The arrest CT several representatives Of the
Madrz faction suspected ofbsying made false
aft iavits to bring about the re leases Of the
steamer Venus which was held at HewOrleans
charged with attempting to violate the nau-
trality laws may be the outcome Of an inyts
tigation undertaken by the State Department
today. IL ia not impossible, also. that the
ship tst II will be placed In the pirate class so
far as the United States is concerned and pre-
vented from conducting further operations
which conflict ia the slightest with United
States authority. Commander Gilmer, in
dispatcheg tc the Navy Department today, re-
ports that Bluehelds is entirely surrounded
by the Madriz forces. In this situation there
is a possibility that the orders Of Commander
Gilmer to pr vent fighting in the city itself
may he violated at any moment at which case
complications would inevitably follow.
