in the printing Of the new bonds, that Of
numbering them, was begun to-day at
the bureau OF engraving and printing,
and the first batch VIII be ready for de-
livery to the treasury tomorrow or Thurs

States but not beyond the limits OF the
United States. So far the syndicate has
not indicated when they desire the bonds
delivered or where, and they viii be re-
tanned in the treasury until such instruc-
tions are received. Whenever the syndl-
cate Indicate their desire, accompanying
their instructions with the certificates Of
the gold they have deposited bonds
registered or dpupon-and OF the denomi-
nation asked feft~vtll be forwarded where
they desire. New York VIII probably re-
ceive the first batch of the new bonds

treasury win be asked to deliver the
European allotment of the new bonds
transmitting the bonds direct from Wash
ingtOn to London, the syndicate paying
the expense of the ocean transit.
The treasury gold reserve has reached
S76,lT313 by reason Of the gold received
from the recent bond sale being taken up
in the treasury cash accounts. The reserve
is thus S35, 900 greater to-day than it
was on Feb. Y, on which date it reached
the lowest point since specie payments
were resumed in 1873.
So far the treasury has received from
the Belmont Morgan syndicate S36 90S, l24
in gold and issued to il
certificates to the amount OF S35.3l9 19l.

THE VENEZUELA INCIDENT.
Secretary Olney Has Penned a Note
to Great Britain on the
Subject.
UNCLE SAM STANDS BY MONR0EDOCTRINE
The Secretary's Language Very Plain
Somebody Must Yield or Fight
Action that Will Meet the Ap-
proval of Americans.

New York, Oct. Ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: The great
international question of the hour ls the
Venezuelan dispute.
Secretary Olney has prepared dis
patch to Ambassador Bayard, which will
soon bring the matter to an issue. The
dispatch is of the most positive and un-
equivocal nature. As soon as it shall be
placed before the British government, it
will raise an issue which can be settled
only by the retreat of one OF, the other
government.
The stand taken by the United States
in this dispatch is one which involves the
oldest and most sacred traditions of the
government, the enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine.
Secretary Olney's dispatch is in sub.
stance declaration in the most positive
language that the United States will never
consent to British occupation of the dis
puted territory in Venezuela, unless that
nations right thereto is determined by
arbitration.
In polite, but firm and significant words,
Secretary Olney declares it to be the belief
of the United States government that the
territorial claims Great Britain has set up
in Venezuela are in the nature of an at
tempt to seize territory on the American
continent to which she has no legal right.
