That the treaty of March, 1845, ‘“ex- plicitly confirms the title of Venezuela over all the islands near her coast which were under the dominion of Spain in the init tive period of Venezuelan independence. In support of this contention the Venezu lan authorities produce a letter from the Spanish minister for state in 1873, in which he denles that royal sanction was given to the concession to the Ayuntanmiento of Trinidad by the governor of Patos, Huevos and Monos. Great Britain claims in reply: 1. That when Trinidad was conquered in 1797 soverelgnty aver Patos was alo ob- tained and so recognized by the Madrid government. 2. That Patos has remained in the pea ful possession of Great Britain for more than a century, during seventy years of which time Venezuela advanced no counter claim and that the officlal map of Codazzi colors the island of Patos the eame as Trinidad, Indicating that both belong to the same country. To this Venezuela replied by stating that the map of Codazzi was so old as to make it fmpossible to distinguish the various colors and produced other maps by the same author which give Patos to Venezuela. ‘Being unable to’agres on even the minor points of the controversy the British minis- ter near the close of last year informed the Venesuelan forelgn office that he would make no further representations in the matter, as there was nothing to be gained by continuing the correspondence.

TEXAS LOSES MUCH LAND ave No Title to Holdings Now New Survey s Out. i | t * Property Holders AUSTIN, Tex., Dec. 7.—A report just filed in the state land office fixes the 100th meridfan so that Texas loses a strip of land three-quarters of a mile wide. The survey takes off that much ot the castern edge of Lipscomb, Hemphill, Wheeler, ~Collingsworth and Childress counties, & total loss of 112 seqtions or ,000 acres. It was at first understood that the new line would give to Texas a strip of elght miles of Indian Territory, but it the corner as lately marked is made permanent, the people who .own property will be without title, as a deed from Texas will be worthless. This new location will stand unless the people of Texas can pre- vail on congress to authorize a joint sur- vey for the purpose of marking a new line. This makes the third portion of the Texas boundary line in dispute.
