Washington, October 4-Secretary
Olney positively refuses TO say any
thing touching any correspondence he
has had or intends to have relative TO
the settlement of the Venezeuian bOun-
dary dispute, so il cannot be positively
ascertained whether he has taken any
steps recently to induce Great Britain
to submit the matter to arbitration. 1t
can be stated, however, that since Sec
retary Gresham's death and up TO re-
cent date the department has not made
a single move in that direction. But
inasmuch as Congress by resolution has
directed the executive to use its best
efforts TO bringthe dispute to arbitration
it is very probable that. having in mind
the near approach Of the assembling Of
Congress, Secretary Olney has been
giving the subject the attention it de-
mands and is formulating his views to
be communicated to Ambassador Bay
ard upon the return of the latter from
his vacation in Scotland.
Moreover, rs the preceding letters of
the late Secretary Gresham on this sub
ject appear to have failed to secure ac-
ton by the British government, whose
only response was q reiter2tiOn of their
willingness to arbitrate the title to
lands included within supplementary
claims, and outside of the vast tract
which the VeneZuelans assert have
been seized from them, Secretary Olney
may feel that the time has come to
make a more forcible presentation
than the mere statement that the
United States would welcome a sub
mission OF the questions to arbitration.
As diplomacy has many steps between
the initiation of an incident and de-
claration of war, it is possible, follow
ing ordinary usage, to set out such a
view in terms which, while still forci-
Bile. shall be entirely courteous and in
no degree approaching an ultimatum,
and such undoubtedly will be the na-
ture of Secretary Olney's letter. This
must be done in order that some proper
return may be made to Congress in De-
cember next, but further than that the
Secretary is not likely to proceed, for as
an ultimatum is really step towards
war. TO deliver such might be regarded
rs an infringement Of the constitution
sI rirht of Congress.

FIRM STAND TAKEN.
Secretary Oln8y Calls a Halt to British
Aggression.
A Dispatch toAmbassador Bayard
Which VIII Bring the Matter to
an Issue - Arbitration and the
Monroe Doctrine to be Upheld.

New York, October A special to
the Herald from Washington says: The
great international question Of the hour
is the Venezuelan boundary dispute.
Secretary Olney has prepared a dis
patch to Ambassador Bayard which
will soon bring the matter to an issue.
This dispatch is of a most positive and
unequivocal nature. As soon as it shall
be placed before the British govern
ment It will raise an issue which can be-
settled only by the retreat Of one Of the
other government. The stand taken by
the United States in this dispatch is
one which involves the oldest and most
sacred traditions Of the government
an enforcement of the Monroe doctrine.
Secretary Olney's dispatch is in sub
stance a declaration in the most posi-
tive language that the United States
will never consent TO British occupa-
ton of the disputed territory in Vene-
zuela unless that nations right thereto
is first determined by arbitration.
In polite, but firm and significant
words, Secretary Olney declares It 10 be
the belief of the United States govern
ment that the territorial claims which
Great Britain has set up in Venezuela
are in the nature of an attempt to seize
territory or the continent to which she
has no legal right. The secretary
points two horns to the delimma, leav-
ing Great Britain to choose which it
viii accept.
First-If the quarrel with Venezuela
is an ordinary boundary dispute, hav-
ing its origin in faulty description, i'm
perfect surveys. or other misunder-
standings, a refusal TO arbitrate the
same IS contrary to the precedents set
by Great Britain herself and contrary
to the practice Of all civilized nations.
Second-If, on The other hand, as ap-
pears to be the case, and as is the be-
lief Of the President Of the United Sta
tes, the dispute as to the location of a
boundary line is a mere disguise under
which Great Britain is attempting by
sum rior force to extend her territory
in America, this IS directly violative of
the Monroe doctrine, and will never be
submitted to by the United States.
