}.-The United States
auxiliary cruiser Scorpion. Lieuten3 Mt
Commander n. Sargent commanding,
has lust arrived here on the way to
Guanico, Venezuela. the nearest port
to the scene of the trouble between
the rival asphalt companies. She re-
Gently left La Quay and brings the
latest news of the Venezuelan trouble.
The situation is described as being
serious. 1t is said that the emphatic
protests of the government at Wash
ington have been defied, and bloodshed
at the lake OF the Bermuda Asphalt
Co. was feared.
The most hot-headed of the foreign
ers in Venezuela go so far as to say
that if the Washington authorities do
not take steps to protect American cit
izens now. all foreigners may as we'll
leave the country. The officers Of the
Scorpion are quoted as saying that the
diplomatic corps at Caracas is unani-
NOUS on this point as are all the for
eigners. They admit. however. that the
United States minister at Caracas. Mr..
Francis r. Lcomis. is working vigor-
terS.
The more recent developments in tho
trouble in Venezuela We're the seizure
by the authorities at Ciudad Bolivar
Of the two steamers belonging to the
Orinoco Co. This concern is an Eng
lish corpora ton, but 80 per cent. of the
capital is American. The manager of
the company is Mr.. Morgan Olcott of
large fleet Of steamers used for naVi-
eating the Orinoco river. Two of these
steamers were seized by the NeneZue-
Ian authorities during the last revolu-
tion. and it is said they were ruined.
The concession of the Oronoco Go.
was recently annulled on the ground
that it was Illegal. and the opinion pre-
walls that it will be driven from bust
ness. and that all the money invested
by the shareholders will be lost unless
the British or American governments
intervene. Mr.. Looms is using his
good offices to save the two steamers.
The United States legation at Caracas
however, is overwhelmed with work
and the companys business has been
stopped. 1t is asserted that the COM
panv has unpaid claims against the
government for $500. 600.
1t is further asserted that hundreds
of Icgitimately conducted foreign en-
tcrprises have been ruined in Latin
America during the last 30 years by
loOting officials and reyoutionists It is
alleged that an attempt is now being
made to squeeze" the BermudeZ AS
phalt Co. for about $500 600. According
to the reports which reached here, to-
day. is the company does not pay this
amount to the Venezuelan officials its
property said to be worth several mill
lion dollars. viii be taken unless the
United States government intervenes
If the most recent Venezuelan re
ports are to be believed. the anti-gov-
crnment disturbances there are conGn-
ed to small revolutionary movements
in the eastern part of Venezuela.
