reason OF the fact that the latter Gov

cruisers to the Argentine Republic al
a time when it looked as though Chile

the fact that yesterday was the nth

VENEZUELA BOUNDARY.
Classifying Information Received by
the Commission.
Libraries Throughout the United
States Searched for
Infoi nation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-During the
past month the work of the Venezuela
Boundary Commission has entered on
a new stage. Heretofore the efforts Of
the Commissioners have been directed
mainly TO securing the evidence upon
which the final report is to be based.
The work from now ON will largely con-
sist of classifying the information al
ready obtained.
The British Government, it is pre-
sumed, has put into its two voluminous
Blue Books all the information upon
which it relies in support of its claims.
The Venezuelan Government has done
the same thing in its three volumes of
transcripts from the Spanish archives.
Independently of this, the Commission
has been searching on its own account.
! The Congressional Library in Washing
ton and many public and private Ii
| bTaries in various parts of the country
| have been ransacked for historical and
eartographical information. The arch
ives at The Hague have been gone
through with thoroughness that not
| even the zeal of Great Britain or Ven
ezuela has heretofore attempted, and as
a result important documents which the
world thought lost or destroyed have
been unearthed. The work, although
not yet terminated, is nearing compile
ton.
For some months past Sir Clements
R. Markham, president of the Royal
! Geographical Society, has been in cor
respondence with the secretary OF the
Commission and has furnished valuable
information on the subject of the Sch
omburgh line, accompanying it with
copies of maps ON file in the Colonial
Office, some of which have never been
/ published. While information is look
ed for from Rome, from The Hague
and possibly from other places, the
bulk of the evidence is in, and the ques-
ton now is TO determine what that evi-
dence establishes.
In order to solve this problem, a num-
beT of preliminary reports are being
prepared Among these may be men
toned special reports from the geo.
graphical and physical characteristics
OF the region in dispute; reports upoI
the evidence presented by the 300 ol
more maps which have been published;
reports upon the facts of occupancy anC
settlement, as given by the historians
and separate reports upon the same
facts as developed by the document!
7 from Dutch and Spanish archives; crit
iques upon the arguments of the Brit
: ism and Venezuelan governments a
these appear in the British Blue Bool
: and in the Venezuelan briefs. These re
I. ports are being prepared by the Com
missioners, for the most part, at thei
respective summer homes.

LONDON. Aug. l5.-The publication
in the Times this week Of q sensational

English opinion upon the possible an

them as rejecting not only the public

of recovery from their present desper'
