THE BRITISH BLUE BOOK.
Contentions in the Venezuelan Matter
Made Public.

Contention. in the Venezuelan Matter
Made Public.
LONDON, March 9.-The British blue
book on the Venezuela boundary dis
pute was laid on the table of the house
Of commons during the day. The fol-
lowing is a summary of the position Of
Great Britain as published in the work
referred to. which is the work of Sir
Frederick Pollock:
First-Long prior 20, and at the time
of the treaty Of Munster in l646, the
Dutch founded settlements in various.
parts of British Guiana, particularly
on the coast.
Second-The only Spanish settlement
prior to them was Santo Home de
Guayana.
Third-During the whole period
from l64S to, 1896 the Dutch had unin.
terrupted possession Of the entire coast
line and the River Corentin to Barima.
Fourth-During the same period they
had explored the upper portions OF
nearly all the rivers and made many
settlements in adjacent districts.
Fifth-Prior to 1923 they was no set
Element of Spaniards except Santo
Home de Guayana.
Extent of Spanish Domains
Sixth-Between 1724 and 1865 Ca
puchin missions were established south.
ward of the Orinoco and gradually ex-
tended eastward towards the Dutch
territory, the furthest point occupied
by the S~paniards being Tummeremo,
founded about 1888.
Seventh-Before 1896 the Dutch had
settled far up the CuyunI, a Dutch post
was established near the Yuruary, and
the Dutch had full control Of the whole
basin Of the Cuyuni.
Eighth-Except for the settlement Of
Santa Home de Guayana and their
missions, the Spaniards exercised no
authority in the territory now in dis
pute.
Ninth-Great Britain, on becoming
possessor of the colony, succeeded to all
the rights Of the Dutch.
Tenth-After 1896 Great Britain ex-
tended her settlements and exercised
over the territory originally claimed by
the Dutch all the rights whereby ma
tons usually indicate a claim to terri.
tory.
Never Claimed the Territory.
Observation-Disclosures Spain nor Venez.
uela, after the latter had declared her
independence, at any time had posses
sion of or dominion over the territory
in question.
Twelfth-Great Britain, while main
tanning her just rights, has consistently
shown q desire to make a fair arrange,
ment with Venezuela in regard to the
boundary.
Thirteenth-The claim Of Venezuela
that her territory extends to the Esse'
quibo is based ON conditions in nowise
supported by facts and cannot be JUST
fed on any reasonable ground
The foregoing thus establishes Great
Britain in her strict right to be emit
tied to the territory extending t.
Barima, including the water sheds O
the Essequibo, Cuyuni. Yuruari, Pc
maroon, Waini and Barima.
The blue book contains nine maps
prepared in order to illustrate the vari
Gus boundary lines referred to in thu
correspondence.
All the London dailies editorially
comment on the Venezuelan blue book
praising its compilers and hoping /
will be widely read by Americans

When Italy in 1889 assisted Nenelek,
chief of Shoa, the Southern province Of
Abyssinla, to overthrow Mangascla, the
legal successor Of old King John of
Abyssiania, aud received therefor the
seaport OF Massowah and some tributary
territory she was richly repaid for all she
did and had a good thing for the future,
had she been content. But when she
went grasping after more territory and
finally aggravated her old ally, Emperor
Menelek. she wrought her loom SO far
as foreign colonization Is concerned. The
recent disastrous defeat has ruined a
chivalrous army, produced anarchy at
home and, if report be true, caused the
assassination Of Italy's late premier, one
of the ablest statesmen Of Europe. 1t is
to be hoped this report will not be con.
firmed. A short historical sketch Of this
valorous African people will not be amiss
at this time: The people Of Abysslnia
are OF Semitic origin, and probably M
grated from southern Arabia during the
first century. A. d. They reject with
scorn the name "A~byssinian," signifyine
"Mongrel" applied by the Arabs as
term OF r~eproach, calling themselves
Gees" which means Freedmen. Re
ceiving Christianity in the fourth
century, and then by the Moslem con
quest of North Africa cut of from

Menelek, ruler OF the southern province
OF Shoa, proclaimed himself Negus, and
his claims were supported by the
Italians, who had just obtained posses
sion of Massowah, on the FED Sea. In
return, Italy received territory and
valuable concessions. Now she will be
driven back to the Red Sea and doubtless
hemmed in within the narrow precincts
OF Massowah.
