Situation Is Critical.
I Port of Spain, Trinidad, Jan. 81.
According to a dispatch received today
from Caracas, a trustworthy engineer
who has arrivxil, thuro from Pitch luku
roports that tbo situation is critical.
Ho says that ISO Kngllsh negroes who
wuro employed to do jiolico duty lied
when the Insurgents began firing into
tlio juugleu, only 25 Americans being
left to protect the proporty nnd lives of
American families. The niuuagcr of
the lake implored the United States
legation at Caracas to afford protoo
tion, saying that the lives and proper
ty of Americans wero oxposed to cuor
lilla attacks, firing around tho lake was
going on nightly, and the Americaus
are too low to hold out long. United
States Minister Loomis, uncording to
the same advices, replied that these re
ports woro possibly exnggorntod, but
that thoy could not be ignored, and
that ho would wlro tho facta to Wash
ington. Mr. Oloott, tho Orinooo manager,
has returuod from Caracas, where he
went to try to arrange for tiie relenso
of the steamers and schoouors captured
by tho Venezuelan gunboat near Trini

The couinitttidor of tho Fronch cruisor

TRADE IS SATISFACTORY.
Pacific Coast and the South Show Up But
Slight Diminution of Exports.
TJradstreet's says: Dosplto soma ir
regularities in roports from different
soctions and lndustrlos, trado as n
whole is of satisfactory volumo for
tnis tlrno of year, itelntively the beat
reports come from the Pacific coast,
tho South and tho Southwest, where
tho spring demand is opening well.
Unseasonable woathdr in somo sec
tlons, notably tho Kast, has been a bur
to activity iu retail trndo. Special ac
tivity has been noted in some branches)
of the iron trade and sentiment bus
been, on the wholo, holped by n clearer
view ot the possibilities coutalnod in
tho rocent "war talk." Tho quieting
down of basinoss abroad naturally
points to some diminntion of our ex
port trade, in the crnder forms of iron
nnd steel, capper and lumber, bnt for
finished products of theso und other
staples, tho outlook is declared to bo
still satisfactory. A teaturo In the
export line this weok was the shipment
of 8,000 tons of steel bllleta to Glas
gow from Birmingham, Ala., the
largest shipment of this material ever
sent abroad from the South. Ilevyn
quantities of railway material to ro
place that destroyed in China may ho
placed in this country. Among tha
metals copper is weak nnd fractional
ly lower, in sympathy with a break in
prices abroad, bnt tin is higher, on
news ot excited markets and higher
prices in London.
