Washington, Jan. 22.-Scnor Salvador
de Mandonica, minister from Brazil to
the United States, in Il communication
to the Washington Post with reference
to Mr.. Dcpew's speech before the New
York Bar association last night, writes
as follows;
IF Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Dcpcw were us
well acquainted with the Latin Amcri-
cans as he is with the financial relations
between this country and Europe he
would know that at present there are
no dictators in South America. but
presidents, elected in accordance with
the constitutional laws of the countries
and that there is as much security for
life and property, either of citizens or
foreigners, in Brazil, Chill or Argentine
rs there is in the United States on Eng
land, and that no sclf-rcspccting Latin
American union would countcnance the
idea of a protectoratc. even if offered
them by their best and most powerful
friends"

s;gned by ]. ]. Curtis, a son of George L.
Cnrtis. and grandson of j. Storey, once
instice of the supreme court OF the
limited States. The message is as Iol-
lows:
exert your influence to help Ham

the Pretoria Jail. He has been taken as
one of the ring leaders and unless some
radical measures are taken by our gov
eminent he will be made to suffer for the
sins of others, for which he is in no way
responsible" ,,,
The message to Colonel Thornton says:
81 earnestly beg you to use your IN
huence to protect Hammond from the
consequence of mistake which has been
made by others in this unfortunate blsl-
ness. He is not guilty, has been wrong
fully confined in Jail for the past lO days
and the Transvaal government refuses
to admit him to bail"
Judge John Gradock, a prominent at.

THE CURAN QUESTION.

that has gained ground in congress that
n reply TO the resolution calling for in
formation and all documents throwing
light upon the Cuban war because Pres
ident Cleveland was preparing message
and might announce recognition of the
belligerents, does not seem to be well
founded. A member of the house for
eign affairs committee who talked with
Secretary Olney this week, says the doc
uments will be forwarded within few
days, and that they will not be accom-
panied by n message. II is possible, he
said. that Secretary Olney will hand II
part Of the documents, II not all Of them.

BAYARD WILL BE CENSURED.
At Least the Special Committee vii
Recommend Il Mild Censure.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Little doubt is
left by the action of a special committee
of the foreign affairs committee, which
met today, that Ambassador Bayard will
be censured for his recent utterances in
England. A resolution will be brought
before the house next week expressing
disapproval of Ambassador Bayard's
two speeches. which We're called to the
attention of the house by Messrs. Mccall
and Barrett of Massachusetts. The pur-
pose of the resolution will be n mild CEN
sure of Ambassador Bayard for the two
utterances mentioned and an expression
of the opinion of the house that repre-
sentatives of the United States abroad
should be very discreet in their public
references to home politics.
1t is understood that the subcommittee
feels that the present tension between
the British and American governments
over the Venezuelan question constrains
them to recommend Il mildcr form of
censure than they think the ambassa-
doris remarks would call for under ordi-
nary circumstances. One of them said
that while they did not wish to take any
action that would detract from Mr..
Bayard's standing with the power to
which he is accredited, they did not feel
justified in ignoring his speeches.

COMMENT ON THE COMMISSION.
London, Jan. 22.-G. w. Smalley, cor
respondent of the London Times, cables
from Washington to his paper today as
follows:
"rhe full force of English objection to
the Venezuelan commission has never, |
think, been appreciated here. Ameri-
cans are surprised when they are told
that English recognition of the commits
sion is impossible. They hardly see
why they should be warned by London
evening paper that an American claim
to determine n British boundary is one
which could only be conceded after de-
feat in long war, and that if such Il
demand were made by any other power
it would be met by handing their am
bassador his passports and modifying II
fleet.
"Such language does not clarity the
vision of the Americans. 1t simply
creates irritation and resentment. The
writer who used it might have reached
the American mind if he merely asked
Wnut tllt hHitIltuilS Noulu IL lht
case were reversed and if England should
appoint II commission to determine the
boundary of an American republic.
Justice Brewers letter is discussed
here rs if it embodied perfectly natural
appeal for the friendly cooperation of
England in the work of the commission.
That, also, is the view of the administra
ton"
Mr.. Smallcy suggests that in view of II
sincere desire in Washington to see the
full text of the British case, Lord Sails
bury publish the documents as sup
pcment to the London Gazette.
Mr.. Smalley continues: "Thcrc is here
Il real desire to see his whole career.
This desire is official as well as general.
The documents are not wanted for con-
troversial purposes, but as helpful to an
amicablc adjustment, and now, more
strongly than ever, this government is
prepared to look on the principal ques-
tons referring to the boundary itself

the report of the offensive and defensive
alliance between Russia and turkey
