That Is All That Is known-POssib;lity
That She May Want = Change in the
Boundary Agreement.
Washington, Dec. 5.-Minister And
rade. of Venezuela, will sail from La
Guayara, the seaport of Caracas, on
the 10th inst, arriving at New York
about the 18th and coming direct to
Washington to present in person to Oh
ney the position of the Venezuelan au-
thorities so far as determined at pres
ent on the British-Venezuela settle
ment. James j. Storrow. who accom-
panied him, is expected to return az
the same time. They went to Caracas
for the special purpose of laying before
President Crespo and his associates a
copy Of the Olney-Salisbury agreement.
Their carry return is a great surprise.
Since their departure little has come
from Venezuela further than a gen.
eral statement that the outlook was
promising for an acceptance of the
agreement and treaty. Now that they
have determined to return at this early
day without awaiting the assembling
of the Venezuelan congress it is felt
that their meeting with President Cres-
po has developed some definite line of
action on the part of Venezuela.
Venezuela May Want Change.
So far as can be learned at the state
department the nature of the informA-
ton which Senior Andrade will bring
has not been anticipated by advice to
the department. The only Information
available is the brief cablegram an
nouncing his early return. This was
sent from Caracas on Thursday. From
the circumstances attending the mis-
| sion of Andrade and Storrow it is felt
that their return means either one of
| two things, viz: A satisfactory under
| standing. or else a desire on the part of
the Venezuelan authorities to secure
| some change in the terms of the agree
| ment.
Silence Causes Much Conjecture.
The complete silence Of the Vene-
| zuelan officials up to the present time
| has been a matter of considerable sur
| prise and conjecture among officials
here. The newspapers of Caracas and
Maracaibo, the two principal cities
have been received here. but no men
ton is made of the arbitration agree
| ,rnent, although they date for about q
| week after the public announcement
of the terms of the agreement. Ap.
parently the only topic of discussion In
| Venezuela at this time is the election
of president to succeed General Cres
| po. who Is ineligible under the consti
tuition for reelection. 1t had been ex
| pected that speedy action would b,
| taken to have the Venezuela congress
pass upon the agreement.
