HAsTY INTERVENTION OPPOSED

LONDON, ENG, March 3-In the House
of Commons to-day Right Hon. Charles T.
Ritchie. President of the Board of Trade,
was asked in regard to the reports of mis-
conduct on the part of the crew of the
British steamer Ailsa, after the collision
between that vessel and the French steamer
La Bourgogne in New York harbor last
Saturday, resulting in the sinking of the
British ship. Mr.. Richie said the Gov
eminent has not as yet obtained the fullest
possible information, to secure which
searching inquiry would be needed.
George N. Curzon. Under Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, replying to questions,
made statement that the Government
had heard nothing OF the Porte having
declined to Issue passports to persons
desiring to go to the distressed districts Of
Asia Minor, Turkish officials there having
seized for the payment of taxes moneys
which had been sent for relief purposes.
Sir Philip Currie, British EN- mbassador to
Turkey, he said, had been instructed to
make inquiries.
Samuel Smith, Liberal me m Der for Flint
shire, then opened the debate on a resolu-
ton of sympathy with the Armenians.
Mr.. Curzon followed Mr.. Smith and IN
timated that the Government would &C.
cept the latter's motion. He argued that
the reasons against Great Britain's inde-
pendent action in the Armenian matter
were as much geographical as political.
Between any port at which Great Britain
could land an armed force and the scene
of the outrages there must be encountered
| 100000 Turkish troops.
| The crusaders of the nineteenth CEN
| tury, he added, must have practical as
| well as chlvalrous aspect. The Govern
ment would not in the future abate its
efforts in behalf of the Armenians. Re
| garding the past, Mr.. Curzon said be
| expected the House was convinced that
the Government could not have gone fur
| ther than it had.
| The debate lasted we'll into the night, the
House finally adopting the Armenian res
| olution without division.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 3.-With
reference to the report that the British
AMBASSADOR and the Venezuelan Minister
at the capital have entered into direct nego-
tiations for the settlement of the so-called
Uruan incident, which was learned" by
the Chicago Associated Press and tele-

Minister Andrade is also officially un-

for the invention thus set afloat. The
whole thing has been a matter of news
paper discussion only, and has never been
officially brought to the attention of either
