tanned here.
The foreign office states, with re-
gard to- the 4mit:. piisiiati *
1T is a reasonable time in which
Venezuela can satisfy the injured gov
ernments. Both notes are practically
Identical, although the amounts of the
claims differ. The notes merely re-
iterate the continued disregard by the
venezuelan government of all our rep
resentations, specify our claims and
demand immediate action ON the part
OF President Castro's government in
connection Herewith" Ie 4i.s
The British governments case is
practically identical with the state
ments made in previous dispatches
from London. In which it was first an
,nounced that the action was contem-
plated. Should the British ultimatum
meet with a hostile reception the Brit
ish minister, w. H. D. Haggard, has
been instructed to 60 aboard British
warship, or II that is impracticable,
to go into the neighboring colony.
Premier BalTour's announcement in
the house Of commons this afternoon
is regarded as merely the obvious cul-
mination to the situation which daily
has been becoming more critical for
the past three months.
The foreign Office says: There is
not the slightest desire to coerce
Venezuela. and If any answer had been
made to our repeated protests and de-
mands no such action as now taken
would, have, been proceeded with. It
was the persistent and insulting dis
regard to all representations to aliens
which compelled us to move. It is
now too late in the day for anything
but purely diplomatic arrangements
for the satisfaction of our injuries.
When the fleets have assembled there
is scarcely time to deal with bankers
and a financial settlement, which
should have been suggested long ago,
and would have been welcomed by
both Germany and ourselves. How
ever, any bona fide proposition will
receive careful attention. Reconstruc-
tion in commercial affairs is always
better than liquidation, and If the re-
construction of the Venezuelan finan-
ces can be accomplished to the satis-
faction of our diplomatic claims and
individual losses, both Germany and
Great Britain will have achieved their
ends" 'a. a,R +

volvers were made to give over their

Sp'CiH CINe Despatch TO The SIN
NIFNNA Nov. THE Austrian and

emigration legislation. which will seriously

The Hungarian Government has already
