VENEZUELAN BLUE BOOK.

Is Composed of Documents and COrro-
spondence on Disputed Boundary.
London, March Z. - The expected
Venezuelan blue book, which is enti-
tied Documents and Correspondence
Relating to the Question of the Bound
airy of Guiana and Venezuela" was
issued by the government Friday night.
The volume consists of 443 folio pages
with separate book containing nine
maps. The book opens with 40 pages
comprising a preliminary statement
dealing with the history of the terri
tories from 1920 until the issuance Of
her majesty's memorandum to Vene-
zuela in March, 1890. The statement
concludes as follows:
The above examination shows that
the main grounds upon which the claim
Of Venezuela is supposed to be based.
so far as it has been presented to Great
britain at different times during the last
80 years, have been as follows:
First-The original discovery and the
first exploration of the South American
continent by Spain, which are clearly ir-
relevant.
Second-The bull Of Pope Alexander VI.
which cannot be considered as having any
real bearing upon the question.
InlrQ-Ine alleSaClOn tnat the OCCupa-
ton of Guiana by the Dutch was a viola
ton of the treaty of Munster.
This allegation has been shown to be I'M
founded.
Fourth-Possession and occupation by
the Spaniards Of the territory south of the
Orinoco, including the rivers of Barima
Morocco and Pomeroon.
1t has been shown that the only Spanish
settlements there at any time were San
Thome de Guyana, which was situated on
the south bank of the Orinoco, and which
had been moved from time to time higher
up the river, as it was destroyed by the
British and Dutch successfully. and the
Capuchin settlements. situated between
the Orinoco and the Tumerimo, as has
been previously described.
Fifth--That the Dutch had never had any
possessions north Of the Essequibo.
This statement has been shown to be
equally erroneous, as perusal of the whole
diplomatic correspondence will show that
the British government. while insisting
that the Just claims Of Great Britain
would entitle her to boundary practically
embracing the whole water shed Of tho
EsseQuibo, the Cuyuni, the Yuruari the
Pomeroon, the Waini and the Barima, has
been willing to agree to boundary with
in those limits, which would give Venezue-
la far more territory than that to which
she can show any title.

Rome, March 5.-The Kingdom OF
Italy is IN condition of excitement,

ceived from Massowah adds to the grav,
ity OF the disaster to the Italian army

Rome, March 6. = Long before the
hour of opening the chamber of dep
uties, enormous crowds of people
thronged the vicinity and practically
surrounded the building. AS time
went on, the crowds increased and the
excitement of the populace grew more
intense. The streets in the vicinity
of the chamber were patrolled by
troops, who experienced difficulty In
making their way through the packed
thoroughfares. The members of the
ministry in proceeding to the chamber,
evaded the crowd AS much as possible.
The sitting of the chamber was of
the widest character, the uproar be-
ginning as soon rs the chamber was
called to order. Signor Crispi an

titled to any part of the estate. Mr..
Kittson died May 10, 1888, and this and
other suits have all this time prevented
the division of the estate. The decision
lifts the last cloud from the vast estate
and permits it's division among the
heirs.

nounced the resignation of the cabinet,
which announcement was received with
prolonged and passionate applause.
The members of the extreme left
shouted insults at Signor Crispi, but
the premier preserved his temper, and
when he was enabled to obtain a hear
ing declared with great firmness that
the ministry, until the nomination of
their successors, would retain office and
maintain public order. Ks
In announcing the designations of
the ministry in the chamber of dep
uties, Signor Crispi stated that the
designations had been accepted by King
Humbert.
The sitting of the chamber ended III
great disorder. Meanwhile the crowds
outside were shouting, cheering, ours
ing, kissing, bowling and grooming.
Thursday night thT demonstrations
against Signor Crisri became more en-
ergetic, and the outlook was very threat
ening. Great crowds gathered in the
streets, and socialists and radical ora
tors, mounting steps, boxes or any
thing that would lift them above the
level of the mobs, passionately ha-
rangued them, pointing out that all
the evil that had befallen Italy came
from the maladministration of the pres
ent cabinet. The prime minister and
lis supporters were violently assaileG,
and the crowds were worked up into a
condition bordering on frenzy. AT this
point the police, in force, INTERVIEWED
and broke the meetings up, not. how
ever, without great difficulty.
Later crowd marched to the resi-
dence of Signor Cr:spi and made a
demonstration before it. Every OPP
probrious term in the Italian language
vas hurled at him, but no attention was
! aid to the crowd by those in the house.
Then the mob marched to the offices of
the newspapers that support the gov
eminent and shattered the windows
with stones, bricks and clubs. In driv-
ing the rioters away, several policemen
were quite severely injured.
The disturbance caused by the news
of the great disaster and the conse-
quent display of Indignation against
the government has been greatly in
creased by the calling out of the army
reserves of the class OF 1872, which calls
$4,000 additional men into active serv-
ice. The great majority of these re-
servists are married men whose fam
lilies will be deprived of their chief or
only support for an indefinite period.
Thus at Milan and other places serious
rioting has occurred when the reservists
prepared to obey orders and in many
cases they have been prevented by force
from leaving their towns. Railroad
cars have been demolished, rails torn
up and telegraph wires cut and the
police have been beaten and stoned into
helplessness. The soldiery have been
attacked, the bayonets have been free
ly used and men and women, frenzied
with wrath, have thrown themselves
on the naked steel of the troops. Large
numbers of arrests have been made, the
troops everywhere are either confined
to barracks or occupying the streets,

The New York Bible society has
had good year financially and spir-
itually. There have been 17,771 copies
OF the Bible distributed among the pub
lie institutions, churches and Sunday
schools, 1858 to families and indi-
viduals, 406 to individuals at the Office
OF the society, $40 by the postal card

removal of the Southern Presbyterian
