Some Facts Abou, the Matter.

Washington, Feb. 16.-The allies in
the beginning of their trouble with
Venezuela demanded certain indemni-
ties for acts of Venezuela which were
claimed as insults as well as oppres-
sions. There were other demands which
were of the nature of debts which
Venezuela had refused to pay. Nene-
Zuela when the naval demonstration
was begun had refused to consider
any of these demands. nor would she
admit that they were founded on cor
rect principles. The s55OO paid Great
Britain on the signing of the protocols
was in satisfaction of claims in which
there was a matter of national honor
nvolved-insults to and outrages upon
British subjects. The $4,000 which
Germany is to get, outside of her share
of the customs receipts set aside, is
in a measure of the same sort

this money was probably saved.
