 London, Jan 27.--The following state ment was authorized by the German embassy here: There is not the slight. est truth in the reports of friction or misunderstanding between England and Germany in regard to Venezuela. Both governments continue to act in perfect harmony and will sinultane- ously withdraw the blockade at the earliest possible moment.a It is to be regretted that the house of 5fnnz0Ms IS not in session, as a question in the house would doubtless reveal the per feet understanding which exists be. tween the two countries. There has been no disapproval. of any kind ex. pressed by the British government re garding Germany's conduct of affairs in connection with Venezuela Nc date has yet been settled upon for rais- ing the blockade, but 1t will cease soon as the representatives of the powers reach a final agreement with MT Bowen The feeling expressed in the press here and reflected in the cable dis patches from New York that England finds the German alliance embarrass- ing is in no way confirmed by the gov ernment's attitude.

Berlin, Jan 27.-President Castro's s offer of 30 per cent of the customs re- ceipts of La Guaira and Port Cabello as a guarantee for the payment of for eign claims is regarded in official cir cles here as evidence of the sincerity of his intention to make satisfactory settlement. As the offer, however, in- cludes the claims of other countries besides those taking part in the block ade, some doubt is expressed as to whether 30 per cent is adequate. A discussion is now proceeding to deter mine this point. It is also uncertain whether the allies will admit that pow CTS which did not join in the blockade shall share in the results the former
 secured by expensive naval operations

society circles of Douglas. The clos
ing exercises of the Southern Normal

ry address.
Yesterday was generally observed as
Jefferson Davis birthday by closing all
banks and business houses in Douglas.
Many excursionists from Douglas. by
special invitation, joined the Waycross
Rifles on their annual picnic at Vienna
Springs. The train was under the per-
sonal management of General Passen-
ger Agent H. c. McFadden, who at all
times looks after the comfort of the
patrons of his popular road, the At
lantic and Birmingham.

I'm this connection the general COM

hitherto most generous course of Col.
Knauss of the Union army and of the
broad-minded people of Ohio in deco
rating the graves of those Confeder-
ates independently and in erecting the
monument which adorns their resting
place Such acts illustrate the spirit
of fraternity and unity which is the
