Great Britain would ask some de lay In prei .at li'u its reply, and su'imit tlntr It to this government. lAsl.le from Sir Julian's i lain and em phatic denial of this report, it may be stated h-ro that .Lord Salisbury's for mal reply to Secretary Olr.ey's memo randa was made wvks aero. I; was ex ceediiiKly brief, and said, in ep.'-vt. that the Importance of the nuesMon at Issue was such that her majesty's pev rn nient would consider It cart fully bef re answering it in rxtenso. It now ap pears that Secretary Oitny's oriKinal letter is sent to Ambassador Bayard, am! by him transmitted to Lord Salis bury In August last. An In:erotl'ic l'1ie The most Interesting phase of the Vorzu.!.in boundary dispute with Ircat Britain has been developed by the ultimatum which her majesty's srov crrment is sail to have sent to Vene zuela, prowinit out of the arrest last "t ar of Servant Behiens and two as sistants of the British police force by the Venezuelan authorities at Uru.in. S-rceant Behrens claimed that at the t'me of h!s arrest certain of his house hold effects were "lzed by the Vene zuelan soldiery. After his liberation he was reimbursed by the Caracas tpv ernment for the personal loss nllecel to have been sustained by him. It is now believfd that the Venuolan River n- i rrent will flatly refuse to accept any ul tirrvarnnrwhirb will look to the piyment of an Indemnity on Its part to S-r:nar.t B.-hrei'S or an apology for his arrest. State department officials who are fa- ; miliar with the dispute between the tw countries believe that Venrzu-la will rest the case on the assertion that the Uriilsh police were the aggressor In the ; first case In crossine the river and planting their fit? on the west bank up- j cupled by the Venezuelans: that the ar rest of B-hnns. while not strictly le- ! pal. would not have occurred had he ! not taken the Initiative and thus : aroused the anj-'t-r of the V-n ziielan rA liery. Moreover, the country In ' wnich the arrest whs made Is at lnt r"fty mile west of the S"liimherir line. It lies In that part of Venezuela which Isi In dispute between' the two roontri' S. but the control i f which Grif Britain Is iv'.ilinc to have arbitrated. The Vene zuelans, on the othr hand, insists that the point where the arrest was mad 1st as much their own territory as the i country surrounding the capital at Car- arm. ; What action this government will take cannot, of course, be foretold, i I Should the United 'tates urire I'resl- dent Cre.ojjo to ptand firm nnd to n d- j ther pay an indemnity nor apologize, this advice will no doubt be promptly ; taken, and Venezuela will thus shift hi-r nuarrl with f;reat Britain to th" shoul- : nrs of th" United States.
