NORTHUMBERLAND SETTLEMENT
Ccntury.Old Dispute Ended by tho
Paris Award.

The international commission of arr
bitration. appointed under the Anglo
Venezuelan treaty of 1897. rendered
an award on October 3 last. whereby
the boundary line between Venezuela
and British Guiana is determined, thus
ending controversy which has exist
ed for the greater part of the century.
The award, as to which the arbitrators
were unanimous, while not meeting
the extreme contention of either par
ty, gives to Great Britain large
share of the interior territory in dis
pute and to Venezuela the entire
mouth of the Orinoco, including Bari
ma Point and the Caribbean littoral
for some distance to the eastward. The
decision appears to be equally satisfac-
tory to both parties.
Venezuela has once more undergone
a revolution. The insurgents, under
General Castro, after sanguinary en-
gagement, in which they suffered
much loss, rallied in the mountainous
interior and advanced toward the cap
ital. The bulk of the army having
sided with the movement, President
Andrade quilted Caracas, where Cen
eral Castro set up Il provisional gov
ernment with which our minister and
the representatives of other powers
entered into diplomatic relations on
the goth of November, 1899.

in REGARD TO CUBA.
Americas Pledge Must BE Sacred.
Nv Kent

The withdrawal of the authority of
Spain from the island of Cuba was eff
fected by the LIST of January, so that
the full re-establishment OF peace
found the relinquished territory held
ny us in trust for the inhabitants,
maintaining. under the direction of
the executive; such government and
control therein as should conserve
public order. restore the productive
conditions of peace so long disturbed
by the instability and disorder which
prevailed for the greater part of the
preceding three decades, and build up
that tranquil development of the do
mestic state whereby alone can be
realized the high purpose, as pro-
claimed in the Joint resolution adopt
ed by congress on the 10th of April,
1898. by which the United States dis
claimed any disposition or intention
to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction,
or control over Cuba, except foy the
pacification thereof, and asserted it's
determination when that was accom-
plished to leave the government and
control Of the island to it's people. The
pledge contained in this resolution is
OF the highest honorable obligation
and must be sacredly kept.
This nation has assumed before the
world a gra.e responsibility for the
future good government of Cuba. We
have accepted a trust the fulfillment
of which calls for the sternest integ-
rity of purpose and the exercise of
the highest wisdom. The new Cuba
yet to arlse from the ashes of the
past must needs be bound to MS by
ties of singular intimacy and strength
if its enduring welfare is TO be as
s,lred. Whether those ties shall he or
ganic or conventional. the destinies
Of Cuba are in some rightful form and
manner irrevocably linked with our
own, but how and how far is for the
future to determine in the ripeness of
events. Whatever be the outcome, we
must see to it that free Cuba be "a
reality, not a name, a perfect entity,
not a hasty experiment bearing with
in itself elements of failure.

The long pending boundary dispute
between the Argentine Republic and

WRESTLING BUOYs.
Repairers Keep These Valuable
Aids to Navigation in Tune.

Repairers Keep These Valuable
Aids to Navigation in Tune.
Augusta Journal: One of the most
interesting aids to navigation is the
nhistling buoys. There are several of
them off the cape and their dull.
hoarse grooming may often be heard
for miles.
They are clumsy affairs of steel,
.anging in length from thirty to thir
ty-five feet, with an air tank shaped
like a pear, about ten feet high and
nine feet in diameter, from which an
eighteen-inch pipe twenty feet long
Crotrudes
These buoys may be seen at the
lighthouse department storehouse OH
Diamond island, where buoys of, ak
kinds and shapes are kept, ready to
be placed over some rock dangerous
to navigation, or to replace any which
may be damaged or adrift.
This long pipe, which runs down
INTO the water, is what furnishes the
power for the whistle.
When the buoy is in the water the,
rolling of the waves up through the
pipe and the pressure on the air nv
the tank forces it out through the
whistle and the we'll known dismal
sound is the result.
Whistle buoys i'm different ports OF
the coast are given a different pitch, i'll
order that the mariner may. on
thick night. be able to know his To-
vality by the difference in.the sound
1t is the duty of the officers to adj
just the pitch of these whistles when
they get out of tune and they have
become so expert at it that they cam
detect and remedy the slightest varia-
ton from the correct pitch.
The adjustment of these whistles
must be made while they are i'm place
and sometimes the great necessity of

The men on the buoy boat to make
these repairs in very rough weather.
The repairing crew usually includes
she mate and one man, who are rowed
mp to the buoy until they are, able to
grasp the rings OH the side and clam
GER up over the side to the cage which
protects the whistle.
Perhaps the most dangerous duty
which falls to the lot of the buoy ten
lers is that of replacing the heavy
ouoys during storm or While
