THE BOUNDARY DISPUTE.

Senior Andrade Continues uniformed a.
to the Progress of Negotiations.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Senor An
drade, the Venezuelan minister, contin-
ues uniformed as to the progress of
negotiations SO vital to his own coun-
try in the boundary dispute. but since
President Cleveland's message to con-
gress, resulting in the high commits
sion, Venezuela is no longer inquisitive
as to means pursued by the United
States to settle the matter, relying
with confidence upon the good inten-
tions of the United States.
simultaneously with the admission
in the house of commons, on Monday
by Mr.. Curzon, parliamentary secretary
of the foreign Office, that negotiations
had been resumed, which probably had
reference to the preliminary discus
sions by Ambassador Bayard and Lord
Salisbury, full instructions reached
the British ambassador here which are
understood to be of such scope as to
give him plenipotentiary powers to
reach an agreement with Secretary
Olney.
Little doubt is expressed that Sir
Henry Stafford Northcote, who reached
here Sunday, will also be an active
participant in the negotiations to
which, under ordinary circumstances.
the Venezuelan representative would
not be invited until considerable adj
vance had been made.
Beyond the fact that negotiations
are actually going on, which is now
admitted by all the parties concerned,
the strictest secrecy is maintained as
to any concessions made by either of
the interested parties.

THE NILE EXPEDITION.

A Reported Interview Rcpudiated-WfE
Draw on the Reserve Fund for Costs.
LONDON, March 2O.-In the house o.
commons, yesterday. Under Secretary
Cnrzon announced that II. Berthelot,
French minister of foreign affairs, had
informed Lord Dufferin, the British
ambassador to France, that he repudi-
ated all responsibility for the state
ments made in reporting the purport
OF the interview between the minister
and the ambassador on Tuesday, in
which the former is represented as
having deman ded to know the rea-
sons for the British expedition up the
Nile, and as having pointed out the
grave consequences necessarily in
volved in such an undertaking.
Mr.. Balfour, first lord of the treas
ury, and the government leader in the
house, said that the British ambassa-
doris to Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Rome
and st. Petersburg had been instructed
to communicate to the respective gov
ernments to which they were accred-
lied the grounds upon which the En-
glish advance up the Nile valley had
been made, and also to point out the
fact that in order to meet the ex-
penditures required it might be neces-
sary to use a larger sum than was
at the disposal of the Egyptian treas
ury and that the government hoped
that the commission of the Egyptian
public debt would assent to the ex-
penditure of s5Oo, 900 from the reserve
fund, which was now Sc, SOC, 900. The
governments of Germany, Italy and
Austria had given replies asserting to
this, but Russia and France had not
answered. As the operations were in
the interest of Egypt, Mr.. Balfour
said, the costs should naturally be de-
frayed from the reserve fund. 1t was
not possible, he said, to form an exact
estimate of the expense at present.

FOUGHT HAND TO HAND.

seasuinary Engagement In Which the
SpanArds Fled After Two Hours of Hot
Efghting-The Attitude OF the Reform
Party Embarrassing to Gen. Weller. Who

zeal In Certain Events.
HAVANA, March 2O.-News has been
received here of an important battle
which was fought on Monday IN the
vicinity of Candelaria, in the province
Of Pinar del Rio. The government
troops were unable to drive the insur-
gents back and retired from their posi-
ton with considerable loss. The Span
ish forces were commanded by Gen.
Linares and Colonies Inclan and Her
mandes. and the rebels by Maceo
and Bandera. The rebels made an at
tack upon the rear guard of the Span
iards. completely encircling their col
umn. Having entirely surrounded the
government troops, the insurgents adj
vanced upon the artillerymen with
machetes.
The latter made a vigorous resist
ance, using muskets and grenades with
such effect as to check for time the
snemys advance, but, with reinforce
nents, second charge was made
by the insurgents and a hand
to-hand engagement ensued. The bat
tie terminated with a bayonet charge.
After hot fight, lasting two hours,
the Spaniards were defeated, losing
many killed and wounded.
The official report of the fight says
the insurgents suffered a tremendous
loss.

Avefted by Wise Action ON tho Part of
Sne GOvernment-L Hung Chan4's Sue

Dese-Japanese Treaty.
San FRANCISCO, March 2o.-Corre-
spondence of the United Press per
steamer Peru:
TOXIC, March 3.-Eleven peaceful Jap
onese subjects. including one woman,
have been foully murdered by Corean
rioters since the coup d'etat of Febru-
airy IL. The Toxic government is
showing resolute patience in the pres
ence of these outrages. 1t appreciates
the inability of the Corean executive
TO deal with the anarchy now prevail
ing in the peninsula, and refrains
from preferring demands that must
tend to precipitate more acute crisis.
The political crisis nearly precipi-
tatcd in Japan on receipt of intelli-
Rence of the recent coup has been
averted. The balance of power in the
diet is held by a party numbering 80
members and calling themselves the
national unionists. The men had
hitherto sided with the government,
but Russia's suddenly overshadowing
appearance on the Corean stage per-
turbed them so much that they made
a motion of want OF confidence in the
cabinet.
Seeing that time alone was needed
to calm he apprehensions, the govern
ment suspended the diet for ten days
before the motion could be discussed,
and when the houses reassembled on
the 25th of February, the national I'M
ionists asked leave to withdraw the
motion. That was not permitted,
however After brief debate bal
lot was taken, and the motion was
thrown out by majority of "a in a
house of 265 members.

pointed to represent China at the cor

potentiary for negotiating the new

A ROOM THIEF.
Officer rIaley Landed Him in Jail Last
Night.

AS Officer Maley was passing the
door of a downtown hotel last night
about 10 o'clock he heard someone in
the hallway up stairs call out: There
lie goes! That's the fellow.''
The officer ran mp the stairway and
met man who had just come from
one of the rooms AMI was making for
the street, while another man a few
steps behind him and clad only in an
undershirt was calling for someone
20 arrest the man who had burglarized
his room.
Maley placed the fellow under arrest
and took him to the City Jail. where
he was locked up and will probably be
charged with burglary. He had in one
of his pockets the hat of the man
whose room he entered, leaving his
own on the floor where he had dropped
it, When the patrol wagon reached
the Jail the prisoner, who is big and
burly, made a leap and tried to Jump
over the side into the street. But Maley
fetched him clip under the ear that
laid him low and took all of that nom
sense out of him.
The prisoner, who gave his name as
William Harrison, had taken a room
at the hotel, two doors distant from the
che occupied by John Milan and a
friend. Milan retired early and left the
door unlocked for his roommate. Har-
rison found his way into the room
and was about to go through Nians
pockets when the latter was aroused
and he decamped
He slipped down stairs and out to
the rear but could not reach the alley,
SO he tarried a while in the washroom
and then returned to his own room,
where Milan discovered him and gave
the alarm
