be likely to prove a surprise to both
Venezuela and the United States. ana
history.
1T is proved by the ciearest Of docu-
mentary evidence that the first settle
ment Of the Spaniards on the Orinoco
river was made In 1895. and was organized
with the object OF forestalling the arrival
OF Sir Walter Raleigh. who had been
surveying the regions and had promised
to return and settle them.
The correspondence In regard to the
founding OF the Dutch West India Com
pany is also a direct consequence OF the
British contention The greatest sur
prise for Nenezuelans will be the puhlica-
ton OF secret papers exposing the In
trigue between Spain and Portugal In
1850. having for its object the driving
out OF the Dutch or the hemming OF
them in on the seashore.
IF the Dutch were not in possession -
asks the News. where was the necss-
sity OF intriguing to get them out?' The
News intimates that the negotiation Of
the limits upon which Venezuela now
bases her title was the outcome OF this
intrigue.
The paper also gives details Of subse-
quent matters which prove, according to
the British contention. the governments
right Of conquest over both the Spanish
and the Dutch.

Lively Bidding at Port Townsend.

them Hong chong. the capitalist. were
not taken into the combine When the
sale took place Hong Chong and friends
were there TO bid and the result was that
all the opium was sold at an average OF

OF cheap quality. the result was that
