WASHINGTON, Aug, 1.-THE cable re-

point OF the Venezuelan negotiations that

disputed tract in the proposed arbitra.

This inclusion Of the settled districts

the first that this was sovereign British

Secretary Olney has urged that the
omission OF this settled portion from arbi

the arb ,tration as the unsettled or worth.
less sections were not what Venezuela
contended for. The latest view OF this
phase was presented in brief by Mr..
Storrow lawyer of Boston, OF whose
ability Mr.. Olney has a high opinion. The
Storrow brief was laid before the Vene.
zuelan commission as a part of the Veue-
zuela case but aside from this it is known
that its line of argument was similar to
that taken by the secretary of state. Mr.
Storrow pointed out that the settled dis
trict' was in fact but little settled; that
the number of British colonists there was
comparatively insignificant; that their
Improvements" on which Lord Sails
bury had laid much stress, were of the
most meager and primitive kind. and that
the whole money value of existing British
settlements, houses, improvements. etc.
would be a comparatively small sum.
The Point Is Conceded.
From this the conclusion was drawn
thtt these so-called settled districts should
not stand in the way of the adjustment of
so large question There has been no
intimation that this view was shared by
the British authorities until the cable di
patches stating that on what Is believed
to be the inspired authority Of the Brad

by LoId Salisbury. The further sugges.

made for the improvements of the British
