Nav YORK, Oct. ia special to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
"A telegram from Para, Brazil, has
been received in Rio Janeiro stating
that an armed British 70 is march
ing through brazilian territory. The
objective point of the body is that part
of Venezuela claimed by the British
government. The column has already
crossed the Tacutu river"
WASHINGTON, Oct lG-The report
that British soldiers had been landed
in Brazil and were proceeding TO the,
disputed British Venezuela territory
is discredited by Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the British ambassador; by Signor
Mendonca, the Brazilian minister, and
Senior Andrade, the Venezuelan minis
ter, the representatives of the three
countries concerned. IL is agreed by
these officials that move of such SUI
prene Importance would be quickly
communicated here, and in the alb

attached to It.
