BRITAIN GIVES IN

VENEZUELA QUESTION IS SOON
TO BE SETTLED.
HAS ASKED ARBITRATION.
PROPOSALS ARE NOW BEFORE
THE GOVERNMENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
RENEWED HosTlLlrlEs IN SPAIN

ians and Natives Battle in
Abyssinia.

LONDON, March 29.-Lord Salisbury
has sent reply to the memorial in ia
vor of Anglo-American arbitration of
the Venezuelan question adopted by the
peace society at a meeting in Queens
hall. The reply is addressed to Rt. Hon.
James Stansfeld ex-member of parlia
ment, who presided at the meeting.
Lord Salisbury said:
L am glad to be able to inform you
that this question is receiving the con-
siderat1on of the government, and that
proposals in the direction indicated by
the memorial are now before the gov
ernment of the United States.'
The Daily News GiberaD has an ed
ltorial on Lord Salisbury's reply to the
memorial of the peace association for
arbitration of the Venezuelan dispute
in which it says: Lord Salsbury's
letter is the most hopeful word we
have had for a long time from the pre-
mier. We hope that it portends a def
mite clearing of the international situa-
ton in one of the storniest quarters
We may even dream that it will pres
age a new and brighter era in the
worlds history.
1t is not perfectly clear whether the
question has been advanced to a stage
or whether the government has merely
confirmed and adopted Lord Roseberys S
policy.
IF Lord Salisbury is able to convert
his words into deeds, he will go far
to make his present term of office illus
trious and beneficent"
The Chronicle, also Liberal, echoes the
Daily News hopes that the United
States will reciprocate our good will.
IF So" SAYS the Chronicle, there is
no need to trouble ourselves further

New Batt1eship Massachusetts De-
veIOped Unexpected Speed,

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 22.-The Unit
ed States battleship Massachusetts, which
left Cramps shipyard last Tuesday for her
builders trial trip, returned to her dock to-
day. The results of her trial were even bet
ter than those accomplished with the In
diana two years ago. That ship, ON her
builders trial, only got up speed Of 15 CLIO
knots for short time, whereas the Massa-
chusetts sustained that speed over the ten
mile course, and exceeded the speed of the
Indiana under similar conditions by about
one knot an hour. When the Indiana was
tried the weather was perfect but the Mas
sachusetts contended against a northwest
gale and acquitted herself beautifully. All
on board are enthusiastic and say the new
ship will be an even better gun platform
than the Indiana.
Rear Admiral Makeroff, commander of the
Russian squadron on the Pacific coast and one
of the most noted officers CT the ears navy,
who was a guest of the Cramps on the trial
trip, expressed himself in terms Of the high
est praise on the Massachusetts performance
"Over in Russia" he said 1--WE are so
accustomed to thinking that American news
papers are often given to exaggeration that
| concluded to see for myself just what the
new battleship would do. She performed
splendidly. speed of 1876 knots under ad-
verse winds and with her engines. steering
gear. etc., absolutely new 1 consider very
complimentary to her builders"
How did the Massa chusetts impress you
as to her qualities other than those of
speed?'
Very WELL indeed. The disposition of her
guns as regards the securing of range is the
best l have ever seen on any ship Of
course, this has been gained at the sac
rifce of some little free board fore and aft
but not enough to be of any consequence in
the field of coast line defense The Massa-
chusetts will be a great addition to your
navy
Admiral Makeroff is on his way to St
Petersburg on leave of absence. Previous
to taking command of the Pacific squadron
he was chief officer of the Russian Mediter-
ranean squadron.
