It is Possible.
The President of Venezuela is stated to be a pure despot and" nothing else. A correspondent of an English paper throws a side light on the present difficulty between Great Britain and that Republic which may account for a great deal, if not the whole, of the trouble. He says the President's position has its compensations. A President who knows how to set to work can make a fine fortune. President Crespo does not appear deficient in this kind of knowledge. He is a large stock-holder in the chief concerns of the country, including the bull-ring. If it could be learned to what extent he was to. " stand in " with the American concessionaries to whom he " gave " huge slices of British territory, an instructive light would probably be t thrown upon recent diplomatic history.
