recently had his first meeting with the high
court or legislative body of British Guiana
He had been appointed to succeed Sir Fran

Chamberlain's propositions for developing the
interior in the neighborhood of the disputed
boundary, along the Guyuni river, and then
Of Sir Augustus would be more effective in
proceeded to business by submitting a plan
for the development of the interior, along
the lines proposed by Mr.. Chamberlain last
fall. 1t was In the form OF resolution, re-
citing that a survey had been authorized
to a point on the Esquibo coast or the lower
Guyuni river, ii was now expedient to extend
the survey between the Cartuma and Barima
river. The resolution authorized the expendi-
ture of 50, 900 for the survey. Opposition to
the plan soon developed in the court. The
government secretary and attorney general
endeavored to overcome the opposition. They
were warned however, that II the resolution
was put to a vote II would be defeated.
Thereupon the new governor general with
drew the resolution. The enforced withdraw
al of the resolution was regarded as an IN
auspicious opening for Sir Augustus admin

line. when they were stopped by a force

been arrested under fresh orders from
Caracas and carried to the Venezuelan
station opposite Hruan, the Venezue-
lans claiming the right to arrest for
eigners on the left bank of the Cuyuni.
The arrest of Mr.. Harrison has aroused
the colony of British Guiana and the
population demands that Great Bri-
tain take immediate and decisive ac-

the laborers, says: 1T seems that
commission overheard, and is desirous
OF settling with us direct by the ordeal
OF battle. The duty of the British
government is clear. Reparation must
be Immediately demanded and en-
forced.
The Chronicle says: "It is intolerabIe
that, while the United States and Great
Britain are negotiating, the Venezue-
lans should take such action We must
tell the government at Caracas that
they will have to release Harrison.

amends.
Venezuela could not have adopted
more unfortunate action. 1t is easy to
see that any attempt will be at once
made to remove the frontier question
from the region of argument and con-
Citation to the atmosphere of passion
and prejudice. But the two questions
must be kept apart The boundary
must be settled calmly, while the vio-
lence done to Harrison must be prompt

Ne, which has just arrived In this
harbor, brings news Of fresh atrocities
by the Spanish troops in Cuba. The
Hooper sailed ten days ago from
Sagua, on the North coast Of Cuba,
and In Santa Clara province. While at
that port the American consul told the
captain Of the Hooper in substance
this story:
'The Spanish commander Of the post
there had orders from the commander
at Havana to see to 1t that all the
tobacco planted near Sagua should be
taken to that city. A large tobacco
plantation, about three miles South of
Sagua, is owned by Mr.. Gonzales, said
to be an American citizen. The Spanish
commander summoned Mr.. Gonzales to
his headquarters and asked why he
had failed to comply with the captain
generals proclamation Mr.. Gonzales
explained that the Spanish troops had
taken all his horses and cattle. and he
could not cart his tobacco.
