extraordinary energy. He has trans

men, whom he has Well armed, equipped
and transported from every direction to

expectation that the allies would at

points.
But there has been a change of feeling,
and the prominent men of Venezuela,
who were at one time ready to lead the
people in the defence of their country,
now consider that justification to take
the men of the Republic away from their

They have resolved to discover a means

treat with the allies. The means sought
is thought to lie through the United

are on every hand expected to follow.
