Marconi in Scoti*».
Halifax. N. S.. December 28.—The

Marconi was met by government offi-

that i spot in Cape Breton will be se-

says that the point chosen must bi
from 100 to 200 feet above the sea
!ina. Marconi will rema’n in Cape
Breton a few day? and then proceed to

the inventor the use o' his estate nt •

not probable that be would resume ex- |

Washington, Dec. 28.—The gather-

ity of Venezuela, and the presence in
rhe same locality of many' American.
British. Freiteh and other foreign war-
ships is directing attention to the na-
val demonstration German? is about
to make against Venezuela. It is said
to be probable that the first move by
Germany will be the establishment of
a blockade of Venezuelan ports sn as
to prevent the Introduction of food
products into Venezuela and thus
starve the besieged into submission.
Venezuela, it is said, is entirely
pendent upon the outside world
Its supply of corn, which is a stap.e
among the Venezuelans. The Germans
are expected to occupy one <»r more of
the main ports of Venezuela. Tn this
connection most positive assurances
have been given to the -United States
government that the occupi tion is to
be temporary aud only for such length
of time as-will permit the collection of
the debt due to the Germane, thus dis-
posing of the report that there is any
ulterior purjuise to establish u German
coaling station on Venezuelan soil.
On the part of Venezuela i’ is semi-
officially understood that President
(’astro has made known that he U
prepared for any eventuality. The re-
liance of Venezuela appears to be on
the practical difficulties Germany will
encounter. Venezuela, it 'e asserted,
has no need of outside supplies. More-
over, the natives are said to be meat
eaters almost exclusively and have no
need for corn or outside products.
With reference to German occupation
of one or r ore ports, it is ttought that
