Charge d'Affaires at Washing
ton Is Ordered to Quit Post
and Return Home.
NO DANGER OF WAR RESULTING
Rupture Results From Persistent Re.
susal of Venezuela to Settle
Claims of Americans.

Washington, July II. = The dip]o-
matte relations between America and
Venezuela that have existed uninter-
ruptedly for more than half cen
fury, though in recent years severely
strained, were yesterday completely
severed. AT half past o'clock yes
terday afternoon Senior Veloz Goiti-
Goa, the Venezuelan charge d'affaires,
called at the state department by ap-
pointment to present to Acting Sec
rotary Bacon notice from his govern
ment that he was to quit his post
here, closing up the Venezuelan lega-
tion in Washington, and repair forth
with to Venezuela. The charge exc
cuted his commission punctiliously.
Explains to Bacon.
In a few minutes talk he explained
to the acting secretary that the action
of the state department in withdraw
charge, from Caracas and closing UP
his legation there, made it necessary
for his government to take similar &C
ton in the case OF its own legation at
| Washington. Therefore he was leav-
ing the capital at the earliest moment
that he could arrange his domestic af-
fairs to do so, which will be to-day
and will proceed directly to New
York, there to take passage for Vene-
zuela on Sunday
Ve!oz Well Liked.
Taking leave of Acting Secretary
Bacon and accepting the suggestion
that he communicate in writing to
Secretary Root the direction of his
government in this matter, Senior
Veloz paid hasty calls upon Assistant
Secretaries Adee and Huntington Will
son and other officials Of the state de-
partment, whom he has long and init
matcly known OF course, officially,
there was nothing for these gentle
men to say beyond mere formalities
when made acquainted with the fact
that the Venezuelan charge had been
withdrawn. But personally they did
not hesitate to express their sincere
regret, for Senior Veloz has come to
be very highly regarded in the dipio-
matte circle.
No Danger of War.
NOW, as to the future, 1t is pointed
out by officials who have followed
closely the developments in the Vene-
zuelan situation, that there is not the
slightest danger of war in the imme-
date future, or, indeed, at all
Mr.. Veloz-Goiticoa's withdrawal fol-
lows that of Minister Russell as dip1o-
matte representative of the United
States to Venezuela, about two
months ago, and that of Mr.. Sleeper,
the secretary Of the legation, ana
Lieut. Ruggles, the military attache,
about two weeks since. The reason
for the withdrawal Of the American le-
cation from Caracas arose from the
persistent refusal of Venezuela to
give redress for the governmental ac-
ton by which ali American interests
in Venezuela were either destroyed or
confiscated, or to submit the claims OF
American citizens to arbitration
