VENEZUELA SPECK OF WAR
British Press Grows Warlilke Over
the Arrest of 1Lr. Harrison.

London, June 23.=The Graphic, COM
menting upon the advices from George
town as to the arrest by the Venezu-
elan authorities of Mr.. Harrison, the
British official in charge Of the labor
ers, says. LIT seems that Venezuela
overthrows the American commission
and is DESTROYS of settling with us by
the ordeal of battle. The duty of the
British is clear Reparation must be
Immediately demanded and enforced.
Washington, June 23.-No official adj
vices have been received in diplomatic
circles of the arrest of Mr.. Harrison as
reported in the above dispatch Sur
prise is not expressed at the conflict
Of authority, as the opinion is such
that difficulties may be expected as
long as the boundary question remains
unsettled The affair is similar in
many respects to Uruan incident of a
year ago.
London, June 2s.@The Globe this
afternoon commenting upon the arrest
Of the crown surveyor Of British Gull
ana by Venezuelan troops, says. THE
Venezuelan government has repeated
an insult to Great Britain with which
even American spread eagleism could
not sympathize. 1t looks as though
president Crespo was thinking of the
approach of the presidential election in
the United States and was anxious to
IOEce q GOllSlOn with Great Britain be-
fore the question has lost its election
eering value"
The St. James Gazette. referring to
the same subject, says: This last i'm
pertinezce is a repetition of the Uruan
and other affairs during the last half
Of the century, and yet Venezuela has
never apologized. Are we waiting to
see the opinion which the American
committee viii reach upon the various
historic questions which it is investi-
eating in a languid way? If we are
going to ignore the insoIence Of Car
acas out of regard for the susceptible
ties Of Washington, our patience viii
not want for exercise
The secretary of state for the colo
MES, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, was
questioned today regarding the action
which the government would take in
regard to the arrest of Mr. Harrison,
the crown surveyor of British Guiana,
by Venezuelan troops, Mr.. Chamber
lain declined to say anything upon the
subject and give any hint as to what
the government intended to do in the
matter.
