VENEZUELA AND
ENGLAND At OUTS
Diplomatic Relations May Be

Island Contention.
(Ry Associated Press.)

LONDON. September 22.-The Associ-
o+ad Press ia in a position to announce
that Diplomatic relations between Great
Britain and Venezuela are on the verge
Of being severed. Any day, almost any
hour, may bring the announcement that
the British minister at Caracas has been
given his passport. with corresponding
action toward the Venezuelan minister
In London.
The cause OF the crisis does not seem
to be confined to any particular Incl
dent. but consists in various differences,
which eliminated in Eenezueia's assum-
ing such an angry attitude as to leave
Drwning Street fully impressed with the
belief that the Venezuelan Government
intends to force matters to a critical is
sue. That a diplomatic rupture would
result in hostilities is a contingency thus
fur scarcely contemplated.
The present diplomatic relations are SO
strnined that, to quote responsible
British official, it would make very lit
tie difference If the fact became public
pronerty by the absence of the diplo-
matte representatives from Caracas and
London. The view OF the Foreign Office
is that affairs have reached a stage
where it is impossible to deal satsfacto-
r;ly with Venezuela in any matter which
may come up.
In proof of this contention the Foreign
Office instances the report Of the United
States minister at Caracas, Herbert Bow

ernment has protested against the Brit

claimed tsovereigntyl According TO the

Now that the courts have finished with

uncertain sound of the evils tnat nave
been rampant in the city. DR.. BaGby de-
clared that what the city ne, led was a

able captains, while al the Baptist Mn
siters' Conference yesterday morn rs.
red-hot resolutions were adopted demand
ing in the name Of public decency that an
impartial and thorough investigation be
made into the official character and

rests the authority for this shameful

THE RESOLUTIONS.
We have observed with the keenest in
terest and so!icitude the recent devsiop-
ments in the police circles of our city
and we recommend most heartily the
service performed by some of the p,li2e
force under the courageous and efficient
leadership of Mr.. Wyatt in bringing to
light the violation of the law by numer-
Gus gambling establishments. 1t has
been demonstrated beyond all contradict
ton that this vice, forbidden by law
has been scandalously prevalent, and IT
has been made apparent that the polio Q
authorities might have Known, ie they
did not the places where these es.al'-
lishments We're operated and the names
of the offenders. 1t has also been clearly
shown that it was entirely practicable fer
them to secure sufficient legal proof to
bring the guilty persons to justice. There
is also most convincing evidence that on
account of the negligence or incom-
potency of those in authority on the po-
lice force, this unlawful practice has lre-
vailed for an Indefinite length OF ttmo
without molesation. Therefore, resolved:
1. That in view Of the facts disclosed,
which are so shocking to the moral SEN
timent Of the community and so full OF
dishonor to our city, We express the
solemn conviction that a proper respect
for law and good morals, yea, for pubic
decency, demands that an impartial ana
thorough investiga ton be made into the
official character and record of the police

Colombian Legation at Washing

WASHINGTON, sentember 22.-The

can naval force in the same manner as
other passengers, arms and ammunition

force in same manner as other freight"
Officials of the Colombian legation here
predict that q storm of disapproval will
arise in Colombia as a. result of Com
mander MeLean's action in disarming the
Colombian troops before their passage
across the Isthmus. It is stated here
that Colombia's agreement with the Pan
anna Railway Company specifically pro-
Vides for the transportation of Colon-
bian soldiery by the railway when occa-
sion occurs. and Commander McLean's
action is regarded at the legation here as
a dirict infringement of Colombian's SOW
ereignty over the 1sthmus
a belief has grown strong in Central
and Southern American diplomatic CIR
cIes. in spite of emphatic explanations
of high officials of the United States
Government to the contrary, that the
large naval force. which has been sent
to keep traffic open across the Isthmus,
Will prevent. by it's presence the con-
tinuance Of hostilities along the railway
on any extensive scale, and soon bring
them to a halt altogether: that the force
has been sent there in anticipation Of an
early signature of the Panama treaty
and that it will be kept there to maintain
order.
