London, Oct. 16.-The foreign Of
ticials yesterday were questioned us
to the truth Of the report published IN
! the United States that an armed Brit
ish force is marching through Brazil
ian territory and its objective port s
that part of Venezuela which Is
claimed by the British government.
They said there was no truth in the
story; there is no British force there
and there would be no object in
marching through that part of Bra
I'll even if a British force had been
available for the purpose outlined.
Washington, ID, c., Oct. 16.-The
report that British soldiers had been
landed in Brazil, and We're proceeding
to the disputed British Venezuela ter
ritory, is discredited by Sir Julian
Palnccfote, the British ambassador;
by Signor Mendonca, the Brazilian
minister, and b. S1nor AndrIde, the
Venezuelan minister, the representa-
! tives OF the three countries concerned.
! 1t is agreed by these officials that
move of such Importance would be
HuNhlN mere, anu III
the absence of any such reports no
credit is attached to it.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, accompanied
by the earl of WeStmeath, arrived
here yesterday after an extended
tour through Canada. lie was seen
shortly after his arrival and asked
concerning the reported landing of
British troops IN Brazil, en- route to
NencZUclH. He attached no import
ance to the report and said he re
garlrd it rs ar1thcr canIrd. as to the
seriousness of South American com
| plicationS, the ambassador hld re-
ccived no adviccS on the subject 1t
WAS clear to him. however. that no
such move world he made.
Sir Julien will give his first at'ten-
tiun to the coming convention to as
Scmhlc here to reach an Il agreement
as to the amount Of damages to he
awarded ITO the Canadian SealerS
| whose vessels We're seized in Behring
sea prior to the Paris award. He will
call ON Secretary Omey today or to-
morrow and arrange thc day when
the convention is To assemble. In the
meantime The personnel of the con,
vvnti"n will not be announced.
The status Of the much-dchat ted
Venezuela and Nicaragua questions
remains unchanged 50 far as The
British officials are Informed.
Minister .\ndlldo of Venezuela said
THAT the report of forces landing in
Brazil was Self-eviduntly false. as it
was out of the question for troops
TO march the great distance from the
BRAZILIAN rHlSt to NcnrZurla If amy
such landing waS attempted ii could
be made more easily i'm Brit ssh Gui-
ANA, which is SITUATED much nearer
the disputed terldtoTy. The minister
has received no word from his gov
crnmcnt. indicating that there is no
amrm in Venezuela
Minister Mendnuca of Brazil said
that the report that British soldiers
We're crossing Brazil waS manifeStly
vague, inaSmurh as Brazil was about
the size of the United States and it
WAS like a report that troops were

SlJVlTTOy ARMY WORK.

A meeting Of the auxiliary leagues or the SalVa-
Aion Army was held last night in the headquarters
at Forty-seventh-st. and Broadway. Officers rep
resenting every branch Of the Army were present
q nd occupied seats on the platform. Mrs. Balling
ton Booth was the principal speaker OF the even
ing Major Marshall of the Sewing Battalion and
Adfutant Marshall also spoke. Mrs. Booth gave
mos, of her time to explaining the work she had
laid out for the auxiliary leagues, and also in
what way they could best aid the Army. She said
that the most successful work done by the Army
was In the open air, and that the Methodists
fourished most when they held out-of-door meet
ings. She believed tina. the most far-reacAing re-
suits would come from the street meetings, and
that while meeting rooms were indispensable for
the Army. yet their main dependence must be
with the former class OF service While they had
met some opposition to their outdoor meetings
from the civil authorities in other cities Mrs. Booth
declared that the police in New-York had been
exceedingly kind to the Army. and on many occa-
sions had taken great pains to preserve order in
the crowds one OF the great services that the aux
Hilary leagues could 90 she said, was 10 bail out
the soldiers when they were arrested for violations
OF city ordinances in the line OF holding street
meetings. She declared that the soldiers would
never pay fines imposed upon them, but would
serve their sentences. they had the right to
hold open-alr meetings under the Constitution Of the
United States and that II any city ordinances were
enacted contrary to the Constitution the Supreme
Court would decide In their favor.
Mrs. Booth then spoke about the opening OF the
new headquarters Of the Salvation Army In Four
teenth-st saying that IL would be opened In March
and that $4,000 would be asked for TO complete the
