NEW YORK, March IA special to The
World from Caracas says: The ninety
days allowed Venezuela TO answer the
demand for indemnify for the arrest OF
English officials, Barns and Baker, on the
Uruan river in December 1894, has ex-
pred. The government will not speak
officially but the highest authority is Civ
en- for the statement that Venezuela re-
fused TO pay the indemnity, declaring
that the question Of the arrest and the
boundary dispute cannot be separated
To pay the indemnity would be TO rec
ognize British sovereignty over Venezue-
Ian territory. It Is believed here that un-
less Sir Julian Pauncefote and Minister
Andre can arrange matters satisfactorily
in Washin gton England will use force to
collect the money, treating the arrests as
distinct from the boundary.
