The Allies now propose to reduce a fort at Han Carlos lu the Gulf 'of Maraeaibo. They have all along was being maintained. Our secretary Hay notified them that the United States could recogulza no "peaceful blockade," aod he might have added that a paper blockade Jwill not keep our ships out of Venezuelan ports, In 18C8 5 we learned that a blockade must be actual.

The good of the state would have been conserved, but the legislature adjourned without an election. List spring the mer chant prince was a inwiible candidate for the samo office but when the county delegation was not positive for him the purpoee pumod to a misty dream.

His place Will not lie esslly filled. Now since the parti did not to bled its representatives can it be reasonably expected that thm-e reprt setitatives will alldw themselves to be instructed by private individuals.
