CHAMBERLAIN's DISPATCHES.

What He IL Said to Have Asked
British Guiana.
Information reaching here today from
Demerara, British Guiana, is to the effect
that further dispatches of a very pointed
character have been received from Joseph
Chamberlain, British minister for the col
onies, concerning Venezuela. Their con-
tents were not disclosed, but a meeting of
the high council of the colony was called.
at which 1t was believed the subject would
be fully discussed. The information
which was contained In the Demerara pa
pers up to November 1 was transmitted
to the State Department
The report in circulation at Demarara,
and generally credited, Is that Minister
Chamberlain has forwarded dispatches to
the British Guiana government, in which
he inquiries whether or not, in the event of
measures between that colony and Venez-
uela being pushed to extremes, the colonial
government Is prepared to do its utmost In
an endeavor to sustain the prestige Of the
British flag, to which 1t owes allegiance.
Commenting on these dispatches the press
Of Demerara says there need be no hesita-
ton in giving an affirmative answer to
Minister Chamberlain.
Why such inquiry should come from Lon
don excttes conjecture. and the feeling Is
that it may be due to Irritation because the
high council voted down Mr.. Chamberlains g
proposition to buy Maxim guns, ammuni-
ton, etc. In that event, the next meeting
of the high council is expected to show a
purpose to support Mr.. Chamberlain Ito
the utmost in an endeavor to sustain the
prestige of the British fag," which Is the
language of Mr.. Chamberlain's inquiry, ac-
cordng to the accepted reports at Dem
erara.
Interviews were had with all the foreign
consuls in British Guiana concerning the
Venezuelan question. The French consul
Mr.. Clark, and the Dutch consul, Mr.. de
Jonge, refused to commit themselves in

Mr. Weber, was very outspoken against the
United States and in favor Of the British
position. England. he says. should insist
on a final settlement ON the lines 1t has
laid down. Mr.. Weber thinks the idea of
any effective Interference by America alb

The Sultan ExpelIinR the Unemployed

LONDON, November 16.-A dispatch to
the Daily News from Constantinople says
that the sultan is engaged in examining
every resort of the Armenians in the capt.
tai for the purpose Of arresting and ship
ping all of the unemployed Armenians into
Asia Minor. The measure Is regarded as
cruel one. even admitting that they reach
their destination. the people being mostly
inoffensive.
The Daily News also publishes an extract
from letter from Erzingan to the effect
that Armenian priests have already buried
over 400 bodies Of persons supposed to have
teen killed In the second massacre. Thou
sands are wandering homeless and starv-
Ing.
According to the correspondent Of the
Daily News orders have been issued to
transfer the Pancaldi military school to

THE BATTLE SHIP TEXAS.
Question of Damages 10 BE Passed or
by q BOard Of lnspecliOn.

Question of Damages TO be Passed on
by a Board of Inspection.
The probabilities now are that no court of
inquiry will be appointed to investigate the
strain Of the battle ship Texas which oc-
Cured upon the occasion of her recent dock
ing, but that the question of the damage
done at that time, as well as that of her al
legged defects of construction, will be passed
upon by the board of inspection. The vessel
has not yet been subjected to inspection
with reference to her steam power, and
decision has been reached to extend the pow
ers of the inspection board so as to include
careful inquiry into all the conditions of the
vessel. The board will also be empowered to
consider the points of dispute between the
commander Of the vessel and the naval con-
structor, with view to deciding what If
any, alterations should be made If 1t be-
comes evident. as now appears likely, that
the Texas will not be sent to sea for her
steam trial for a week or ten days, the
beard will proceed with the general investi-
cation before that time. The high officials
at the Navy Department are quite convinced
that there was no fault in the docking of the
ship.
