of blacklisted persons TO be placed be-
hind the bars of saloons prohibited from
selling liquor to them. These pictures
have been posted, and the police have

other cities pass a similar law wives
whose lives have been made miserable

Caracas, Venezuls, Aug. 19.-Retal-
istory measures will probably be resort
ed to by the Venezuelan authorities al
result of the invasion of Venezuelan
territory by British force from British
Guiana, and the seizure Of 4, 900 pounds
OF bslats (the gum of the bullet tree,
used for insulating wires, etc. at the
point of guns.
President Castro is understood to have
already made representations to the
English diplomatic representative here.
Unless a diplomatic understanding is
reached shortly, it is feared Castro will
send an expedition to recover the gum by
force or to attack the English residents.
The pretext for the English invasion
was that the gum seized has, been COL
lected In British territory.
Advices from Washington are eagerly
awaited here as there Is the greatest in
tersst to know what view the United
States authorities will take of the invas-
ion. That serious results will follow the
raid is The opinion of the people gen.
orally.
