The Pall Mall Gazette questions the Daily Chronicle's quoted unpublished British Venezuelan letters from 1840 to 182 when Schomburgk delimited British Guiana and border posts were removed. It asks why Secretary Olney did not use them to refute Salisbury and if he sought a quarrel. The St James Gazette criticizes government handling while Mr Chamberlain calls the Chronicle accusation contemptible.
