England Afraid She Would Lose the
Venezuela Case.
A Pretense That International Trib-

Britain and Find Against the
Weight of Evidence.

London, October 22.-The afternoon
papers of this city to-day, again COM
mea. upon the dispute between Great
Britain and Venezuela, and in the same
tone as yesterday.
The ST. James Gazette. for example,
declares itself to be opposed to arbitra-
ton in any form, saying: Arbitration
only does not apply to The present DIS
pU.e; but it IS the usual thing, when
there is recourse to this kind Of inter-
national tribunal, for the arbirators 10
find against England and the weight
Of evidence, and IN the few cases where
he finding has been IN our favor, the
other side declines to pay

tribunals usually find against Eng
land and the weight Of evidence.
More attention is attracted now than
formerly to the utterances of the Ga
zette against arb,trating the dispute,
as this newspaper seems 10 have had
somewhat of the inside track through
out in Venezuelan news here, and it IS,
therefore believed to have been IN
spired by high government official
thoroughly familiar with the subject
and aware of the policy to be followed
by the Marquis of Salisbury.

a charge of stealing a railroad. He

Conrad filed a motion in the United

of refusing to answer questions put 10

pleaded that such an answer would IN

The adjudication of the case is OF great
importance, as it involves the enforce

self-incrimination shall be no excuse
for a witness refusing TO answer IN IN

Un@illing to Listen to the Representations
of Minister Bayard Touching Venezuela.
New York, October 22-The London
correspondent Of the World cables as
follows:
In conversation with an official of
high standing and intimately acquaint-
ed with all the inside facts of the VeneI
zuelan dispute, | learn that the minis
terial contention here is that the pres
ent decisive action of the British was
provoked by the recent dispatch from
the American State Department en-
forcing in strenuous terms the Monroe
doctrine in connection with the ques-
ton. My informant told me that. to
his positive knowledge, at an interval
at which Ambassador Bayard was con-
municating the terms of a dispatch TO
Lord Salisbury, the latter interrupted
him midway with the remark that he
need not proceed further, as the British
government could not even entertain
the arguments put forward, and abso
lutely declined to recognize such an
application OF the Monroe doctrine.
The terms of Lord Salisbury's writ
ten reply were practically the same, and
ineludi-g q complaint in which the
question had been dealt with in the dis
patch of the American government as
increasing the difficulties of the situa-
tiOn. In the same document the State
Department was invited to remember
that England was an American power
before the existence of the United
States, and her rights on the American
continent consequently are anterior TO
those of the United States.
Ambassador Bayard. in further COM
municatiOn to the British foreign office,
pointed out that there is no certainty
that England is right about the Vene-
zuelan frontier, as in the British colon
ial Office list, the authorized publication
of the colonial report, ii is stated that
the boundaries of British Guina have
never been clearly defined in regard to
the parts now IN dispute.
This was an awkward reference for
the British government, but Lord Sal
isbury replied that the colonial Office
list not being an official publication,
the British government could not be re-
sponsible for its statements.
