Great Britain for a treaty OF general
arbitration covering all subjects OF DIFF
ference between the two English
speaking nations. present and prospcc-
tive. has advanced TO n stage OF conn
pleteness far beyond what the public
has reason to believe. The purpose of
Secretary Olney and Sir Julian Paunce-
fote Is to conclude the negotiations
within the next three weeks All of the
substantial features Of the treaty have
been greed on. From the present status
OF the negotiations Il Is believed the
following VIII be the important term.
Of the treaty:
First-A term OF Eve years from the
date Of the exchange OF notifications
within which the treaty shall be opera
tive.
Second-A court Of arbitration of sig
members. three to be drawn from the
judiciary OF the United States and
the other three from the judiciary OF
Great Britain.

bunal of all differences between the
two nations. now pending or TO arise

TO include the Derhing sea question or
the Venezuela question. now before in
dependent commissions. hut TO include
the question of the boundary between
Alaska and British North America.

tons between the two English speak
ing nations. and In the Judgment OF

most important document OF n peaceful
character In the history OF their mu-
tual dealings. The president made q
passing illusion to the subject I'm his
recent message. IL had been under
stood. however. that the main purpose
of Olney was to reach an agreement
as TO Venezuela. and that having ac-
complished this the larger question 81
arbitrating all differences would require
considerable time for its compict. de-
velopment. But the negotiations have
proceeded with surprising unanimiiy,
so that those engaged In the work con.
fdently believe that Il win be fully
agreed upon and the signatures Of the
contracting parties placed To the docu.
ments within three wccka.

II Il Docs II Will "C1car thc Beard" Of All

This will give fully two months Cor
the consideration and ratification of the
treaty at the prcsen; session OF the
United States senate. and uniess some
unexpected obstacle should arise In
that quarter there r. every reason to
anticipate that the treaty may b. made
effective before the close OF the pres mt
administration. AT least this Is the con-
fident hope and expectation of those
most concerned In the negotiations
Aside from the previously referred to
points Il. car be stated In n general
way that the terms OF the Treaty are
such as to clear the board 81 all the
vexatious questions which have ariscn
between the United States and Great
Britain.
Itissaid by those familiar with them that
the Alaskan boundary will be the only
pending controversy likely to come
within the scope OF the new treaty.
The main purpose OF the treaty. how
ever, Is to guard against future dif-
ferences threatening n rupture. and in
this the negotiators believe that the
terms of the instrument will be such
as to avoid all possibility OF interna-
tional conflict for the future. This is
regarded as the main achievement. IL
Is one said to be peculiarly advantage
Gus to the commercial interests Of both
countries. assuring them against ru-
mors Of war or the serious prospect Of
war.
The reasons for limiting the treaty
to five years are doubtless 20 place

DIFFICULTIES ARE NOT SERIOUS.
Venezuela Only Wants Some Minor
Changes In That Treaty.


Washington. Dec. lit is learned
here that no serious difficulties have
been encountered in the Venezuelan
boundary negotiations since they were
transferred to Caracas 1t is true that
Andrade and Storrow expected to sail
for the United States from La Guayra
Thursday last, after having completed
their mission, which was to secure the
approval Of Venezuela's government to
the terms arranged in Washington, but
their detention is explained by the fact
that the Venezuelan executive, after
having given its approval. found that
some amendments OF the proposed
treaty were desirable.
These, it is understood. are not of
great importance. and are rather in
the nature of additional safeguards
than Of amendments Of the articles of
agreement already arranged As the
matter thus far has not reached the
treaty stage. and only the heads of
agreement have been indicated in the
memorandum between Secretary Oiney
and Lord Salisbury. there are NO
technical obstacles to the Proposed

LAURADA TRYING TO RAISE A ROW.
Notorious Filibustcr's Purpose in Visiting
Valencia, Spain, as Alleged.

Notorious Fiiibustcr's Purpose in Visiting
Valencia, Spain, as Alleged.
Washington, Dec. IA cable from
Valencia, Spain, says that Theodore
Mertens, the United States consul at
Grao. the seaport Of Valencia. has in
formed journalist of his intention to
proceed to sea and meet the United
States steamer Laurada. formerly en-
gagged in fiilibustering expeditions to
Cuba, whose reported intention to 60
to Valencia has caused apprehension
of trouble. Mertens says that IL the
captain of the Laurada rejects his adj
vice not to proceed to Valencia he will
order him in the name of the United
States government not to anchor in the
port Of Grao.
1t is claimed here by the Spanish
minister, and circumstances seem to
corroborate the claim, that the purpose
of the Laurada in going to Valencia is
to bring on an attack upon her which
will involve Spain and the United
States in war.
The circumstances aforesaid are:
That the people Of Valencia are noted
for their excitability on the subject Of
Spanish American relations, it being
there that the American consulate was
attacked; that the Laurada's pretends
that she wants a cargo of oranges,
which would not require a landing at
Valencia, that sort OF cargo being OBJ
tainable in Italian ports where she had
previously landed: that she need not
land there for coal as that is easily OBJ
tainable elsewhere-easier than at VAL
encia, and that generally there IS alb
solutely no reason for her landing at

term of employment as possible. while
