THE VENEZUELA CLAIMS.
Judgment In Favor of United States Citi
 gems For 0143,6OO.

Eens For 8l4J,oOOs
 WASHINGTON March 27-After months of deliberation the Venezuela claims com mission concluded its lRbors and announo~ ed its decision, being Q judgment in favor of citizens of the United States for s149, 500, about one-third of the amount of the claims. Of tho total award the Venezu- elan Steam Transportation company of New York receives tl41. 600 in American gold, with interest, and Captain Abraham c. Post, Jacob J. Msurinus and Davis J. Sturges receive each $500, with interest Tho claim of Cornelius J. Brinkerhof, master of the San Fernando, was tho only one disallowed
 These claims date back to 1871. whom in the course of a revolution in Venezuela three of tho vessels of the American cor poration were seized by the Venszuelans on either side in the controversy and much damaged by being used in war. The ships were finally recovered-one through the good office of the commander of a British warship and tho other two by the com. mnnder of the United States ship Shaw nut.
 The principle involved in the judgment rendered is of great importance to th' countries of Central and South America which arc subject to revolutions, for fl amounts to a declaration that such coun tries are responsible for the acts of insur gents against the rights and properties O foreigners, even If theso acts arc beyond their control.

spaIn's New Minister Will Re We'll Rece
 ed In Washington,


 WASHINGTON. March 27.-That no ob- jection to Senor dc Lome would be raised by the state department was practically assured before Secretary Gresham visited President Cleveland and secured his as surance that all was satisfactory. It is not always necessary for foreign govern ment to inquire as to tho acceptability of a person appointed as minister to this country, although there is generally an informal inquiry as to whether thoro Is any objection to his selection. Probably in tho case of the new Spanish minister :he :33N'ry will be moro formal and tho ncceptability of the new minister assured owing to the recent peculiar turn in the diplomatic relations between Spain and the United States. State department off cials speak in the highest terms of SenOr do Lome.
 A rumor which gained little Crcdcnco was circulated that Minister Murl;y .-p on leaving Washington will not be perl:,ittcd to pay his farewell respects at the state dc- partmcnt. IL is not believed that such a breach of diplomatic etiquette would be tolerated either by the president or Sccre- tary Gresham.
 The return of Enrique Dupuy dc Lome as sipain's representative will be welcomed in Washington, where he has numerous friends and where he has always proved extremely popular. Society circles will also feel an especial qualification in the fact, as tho presence of SenOr dc Lomo means as well that of his wife, who is one of tho handsomest and most charming women ever at the national capital
