THE VENEzULEAH DISPUTE.
Rumurs of Bloodshed Near the Schomburg
Line Discredited.

Line Discredtted.
Georgetown, British GUIANA, June
23 Harrison, the British official whose
arrest by an armed force of Vene-
zuelans, June 10Th, became known here
yesterday, is the crown surveyor. The
affair has caused much indignation
and excitement, although nobody
seems surprised at the incident as the
Venezueans have repeatedly declared
that they intended to put a stop to
British roadmaking in or about the
disputed territory
1t is pointed out here that Harrison
was working with force of about 100
laborers and engineers, we'll within
the Schomburgk line, opening up u
road from the Barima to the Cuyuni
river. When notified by the com
mander Of a force of Venezuelan troops
to stop work he did SO, under protest,
and promptly entered into communica-
tion with Sir Augustus Hemming, the
new Governor of British Guiana. Gov.
Hemming notified Harrison to offer no
resistance to the Venezuelans, who
claimed the right to arrest foreigners
on the left bank of the Cuyuni river.
Harrison carried out his instructions
so far as known here. His arrest seems
to have followed upon the receipt of
additional instructions from Caracas
to the commander of the Venezuelan
forces.
This movement of the Venezuelan
troops and the arrest of Harrison, it is
said, led TO the alarming reports of the
advance of Venezuelan troops into the
disputed territory, which rumors were
followed by the circulation OF stories
Of sanguinary encounters between the
British and Venezuelans. The reports
Of hloodshed, however, are not believed
at Georgetown.
