Crown Surveyor Of British Cui.
ana Is Set Free.
DUE TO OLNEY's INTERCEssION.

Prompt Settlement Of the Latest Compii-
cation In the Venezuelan Question--Min-
ister Andrade Calls Upon Secretary OIL
ney and Hands Him a Copy Of the Teie'
gram Announcing the Action OF th-
Venezuelan Authorities.
WASHINGTON, June "a The latest COM
plication In the Venezuelan question has
been promptly settled through the
friendly intervention of the United States,
Mr.. Andrade, the Venezuelan minister,
called at the state department Fri ~ and
handed to Mr.. Olney copy OF a telegram
he had just received from Mr.. Rojas, the
Venezuelan minister Of foreign affairs.
stating that Mr.. Harrison, the crown sur
veyor OF the British Guiana, who with his
party had been placed under arrest by
Venezuelan officials, hsd been promptly
released. The telegram 20 Minister An
drade follows:
'It was yesterday when the national
commissary of Cuyuni telegraphed tho
occurrence. Harrison and nineteen more
crossed on the left bank Of the Cuyuni "a
open road. The sub-commissary OF
Acarabesi protested in writing. Harrison
to the post Of El Dorado. As soon as the
government was informed thereof il or
dered the release of Harrison and asked
details"
Due 10 Oiney's Intercession.
II is undoubtedly true that the prompt
action Of the Venezuelan government
was, in a measure, due to Mr.. Olney's in
tercesson through our minister at Cara
cas-, and il Is believed that the main issue
between Great Britain and Venezuelh
win be even more easy Of settlement now
that the latter government has been so
prompt to disavow the act of the sub-com
missary.
Minister Andrade says that the Cuyuni
river has been the provisional boundary
and has never before been crossed by tho
British. All the encroachments on Nene-
xuelan territory, the rights of Venezuela
| to territory on the left bank Of the Cuyuni
has been respected by the British. Posts
have been erected by the Venezuelans on
| the left bank and by the British on the
right bank, and while the country on the
right bank is In dispute that on the lett
| has never been disputed until Harrison
attempted 90 cross the river against the
| protest Of the Venezuelan authorities.
