I'm an incredibly short time after

marked, and now / can truthfully say
that there is not the slightest trace of

Sir William Allan, VI. p, does not al
low the fact that he was given his
title but a few months ago to restrict
his criticisms OF the government, says
the London correspondent OF the Chi

made a sweeping indictment OF his
majesty's navy and its management.
The necessity for the possession OF sea
power, he said, included steam power.
gun power and man power, yet the
British navy possessed none OF these.
The Terrible. which was designed for
twenty-five knots. had crawled home
from China at nine knots, and the
dOckyards were so cOngested with Grip
pied cruisers that vessels had to be sent
to private yards for repairs. When
the Powerful came home from China.
the repair bill amounted to $4,000 or
100000.
He cOntrasted these vessels with the
Bavarian transport steamer which had
travelled 100000 miles. carrying safely
$4,000 men. and had never needed to
be laid up for repairs.
AS To gun power, the newest vessels
were inferior In weight of metal fired
to American and Japanese vessels Of
similar displacement. In regard TO
manning. the British feet was a phan-

navy needed Immediately 1900 fire

WHO OWNS PATOSf
The Latest Controversy of Great

The present British-Venezuelan cri-
sis recalls the one in 1895, when in
dispute over contested territory Presi-
dent Cleveland espoused the cause OF
Venezuela to the extent of declaring
In message to congress in December
of that year that the United States
would resist any attempt by Great
Britain to enforce its claims. says the
Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. Cleveland proposed an American
commission to define the boundary.
and congress passed a bill appropriate
ing 100000 to pay the expenses.
The completion of this commissions
work was made unnecessary by the
British cOnsenting TO joint arbitration.
In the treaty OF Washington, signed
Feb. 2, 1897, il was provided that q
tribunal, consisting OF five members,
should be chosen to act. as a final
board of arbitration between Great
Britain and Venezuela Baron Her
schel and Richard II. Collins, a justice
of the British supreme court of judi
cature, represented Great Britain,
while Venezuela chose as her cham

counselor of the Russian foreign office,
was chosen by the other four, accord
ing to the provisions of the Washing
ton treaty
This tribunal sat at The Hague and
gave Il decision partly favorable to the
contentious of both nations.
The dispute about Patos. which has
accentuated the present controversy,
became acute but recently. The island
of patoS, or Patio, is in the northern
entrance to the Gulf of Paria and lies

known as the Dragons Mouth" 1t is

The controversy over the island is
old, as similar protests were made by
Venezuela in 1879 and 1861. Great
Britain claims the island 10y virtue of
the treaty of Amiens, signed in 1902.
according to which Trinidad was coded
TO England. aud the British consider
that the island of Patos is tributary
To Trinidad. Venezuela contends that
the island was not mentioned in that
treaty and consequently did not pass
into the possession of England. but re
manned under the sovereignty of Spain
