tional indebtedness for the past 81
months Only two or three importing
houses at Caracas are paying expenses.
business Is practically limited TO needed
feed stuffs and many import orders have
been countormandod. Extreme lack OF
confidence prevails in business cireles
and the immediate future contains moth
ing promising improvement. The ex-
peotation Is that the general financial
situation will become worse before IL eau
improve. Consequently the government
Is getting into more severe straits 20
find money 10 meet the extraordinary
expense incident TO maintaining the
army on the frontier.
The number of people suffering from
tho hard times is greater now than at
any time during the last four years.
Many people nc Caracas are suffering
from lack Of food. and the salaries Of
all tho government civil employees hav
been cut in half, but even this now i,
not paid.
Tho feeling throughout the country
against President Castro is growing
stronger every day and the feeling ON
account o. his alleged nialadministra-
ton Of public affairs extends 10 a small
group Of his favorites who surround
him. The country's discomfort at Gen.
Castro's dictatorship is evidenced by
many comparatively insignificant signs,
but they plainly foretell a growing rev.
olutiou.
A rupture between Colombia and
Venezuela would give the revolutionary
element the desired opportunity TO a
tack the government President Castro
recognizes the discomfort existing
throughout the country at large and il
taking measures 10 meet whatever rev.
dictionary exigencies may arise. He
has realized that II the Colombian i'm
broglio neoessitates his leaving Caracas
for the frontier. the chances are greatly
against his ever returning 30 the capital.
Such an opportunity would undoubtedly
DO grasped by the reyolutionists, who
wcuR usurp the dictatorship.
Arrivals Colon here from the coast
brings no news from Rio Hacha, bus
they confirm the news previously csblsl
OF the complete defeat of the Venezuelan
Invaders at the Peninsula Of Goajuira
by Colombian troops. Several guns
and large quantity Of ammunition
were captured.
The reports published In the United
States 10 the effect that the Venezuelan |
government has exaoted money from
banks and merchants by forced loans
and that "A number OF stores are closed /
and that bankruptcy Is pending, arc
pronounced false by the Venezuelan
government.

VIII you and your readers pardon me If
I say word regarding the selection of
the committee of one hundred appointed
for the purpose of taking charge of the
ARRANGEMENTS for the celebration of Flag
day in this city on June IA? There is not
an active Grand Army man among the
number The names of few, very few,

The presence of rats in the residence

and attempts are being made by some
to kill them off. a peculiar method is
followed by the rodents in travelling
from one house to another. A few
evenings ago a lady was sitting on her
veranda when her attention was at
tracted by what she first thought was
a huge lizard crawling along an electric
light wire which connected with the
house. She soon discovered her mis-
take as the lizard" was a big rat He
travelled along the wire keeping his
equilibrium and reached his destina-
ton safely. The lady told her hus-
band of the occurrence and only after
witnessing a similar acrobatic feat.
was he convinced that such a thing
could be done. The husband has is
sued an edict in his household that war
must be declared on the rodents seek
ing entrance to his premises in this
manner.
