 WASHINGTON. Nov. 4-Sanator Mor- gan O. Alabama, chairman of tue foreign rel .tioIs commitsee, and sn authority on international iaw, ia an interview bere, called attention to Lord SaIisbury's clam tHat Great Britain had acquired rights in the disputed territory adioiH
 jnZ Veuszuela by treaty with the native
 indian tribes. H. sad:
 ''For the last thTee-quarters of cen
 tury Great Britain has tesR !:rming,
 wherever she could, httle by-arrange-
 menta with the Iadian tci5es that had chefta;n1 that were regularly constItut- ed into tribes. It was in that way that she recognized ths Mcsquito king, Clarence. Such treaties with such people are made right in the teeth Of the
 we'll understood and well accepted doc trioe of Great Britain, Germany, France, Spain and all tho American states,
 which IS that when a country has acquir- ed b. conquest O discovery any territory
 the Indian tribes foun.i therein are COZ sidsred as occupants Gt will of >tte sovereiz hn, and not regarded as nations having sovereignty, such sovereignty inuripg to the nations that conquered CT disc .veced the territory. A recognition of sovereignty of such Indian tribes has
 been regarded as a breach of the inter
 national rights of other nations.
 "lfor this reason any claims of Great
 Britain with Vent Zue,a, based upon prI-
 vate treaties with Indian chiefs, are oi
 co avail and should net be recognized
 as being Tn conformity with inte.natIon- al law. I tbink Great Britain Is pre- pared now to adjust the Venezuelan
 boundary quesion CD the lines that were
 surveyed by Schomberg. When that line was established the British cOloniSts
 commenced moving out to 1t and making
 s ttlemauts, ard Larticuiarly taking up | oI. h,,- l.
 ness, has been compelled to stand by and see that course pursued until Great 1 Britain sets up claim similar to that
 of 6 man who hns occu pied for nun . Der years territory belonging to some one else. l would suppose that unless
 Great Britain moves to the north and
 westward of the SchOmberg line it ie hardly probable that the Uni'ed States
 can be involved in the controversy, but
 if sho is ever involved in such contro-
 versy the British government ought to ! be compelled 10 avOw or disavog tbe
 dependence Of various petty charges.
 ''Englaad might go to Alaska and en ter into a treaty with chiefs of Indian
 tribes there with as much reason as she could make treaties with such chiefs To- cated to the south of us."
 The gold fields and the territory a
 the mouth of the Orinoco, wh ch is the , key to the control of the entire central portion of Venezuela, were, Senator
 Morgan said, tie things tEat inspired
 Great Britain'5 course. Ia the inter vIew the senator also urged that I. should be made part Of the foreign
 policy of the United States to secure gn uudeIstaui ding by which we could de .l
 ia diplomatic matters directly wish Ca
 nada and Cuba iusteGi of through GFeat
 Britain and Spain.
 Turning to Cuba, the seDGtur was
 ask d, ''Do you think congress would bs
 favorable to the pnrchGee of Cuba IT such proposition were acceptable to Spaln!'
 II have DO ri4At 10 suppose tnGt con gTess would. l Csn oniy suppose tcai Spain, like every other nation, will IL the end consult the highest interest Oi
 her people and she may iind II to be patriotic duty to free herself from the control O, Cuba, which has moro inHd- suce or politics in Spain today than any local question in the kingdom. l oO uot care anyth ng about the acquisition ot Cuba ss an addition to cur territory. but
 [ should want it foI the military strength it would give us."
 "Is England liable to in nterpose any objection to the United States acquiring | Cuta or take any active part h tee | struggle now going oD in that lsland!' | 'That will depend upon whether sue | thinks she can mske anything by l.. She would not like to do anything thsi | would result in an open rupture with the | Unit-d States. Great Britain Is in nc I position to use ercion or threats in her policy toward the United States. She l has resortei to very q lferent policy of | late years, and she now seeks her ends | by negotiations She has so many pos l sessions near our coast that war would | be great disaster to her, because no ! m8Jter how much our commerce or our cities might be injured by her nGvy. the conclusion of that war would see Cana de and the islands off eur coast in the hands O.. tbe United States"
