Great Britain VIII Warn Ameri-

of the Territory, or ANY Part
Thereof.

Washington, June 29.-It is expected
protest against the concession
Venezuela has made to an American
company, and will warn the Ameri-
cans against taking possession of the
territory, part of which is claimed by
Great Britain. Under similar circum-
stances the British foreign Office pro-
tested against the same concession
when it was first granted to Ameri-
cans in 1884, and the warnings at that
time were so determined that the lat
ter did not push their concession. The
warning was as follows:
Colonial Office, London, October q,
1SS4-Whereas, the boundary line be-
tween her nlajesty's colony of British
Guiana and the republic of Venezuela
is in dispute; and whereas it has come
to the knowledge of her majesty's
government that grants of land
within the territory claimed by
her majesty's government have
been made, or purported to have
been made, by or in the name of the
government of Venezuela, notice is
hereby given that no title to land or
to any right in or over or affecting
such land, within the territory claimed
by her majesty's government, pur-
porting to be derived from or through
the government of Venezuela, or any
officer or person authorized by that
government, will be admitted or rec
ognized by her majesty's government,
and any person taking possession OF
or exercising any right over any such
lands under color of any such title
will be liable to be treated as a
trespasser."

GoULD's NIAGARA.
He is Not Entirely Satisfied With

Rothesay, Scotland, June 29.-The repre-
sentative of the Associated Press saw
Mr.. Howard Gould on board the Niagara

There was much excitement when
the Valkyrie, just as she was entering
Larg'S bay, got rather near the shore,
lost her wind and became completely
becalmed. Meanwhile the Ailsa and
Britannia stood more out in the chan
mel and got a little breeze and gradu-
ally drew up until the Ailsa passed the
Valkyrie and rounded Largs mark

Lord Dunravens yacht. The Britain

The Ailsa did not succeed in passing
the mark boat ahead of the Valkyrie
as she got too far to the leeward. The
Valkyrie still standing in got a breeze
and rounded the mark boat before the
Ailsa and Britannia, which were vir-
tually becalmed.

Bristol, r. l., June 29.-Ihe launching
of the yacht Defender this afternoon was
not brilliant success which had been so
confidently expected. After leaving the
ways, the Defender stuck fast in a COM
bination of mud and timber on the shores
CT Bristol harbor. 1t was just 1855 p. m.
when the signal for the start was given.
and amid the cheers of the assembled
guests and spectators, the boat started
on her trip down the ways, and at that
instant Mrs. f. Oliver Iselin broke bot
tie of champagne across the bows, say
ing:
Il christen thee Defender"
For three-quarters of the distance, the
yacht glided down the creased surface of
the ways, easily Then the Defender
slipped among the crunching of timbers.
The boat was hanging on the verge of
the water partly submerged, and fast
upon her cradle. The gentlemen in
charge had miscaIculated the height of
the tide and there was nok water enough
to float the craft upon which the hopes
of so many patriotic Americans were
rested.
The tugboats Aquid Neck of Newport
and Bay Point of Fall river, which had
been lying off the end of the pier, were
hastily called into service. Ropes were
passed about the Defenders hull and the
tugs began to pull. II was useless for
the time. the tide was slowly rising, but
il was not high enough, and after few
efforts, the tugs desisted. AS near as
can be estimated a this writing, the
boat has not suffered material damage.
Captain HerreSchof said the Defender
is the best yet his firm has built He re-
fused, however, TO give the dimensions
of the boat or any facts regarding her
sail area.
A gentleman who is in a position to
state correct information, however, gave

the end OF the ways and thoroughly In
spected the cradle and examined her
position for fully two hours. Then he
reported to Nat Herreshon that the boat
was not in the mud, but that the cradle
had stuck fast in her ways. Mr.. Dun

had swollen after being iced IN the
water so that when the cradle came
down the ways were so tight they would
not allow it TO pass through.

story building at the southwest corner
of Franklin and Madison streets in the

o'clock this Sunday morning created
