HARRISON RELEASED.
Venezuela Promptly Orders the
Britisher's Liberation.
THBVBNBZUELANs WERE ATFAULT

President Crespo Evidently Acted at Once
on the Advice of Secretary OIney-what
British Newspapers Say Regarding the
Incident.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Minister An
drade of Venezuela, yesterday received
telegram from his government announc-
ing that the British crown surveyor, Mr..
Harrison, whose arrest has caused strained
feelings between the two governments,
has been released by order of the Vcnezue-
Ian authorities.
A dispatch to Minister Andrade says
that Harrison and nineteen others crossed
TO the left bank of the Cuyuni to open
road. The sub-commissary of Acarabesi
protested in writing. Harrison insisted,
and the sub-commissary took him to the
post of El Dorado. As soon as the gov
ernment was informed thereof it ordered
the release of Harrison and asked details.
The post FL Dorado referred to in the
cablegram is directly across the river from
the British station of Uruar. The dis
patch confirms the impression that the
Venezuelans were at fault, and that the
statu quo observed for several years was
broken by the Harrison surveying party.
Pauncefote of Harrison's prompt release
and the circumstances under which he
was arrested.
LONDON, June 27.-The Standard (Con-
servative) says of the latest phase of the
Venezuelan question: 1T does not seem
too sanguine TO expect that the settlement
of the Harrison affair will lead before long
to general arrangements of the other
questions between Great Britain and Vene-
zuela that will enable us Co resume cor
dial relations with a state towards which
we have only sentiments of ncighborly
friendship"
The Morning Post also Conservative,
says 1T Is not "a comforting reflection
| that the release Of Mr. Harrison the crown
surveyor, is probably largely due TO the
| influence Of the United States We are
accustomed to think that Great Britain
can protect her own subjects or exact the
| due penalty for outrage upon them The
! exercise of the influence Of the United
States is, however, a tribute to the reality
| of the negotia for arbitration between
America and ourselves"
The Globe yesterday afternoon, before
| the news of Harrison's release had been re
ceived here, in an article on the Vcne
zuelan question, expressed belief that Mr.
Richard Olney, secretary of state Of the
| United States, had already communicated
with thegovernment at Caracas, urging
the release of Surveyor Harrison. If Har
rison is not released, The Globe added
Great Britain will be compelled to exact
redress by other methods. The paper in
sists that pending a readjustment of the
boundaries England is sovereign in thl
territory east OF the Schomburgk line, anC
declares that it would be a profound mis-
take even to seem to abandon a single incl
thereof
