WHAT VENEZUELA GOT.
Mouth of the orinoco and Rich Gold
Fields.

New York, Oct. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Neither Great Britain nor Venezuela
has won complete victory before the
Paris tribunal of arbitrations.
OF the territory included between the
extreme eastern line claimed by Vene-
zuelan and the extreme western line
claimed by Great Britain, the major
part has been awarded to the latter
country.
Venezuelan has gained two important
points for which she contended. She
the mouth of the Orinoco, and the rich
gold fields of the Yuruay river and its
tributaries are decided to be on the
Venezuelan side of the line.
Great Britain, on the other side, is
given the coast line from the mouth of
the Essiquibo river to Playa Point,
within Is miles of Barima Point, on the
east side of the main mouth of the Or
inoco. She is also confirmed in the pos
session of the Essequibo river and of
the Cuyuni to the point at which the
Wenamur river flows into it. Unless
valuable mineral deposits may be de-
veloped in the mountainous country
south of Cuyuni, the most valuable
parts of the territory awarded to Great
Britain are the Essequibo and Cuyuni
valleys. The award juStifieS Great
Britain's diplomatic contentious, insofar
as it finds that the true boundary, while
it falls far short of the extreme British
claim lose on the Venezuela side of all
the lines proposed by Venezuela from
time to time as compromises.
Senior Don Augusta Pulido, charge
d'affaireS of the Venezuelan legation,
said that Venezuela, having submitted
the question to arbitration, would IN
doubleday satisfied with the result. He
pointed out that while it had been de-
cided that Venezuela'S claim to the Es-
sequibo and Cuyuni rivers was not well
founded, his country had been confirm
ed in the complete possession of the
mouth of the Orinoco and of the entire
valleys of the Curuno and Yuruaey and
the numerous tributaries.

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. 4.-The local dis

whom are organized as local No. II,
and who are affiliated with the Inter
