ENGLAND IS WILLING

To Resume Friendly Neyoti.t,
 Venezuela to Settle the Rouns with
 pute, But it is Manifestly tbo rS Dis-
 the Latter to Make the Fir,k t,1Dy of
 A Strong Hint from the unitas 'ures--
 Needed. States
 LONDON, Jan. 14.-In its issue 4o, the Times, referring to the ad;.ay published by the New York Tifiai Timeo Sunday urging a direct arrangeroaa oa between Great Britain and yena-auls for the settlement of the d;sr~.a which article is supposed to have pa' inspired by President Cleveland zen n, say 1t rejoices to see, as the ti,na Li Hi come for reelection, there is ev,don.1s 1s a desire to revert to the plan for y roasty ing settlement to which Presidan. Cleveland gave his formal sanction ~ the very moment his own policy seen,ss as to render it impracticable. It save.
 What we have now to consider is .l. possibility of entering upon sucb na gotiations with Venezuela. If
 for Great Britain to take the initiat;.,s Several years ago Venezuela broke os diplomatic relations with Great Brita;n without any better reason than a a;t ference of opinion regardino .L. boundary. The foreign office can. not, therefore, take any s.a. in the matter until VenezpaIpp chooses to resume negotiations in the ordinary way, but Great Britain IS open to negotiations, as she has been throughout, on friendly terms. If reasonable conditions are kept in viaw an arrangement probably would mt be difficult to effect. The obstacle !. any exists, has been created by the bo lief of the Venezuelans that they will be supported with all the power of the United States in any demands tbev may make on Great Britain. and wa are sure this is a grotesque mistake The obvious course of the Venezuelans to adopt is to ask the United States to place her again in communication with Great Britain. If Mr. Cleveland acted on this request it would be friendly act to both parties, and would go far to restore the feelings of amity that subsisted between the United Kinp- dom and the United States before President Cleveland's message. But the key to the situation lies in the in. t1uence of the people of the United States over the Venezuelans. A strong hint from Washington to President Crespo would be opportune."
 The Times concludes by rejoicing over the request of the United States that Great Britain use her good offices in behalf of the Americans arrested in the Transvaal and the British reply thereto

A BATTLE NEAR HAVANA.
In Which the Rebels were Defeated After
 Freely Applying the Torch.

HAVANA Jan. 15.-The rebel force under command of Maximo Gomez att lacked the town of Bejucal, l5 miles south of Havana, but was repulsed by the government troops. Before they retired, the insurgents set fire to sev- eral houses on the outskirts of the town. They also set fire to the rail- way station, but the flames were ex- tinguished by eight men. A passen- ger train was destroyed. In the fight ing the troops lost two killed and ten wounded. The insurgent loss is un- known.
 Owing to the dismantled condition of the country through which the rail roads pass and the danger of attack by the insurgents, no trains are being dis patched in any direction. The author ities here have started popular sub. scription for the relief of plantation people whose crops have been destroyed byrebels. The sum of S61, ,O00 was raised the first day. Capt. Gen. Campos subscribed S2,OOO to the fund. and other officers also subscribed liberally. Thousands of people whose homes have been destroyed are flocking into the cities.

VlCKSBURG FIELD.

Efforts to be Made During the Present
 Session of Congress to Secure Necessary
 Legislation For the Establishment or
 National Military Park Embracing the
 Historic Battle Fields in the Vicinity or
 vicksburg, Miss.
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-The estab- lishment of national military park on the battlefelds in and around Vicksburg, Miss, is the purpose of a bill which will be introduced in the house this week The proposed park will cover an extent of territory one- eighth of mile wide by six miles in length, lying to the east and north of the city. The moving spirits in the affair are a number of Iowa veterans who have more than a general interest Tn the Vicksburg campaign, lnasmuch as 70 per cent. of all the Iowa troops Tn the service at that time served in the battles of Vicksburg. Through their efforts a meeting was held at Nieks- burg, in October last, which resulted in the formation of the Vicksburg Ma tional Military Park association, con- sisting of ex-federal and confederate soldiers, whose business is to preserve to posterity these historic battle-helds. The grounds can be purchased for $50, GOO, but the expense of restoring the battlefields to their original form can only be approximated. It is not believed. however, to be very consider able. The desire of the association is to preserve, as nearly as possible, the complete features of the battle fields, and in pursuance of this intention, some of the old guns which formed a part of the artillery then in use, and which are now stored at Rock Island, H., and at Norfolk. Va, will be placed, as far as possible, in their former positions.
 Capt. J. F. Merry, one of the state railway commissioners of Iowa, has been delegated by the department com- mauder of the G. A. R., department of Iowa, to come on to Washington and assist, as far as possible, in passing the bill through the house and senate. He will have the assistance of MT. Hull, also an Iowan. the chairman of the house military committee, to whom the bill will be referred, as we'll as many others interested. The measure also has the approval of the United Con- federate Veteran association, of which Senator Gordon, of Georgia, is the com mander.
