tached is one proposed by Secretary
Olney, that the title TO bona fide set
tiers to their present holdings shall,
in case the arbitrators' awaSd places
them under the jurisdiction owVenezu-
Ella, be decided by the laws governing
private title. The British law pro-
vides, among other things, that the

barred from confiscating property in
