CLEVELAND TO CREsro.
Grover Gives the Foreigner Little
Advice.


CHICAGO. Jan. pa Washington. D.
c., special says:
President Crespo, of Venezuela, has
been advised by President Cleveland to
make an effort to re-establish diplomatic
relations with Great Britain and the
president of the Venezuelan republic has
the subject under consideration. The
suggestion was made by Secretary Oh
ney to Venezuela's minister here, Senior
Andrade, and by him communicated to
his government by cable. There is a
strong belief that diplomatic relations be
tween Great Britain and Venezuela will
be established and the exchange of nego-
tiatOins Will be agreed TO upon a basis
which includes also an agreement to
submit the boundary question TO arbi-
tration- The first intimation that such
a course would be satisfactory to the
British government was given by Sir
Julien Pauncefote. of the British en-
bassy, and Secretary Olney. after CON
sutation with the president, who
promptly acted upon it. Diplomatic rela-
tons between Great Britain and Vene-
zuela have been suspended since 1887.
