washington, Nov. 16.-Information
reaching here today from Demerera,
British Guiana, is to the effect that fur
Their dispatches of very pointed char
acter have been received from Joseph
Chamberlain, British minister for the
colonies, concerning Venezuela. Their
contents were not disclosed. A meet
ing of the high council of the colonies
was called, at which it was believed the
subject would be fully discussed. The
report in circulation at Demerera and
generally credited is that the minister.
Chamberlain, has forwarded dispatches
to the British Guiana government, in
which he inquired whether or not In the
event of measures between that colony
and Venezuela being pushed to ex-
tremes, the colonial government was
prepared to do it's utmost in the en-
deavor to sustain the prestige of the
British flag, to which 1t owes its al
iegience. Commenting on these dis
patches, the press of Demerera says
| there need be no hesitation In giving an
| affirmative answer to the minister.
Why such inquiry should come from
London excites conjecture and the feel
| ing is that 1t may be due TO irritation
| because the high council voted down
| Mr. Chamberlain's proposition to buy
| Maxim guns, ammunition, etc. In that
event the next meeting of the high
council is expected to show its purpose
| to support Chamberlain.
