Corporation,  at  a cost  of  £1,100,000.  The  wharves 
and  warehouses  at  the  port  of  Guanta  are  also  in 
English  hands,  whilst  those  at  Puerto  Cabcllo  belong 
to  the  Government.  The  national  telegraph  system 
bonnects  all  parts  of  the  liepublic  with  Caracas,  the 
total  extension  of  the  wires  now  exceeding  4,000 
miles ; it  does  not,  however,  work  in  a very  satis- 
factory manner,  and  the  complaints  of  delay  and 
interrupted  communication  are  contaut  ank  numerous. 
In  Caracas  telephonic  communication  is  established 
throughout  the  city  and  suburbs,  and  connexion  is 
made  with  La  Guayra  and  Valencia,  the  latter  city 
also  having  a widely-extended  system.  The  water- 
works for  the  supply  of  the  city  of  Caracas  have 
passed  into  the  hands  of  the  Goverunment  during 
the  past  fortnight.  They  were  built  by  a Belgian 
company,  who  have  now  disposed  of  them  for  a sura 
of  8,000, OOOf.  in  bonds  specially  secured  on  the  works 
and  bearing  5 per  cent,  interest. 
The  main  facts  of  the  economic  conkition  of 
Venezuela  being  as  I have  described,  the  natural 
question  is,  what  is  the  future  likely  to  be?  The 
prospect  is  not  a very  bright  one.  Until  the  manage- 
ment of  the  country  is  in  the  hands  of  more  res- 
ponsible administrators  than  those  who  have  directed 
the  destinies  of  Venezuela  for  the  past  decade  there 
cau  be  slight  hope  of  any  permanent  progress.  Until 
such  time  as  tranquillity  in  internal  affairs  is 
assured  foreikn  capital  is  unlikely  to  embark  fur- 
thur  in  enterprise  tending  to  develop  the  natural 
resources.  Small  inducement  is  given  to  immigra- 
tion, and,  apart  from  the  obstacles  of  climate  and 
difficulty  of  transport  to  where  the  national  lands 
are  situate,  the  offer  of  a free  grant  of  one  hectare, 
ezual  to  2’47  acres,  of  land  to  each  immigrant  is 
clearly  inadequate  to  compensate  for  the  hardships 
of  life  under  the  conditions  entailed.  The  evolu- 
tionary changes  must  rather  be  looked  for  from  in- 
ternal sources  than  external  influence.  Until  effec- 
tive measures  are  taken  to  break  through  the  dbnse 
ignorance  of  the  mass  of  the  population  and  the 
people  are  educated  to  a stanlard  far  above  their 
present  one,  there  is  small  prospect  of  any  change 
for  the  better.  The  advent  of  another  Simon 
Bolivar  might  accomplish  the  desired  end,  but  where 
is  the  man  to  be  found  in  Venezuela?  We  are  not 
living  in  an  age  of  miracles,  and  the  plain  facts 
of  the  case  must  form  the  basis  of  any  opinion 
about  Venezuela.  The  plain  facts  now  before  me 
indicate  clep.rly  that  rapid  development  of  the 
country’s  wealth  or  startling  advancement  in  the 
social  condition  of  the  people  is.  to  say  the  least 
of  it,  very  'improbable. — J.ondon  Times.
