Venezuela.
• , — The position assumed by the United States towards England on account of the Venezuelan boundary question is hardly explainable in faco of the following taken from a well known English journal : — Dr. Spaight is entirely on the side of Great Britain. American vice-con* sul, he was on the spot at the time of the trouble. He says Venezuela ti*A U i(| have made no bother about boundary question if gold had not been discovered on the English territory, the right to which had never before been in doubt. "When : the Venezuelans arrested the two Americans and the two Englishmen, ' and trampled on the British flag, ( they treated the Americans shame- , fully, but were afraid to behave badly ' to the Englishmen. As the direct ! result of the physical outrage upon one of the Americans he died in j prison. They dragged him about i with a rope round his waist. In J face of this evidence from one of j their own officials, it is curious to , find American journals of position l going for the Old country as if we < had been knocking Americans about j and stamping on Venezuelans when it is just the other way. i
