URGES ARBITRATION.
EnsIand's Venezuelan claims Not Sub
stantiated by Evidences.

EneIand's Venezuelan claims Not SUBJ
Stimulated by Evidence.
LONDON, Oct, 17.-Sir Edward Clarke,
@. c., conservative member of parlia-
ment for Plymouth, and who was So
licitor general in Lord Salisbury's
previous ministry, in speaking public
" at York, expressed great anxiety
over the outcome of the Venezuelan
dispute in view of the approach of
the presidential election. He said the
decision of the American boundary
commission would be against En-
gland, not because it was a hostile
commission, but because, he believed,
no honest and impartial arbitrator or
commission could decide in favor of
England's claims upon the evidence.
''We have not recognized the COM
mission" he said. I'VE were not
called upon to negotiate treaties with
the United States with regard to Ven-
ezuela. but if the blue book contains
ing the Venezuelan brief represented
the real and moderate contention
of Venezuela there ought to be inn
mediate consent to arbitration. En-
gland should be prepared to accept
the consequences of such arbitration in
the limitation line, which, after all,
matters very little.
IF the United States attempts to
force upon us the ultimate decision oh
their commission, passionate resent
ment would be aroused here, serious
for both countries. That is why We
are taking what conceive TO be a
zArinuR risk ~

THE ADMINISTRATION

May Interfere II Spain Doesn't Soon End
the Cuban Wharf.-The President win Not
Hesitate TO Act II Is Should Become
ApparenE that the Spanish Are Unable
the Year.
NEW YoRK, Oct l7.-A Herald spe-
ciaI from Washington says:
High officials of the administration
agree that If the Spanish government
does not succeed IN crushing the Cuban
instruction by the first of the year it
Independently or in conjunction with
the other powers. to stop the war.
A member of the cabinet said,
Thursday. that the president fully
appreciated the gravity Of the
situation in Cuba, and the great
responsibility imposed upon the
United States as the great
power upon which would devolve the
duty of deciding whether the Spanish
cause in Cuba was hopeless aud whether
the war should be stopped in the in
terests of humanity. He said that no
European power could be expected to
take the initiative, as the geographical
position of Cuba was such as to make
the question practically an American
question.
The president, he said, would not
take any action looking to the change
of policy in regard to Cuba until after
| the elections, but he believed that the
president would not hesitate to act be-
fore the close of his administration If
| it should become apparent that the
! Spaniards were unable to suppress the
| instruction within the present year.
| Representatives of the Spanish gov
eminent here are naturally consider
ably disturbed over the news from
Cadiz- Senior De LONE begged to be
excused from an interview and sent
/ Senior De Bose, the first secretary, to
/ see me.
/ The latter was 10th to believe the
report that Spain had reached de-
cision to let Cuba go if the rebellion
should not be ended before March
never relinquish control of Cuba,
and that it was idle to talk about
| Intervention if the war was not ended
before that time, for in his opinion the
rebellion would be crushed before
many weeks had passed.
The belief is current here that the
Spanish government would gladly
abandon its SO far fruitless attempt to
put down the Cuban instruction if it
had an excuse for SO doing that would
be accepta BILE to the Spanish people. a
high official of the government eN-
pressed the opinion that the Spanish
government would be glad to give up
the struggle in Cuba if it could be
done without bringing on revolution
