THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT The Ultimatum Sent to President Cres po has Not Beached Its Destination -•How Great Britain's Position in the Matter is Regarded by Officials in Washington—May Atfi etthe General Peace of Europe--Ambassador Bay ard’s Views. London, Oct. 21.— A high official of the British foreign office was interviewed to-day by a representative of the As soeiated Press regarding the official statement issued here to-day regard ing Great Britain’s attitude towards Venezuela,and said that a dispatch on the subject of the misunderstandiag between Great Britain and Venezula had been forwarded to President Crespo. This, added tile informant of the Associated Press, is a very different thing, as all persons acquainted with the principles of diplomacy will recognize. Continu ing, ho said: “Lord Salisbury thinks that sufficient time has elapsed for action to have been tak n, and wi h t! is view he prepare! the dispatch in question.” Great Britain’s Attitude. London, Oct 21.—1 n view of the many reports ia circulation regarding the attitude of Great Britain towards Venezuela, the following official an nouucement was made to-day. In consequence of Venezuela, not of fering an apology or reparation for the Urnan incident, the Marquis of Salisbury has taken steps to inform her as to what reparation Great Britain requires But, ai re atious between the two countries have been broken off for some years, the com munication was not sent through the di rect diplomatic channels. As the docu ment has not reached its destination, it is not. considered desirable to give de tails of its contents. But it is couched in forcible terms and points oat that Great Britain will not permit Venezuela to overstep the boundaries marked by ’ the course of the rivers Cuyune and Amaeura, and is willing that the ques tion of other disputed territory should be submitted to arbitration. There Can be no Compromise. Washington, Oct. 21.—Officials of the diplomatic corps who are iu a position to speak with full understanding on the Venezuelan question, upon a careful reading of the official statement of the British Foreign Office, made public iu Associated Press cables tc-day, say that it is a decisive rejection of the claims made by Veu< zueia, and a negative answer to the requests of the United States that the subject be submitted to arbitration. The essential feature of the foreign office statement is pointed out to be that Great Britain “will not permit Venezu ela to over-step the line made by the Amaeura and Cuyune r.vers,” but will submit to arbitration to other terri ory in dispute. It is stated that as there is uo oth r territory in dispute the British denial of arbitration is comprehensive and complete. The line made by the Amaeura and Cuyune rivers is practi cally what is known as the Schomburg line. Included within it is all the ter ritory on the South bank and at the mouth of the Orinoco river. The British already occupy the north bank, so that the official assertion of this claim to the south bank gives them the entire entrance to the great waterway of South America. Included a’so within the line cf the two rivers is a large part —prob ab’y one-half -cf the tract recently granted by Venezuela to a United States syndicate. Under the foregoing circumstances, the statement of the foreign office is said to sweep aside ail basis of com pro mise or arbitration, su h as the United States has urged, and to be all Dal iusis tance of British sovereignty ever the essential territory at issue, covering and commanding the south bank of the Ori noco. Neither the British embassy nor the Venezuelan !> / rion to day received fur ther intorouuou on the ultimatum, and they are depending on the press dis patches for their information. The terms of the ultimatum are being awaited with interest. The landing of the British marines at Oorinto is regarded as a pre cedent of the course Great Britain may take The statement from fails to any responsive statement from the State Department, and the officials, under Secretary in structions, persist iu preserving an ab solute sili-uco upr Q the w hole subject of f“ e ' affair, possibly, deeming Bpruct' ut to learn as much as they can bl the British position without dis closing our own stand.

San Francisco, Cal., Ocl 2t. —The defense in the Durrant trial practically closed to-day. Another witness may be examined tomorrow and thou the prose cution will begin the introduction of testimony in rebuttal. Although much important evidence is yet to be submit ted the the case will probably go to the jury at the close of next week. Tne impression now prevails that the defense has materially strengthened the prosecut'on’s case by failing to establish a single fact that Attorney Duprey in h s opening statements said he would show. Although he announce 1 that analPi would be preved, no witness appeared to swear that Durrant was elsewhere than at. Emauuel Baptist Church when B'anehe Lamont was murdered. Failing to show that Durrant was not at the church the defense has attacked the witnesses who testified that they saw him in that vicin ity in company with Miss Lamont. This 'afternoon Dr. R C. McDonald was called to give expert testimony on the hallucinations ot elderly women. He admitted that in time of great excite ment over an extraordinary crime elderly women often became possessed with the delusion that they had knowl edge of alleged facts. He denied, how ever, that e'deriy women were more likely to have such hallucinations than anybody else. Tbe question was plainly for tho purpose of throwing discredit on the testimony of Mrs. Leake and Mrs. Vogel, two of tbe strong- st witnesses of the prosecution Ttieprosecmionhas found a witness who will t« s’ify that everything was not right it.

Tae people in tbe mis sion would be very much surprised if they knew who the girls were.

UNLESS IT BE AN IMPROMPTU ONE Corbett Wants to Fight but Fitz-dm mous Doesn’t—The Cornishmau lla*» Accomplished W hut Gov. Clarke Failed to Do—The Athletic Club ha*. Declared the Fight Olf—Corbelt In dulges iu Some Cgly Talk About lli*« Opponent—Stuart Asked for Time. Hot Springs; Aik , Oct. 21.—There wi 1 lie no contest between Coibottt aud Fitz-dmmons it be au impromptu one, shorn of purse offerings, ring rules, referee aud seconds, for Corbett says that, unless Fitzsimmons tbe man and accommodates himself to circum stances ho will send him to a hospital the first time he meets him and be wiil go quite away out. of his scheduled thea trical route to meet the attenuated Coruishman. What Gov. Clarke has been making such a display at doing, Firzsimons has done easily am! without much flourish of trumpets The Florida Athletic Club, at 10 30 o’clock declared the contest between James J. Corbett and Robert Fitzsimmous off. Martin Julian, Fffzs mmons' manager, refused to agree to the postponement of the date, as acr ircd by;the club. He said Fitzsimmons had trained to fight Octo ber 31st, and was unwilling to train two weeks longer, moreover, Fitzsimmons had contracted to fight Corbett to a finish and he was unwilling to change the programme to a boxing match for points. The proposition was then made to have the m n fight in private for the maiu stake, $: 0,000 a side. Here Stuart interj- cted an offer of an added $ 10,000. Brady evas again willing but Julian de murred. His opinion that tbe club, if it pulled the light off on tne 31st of Oc tober, would have to make good its full promise of 141,000. In all equity, in the face of the entan gleodents which have beset the path of Dan Sruart. and Joe Vendig, this cannot be doce. Where a month ago hundreds of excursion parties were being organ ize to go to the fight, there are none to day. Stuart asked for time. Corbett granted it. Fitzsimmons has exacted his full pound of flesh. As matters stand at this moment, to u*e the wordsof Howard B. Hackett, the highest pugilistic author ity iu America, Corbett wants to fight, Fitzoimmons does not. It is given out that Julian will have Fitzsimmons in Dallas on the 31st, where the contract stipulates the fight shall occur, am! claim the forfeit of $2,500. This is the latest status of the case aud the most decisive knock-out in the whole proceedings. Any amount of disgust and disappointment is visible on all sides over the turn affairs heve taken. T. e programme cow is to substitute Peter Maher for Fitzsimmons in a con test with Corbett, and another man to he found will be depended cn to enter tain Steve O'Djnnell.
