TRUSTEES IN A FIX
Difficulties in the Way of
Locating the Library on
Van Worst Park.
ADJOINING OWNERS OBJECT
Think it Would Depreciate Their
Property Deed Restrictions
Block the Deal.

The Free Library trustees are in a
quandary over their proposed purchase of
the Albeit house and the adjoining lots
on Van Worst Park and Jersey avenue.
A certain clause in a certain deed is
giving no end of trouble. and as matters
stand at present it is extremely doubtful
whether they will be able to get the
property at all.
The certain clause has reference to a
condition restricting the use of the
house for any other than private dwell
ing house. To break this the con-
sent of adjoining owners must be gained,
and here it is understood is where the
hitch lies
This is all extremely disappointing to
the trustees who have labored so faith

Ihey have by good management laid
up snug little sum to be expended on
building of the city, and just as their
hopes We're about to be realized, along

THAT BLUE BOOK.
BIZ Cable to the United Pres.

LONDON, March II. 1Ss6-The .St
James Gazette" dissects the article pub
lished in the DAILY Chronicle" attack
ing the Venezuelan Blue Book, and de-
clares it to be Tissue of perversions
and maresnests," and altogether a hasty
attempt on the part of the Radicals to
discredit the British case
The "St. James Gazette" in a later
edition, pursues the subject. In the course
of its article the Gazette admits that
the Chronicle" proves that there have
been certain loose, careless and mislead-
ing translations introduced into the Blue
Book, and gives as an. instance the de-
spatch which was sent home to the
Centurion" in April, ITO. which in effect
shows that the Dutch did not hold any
thing on the Cayuni except a settlement
at the mouth of that river where it joins
the Essequfbo.
The "Gazette's'' article concludes by
saying that the compilers of the Blue
Book in the Foreign Office certainly owe
the public an explanation.

LONDON. March 2, 1Se8-Mr.1wal-

ber of Parliament. for Wednesday has
written an article which is published in
the "Pall Mall Gazette" on the proposed
recognition of the belligerent rights to
the Cuban insurgents by the United States.
The United States. he says has always
been on the side of people struggling for
freedom, and Spain, he thinks, would
make an error if she regarded the recog-
milton of the belligerency of the Cubans
as q hostile act. The people of Great
Britain, he continues, will bear in mind
the essential distinction between recogni-
sion of belligerents and recognition of
81 s*ndependence.
