URUAN INCIDENT NOT CLOSED.

Negotiation! to Settle tbe Dispute Are Still Pending. Washington, May 20. —Notwithstanding reports from Caracas to the contrary, it can be stated that the Uruan incident has not yet besn closed, and that no indemnity has yet been paid by Venezuela to Great Britain. Negotiations are proceeding, however, through the German minister at the Venezuelan capital, but so far It has not been possible to arrange the terms of the indemnity. The difliculty appears to lie, not in the refusal of Venezuela to pay an indemnity, but is the of a recognition in the payment of all language that by any possibility might be construed into an admission of British title to the Uruan country where the incident happened.
