WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-Senor An
drade, the Venezuelan minister to the
United States, has received a cable
gram from Caracas from his govern
ment. entirely disavowing a publica-
ton in the London Times, giving
what purported to be an interview
with President Crespo.
No such statements, it was said, have
been made by the government. The
article quoted President Crespo as eX-
pressing a willingness to make repair
alton to Great Britain for the Uruan
incident. which Lord Salisbury is en-
deavoring to separate from the long
pending boundary dispute.
The position of the Venezuelan gov
eminent is. as has been frequently
stated in the Associated Press dis
patches. that the Uruan incident and
the boundary dispute are inseparable,
the liabilities of the government for
the Uruan affair being dependent on
whether or not it occurred on Vene-
zuelan or British soil.
Published statements that Senior
Martinez is in London on a. secret
mission to the British government
from the government of Venezuela.
are also denied again.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Chaiman

constitution and certificate of returns,
and it was agreed that Governor West
is to see President Cleveland as soon
as he returns, and obtain an audience
as soon as possible.
Then Letcher, Sherman, West, Can

other Utonians may be here, with Sem
ator Faulkner and congressman Wash
1nSton and Wheeler, chairmen of the
territories committees of the house and
senate during the time when the state
hood bill was pending, will call and
present the president with the docu-

Governor West will probably make a
short and timely speech.
For men whose terms of Office will be
ended by the proclamation, Letcher,
Sherman and West are showing most
commendable energy. They are pre-
pairing for every possible pull to have
the proclamation issued at once. They
will endeavor to secure some hint of
the time when this will be done, in
order to give notice so that arrange
ments may be made without friction.
Letcher, in an interview tonight,
says: THE Democrats of Utah do not
want statehood deferred. a large ma

tuition were cast by Republicans"
He also endorses the action taken by
the Democrats in the last campaign.

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
VIII Assemble in Washington on
January rs, Next.

January 16, Next.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.-W. F. Har
rity, chairman of the Democratic com.
mittee this afternoon requested the Sec
rotary of the committee to notify the
members thereof to assemble in Wash
ington on January 16 next, for the pur-
pose of selecting the time and place for
holding the next Democratic national
convention.
Chairman Harrity has received letters
from commercial bodies in fifty cities
urging the national committee to select
a late date for the convention. Business
people contend that a long campaign
unsettles trade, and they therefore want
the political battle made as short as
possible. II is believed that a date not
later than the middle of July will be Sc
lected.
The committee is to meet at the Airing
