The inability of certain children t.

There is no doubt that these oral

and he Is competent 10 Judge results Of

considerable support from the Dutch resi-
dent Of the Colony already and It would not
be surprising IL their ranks were mate
rally increased by recruits during the
next few weeks.
The burning Of farms ana the iIl-treat-

secrecy Regarding the Matter.


OTTAWA. Ont. Dec 2o.-It is learned
here today that while there is no imme-
date prospect OF the resumption OF the
work Of the Joint High Commission, nego-
tiations with respect 10 the Alaskan soun-
dary have been opened between the Brit
ish and American Governments and an ae-
tive exchange Of diplomatic notes IS in
progress
The Dominion Government some time
ago placed in the hands of the Imperial
Government complete and comprchen-
sive history OF the question, which had
been prepared by Sir Louis Davies. Min
lister of Marine and Fisheries and, it is,
therefore, well informed as 10 the COR
tentions of Canada.
The members of the Canadian Ministry,
in view of the confidential character of
the negotiations at present going on. abb
solutely refuse to discuss or even refer
to the matter, but it is limited that Ges-
patch from Washington was some time
ago laid before the British Foreign Office
and that reply TO this document was
recently transmitted from Canada
It is impossible TO say, owing to the
absolute secrecy maintained. whether any
progress has been made toward a settle
ment of the question But it is believed
that negotiations viii be so far advanced
by the time Parliament meets as to per-
nit of ministerial settlement being
made.

Training Ship Hartford Ordered to
Protect American Interests.
Minister Looraiss at Caracas, IN
structed to Enquire Into the Al
legged Violation Of the Rights of
the National Asphalt Company in
the south American Republic.


The Navy Department has eabled in
struetieas TO Commander Hawley, Of the
training ship Hartford, TO remain at La
Guayra, Venezuela, until further orders
and to grant whatever protection may be
necessary to American interests in the
ease OF the National asphalt Company, Of
New York, whose concession of a pitch
lake has been abrogated by the Vene-
zuelan Government.
The state Department has sent instrue-
tions to Francis B. Loomis, United States
Minister al Caracas to make full en-
quiry into the complaint OF the National
Asphalt Company. and to report whether
it has suffered a denial Of justice. In
I'll this report has been received from sIr.
Loemis, the Government win take no ac-
tion- Mr.. Loomis and Commander Haw-
ley have been directed to cooperate
While the Hartford is rated as a tran
ing vessel. she IS rather formidable
craft. She was Farraguts flagship at
Mobile Bay About a year ago she was
recommissioned, having been entirely
overhauled and modernized at a cost OF
$ee0. 600.
\ D. Andrews, of New York. vice presi-
ident Of the National Asphalt Company.
has fled formal complaint With the State
Department against the abrogation of the
coIBpany's concession. According to his
adYices. disturbances have occurred in
Venezuela over the abrogation. which
have for their objects attacks On Amer
leans and their interests in the country
! II was on account Of these representa-
tioDs that the Hartford, which reached
I-a Guayra yesterday, was orGered To re-
main there
The State Departments information is
that the National Asphalt Company's con
eession to operate the Bermudez pitch lake
wss transferred to an American syndicate,
composed of c. u Warner. of Syracuse,
and P r QuinIan and P. Sullivan, Of Phil
! adelphia. Mr. Warner and his associates
have not appeared before the State De-
partment in the matter except informally
and the department is deyoting its effort
! solely to aseertaining whether there has
been a denial u justice to the Na.ioHal
Asphalt Company and whether the lives
and interests of American citizens are II
danger.
The complaint that the abrogation Of
the concession is coupled with a political
outbreak directed against Americans is
lot fully understood here.
At the Venezuelan legation surprise was
today expressed that eredenee should be
given a report that business controversy
between two American companies should
bring about political disturbances in Ven
ezueia.
