The report continues:
From the first settlements to 164S the Dutch
appear to have been the first. Early in the
sixteenth century they turned their attention
to Guiana and there Is abundant evidence from
Spanish sources that during the latter half OF
the century, prior to 1890. the Dutch established
themselves on the coast Of Guiana. In 1895 the
English explorer, Captain Charles Leigh. found
the Dutch established near the mouth OF the
Orlnoco a fact which s confirmed from Span
ish sources. The first settlement by Spain In
Guiana was In 1890 Then Antonio de la Hoz
Berrio founded San Thome de Guayana. on the

King OF Spain. dated April, 1896. shows that
the Spaniardc did not then hold any part Of
Guiana.
In the early part Of the seventeenth century
the various companies which were afterward
merged in the great West India Company were
employed In colonizing Guiana and had estab-
lished several sett .ements there before 1914.
and the existence Of these settlements was Of
fcially reported to Spain.
The following extracts from memoranda on
Guayana. which were deliberated upon by the
Spanish Privy Council. are dated 1914. They
say in regard to the Dutch settlements then ex-

DUTCH JURISDICTION TO THE oRINOcO.
In 1921 a charter Of the Dutch West India Com
pany granted by the States General OF Holland
and reafHrmed IN 1887 gave the Ornoco as the
limit OF the company's territorial Jurisdiction
From secret report, on the dominons OF Spain In
America addressed to the Spanish Government
under date OF few years before the conclusion
OF the treaty Of Munster, 1t appears that the
Dutch settlements extended from close to the
Amazones to the Orinoco. The whole Of this is
therefore clear: That prior to the date Of the
treaty OF Munster the Dutch settlements, to
the knowledge Of the Spanish Government. ex-
tended on the coast far as the Barima and
the river Amacur,. The treaty negotiated be-
tween Spain and the Netherlands in January.
164S. confirmed the Dutch in all the possessions
they had acquired In South America and gave
them liberty to max, fresh acquisitions wher-
ever the Spaniards we're not already established.
At the date of that treaty Spain had only one
settlement in Guiana San Thome de Guayana.
After the treaty OF Munster fresh privileges
were again issued by the States General to the
Dutch West Iadia Company. In which Orinoco
was again treated the limit of Dutch juris-
diction. From 164s to 1896 the Dutch colonies
on the Essequibo. Pomeroon and Morocco were
reported as fourshing greatly and attracting
free immigration bidding fair to become the most
fourishing OF tho tropical plantations in America
About 1864 Fathers Llaur and Vergara were sent
to explore Guiana with view to seeing whether
a Jesuit mission should be founded. They re-
ported that the province had been abandoned by
the Spaniards
In 1884 the Dutch commander OF Essequibo
recommended that a strong little post be estab-
lshed In Barima IN place Of a small watchhouse
BY 100 posts were established by the Dutch at
places along the coast and in the interior Three
Of the latter posts are named in the records one
being beyond the Cuyuni. In 17l4 the provisions
Of the treaty OF Munster expressly confirmed the
treaty Of Utrecht At that date Spain had no
no.sesson Of any territory In Guiana beyond
mart of the right bank Of the Orinoco. No Span
ish settlements or missions existed In any other
part of Guiana. The Dutch upon the coast ex-
tended along the Orinoco into the interior I
