London Chronicle Seeing England's
Case Made Hopeless,
Is Already Figuring 10 Wiggls Out OF Scrape
al Least Cost.

London, Jan. "A special representa-
tive of the Daily Chronicle, now in Wash
ington, cables that paper that he has oh
tanned from a source which he Is pledged
not to reveal, the official unpublished cor
| rcspondence exchanged by Great Britain
and Venezuela between November, 1910.
when Sir Robert Schomburgk was np-
pointed to limit the frontier of British
Guiana, and April lsi2, when England
removed the boundary posts set up by Sir
Robert Schomburgk
After giving the documents in full. the
Chronicle remarks that nothing indicates
the condition asserted by Lord Salisbury,
and adds:
III the above documents are genuine,
and their source excludes suspicion, the
Schomburgk line Is proved worthless as u
basis any territorial claim whatever. "
Commenting editorially on the subject,
the Chronicle says:
I'VE are bound to say, assuming, rs We
are bound to assume, the accuracy of our
representative citations, that they
vitiate Lord Salisbury's second dispatch
to Secretary Olney, and render it neoes-
sary for lis to revise our whole view Of the
situation.
Clearly there can now BIO no question
regarding the Schomburgk line ms q ramrod
thrust between Guiana and Venezuela.
In II word, England and the United states
have way out. We look to the states
men on both sides to enlarge it until
there is found complete escape from q
situation Of the most peril"

JAMESON CAPTURED.

Forced to Surrender.
Received ard Oisregarded Two Orders
to Return to British Soil.
The Affair Causing no Little Excitement in
England and Germany.

London, Jan. "A dispatch has been
received at the foreign office announcing
an engagement between DR.. Jameson )
force and the Beers, before Johannesburg
and that the former was compelled to sur
render. 1t was sent by Sir Jacobus A.
DeWet British agent at Pretoria, capital
of the South African Republic.
The following dispatch was received.
late this afternoon, from Sir Hercules
Robinson, governor of Cape Colony:
Capetown, S.25 p. NJ. A messenger
overlook DIR. Jameson, 10 miles the other
side of Eian's river. The messenger
brought back verbal message that the
dispatches received by Dr. jameson would
be attended to. The force was saddling
up. and at once proceeded eastward. DIR.
Jameson thus received and disregardc,!
both my messages.
n Sir Jacobus DeWet, British agent at
Pretoria, telegraphs this morning that it
would have been impossible for him to
have gone to DIR. jameson. If II had been
possible his mission would have been
futile, as the fighting commenced at 4
O'Clock, yesterday afternoon.
The messenger referred to by Sir Her
cules Robinson was one sent hy DR..
Jameson with orders instructing the
latter to return to British territory and
abandon his aggressive movement against
the Beers.
The Pail Mall Gazette asserts that 1000
armed men are IN readiness at Buluwayo
to march into the Transvaal and are prob
Vbly now EN- route for that territory.
The directors of the British South
Africa Co. held a meeting, to-day, to con
slider the dispatch sent by Mr.. Chamber
lain, ordering the immediate disavowal
by the company Of any knowledge of or
responsibility for DR.. Jameson's act In
leading an armed body of men into the
Transvsal The directors profess to be
entirely without knowledge of Jameson Is
movements.
The report that the Queen has ordered
the Duke of Fife to withdraw from the
directory of the British South Africa Co.
is denied.

patch from its Berlin correspondent:

is some reason to believe that Germany is

DISAPPOINTING
Is the General Effect of Make
up of the Commission.
Names Of international Reputation
Would Give Better Satisfaction.
English Papers Disposed 10 See That Commits
sion Has Fair Play.

Washington, Jan. 2.-The members Of
the House about. the capitol, today,
showed only the most lapguid interest in
the Presidents Venezuelan commission
The principal regret expressed was that
the President had not selected men of inter
national reputation, such as ex-Minister,
Phelps and Lincoln 1t was felt that such
namts would carry greater weight In
Great Britain and on the continent. thar
those Of other men who might be more
renowned as jurists, but whose regulations
are local.
The fact developed, today, that strong
influence was brought to bear on Score
tary Olney to create a commission of five
persons, two of whom should be distin
guished foreigners and the remainder
Americans of equal prominence.
One of the names suggested was Prof.
James K. Bryce, whose History of the
American Commonwealth is standard
work among the English speaking people
on both sides of the Atlantic. 1t was
represented to Secretary Olney that if Mr..
Bryce and some well-knOwn German, fol-
example, could be induced to accept places
on the commission, its conclusions would
be accepted with much more favor by Eu-
ropeans than those where the mem bers
were distinctively American.
Some Repu blicans are disposed to criti-
CHE the Presidents selection of two col
lege professors, since, it was commended,
gentlemen holding such offices are never
conspicuous, either as lawyers or
geographers.
1t Is felt that Messrs. White and Gil
man are not favorable to the Monroe doc
trine, although 1t is believed that their
attitude upon this question will not in
fiuence their work in determining the
divisional line between British Guiana
and Venezuela. 1t must be confessed that
the commission does not give the salts
faction expected.
~ would have liked it better had there
been couple Of names there that do not
appear, but believe that the commission
is composed of men who will do their
duty we'll and thoroughly. said Senator
Frye Of Maine. "They will command the
respect Of the whole country"
Senator Hale Of Maine, thought it q
fairly good commission, but disappointing
in the omission Of some national names
mentioned in connection with it. He
thought the commission would have been
stronger if such names as Edmunds,
Phelps or Lincoln had been named.
