VENEZUELAN CONTROVERSY.
There Need Be No Fear of Govern
 mental Complications.

Washington, March 1.-The Venezuelan charge. Senor Pulido, says there need be no fear of any governmental complica- tions growing out of the recent asphalt affairs in Venezuela and the course of MT. Loomis, United States minister. Any criticisms which have been made of Mr. Loomis are said to come from private sources and not to be shared by the re- sponsible officials of Venezuela. The local papers of the country have reprinted ar ticles appearing in the United States ar raignmg Venezuela as a "blood-thirsty country" and these have caused consid- erable irritation and adverse press com ment; but so far as the Venezuelan gov ernment is concerned. frequent communi- cations to Senor Pulido show that the most friendly sentiment continues to be entertained for the United States.
