[Telegram.]

Legation of the United States,
Caracas, September 27, 1892. (Received September 28.)

Venezuelan Government requests me to ask whether, in case Portland cleared for Trinidad, but proceeded to Puerto Cabello direct, our naval forces can interfere, as desired, in support of court’s decision and strict neutrality.

Scruggs.
