STATUS OF THE CARACAS.
Nothing Further Has Been Heard fror
Commander Dieh.

Nothing Further Has Been Heard from
Commander Diehl.
Washington, December 24.--The navy de.
partment up to noon has received no word
FROM Commander Diehl of the Marietta
concerning his reported protest against the
action Of the blockadinG squadron at Cara
cas- in refusing to allow the Rcd p liner
Caracas TO remain in the harbor yesterday
long enough TO discharge her cargo. No
request for instructions has come from him.
The officials OF the department have en-
tire confidence In Commander Dlehl's abili-
ty TO handle the situation, and unless they
hear something from him In the shape OF
a protest against the action OF the allies
they will make no move. As rule, II is
agreed that blockading fleet eau do pretty
much as II likes 1t is intimated, as pos
sIblc reason for the position taken by the
allies in declining TO allow the Caracas
to remain in the harbor at night, that In
the dark it would be difficult to exercise
surveillance Of what was being taken out
Of her hold. For the same reason tho allies
pay have decided that sho should not re-
turn to the hnrbor today, but should take
on her passengers outside.
