THE BRITISH SIDE !
GIVEN OF THE VENEZUELAN
BOUNDARY TROUBLE.
The Commission's blue nook Has
Been Submitted to the House Of
Commons for Ratification.

, London, March 7.-(copyrlghted 1896
piue book on the Venezuela boundary
dispute was laid on the table OF the
mouse OF commons yesterday. The fol-
lowing is a summary OF the position
OF Great Britain as published In the
work referred to:
i. Long prior to and at the time OF
the treaty OF Munster, in 1876, the
Dutch founded settlements In various
parts OF British Guaiaua, particularly
on the coast
:. The early Spanish settlement prior
to then was Santo Home de Guayana.
}. During the whole period from 1913
TO 1876 the Dutch had uninterrupted
possession of the entire coast line and
the River Corentin to Barma.
=. During the same period they had
explored the upper portion of nearly
all the rivers and made many settle
ments In adjacent districts.
.. Prior to 1928 there was no settle
ment of Spaniards except Santo Home
de Guyana.
G. Between 1874 and 1895 Capuchin
missions were established southwark
of the Orlnoco and gradually extended
eastward toward the Dutch territory,
the fartherest point occupied by the
Spaniards being Tumermo, founded
about l5SS.
Z. Before 1896 the Dutch had settled
far up the Cuyunl. Dutch post dis
patch was established to the Ururay
and the DuAch had fun control OF the
whole basin OF the Cuyuni.
s. Except for the settlement of Snnto
Home de Guyana and the missions the
! Spaniards exercised no authority in the
territory in dispute.
.. Great Britain on becoming pos
SCISSOR OF the colony succeeded to ull
rights of the Dutch.
10. After 1896 Great Britain extended
her settlements and exercised over the
territory originally claimed by the
| Dutch all the rights whereby nations
| usually indicate claim to territory.
| II. Neither Spain nor Venezuela after
the latter had declared her independ-
| ence at any time had possession OF or
dominion over the territory In ques-
| ton.
| IL. Great Britain while maintaining
her Just rights has consistently shown
u desire TO make n fair nrrangemen'
with Venezuela in regard TO the boun'
dairy.
ig The claim of Venezuela that hei
territory extends to the Essequibo II
based on contentious In no wise sup
| ported by facts and cannot be Justineu
on any reasonable ground.
The foregoing thus establishes drea'
Britain in her strict rlBht 10 ne en-
