Washington (Special). —The latest de- |
velopment in the Venczuelan-Colom-
bian situation, viz., the withdrawal of
the exequaturs of all the Colombian
consuls mm Venezuela, has increased the
feeling of officials here that the relation
between the two countries are still of a
very serious character. In diplomatic
circles especially the condition existing
between these two tepublics is viewed
with alarm. though their representatives
here are without any recent information
that will throw light on the situation.
The withdrawal of the exequaturs of
consuls is a decided demonstration ot un
friendliness the country they repre
sent, and leaves them powerless to trans
act any business. Such

translated into Spanish, which had been |
resented at the Pavret Theatre by a |
