false reports 10 his government touch
ing the insurrectionary movement in
Venezuela.
The minister did inform the state de-
partment of the conditions as he saw
them and of the prospects of the revo-
lutionary movement The Venezuelan
government could not have direct
knowledge of the minister's reports,
but because these were followed by the
appearance of three United States war
ships in Venezuelan waters they came
to the conclusion that the minister had
reported as very mcnacing and serious
a revolutionary movement which the
government organs were trying their
best to minimize.

Therefore these papers lost no oppor-
tunity of attacking Mr.. Loomis in print
and have succeeded in making his lot
unpleasant 1t is only fair to state that
the Venezuelan charge here asserts pos

! by irresponsible newspapers and that
/ the government was not behind them
and deprecated them. If Mr.. Loomis
confirms this view and he cares to re-
turn to Caracas. he will be permitted to
do so.

There is no present intention of send

crnment cannot decide how this mattal

been personally consulted. The squad

gagged in maneuvers, is about to heat
