CAUSES OF THE ROW
WHY VENEZUELA GOT INTO TROUBLE
WITH ENGLAND AND GERMANY.

Beginning Of the Trouble Which
Has Developed Into Wharf.-The Pa
tOs Island Dispute and Its ReIa-
tion to Present Affairs.
While most people have in a general
way been aware that Venezuela was
in a serious muddle, very few knew
why England and Germany had sent
powerful fleets against and begun war
upon the South American republic.
The alleged reason by these two Euro
pean powers is the collection of debts
and indemnities.
The kaiser's principal claim is that
of the German railroad, built at a cost
of $10,000000, upon which Venezuela
guaranteed per cent interest, figure
reduced in 1895 to per cent. This in
terest Venezuela has defaulted for sey-
eral years.
Great Britain's ostensible claim COW
ers a number of items growing out of
the Venezuelan governments appropri-
alton of British railroads. Another
reason for Englands activity against
Venezuela is her desire to settle the

complete cure, but the fires of conta-

system, and as soon as these min

Occasional sores break out in the

eruptions, sores, copper colored
splotches, swollen glands, loss of hair
and other sickening symptoms.

ownership of Patos island, on which
England recently raisedsher flag and
which has been in dispute many years.
The Patos island question was re-
opened last year by the action Of the
Venezuela gunboat Augusta in captur-
ing certain British subjects on the is
land. England protested, when Vene-
zuela replied by reiterating her long
standing claims to the island.
Venezuela bases her claim to the is
land on it's proximity to the coast of
Guiria, from which it is distant only
three miles; that the International Law
institute has defined the territorial sea
as six miles, whereas the island of Pa
tos is more than ten miles from TRIM
dad, the nearest British possession;
further, that the treaty of March, 1915
explicitly confirms the title of Venezu-
ella over all the islands near her coast
which were under the dominion OF
Spain in the initiative period of Venezu-
elan independence"
Great Britain has advanced the con-
tentiOn that when she conquered the
island of Trinidad in 1897 sovereignty
over Patos also was obtained and sc
recognized by the Madrid government
and that Patos has remained in the
peaceful possession of Great Britain fol-
more than a century, during seventy
years of which time Venezuela ad
yanced no counterclaim.

SCENES on ISLAND OF PATos,


Trinidad. in the mouth of the Dragon,
as the channel which separates it from
the latter island is called. 1t was dis
covered by Christopher Columbus in
1893. when he was on his third voyage
TO America.
While the island itself is compare
lively insignificant, being but mile or
so in extent and having no important
settlement on it, still it occupies a
strategic position with relation to the
Caribbean entrance of the great gulf of
Paria and Trinidad's important harbor,
Port Of Spain. A fort and guns estab-
Hshed on Patos could command the
channel most effectively. Great Britain
is of course fully alive to the impor-
lance of holding such an outpost, which
Is undoubtedly Of more value to her
than TO Venezuela. SO it would appear
that the latter country will have some
trouble in maintaining its claim against
its formidable rival.
Small and apparently Insignificant as
it is. it may yet be the source of much
wrangling and even bloodshed Mean

to Hot Springs, staying there four
months at a big expense. I then con-
suited physicians, who prescribed
Mercury. Nothing did me any good,
in fact, the treatment proved more
harmful than beneficial. mentioned
my case to a friend, who told me that
s. s. s. had certainly cured him. I at
once commenced its use, and in six
months could find no trace Of the dis.
ease whatever. This was about two
years ago. continued s. s. s. for
some time to make sure Of perma-
nent cure, and can truthfully say I
am entirely well.
