THE VENEZUELA RE VOLT.

American Mistrust of Germany. Telegraph Press Association Copyright London, January 6. The German cruiser Superber has started from Kiel for Venezuela. The authorities at Berlin favour dilatory negotiations with Venezuela, but the Americans desire to arrive at an agreement as regards arbitration, with a view of ending the blockade. The views of the two Cabinets diverge more widely daily. The American newspapers, commenting on recent attacks on the Monroe doctrine, declare that some of the German animosity for England has been transferred to America. New York, January 6. The captures made at Puerto Cabello included fifteen sailing vessels. Fifteen hundred Revolutionists marching on Caracas have been defeated. Mr John Hay champions the claims for damages of the American steamer Caracas which, while she was permitted to enter La Guayra, was compelled to withdraw each night. The ground of the claim is that the allies were interfering with the discbarge of her cargo. The Caracas left for New York on 18th December. She was entitled to ten days' grace under the laws regulating the blockade, notwithstanding which she was compelled to discharge the Bulk of her cargo at Willemstad.
