 There are indications today that an amicable adjustment of the strained re- lations between Great Britain and Vene- zuela may yet be effected, and that at no distant date. If this result be reached 1t will be due wholly to the influence of the United States and to the persistent tender of its good offices to both countries. That Great Britain is weary of her contention with the South American republic is a fact too obvious for dispute; that Lord Salisbury realizes that a continuance of the contention may bring the United States into the af- fair and thus cause trouble between the two great English speaking nations, is also known. The British premier has not been unmindful of the attitude of the American press with reference on thls matter, and it Is now believed that he will make some concession to pubic sentiment here. Fortunately 1t is said the British govrnment may consent to arbitration to the title of the portion or the territory now claimed in behalf or British Guinea and contested py Nene- zuela If this result has been obtained it will have been brought about by the good offices of the United States, not by any ultimatr-n. It is understood that the territory which is to be submitted to arbitration includes the greater part of the rich mining district of the Yuru- ari embracing some 33,0O0 square miles, claim to which was first advanced by British Guinea between 1S85and 1887. It is presumed that Great Britain will still insist upon the so-called "Schomburg line. to which she has made claim since 184O. but may submit all other territory to arbitration. Lord Salisbury betore, m 1890, offered through Minister Robert T. Lincoln to arbitrate all territorial acqul-
 
 but he then insisted that Venezuela must first acknowledge the justice of Great Britaip's claim east of that line. Whether this demand has since been in any way modified will probably be only definitely known when the correspondence IS made public on the assembling of congress.
 The stamer Woodhall, now at New or leans, is the object of suspicion by the Spanish minister in this country and he is in constant communication with the state departrlent on the matter. M. De Lome alleges it is said, that the Wood hall which cleared from Baltimore for Progresso, Mex, landed en route on Gu ban soil arms and ammunition for the in- surgents. From Progresso the Woodhali proceeded to New Orleans, where she has been for some time. The collector at New Orleans has been instructed to fur nish the Spanish authorities at New Or leans with all the information he possess es regarding the movements of the Woodhall The vessel has not been seized by the United States authorities, nor has any charge been made officially against her, and she is lying at her dock, free to depart and innocent, as far as the authorities here know. of any infraction of United States laws.
