VENEZUELA.

1 am happy to announce that the gov
ernment of Venezuela has, upon further
consideration, practically abandoned its
obj ction to pay the United States that
share of its revenue which, some years
since, it allotted toward the extinguish-
ment of claims of foreigners generally.
In thus reconsidering its determination
that government has shown just sense
of selfrespect, which can not fail to re-
fleet credit upon it in the eyes of all dis
interested persons elsewhere. 1t is to be
regretted that its payments on account
of claims of citizens of the United States
are still so meager in amount, and that
the stipulations of the treaty in regard to
the sums to be paid, and the periods
when these payments were to take
place, should have been so signally disre-
garded.

change has been made of the ratification
