THEY APPEAL TO US
BRITAIN ASKS THE UNITED
STATES TO INTERVENE.
Requests Us to Use Our Friendly
Offices to Secure the Release of the
Imprisoned Grown Surveyor, Har.
rison. ia Venezuela.
Britain ADpeals to Us.


A dispatch to tie New York Herald
sador Paunc.fote and Minister Andrade Of
Venezuela, called separately on Secretary
Olney and conferred with HIM touching
the arrest by Venezuelan troops of British
Surveyor Harrison on the British Nene-
cue an boundary. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Pauncetote, under instructions, re-
Quested the friendly intervention Of the
United States to secure Harrison's release.
This course was necessary, as dlplo-
matte relations do not exist between
Great Britain and Venezuela. The action
is similar to our request TO Great Britain
to look after the interests OF John Hays
Hammond at Pretoria, where we have
no representative. 1t Is believed
Olney has already taken steps TO com-
municaie with Venezuela Oh the subject.
Mr.. Andrade's visit, ia tue absence OF
official news from Venezuela, led TO the
expression OF opinion by the minister that
the affair had been magnitied and was
lacking in serious ~indignity or wrong 10
the British.
1t was the opinion of those best qualified
to judge that the arrest OF the crown sur
veyor was not the direct act OF the Gov
ernmen Of Venezuela. but was due TO the
hasty and probably irresponsible act OF
some local agents, acting under a mlsap-
prehenson, and that when proper repre-
sensations were made to the Government
at Caracas, the latter Will apologize.

Why not generate your power from
