The article praises a major U S diplomatic triumph as victory for the Monroe doctrine. It recalls President Cleveland and Secretary Olney pushing arbitration with Britain over Venezuela, the prior threats of war, London’s initial stand, and Salisbury’s later concession confirming arbitration and a full submission of disputed territory, expected to boost U S prestige in Central and South America.
Venezuela Approval Sought in Boundary Settlement Outcome
Venezuela awaits sign signification of acceptance though Minister Andrade has been informed at every negotiation stage.
