VENEZUELA AND THE BLOCKADE MILITARY OCCUPATION EXCLUDED. Received August 20, 8.30 a.m. NEW YORK, August 19. America's consent to a Dutch blockade of Venezuela ports is confined to a blockade, and expressly excludes the military occupation of Venezuela. Venezuela has been getting into trouble lately with r.everal Powers. Recently a cablegram stated that Venezuela complained that Holland was not exercising sufficient vigilance over Venezuelan revolutionaries at Willemst.ad, Curacao, and not obtaining a satisfactory reply dismissed the Netherlands Minister, who, however, had mortally offended President Castro by publishing in a Dutch review an article stating that the President's dictatorial regime was leading to the decadence of the Republic. This was followed last week by a cablegram which stated that the Dutch protected cruisers Holland, (3,847 tons,) and Utrecht, (3,969 tons,) were preparing for foreign service, and that the cruiser Gellerland, (3,969 tons), was already cruising in the Caribbean Sea.
