Southampton, Oct 23-The bishop OF
British Guiana arrived here today on
board the steamer Orinoco from George
town In an interview regarding the ols-
pute between Great Britain and FeneZu-
ella he said there was the strongest feeling
among the colonists that Great Britaln
should maintain the position she nad as
sumed regarding the Schomburgk line.
AS TO the possibility Of intervention on
the part of the United States, the bishop
said that although the colonists DO not
look for United States interference, yet
certain section of them seem TO feel that
the United States has more sympathy Tor
continued the pastor, IL was matter or
congratulation that the Marquis of Sails
bury had demanded reparation Tor the
Uruan affair, which action, IL was thought,
would lead 10 a speedy settlement OF the
whole question. Other British Colonists
who were on board the Orinoco expressed
similar opinions, and added that an in
spector of police, Col. McInness, had gone
10 Uruan in order TO see that place prop
erly protected.

aid from Caracas says: President Crespo
was asked this evening to outline the po-
sition of Venezuela in regard TO the de-
mand of Great Britain that reparation be
made for the arrest Of British subjects
and that a settlement of the boundary be-
tween the countries be arranged. While
the pre- sioent OF the republic ma intained
a certain degree Of diplomatic reserve, IL

government. as well as public opinion.
does not expect any attempt at unjust ag-
gression on the part of England. and con-
fides in the Monroe doctrine. Should, how
ever. such aggression occur. Venezuela
will resist heroically. The Venezuelan
government is still officially uniformed
in regard TO England's ultimatum.
A special to the Herald from Buenos
Ayres says: Rio Janeiro, Brazil, tele-
graphs that IN the event that Brazil
should be compelled TO pay what her gov
eminent regards as outrageous claims
made by European nations. she will re-
taliate. The retaliation will take the form
of an increased rate OF duty upon all
goods entered at the custom house from
the countries which press their claims
