portant bearing on the Venezuelan
dispute has been submitted to the
Venezuelan commission. This docu-
ment is "a geographical work of twS
volumes, published in 1922, and is by
Prof. Myers, of the Royal Military
academy, Woolwich, Eng, and an OIL
Ger of the British government. BY
virtue of his official position, he had
access TO all British archives, and pub
lished his work just eight years after
the cession made to England by Hol-
land, of the three settlements of De-
marara, Berlice and Essequibo. In
this geography, which is very ex-
haustive and complete work, and which
was the standard authority of its day,
it is both stated on the map and re-
peated several times in the text that
the Essequlbo river was the frontier
boundary between Dutch, now British
Guiana, and Venezuela.

Grant ON tho Cuban Question.

During the debate on the Cuban
question in the United States senate,
many illusions were made both by
Senator Sherman and Senator Hill as
to the attitude of President Grant and
Hamilton Fish, then secretary of state
on the question, which was an import
ant one during the former Cuban war.
On the authority Of diaries in the pos
session of Hamilton Fish, son of the
late secretary, it is shown that Presi-
dent Grant had at one time, under the
circumstances of "A pending negotiation
at Madrid, been inclined to recognize
the belligerency of Cuba: but on June
IL, 1870, the opinion of the President
and the cabinet was unanimous that
there were not facts to justify the
declaration of belligerency, and that
the satisfaction of the President with
the Cuban policy of his administration
and its effects upon the country and
the Republican party, found expression
a few weeks later in thanks to the
secretary of state for whatever share
in it may have been due TO his wisdom
and Judgment

To Make Light Out Darkness by Rays
Several important discoveries have

pictures Herewith. lie is now trying

worked later. 1t may be possible To
light a dark room by using the waste
radiant energy of the boiling tea ket-
tie or the ordinary radiator, or by col
lecting and turning into light the y
rays OF the darkness itself. DR.. En-
mems and his son have invented an in
strument which is now being con-
structed to enable surgeons, by means
of \ rays, TO see the interior of limbs
or bodies of their patients, instead of
examining them on "A Photographic

London 1t is understood here that
Senior Andrade, the Venezuelan min
lister at Washington, has now decided
to recognize the Yuruan incident as
separate from the boundary question
and hopes are expressed that his en-
tente will lead to an agreement upon
a scheme for the settlement of the
boundary dispute by direct negotia-
tions between Great Britain and Vene-
zuela. 1t is regarded as certain that
the United States will cordially sup
port such an agreement.

The so-called Yuruan incident has
been divorced from the Venezuelan
boundary dispute, and practically ter
minated through the good Offices of
the United States, without the repre-
sentatives of Great Britain and Vene-
zuela coming into direct rela-
tons regarding the affair. 1t is un-
derstood that the Yuruan demand now
simply becomes one for personal dam
ages inflicted upon British property
and persons by Venezuelan officials,
leaving out of the controversy the
question whether the occurrence was
upon the Venezuelan territory, as
being irrelevant.

Six killed by Powder Mil Explosion

A terrific explosion occurred at the
Latin Rand powder mill at Rifton, n.
Y, and the conclusion was felt over
six miles. Five men were blown to
pieces, and it was with difficulty that
the identification of the missing could
be made. About so men were EN-
ployed at the mill, and many of them
were hurt. In all 10000 pounds of
powder were destroyed and the loss to
the COMPANY is placed at $50. 900.
