day by the report which stated that
Venezuela had declared war against
Holland.
These reports had their foundation
in the dispatch which came to the
state department by way of Bogota,
transmitting a telegram from Caracas
saying that the government had made
such a declaration. 1t is also pointed
out, however that the announcement
was based on Vice President Gomez
declaration that the country is in
state of defense because Holland had
seized the coastguard ship Alexis.

While it is premature to speculate,
should the feeling against the presi-
dent develop to the extent of an open
revolution the state department, II is
understood, would lose no time in re-
suming diplomatic intercourse with the

some action might be taken on the
unsettled claims against Venezuela
and the resumption of friendly rela-
tions.
