euNeoAT TO VENEZUELA.

United states Orders the Scorpion to
Ia Guira.
A Washington correspondent says that
the gunboat Scorpion has been ordered to
La Guira. the order emphasizing the fear
of the State Department and Navy De-
partment that there will be serious trol-
BILE in Venezuela, Notwithstanding all the
protestations Of the litigant asphalt COM
orderly manner. The presence of the
Scorpion in Venezuelan waters will give
the United States squadron to call upon
in case. of emergency, as the Lancaster
is absent only temporarily Mt Santa Lu-
cia and the Dixie is OH the way from
that place to La Guira.
While the departments are not willing
to explain the real reason of this assem-
blage of warships off Venezuela. it is OBJ
vious that they nre to be used to pre-
vent filibustering expeditions. such as
have been reported, in the interest of the
asphalt trust.
The Scorpion has been on surveying du-
ty, which has not been finished, in and
around the Orinoco river, and her sudden
movement to Venezuela can be connected
only with the belief in official circles that
large American force is absolutely nec-
essary off Venezuela.
Physical intervention by the United
States is certain to take place il there is
conflict between the employees of the
New York and Bermudez Company and
the militia of Bermudez Province, in
which the asphalt territory lies.
