ABOUT TO BE SEVERED.
Diplomatic Relations Between ENGLAND
and Venezuela Are Strained.

London, Sept. 22-The Associated
Press is in position to announce thar
diplomatic relations between Great
Britain and Venezuela are on the verge
Of being severed. Almost any hour
may bring the announcement that the
British minister at Caracas has been
given his passport. with corresponding
action towards the Venezuelan repre-
sentative in London.
The cause of the crisis consists in
various differences which eliminated
in Nenezuell assuming such an angry
attitude as to leave Downing street
fully infpres with the belief that the
Venezuelan government intends to force
matters IT, Il crucial issue That "a dip
lonatic reputure would result in hos
tilites is Il contingency thus far scarce
ly contemplated
The view of the foreign office is that
affairs have reached a stage where it
is impossible to deal satisfactorily with
Venezuela in any matter which may
come up.
An exceptionally prominent official
said to- a representative of The Asso-
ciated Press. this afternoon:
Affairs are SO chopelessly muddled
that we can get nothing done There is
no concealing the fact that the Vene-
zuelan government has made heated
protests to our ministers. The chief
grievance appears to be the allegation
that the British government is aiding
the revolutionary army. II is needless
tn say this is perfectly baseless.
We only wish the. United States
would take oyer the whole country ana
then, perhaps, we could get some peace.
OF all the disturbances of the last de-
cade, the present seems to be the worst.
This combined with the attitude VITA
the normal government makes us
somewhat Indifferent to any action
Which may take place. The Venezue-
lans appears inclined to be rather reck-
less, thanks chiefly to what / presume
is the mistaken notion that Washing
ton will protect them from the results
Of their own folly, however inimical tina t
might be to the lives and property of
British subjects and those of other
AS We understand Mon
roeism, Venezuela is quite mistaken in
this matter. though apparently, the
impression has much to do with her
present action
