BRITAIN’S FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Per Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Per Press Association. Washington, January 22. President Cleveland and Secretary Olney both strongly desire an early and
complete settlement of the Venezuela dispute, on terms that will not involve discredit to either the British or the United States Governments, without waiting for the report of the Commission which was recently set up. The United States Cabinet would gladly avoid the risk of suspending friendly relations between the two nations, and it is suggested that England should again make an offer to arbitrate, agree to the Schombergk line, or negotiate directly with Venezuela for a settlement of the dispute.
London, January 22. At Lord Lamington’s banquet Mr Chamberlain’s reference to the German Emperor evoked the National Anthem and “ Rule Britannia.” He twice quoted Tennyson’s ode, “ Long live Flag, Fleet, and Throne,” which was received with cheers. The St. James's Gazette states that Lord Wolseley is preparing for the possible despatch of six thousand troops for foreign service.
