BUSTLE ON THE U. S. S. CONCORD.
She Will Sail for Venezuela Early To-morrow Morning.
The United States cruiser Concord presents a scene of activity to-day as she lies at the coal dock in the Brooklyn Navy-Yard, taking aboard coal. Her decks are black and grimy and her crew no less so. About three hundred tons of fuel will be stowed away before the bustle is ended.
Commander Edwin White said to an Evening World reporter that the ship would get under way for La Guayra, Venezuela, early to-morrow morning. She would sail this evening if it were possible to get her coal and stores aboard in time.
While the commander was speaking an orderly entered with a message from the Commandant of the Yard to have all stores aboard by night.
The Concord and the Kearsarge, which is now at Port-au-Prince, will go to Venezuela to emphasize the demand of the United States Government for reparation for the insult to our flag in forcibly removing refugees from the American steamer Caracas, and the return of those refugees for safe transit to the United States.
