BRITAIN COMES DOWN.
Lord salisbury VIII Provide the u. =.
Venezuelan Commission with En-
aiand's Official Data.

Washington, Feb. .15.--Ambassado Bay
ard has informed Secretary Olnty by
cable that the British government has ac-
ceded to the request of the Venezuelan
commission to, supply all of the informa-
tion in Its possession on the bonn
Diary line between Venezuela and British
Guiana.
The declaration of Lord Salisbury in
the house of lords and Of Mr.. Balfour in
the house of commons are entirely salts
factory to the United States government,
and accord with information they had
already received from Mr.. Bayard that
British intentions were pacific. All that
it was necessary for our government to
do really was to demonstrate to Great
Britain that we were in earnest. This
we succeeded in doing, and the result is
graceful British retreat, but, nevertheless,
a retreat.
The editors of the London newspapers
who howled with derision when Justice
Brewer, the chairman Of the Venezuelan
commission, requested Mr.. Olney to
apply to Great Britain for evidences of
the British claims in Venezuela, must now
feel rather sick. The London newspapers
then declared Justice Brewers request to
be piece of impertinence, an assumption
of Yankee arrogance, and that the last
drop of English blood would be shed
before such an ignoble concession would
be granted. To-day, however, it is de-
monstrated to all the world that the
British government has conceded Justice
Brewers request, and that the British
papers in the case will be submitted to
the Venezuelan commission. The Amer
lean victory over Great Britain is just
as complete in 1896 as it was in 1918 and
1884.

While Major Lewellyn probably would
make no improper use of the warrants

and provocative of danger to everybody
concerned and to many who are not d.
rectly concerned.
