LONDON, Oct. 7.-Regarding num-
erous reports in@Greatz Britain and the
United States with reference to the
Venezuelan question, the Associated
Press learns that there have been no
negotiations between London and
Washington since the blue book Of
July was issued. The story cabled
from Washington to the effect that
Great Britain has made further con-
ceSsions, amounting almost to a COM
plete surrender of her claims, is pro-
nounced to be absolutely untrue, and
1t is added that negotiations regarding
return of Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British ambassador, to Washington,
with the instructions of the Marquis
Of Salisbury in the case. Sir Julian
Pauncefote was booked to sail by an
early steamer, but he has been obliged
to postpone his departure, on account
Of diplomatic business, and will start
for New York from Liverpool, on board
the White Star line steamship Ger
manic, on Oct. IA.
Previous to leaving England, Sir
Julian Pauncefote will have another
Conference with the Marquis of Sails
bury and the ambassador will prob
ably see the secretary Of state for the
co1onies, Joseph Chamberlain. Sir
Julian has recently paid many visits
to the foreign office and the colonial
office, but it is explained, though, that
this does not indicate that there has
been any development in the Venezuelan
question. Regarding the question Of
arbitration, the same conditions pre-
vail. Negotiations upon this subject
will also be resumed upon the return
OF Sir Julian Pauncefote to Washing

ton of an early and satisfactory set

1t Is believed that the next message
Of President Cleveland to congress,
and the next queens speech at the
opening of parliament will announce
a settlement Of both questions.

The Turkish government has also sent
circular to the different embassies.
demanding the right to search foreign
vessels passing Constantinople for Ar
menians. It is believed that the powers
will not accede to this request. as up
to the present Armenians who have
sought refuge on board of British or
french vessels have been protected by
the guardshipS here until the vessels
on which they had sought refuge sail
ed for their destination.
Advices received here from the island
OF Crete state that the crisis there Is
by no means ended. The entire popu-
lation Of the interior Of that island Is
still under arms, and their leaders
have announced that they will renew
hostilities unless the Turkish garri-
sons are Withdrawn from Crete. This
has caused renewal of the excitement
and the situation has once more as
sumed most threatening aspect. 1t
is believed that the Turkish govern
ment will insist upon maintaining it's
garrisons in Crete and Turkey in this
matter will have the support Of the
powers. who recently brought about
what was looked upon as being set
Element of the Cretan difficulties by
compelling the porte to grant nearly
all the reforms demanded by the in
surgents and giving them sort of
local self-government which was
locked upon as being satisfactory to
the 1nsurgent leaders. This fresh
demonstration in Crete will. in all
probability, bring about further trou-
BILE and postpone again a definite set
Element of the Eastern question.

AMERICAN CRUISER BARRED.
Will Not Be Permitted to Pass the
DardeneIIes.

DardeneIIes.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Oct. Ut was
officially announced here today that
the Turkish government, after weigh
ing the matter over and consulting
with certain advisers. has come to the
decision not to admit the United States
cruiser Bancroft through the Dardan-
Giles, and therefore she will not be
able to act as the guard5hip of the
United States legation in these waters.
The Porte, 1t is added, has also de-
c1ded not to admit the guardships of
Greece and Holland, which countries al
so proposed to have a ship stationed in
the Bosphorus as q guardship and to
furnish men to guard their legations
In case of emergency. 1t should be
added, however, that the United States
government is not known to nave pre-
Sented through it's minister, Mr.. Ter
rell, a formal demand for the passage
OF the Bancroft or any other United
States warship through the straits of
the Dardanelles. and 1t is recalled that
Greece In 1888 was allowed to have
guardship in the Bosphorus.
The exact ground upon which the
turkish government takes it's stand In
this case iS>not stated, but it is known
in official circles here that Russia has
objections to the presence In the Bos-
phorous of United States, Grecian or
Dutch guardships.
The objections to the presence Of the
extra guardships here are said, accord
ing to general report, to be based on
the Berlin agreement, which excludes
from naval representation in the Ros-
phorus any powers that were not par
ties to that agreement, and that there
fore, the United States cannot be al
lowed to send warship to the straits
of the Dardanelles. 1t is believed that
Mr.. Terrell, about a month ago, sent
an urgent request to Washington for a
United States war vessel. 1t is further
intimated that the United States gov
eminent will insist, by force IL neces-
sary, upon the presence of the Ban
croft in the Bosphorous, taking the
ground that such a step would not be
an unfriendly act to Turkey, In view
