GREAT BRITAIN'S CLAIMS.
Blue Book on Venezuelan Boundary Question Said
to Be Conclusive.

The st. James Gazette has just published
summary of the British Blue Book upon the
Venezuelan boundary dispute. 1t Is SAID 10

land from the latter part OF the sixteenth
century to the second decade OF the nine
teenth century. and extracts from the ar
chiyes Of Spain frorfi 1912 down to Venezue-
las In .openence in 1880. Sir Frederick POI
lock. corpus professor OF jurisprudence Oh
Oxford University, prepared the British case,
which is described by the ST. James Gazette
as being remarkable for mastery OF detail anu
skill in colating oyidenco, and for the clear
ness of the conclusions.
The Gazette says: "The statement shows
the Dutch occupation of thu coast OF Guiana
up to the mouth of the Orinoco, such posses
sion implying the right OF ownership TO the
Hinterland, (back country, which right
it Is shown. the Dutch exercised in the SIX
teenth century. The early Dutch maps give
the northwest boundary as starting from
Barima Point and going northwestward in-
land. roughly parallel to the Orinocoj to the
confluence of the Caroni AMI Orinoco. Ac-
cordlng to the map which de Lisle prepared
for Louis Xvin 1774. the delImitation OF the
district and the Dutch boundary from Ba-
rina Point is identical with the present Brit
ish claims.
".Sr Frederick Pollock proves that the
Standards were never established in Guiana
proper until they overrun part OF the Brit
ish territory to the Cuputti, in 1853. He es-
tabIishes beyond question that Holland Wig
orously protested whenever the Spaniards
entered the Cuyuni Valley, that Spain had
no answer to these protests, and that, any
way. she never claimed its ownership. But
the States general twice, in 1859 and 1862 de-
manded reparation for Spanish yi)la.ion OF
the Dutch territory on the Cuyuni
"Dutch correspondence is cited asserting
ownership of the entire watershed OF the
Essequibo, laying great stress upon rights to
the Cuyuni. where the Dutch had gold dig
Cings aud forts. and with those Indian tribes
they had intercourse for one hundred and
fifty years.
"The Spanish correspondence quoted
shows that the government rejected the ad-
vice Of Governor Cumana to push the Dutch
ont of Cuyunl. The government declared
that the proposals were too audacious, as
they attempted 10 show that Guiana was
more extensive than was actually the case.
''TIe Dutch archives have been so well
kent that Sir Frederick Pollock was able to
establish an irrefrayable case for the British
ownership of the Cuyuni basin, though there
is no adducible evidence as to how far tho
Dutch held the country between the Schom-
burgk line and the Orinoco."

Later Details.

Further details received attend to confirm
the most alarming reports circulated, a.
though the exact number Of men killed is not
yet announced
General Baratieri's force consisted OF 16
battalions OF white troops 0talian's) 6 bat
talions of native troops and 70 batteries OF
artillery.
Since the defeat no news has been received
from General Dabormida's brigade. Which
was composed Of seven white battalions and
four batteries OF artillery.
Generals Bi bertone and Arimondi and their
brigades are also missing and it is believed
that they have been annihilated.
It is almost impossible to describe the state
of excitement in Rome, and no such scenes
have been witnessed since the occupation OF
the city by the Italian troops
The whole country appears to be rs excited
rs the inhabitants of the capital, and it is re-
ported the rioting occurred in several cities.
The press censor, however, is holding back
all dispatches liable to increase the state OF
alarm prevailing, and some time must elapss
before the real truth is known.
The offices and residences of all the minis
ters are guarded and the guards at the pal
ace have been doubled.
In the main thoroughfares shouting
crowds assemble every now and then, calling
for the downfall Of the ministry. only to be
dispersed by the police. Numerous arrests
have been made and the police escorting the
prisoners to the different depots have been
in several cases roughly handled by the
mobs.
There was serious conflict between the
police and mob which seemed bent upon

The national flag was carried draped With
crane and there were cries Of Down with

The newspapers report that the ministry
resolved that they would resign rather than
face the crisis. Premier Crispi it is further
reported informed King Humbcrt OF the de-
cision arrived at.
Further details tell Of violent scenes en-
acted at different points all over Italy, which

One of Herrmann's CIR at Tricks.

People lave repeatedly asked me
which of my tricks have pleased me
the most and which take most delight
in performing. Naturally the effort that
brings the greatest success IS regarded
by q man his best.
I consider the trick of restoring the
shattered mirror as my most famous
one. This Ihad the honor of perform
ing before the Gar Of Russia NJ on an
invitation to gige al exhibion at his
court.
r IT was done nexrec.edly to the 81 ec.
tato.s, and was not down on the regu-
lar bill. While playi G billiards with
the attaches of the court a'ter the
performance, tn, Car being pres
ent in the saloon, [ shot a ball
with all my strength against q plate
glass mirror extending from floor 10
ceiling.
Tt was shiverc1 into fifty pieces.
CONSERVATION was depicted on every
couutolance; and none more plainly
than my Own.
While the Gar co1rteo1sly waived
my apology. considering the destruc-
ton of the mirror trihing, and order
Ell the game to proceed, I could easily
see that my awkwardne;s made dis
agreeable impression.

ined the mirror to estimate the damage
done and the pos ibility OF repairing it.
While so engaged one Of the suite
playfully al'enged me to exercise my
art and make the mirror whole again,
never dreaming that his challenge was
the very cue 1 wanted, and not con-
sidering the acceptance Of it as pos
sible. I hesitated instant and then
ordered the mirror to be covered with
q cloth, entirely concealing it from
7iew.
On the removal of The Goth, after
ten minutes, the mirror W as found with
