New York, Oct. 30-The Herald's COR

that news has been received from the

of the passage Of British troops through
the territory.

A special to the Herald from Havana
says:
'The correspondent Of an English
newspaper has just received orders
from his paper to embark at once for
Venezuela in anticipation of the dem
onstration that Great Britain is OK
pected to make at La Guayra to en-
force the demands Of her ultimatum."
A CRISIS APPROACHING.
Chicago, Oct. 3O-A special from
Washington says: Confirmation that
an armed British force was marching
through Brazilian territory to that part
of Venezuela claimed by Great Britain
will, it is said, bring the international
dispute to a crisis at once. In some
quarters fears are expressed lest the
negotiations be prolonged until En-
gland gets all the soldiers she wants in
the disputed territory. Possession, IN
diplomacy as in law, is several points
in favor of the aggressor and for that
position England, it seems, is playing
trump cards.

eron Lees, K. G. M. G., governor of
British Guiana, arrived at Plymouth at
midnight, having been recalled to En-
gland to confer with the colonial Sec
rotary on the Venezuelan boundary
question.
Sir Charles was seen upon his arrival
by representative of the Associated
Press, who sought to obtain his views
upon the Venezuelan question. He
said:
II regard the frontier outrages (the
so-called Uruan incidenD as a purely
individual act, as the British subjects,
Barnes and Baker, who were arrested
by the Venezuelan officers, when
brought before the higher representa-
tiyes of the Venezuelan government
were asked by them to return to the
British territory. But they declined,
on the ground that there were no means
Of transit back
The Uruan incident referred to by
Sir Charles was that upon which the
reported British ultimatum to Venez-
uela was based. A British sergeant Of
police, Barnes, above referred to. and
two assistants, crossed the river Ur11an
and planted the British flag on the Ven
ezuelan side. The Venezuelan police
tore down the flag. drove the intruders
across the stream and subsequently, ar
rested them. While on their way to
Cuidad Bolivar with their prisoners
they were instructed from Caracas to
release the Englishmen and to permit
them to return to British Guiana. The
British government demanded reDara
ton for these arrests.
lie was asked if he thought that anv
serious affair would occur in the event
OF crisis, to which he replied, II think
not, as there is only very small police
station on the Venezuelan frontier. The
Venezuelans tried their utmost to ner-
suade Barnes and Baker to return to
British territory after they had hean
arrested. I have no idea there will he

mands growing out Of the Uruan Incl
