United States auxiliary cruiser Scorpion, Lieu
terant-Commander n. Sargent commanding
has just arrived here on her way to Guanico
Venezuela, the nearest port to the scene or the
trouble between the rival asphalt companies
She recently left La Guayra 0he port Of Cara
cas- and brings the latest news of the Venez-
uelan trouble The situation is described as
being serious 1t is said that the emphatic
protests of the Government at Washington have
been defied and bloodshed at the lake of the
Bermudez Asphalt Company was feared. The
most hotheaded of the foreigners in Venezuela
go so far as to say that if the Washington au-
thorities do not take steps to protect American
citizens now all foreigners may as we'll leave
the country. The officers of the Scorpion are
quoted a saying that the diplomatic corps at
Caracas is unanimous this point as are all
the foreigners. They admit. however. that the
United States Minister at Caracas, Mr. Loomis,
is working vigorously in the efforts to arrange
matters.
The more recent developments in the trouble
in Venezuela were the seizures by the authori-
ties at Ciudad Bolivar tan important CONNER
cial town of Venezuela, and capital of tho State

Orinoco, 313 miles by water from the seal of

New-York The Ornoco Company has a large
fleet of steamers used :or navigating the OrinOco
River. Two of these steamers We're seized by
the Venezuelan authorities during the last revo-
luton. and 1t is said they were ruined.
The concession of the Orinoco Company
recently annuled on the ground that it was IL
legal. and the opinion prevails that it will be
driven from business, and that all the money
invested by the shareholders will be lost unless
the British or American Government intervenes
Mr.. Loomis is using his good offices to save the
two steamers recently seized. The United
States Legation at Caracas. however is over
whemed with work. and the cOmpany's bust
ness has been stopped. 1t is asserted that the
company has unpaid claims against the Govern
ment for 100000.
1t is further asserted that hundreds IF legiti-
mately conducted foreign enterprises have been
ruined in Latin America during the last thirty
years by Iooting officials and revolutions. and
It is alleged that attempt is now being made
