Port of Spain, Trinidad, Jan. 29.-Ac-
cording to advices received today,
from Caracas, a TRUST worthy engineer,
who has arrived there from Pitch lake,

trous. He says that $50 English ne
groes who were employed to do police
duty. fled when the insurgents began
firing into the jungles, only - Ameri-
cans being left TO protect the property
and lives of American families. Thu
messenger from the lake implored the
United States legation at Caracas to
afford protection, saying that the lives
and property Of Americans were ex-
posed to guerilla attacks, firing around
the lake going on nightly and the
Americans being too few to hold out
long.
United States Minister LOOMS. ac-
cording to the same advices, replied
that these reports We're possibly exag-
Grated, but that they could not be
ignored and that he would wire the
fncts TO Washington.
