WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE British
government, according to the most re.
cent and apparently inspired utter
ances Of Its semi-otlicial organs, has
turned to the policy Of bringing about
resumption Of diplomatic relations
with the South American republic, and
then proceeding to direct negotiations
with the republic to determine the
boundary, as the most feasible path BY
which it can emerge from its present
position without practical retraction Of
Lord Salisbury's refusal to arbitrate.
But by the precedents established
by her most distinguished authorities
and because Of the terms Of her ma.
tioual constitution 1t is impossible for
Venezuela to compromise the boundary
claims by any treaty or convention.
