LONDON, Oct, ls.-Ths St, James Ga
zotte this afternoon made some highly
important and sensational statements
regarding Venezuela, which seem to
show that the diIpuie between that
republic and Great Britain has assumed
a very grave aspect, 1t says that since
the RI. Hon, Joseph Chamberlain as
Sumed office as secretary Of state for the
coIonisI, he has paid close personal al
tsnIion to the question Of the rela'
tlons between Great Britain aud Vone'
zusla, and that he has takou the
ipitiatOry in directing in part the
administration oi the Affairs OF the
British colony Of Guiana, adjoining
Venezuela. Mr.. Chamberlain's hand,
it appears, has been felt in tho local
executive council, and the St. James
Gazette adds:
I'VE are now enabled to give the
tenor Of remarkable dispatch in which
10 outlined the imperial policy toward
the colouieL The documents OF much
importance, inaImuch as ii was fol.
lowed by cablsd instructions from Mr.
hamberlain to the governor OF British
Guiana, Sir Charles Cameron Lees,
X. G. NJ. g., to obtain without delay =
vote for the provision OF two maxim
guns, one Of which iI TO be stationed at
Uruan, or elsewhere along the frontier
where the Nenezueians may attempt TO
cross. The mere fact that Mr.. Cham.
berlain clbled Instructions for the de-
ienIe OF the frontier in this manner iS
positive proof that tho imperial govern.
ment will not tolerate repetition OF
tho Uruan incident and that it intends
10 hold the frontier within the Schom'
berGh line, ii necessary.
"ln this dispatch Mr.. Chamberlain
advocates, especially, fostering gold
mining. and urges the cutting Of road
from tho Upper Barlma river to Cuyuni,
pointing out iLS importance from 4
military point OF view, as II would en-.
able the government to keep more
closely in touch with the frontier aud

which served as sort of wick, coiled it
closely, and laid it on the branch beside
him. This was splitting DEVIL" such
as he had often used to make Fourth Of
July fun with. He then made two
more.
With as little noise as possible Bob
crept down to the lowest limb, where he
was directly over the huge mass of fur,
and twisted his legs round the limb 30
as to leave both arms free. Holding the
three devils" in one hand, he took a
match from his pocket and lighted them
rapidly, then dropped the blazing things
one after another, upon the DOING beast
beneath him.
II Bruin noticed them at all he
doubtless supposed some twigs had
fallen upon his back; but before
long their fixing and swapping woke
him up, and the next moment they
began to warm him well, especially
one. which had caught firmly in the ruff
around his neck, and another among the
long hair on his launches. He rolled
over and over. but this only ground the
devils deeper into the fur, while Bimber,
aroused by the rumpus. rushed out to
add his clamor to the commotion. Sud-
denly terrific explosion rent the air,
and nearly knocked Bob off his perch
with surprise. The bear. in houndering
about, had sat down upon the gun, and.
entangling the hammers in his hair, had
discharged it; but as the barrels were
bent, of course the gun had burst.
That was the finishing touch. Singed
stung. and panic-stricken by the powder
on his back and the explosion in his
rear, the grizzly uttered great howl
and galloped away at the top of his
speed Harper's Round Table.
