GERMANY WILL WAIT.
TO SUSPEND ACTION PENDING THE
RESULT OF REVOLUTION IN
NENEZTE Ella

Berlin, Dec. 23.-The Foreign Office while
reticent as to Germanys specific plans with
regard to Venezuela, and the time of their exc
cution, gives the impression that something will
soon be done. The Foreign Office is watching
the uprising in Venezuela under the leadership
OF General Luciano Mendoza. If anything
rious comes of this revolutionary movement
Germany will suspend action in the matter until
1t Is seen with which party the de facto govern
ment rests.
The Berlin newspapers continue to publish
everything available on this subject. The "Ber-
liner Tageblatt' sums up Germanys position in
the Venezuelan matter in the following words:
This new rebellion is of the utmost conse-
quence to our relations with that country Our
position toward the government of Venezuela
would naturally be Influenced if everything
there goes topsy-turvy.
