SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT.
Presidents Message Will Announce

New York, oct IA Herald special from
Washington says: President Cleveland, in
his next annual message to Congress will
be able to state that q definite understand
ing has bee n rea' ed with Great Britain for
the amciable settlement of the long-pend
ing Venezuelan boundary dispute. There
are details yet to be perfected, but none of
them is OF such u nature as to in the least
endanger the prospects for the final dis
position OF the case and the restoration of
diplomatic relations between Great Britain
and Venezuela during the present term of
President Cleveland.
Immediately upon the arrival OF Amassa
dor Paunccfote the negotiations between
him and Secretary Olney for final agreement
upon all the details for arbitration will he
resumed, and it is the expectation of the
officials of the State Department that they
will be finally closed in time for the Presi-
dent to make announcement of the fact in
his annual message to Congress. Sir Julian
Pauncefote will offer greater concessions
than have ever been made by Great Britain.
1t is understood that the decision of the
arhitrat ion tribunal to be appointed will
be made final, even including the settled
districts, but there will be an understanding
that subjects of the country which is unsuc-
settled districts sh all be protected in all
Their rights. and guarantees will be made
to carry this into effect.
