WAS A MERCENARY WAR.
Wayne Macveagh So Characterizes At
tack on Venezuela.

THE HAGUE October 5.-Wayne Mac
Veagh. senior counsel for the United States
continuing his argument today before the
Venezuelan arbitration tribunal, declared
that the question before the tribunal was
one of ethics, namely, whether or not the
war against Venezuela was just and neces-
sary. He maintained that the complaints
of Great Britain We're merely a pretext for
war, and that Venezuela had far greater
right on her side when she complained of
the dispatch of British vessel from Lon
don to the Caribbean to deliver cargo
of arms to the insurgents chief, Gen Ma
tos. through the intermediary of agents
al Trinidad.
Counsel said he found no precedent in
history for such a purely financial war
as, he declared, was undertaken by Great
Britain and Germany for the protection of
railroad companies bondholders and in
support of the claims of the Disconto Ges-

in official quarters here that the Russian
Austro- Hungarian note to Turkey will soon
have practical result in the creation of the
foreign consuls in Macedonia and other dis

sentatton of the Russo-Austrian note, as 1t
fully takes into consideration the wishes of
France and Great Britain. Therefore the
note may be said to be expressive of the
desires not only of Russia and Austria but
