The Venezuelan note, after making
reference to the communication of

against Reuss, did not contemplate the
loosening of the ties of friendship be.
tween the Netherlands and Venezuela,
which friendship Venezuela desired
cordially to maintain.
Venezuela was convinced that when
the Netherlands learned Of the pro.
ceedings of Reus it would give volun-
tary satisfaction to Venezuela: Venez

the minister would be approved by the
Continuing the note says since this
time, however, other inc,Icnts have
