THE URUAN INCIDENT.

Washington, May 49, Notwhhhstand.
Ing reports from Caracas to the con
trary, it can be stated that the cele-
brated Uruan incident has not yet
been closed and that no indemnity had
yet been paid by Venezuela to Great
britain. Negotiations are proceeding.
however, through the German Minis
ter at the Venezuelan capital but 50
far 1t has not been possible to arrange
the terms Of the indemnity. The diff
ticulty appears to lie, not in the re-
fusal of Venezuela to pay an indem-
nifty, but in the avoidance of a recog-
nition in the payment of all language
that, by any possibility, might be con-
strued into an admission of British
title TO the Uruan country, where the
incident occurred.

other words, he has declared his in
tention of leading the South Carolina
delegates in a bolt from the Chicago
convention if it's platform should not
contain a fat-footed declaration for

out pledges for silver.
