dispatch received by the State Department TINS
afternoon said that he had been informed by
President Castro that British and German
warships were bombarding Porto Cabello.
In an earlier dispatch he said that the situa-
tion at Caracas was much quieter- Inc great
excitement noted at the outset of the affair." he
said, was caused by the precipitate night OF lie
British and German ministers. the arrest of all
the subjects of those two nations, ana the sel%-
ure of the Venezuelan gunboats without first
declaring blockade, thus causing the people to
fear bombardment would follow at once
Secretary Hay took the dispatches to the
White House and discussed the situation in

but he had nothing to make public on the SUD-
ject Nothing done at the state Depart-
ment except to make some representations to the
German and English governments in the matter
of the blockade.
Our ambassadors at Berlin and London have
been instructed to represent to England ana
Germanv that the United States must not be
understood as giving its consent to any extension
of the international right of peaceful blockade
T. is not known that this instruction was called
forth by an Incident making such representation
necessary The step was taken a precau-
tionary measure, and gives the attitude of this
government should development arise making
its position of Importance. The greatest rear Is
that the Venezuelans who are naturally OF an
impetuous nature will retaliate for the bonn
hardnent by assault the foreign residents.

The outdoor laborer, the indoor

Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to

Yours very truly, w. NJ. Lord.
IL will be noticed that the Gov

20 use Pe-ru-na for other ailments.
The reason for this is, most other
ailments begin with a cold. Using
Pe-ru-na TO promptly cure colds. he
protects bis family against other

other family in the United States
should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the
