KEEPING TAB ON VENEZUELA
UNITED STATES CONCERNED IN
AFFAIRS THERE.
Believed That Holland Is Acting
With Tacit Consent Of This
Government.

The existence of what amounts prac
tically to a state Of war between Holland
and Venezuela, the absence for the first
time in many years in an acute crisis o.
this kind Of American warships from
their proper sphere of influence and the
profession by the State Department Of
ficials of their ignorance of the inten-
tons Of Holland constitute a most curious
and interesting international situation.
The fact that America. has quarrel of
her own with Venezuela and has ter
minated diplomatic relations with that
country gives rise to doubt as to the &C
curacy of the statement that this govern
ment is not interested in what is going
on off the coast of Venezuela Indeed
there is reason to believe that while the
official records may fail to show the ex-
istence of any formal agreement between
America and the Netherlands. the gov
eminent of the latter country is proceed
ing. with the tacit consent Of America, to
bring to an end the chaotic conditions
that have prevailed in an international
sense in Venezuela for the past two years.
So long as the Dutch ships act strictly
as construed in the annual message to
Congress of President Roosevelt last
year; so long as no attempt is made to

morning towing as prize the Venezuelan
coast guard vessel. '23 de Mayo
Word of the capture had already been
received here, and a great throng of peo-
pie lined the quays to witness the en-
trance of the Dutch battleship conducting
her capture within the harbor. The flag
of the Netherlands had been foisted to
the peak of the captured Venezuelan ship,
and astern of the Dutch flag hoated the
Venezuelan colors. Although the Vene-

minor contrast to the Dutch pennant ny

the warship and its prize.
The capture of the ''23 de Mayo was
effected on December Ii at a point a

The ''23 de Mayo was formerly an

She belonged to Mr.. Smith, who was
at one time American consul here. She
was captured by Venezuela In 1897 while
in distress off Maracaibo on the ground
that she was engaged in running contra

Mr.. Smith made claim against the
Venezuelan government for the vessel,
and his demand was reduced in 1903 to

adjudicated various matters Of this kind.

yesterday for the Venezuelan coast. She
