Count Quadt. The latter returned un-
expectedly frora New York last night.
He had been awaiting the arrival from
Europe of his family- Ro it is a fair
supposition that his sudden return to
Washington without meeting them
was brought about by the untoward
turn in Venezuelan affalra. Count
Quadt also had a long conference at
the British embassy with Sir Michael
Herbert, and he also paid a call at
the Italian embassy, where the ambas-
sador,, who is suffering from a slight
indisposition, was unable to see him.
It was stated that nothing in the na-
