pRlTIsH GUIANA.

u D
The undisputed territory of GUIANA
acquired by England in 1903 and formally
coded in 1914, originally comprised three
colonies or districts, containing about T6,'
mn soupre miles, or about the size OF
Nebraska, This territory extended along
the northeastern coast of South America
for some $50 miles aud inland about 800
miles.
Some curiosity of course is now ex-
messed 10. learn something of this section
which is putting the two great nations
into serious controversy. Inc total
population some ten years ago wns ABOUT
oOO. 0OO--only 10000 of whom were Of
European birth. Indians, half-breeds,
negroes and Chinese largely compose the
nonulation. There have been disputes
as to the frontier line for fifty yea
with both Brazil on the south and Nene-
zuela on the west. An old agreement stili
exists between the British and Venezuelan
governments that neither shalt occupy
territory claimed by both. In spite OF
this agreement Venezuela contends that
the British have pushed mp to the south
bank of the Orinoco, northward and n
hundred miles inland TO Uruan
1t was the expulsion of British con
sta bles from this disputed territory around
Uruan that accustomed the acute phase
Of the controversy and gave rise to the
British demand for indemnity. There
are rich gold fields In the disputed tor
ritory that have aroused the cnpidity Of
the British and the control Of the great
Orinoco from commercial and naval
point of view would give England the
mastery of Northern South America. The
territory which England is said thus to
have Judged" from Venezuela is equal
TO the State of Pennsylvania in area.
The United states simply demand that
England shah submit its proofs Of right
to this important territory to arbitration,
as Venezuela claims it is Il species Of
international robbery, II is Il clear viola
ton Of the Monroe doctrine If this arch
land rcbber has "grabbcd' this country
and intends to hold it by force against II
weaker people. Ii is matter OF self
defense, as Dir. Cleveland and Mr.. Olney
both happily put it, for the United States
TO resist the efforts Of great European
power to obtain control of one of the
greatest waterways in the new world
and place the northern part of the South
American continent under contribution 70
it commercially, While Of course erecting
lis mouarchical form of government over
a section before under republican control
This is the natter in a nutshell.
