day say the relations between Germany and
Venezuela become more strained every day.
The Venezuelan government suspended
traffic on the German railroad because, in
view of the threats of the insurgents, the
company refused to transport troops unless
the government guaranteed it against losses
which might be sustained by the destruction
of its road and equipment. The stations
are occupied by troops. The German lega-
ton at Caracas has entered an energetic
protest against the governments action in
this connection.
The revolution against President Castro is
gaining ground daily. Nearly the whole of
the Republic is in revolt and bands of men
are securing the country. Coro, in the State
of Falcon. and Barquisimeto, in the State
of Lara, particularly. are in the possession
of the revoutionists.
Cable communication between Curana.
Carupana and Barcelona is interrupted and
the government is without news from the

are located), which leads to the belief that
it also has been induced to revolt by Gen.

tonic Fernandez and thirty chiefs of the
state of Carabobo were not willing to en-
gage the government forces before the
revolution was quite ripe.
Venezuela is said to be on the verge of
even more serious complications The
telegraph lines in the interior of the coun-
try have all been cut. The arrival in
Venezuela of Senor Martos, the reputed
head OF the revolutionary movement, with
the steamer Ban Righ loaded with muni-
tions of war, is awaited daily. A decisive
conflict will soon take place.
The Venezuelan government believes that
the Ban Righ is in the vicinity of the
island of Margarita, an island i'm the Carib-
bean sea belonging to Venezuela, where
the Venezuelan fleet has been concentrated.
