ago with a hard of about 1000 frog, and
is already making lots of money. He
supplies the markets of San Francisco,
Oakland and other large cities on the

the frogs, and the rancher is not anxious
to trade his ranch even for o gold mine,

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, May H.
Unexpected orders have been received
from Washington by the revenue cut
ter Grant to prepare Immediately for
sea- Some days ago the department
ordered the cutter laid up for 80 days
to effect necessary repairs. The work
had been fairly commenced when
orders came to suspend operations and
prepare for a cruise to the North Paci-
fc ocean. This movement is thought to
have been actuated by the refusal OF
the British authorities to renew Behring
sea regulations and the desire Of the
United States government to communi.
cate with it's cutters now patrolling the
sea. Under the present complicated
arrangements should other cutters seize
British sealers on the high sea for vic.
lation of the sealing regulations, serious
complications might arise between the
two governments. As soon as the
Grant is ready for sea, she will leave
for the North in command Of Com
mander Hooper Of the steamer Rush
to whom dispatches from the depart
ment We're delivered.

AN OLD ENCLISHM MAP
Document Which Is Likely tC
Figure in the Venezuelan
Claims.
TEN THOUSAND SQUARE MILES
Under Dispute Was Once For
mally Acknowledged to Be
.VeneZuela'S.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-According tc
advices received here, British docu.
ments have been found at Hawaii, as tc
the pending British Venezuela bound
airy question, in which the United
States has urged arbitration as q means
of settlement. Assistant Surveyor
General Lyons Of Hawaii has examined
them and has made q map, accom-.
panied by q statement, which it is said
supports the contention Of Venezuela
even on the evidence of the British.
Senior Andrade, the Venezuelan minis.
ter here, says it is the first time that
the documents sent out by the British
foreign office have been made available
in the controversy. >
Furnished Long Ago.
The records now brought to public at.
tention by Mr.. Lyons Were furnished
to Hawaii by the British foreign office
at a time when Hawaii was a monarchy
and largely under British control.
They are now on file at the surveyors
Office at Honolulu, where Mr.. Lyons,
as assistant surveyor general, has had
access to them. He was led to the in
vestigation by the publication last
month of an official British map of the
Guiana territory. On comparing this
with the map furnished by the foreign
office, 20 years ago, he found that the
boundary line had been entirely
changed. The first map gave the line
as Venezuela claims it should be-. The
last map shifts the line far westward,
and includes as British territory about
10, 900 square miles, which the first
ma showed to be
Clearly Venezuelan Territory.
This intervening $1,000 square miles
is the subject of contention. The old
map was made by the Royal Geograph-
ical society of England, and was there
after given official approval and sent
out by the foreign Office. It is there
fore considered of scientific as we'll as
official value. MI. Lyons in the ourse
of his statement, which is signed, says:
The area thus taken in, as shown on
these maps themselves, is 10000 square
miles Or more, larger than the area OF
either Massachusetts or Vermont.
What the Venezuelans claim we have
not the means of knowing, but it is
very natural that they should claim at
least that British Guiana should ad.
