THE VENEZUELAN CASE.
Wayne MacVeagh Closes and Tribunal
Adiourns to Nov. a.

The Hague, oct. 5.-Wayne Mac
Vcagh, senior counsel for the United
States, continued his argument, Mon
day, before the Venezuelan arbitration
tribunal declared that the question be-
fore the tribunal was one of ethics,
namely. whether or not the war against
Venezuela was just and necessary.
He maintained that the complaints
of Great Britain were merely preteXt
for war. He said Venezuela had far
greater right on her side when she
complained of the dispatch of British
vessel from London to the Caribbean
sea to deliver Il cargo OF arms to the
insurgents chief, Gen. Matos. through
the intermediary of agents at Trinidad.
Counsel said he found no precedent
in history for such a purely financial
war as this. which he declared was I'M
dertaken by Great Britain and Ger
many for their company bondholders
and in support of the claims Of the Dis
conto Gaselschaft.
When Mr.. MacVeagh had concluded
his argument the tribunal adjourned to
Nov. 4. when all the counsel will pre-
sent their pleadngs, only one repre-
sentative of each nation being allowed
to speak in reply. The pleadings will
be made in the order of the English al
phabet.

Now Sir Howard, the British minister
at The Hague, is reported to be the
Kings choice for the post of anbaSSa-

The King alone will make the selection
and it is unlikely that the premier %:
