GREATLY PLEASED.
Venezuelan Minister as Much Eiated as
Salisbury Seems Concerned.

Washington. Dec. 1S.-Senor Andrade.
the Venezuelan minister today, expressed
himself as thoroughly gratified with the
recommendations of the President, and he
is confident that the enthusiasm in Ven
ezuela, when the main points of the mes
sage are received there will be very great.
He considers as remarkable the deep in
sight into the question shown by the
President, and can find no words strong
enough to commend the mastery presenta-
ton of the facts of the controversy by
Secretary Olney.
In regard to the commission, Senior
Andrade beliveves it would be most wei
come to Venezuela, similar commission
having been recommended by the repre-
sentative of that country in London, in
1898, to Lord Rosebery.
The proposition provided for eight or 10
men Of the highest technical attachments,
including lawyers, to examine the legal
portion of the controversy, and in the case
OF the failure of this commission to agree,
the points it left undisputed will be re-
ferred to arbitration.
The minister thinks the commission
suggested by the President could complete
its labors without going to Venezuela, in
. few months, from the material available
in this country.

Paris, Dec. is. - Lucien Millevoye.
formerly member of the Chamber of
Deputies, has an article in La Patrie, in
which he says;
President Cleveland message inflicts
a harder blow on the British pride than it
mas received in a century. 1t will diminish
England's prestige in all parts of the
world. England must undertake an ultra
formidable adventure or bow to the Ameri-
cans naughty ultimatum. Since Napoleon
threatened to invade England, no chief of
state has dared to Use toward the British
foreign office such firm language as that
OF MIR. Cleveland's. England is in a
dilemma. Submission is equivalent to
humiliation, and resistance is equivalent
to war-an implacable duel with all the
energy and moral and material forces
which America has at its disposal, includ-
Ing the Irish, whom England's ubiquitous
rule has exiled to the new world Europe

brave an American coalition reused to
anger by an attack upon it's dearest in

diplomacy has bribed half the world and

audacious now with weaklings like the
Matabeles; 1t will now know how to be
prudent. England cannot count on any
