VENEZUELAN GRATITUDE.

The president of Venezuela, in his
message to congress- expressed graft
tudc at the position taken by the United
States in regard to the boundary dis
pute and undoubtedly he voiced the
sentiment of the people. There is every
reason to believe that the Nenezuelans
feel most friendly toward this country
as they certainly ought TO, but
the best way in which they can
demonstrate their friendship and
gratitude is in pursuing policy
which will not aggravate the is
sue between their country and Eng
land and render more difficult the eff
forts of this country to secure an amica
BILE and Just settlement of the dispute.
There have been from time to time in
dications of disposition on the part
of the NeneZuelans to intensity the is
sue. They have shown spirit of inn
patience and tendency to foment
trouble There is an element among
them which would like to discredit
President Crespo and the government
in this matter and inaugurate some
sort of aggressive policy. The people
Of the United States are very earnest
in the determination that no injustice
shall be done Venezuela. but they are
not ready to support that country in
any course not entirely consistent with
our attitude. or the effect of which
would be to aggravate present or raise
new complications. President Crespo
and his colleagues in the government
undoubtedly understand this and there
is reason to believe that while he re-
mains in power there will be nothing
done to disturb the chances of peace

Owing to ignorance or neglect Of the
village clerk. Valley now finds itself in
an embarrassing predicament, with no
money with which to carry on local
government. There is nothing left for
the village officers to do but perform
their sworn duties and await time
when legal compensation can be given
them. 1t is needless to say that the
citizens Of Valley will hereafter exercise
more discrimination in making choice

On things he felt should soon be done.

Considered necessary to Protect

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26-The State de-
partment has been advised by United States
Minister Baker Of the threatened revolution
in Nicaragua and the minister has also asked
to have a United States war ship stationed
at COrinto, although the officials will not
confirm or deny this. Probably the reason
for declining to admit the fact Is that the
department has found itself, after communi-
eating with the Navy department. unable
to comply Immediately with the minister's
request. owing to the absence OF any United
States naval vessels from the vicinity Of
Corinto. Unfortunately. the United States
steamer Alert, which had been at San Jose,
in Guatemala. sailed from that port yes
terday for Acapulco. Mex, and so go
beyond the immediate reach of the depart
ment. She should. however reach Acapulco
by Saturday or Sunday and she will then
receive orders to turn southwark again and
go to Cornto. Although this will be done
in Difference to Minister Bakers request, 1t
IL not believed at the State or Navy depart
ments that an emergency exists in Nicaragua
or, at any rate, one that could be met by
