HAS INVADED VENEZUELA.

Sensational Dispatches Received by the New York World. Caracas, Venezuela, Jan. 9.—News of grave import has been received from the Guayana frontier. The government is notified that troops, with rifles and cannon, from Demerara have arrived at Cuyuni, a station at the extreme limit of the British claims in the disputed territory, and the scene of the Yuruan incident, where British officials were arrested by Venezuelans. The number of the invaders is uncertain. Some of the papers say there are over that is probably an exaggeration. They are possibly a few hundred British Guiana police. The government gives no official notice of what action it will take. It is probable, however, that it will send troops to the scene with orders to be cautious but at the same time to resist invasion. The belief is increasing that the enemies of the government are being aided by British gold. It is even rumored that Great Britain will furnish the rebels with a warship.
