GERMANS PROTECT INTERESTS
United states FoIiows salt snd WIN
Land naval Force az
Porto cabeuo.

WARRINGTON Aug. n-The United
States minister ~ Caracas today advised
the state department that the m in
tended 70 land a naval force az Porto Ca
bello to protect German interests, which
are threatened BY the uprising now in
progress.
The minister advised that we follow suit.
After a conference between the ~ofHcials of
the Navy department Instructions were
cabled to Commander Nichols Of Topeka to
proceed fromtLaguaira to Porto Cabello and
to land a naval force in case of attack.
Topeka has already left for Porto Cabelfo.
Topeka win probably reach Porto Ca
oelio, which Is only a short sail from La
Guayra, some time today. The trouble at
Porto Cabello grows out OF the uprising
which has convulsed Venezuela for some
time. II is directed against President
Castro and has kept the country IN a-s,ate
Of ferment for many months.
Minister Bowen recently sent word that
President Castro was leaving for the front.
with the expectation OF lighting a decisive
battle with the insurgents. The latter
have been gathering strength at Porto
Cabello. Our consul at that point sent
word recently that the lives Of some OF the
American residents, including members OF
bis family. were imperiled, and two Of the
ladies Of the c~onsul's family were taken
away In a government ship. Since then
there has been no word OF = critical con.
dillon OF affairs, but the advices Of today
indicate that a crisis has been reached.
There appears to be no question as to the
right Of che. German naval forces to land
for the protection Of German interests. II
In no way involves the Monroe doctrine.
Germany has been keeping close watch on
Venezuela for some months and at one time
contemplated taking q Venezuelan port in
order to compel the payment Of certain
German claims. II was In that connection
that the German ambassador at Washing
ton, Or. Won Holleben. made inquiry OF
Roosevelt and the State depart
ment as TO whether such a move by Ger
many, for the sole purpose Of collecting a
claim and not for the purpose of territorial
expansion, would meet-rwith any disfavor
by the American government.
The response Of the United States left
Germany free to act, as the assurance that
no territorial extension was Intended re-
moved the case from the operation OF the
Monroe doctrine. The present landing Of
forces has no connection with GER
many's former move against Venezuela, al
though the assurances heretofore given by
Germany serve in the present Ease to show
there Is no Interior purpose behind the
protection of German interests at Porto
