LONDON. April p. "A dispatch from

Venezuelan dispute Is still In a dangerous
state. and that no agreement as 70 prin-
ciples has been reached. Negotiations be-
tween England and the United States"
says the Times's correspondent. ARE at q

the deadlock will be removed. England re-
jected the plan l explained in February

joint commission OF repres sntatives OF

understood that Lord Salisbury could not
overcome his repugnance to the possible
reference OF the dispute 10 arbitration. In
stead of continuing the negotiations Lord
Salisbury submitted an unacceptable draft
OF a general arbitration treaty, from which
Ii Is understood the Venezuela dispute Is
excluded. This delay is most perilous. The
Washington executive still shows a strong
desire for an honorable and reasonable
agreement, but it takes two to make a
treaty"
The Times says, In an editorial, that IL
cannot share 10 the full extent the gloomy
anticipations of its correspondent In Wash
ington regarding the Venezuela dispute.
and thinks that Lord Salisbury's monaco
ceptance of Americas oyertures does not
amount to an absolute rejection. I'm re-
gard to the draft of the arbitration treaty"
the Times continues, 1T Is gratifying TO
know that a counter proposal. framed on
different lines. is now on its way from
Washington to London. Anyway, Ii should
not be assumed that II the treaty is con-
cluded IL would be impossible TO bring Ven
ezuela within Its scope. We know that the
