London, Dec. 20.—Tho olllclal procla mation of the blockade of Venezuelan Ports was gazetted this nlbrnlng, and becomes effective today. The text of the proclamation Is os follows: -j " Foreign Office, Dec. 20, 1002: *It is hereby notified that its tho United States of Venezuela have failed to comply with the demands of his maj esty’s government, a blockade by his majesty’s naval forces of the ports of LaGuayra, Cairenoyo Gaentz and Caru- pano and the mouths of the Orinoco is declared and such a blockade will bo effectively maintained from and af ter Dec. 20, subject to the allowance Df the following days of grace: "For vessels sailing before the date of this notification from West Indian ports nnd ports on the east coast of the continent of America. 10 days f.r steamers and 20 Cijc far sailing ves sels. 'From all other ports 20 days for steamers and 40 days for sailing ves sels. 'For vessels lying In the ports now declared to be blockaded, 15 days. “Vessels which attempt the block ade will render themselves liable to all measures authorized by tho law of nations and by the respective treat ies between his majesty and the dlf- ferent neutral powers.” New York. Dec. 19.—Convinced tliai something must be done to end the coal famine, Mayor Low has Bent let tors to officials of tho different coal carrying roads asking for facts con cernlng the situation. The mayoi refused to enter Into details, but was hopeful something- beneficial to the public wouldi result from his action. “I have written to the railroads in an unofficial capacity?' said Mr. Low. “I have been quietly investigating the etato of affairs for some time, and I thought It advisable to write to cer tain persons for a few facts. In a few days I shall know more about tho true condition of the coal supply In all parts of the city." Itjs likely the mayor will head a movement to supply tho city with coal, If he finally decides the condition is serious enough to warrant official in terference. Ho had a conference on the question with borough president Cantor, who said that there was a strong'llkelihood of action being tak en In a few days.
