20 parallel to where the old Schomburgk line crosses the Acarabisi river; thence along the Acarabisi to its confluence with the Cuy- uni ; thence along the Cuyuni to its source ; and thence in direct line to a point where the " Schomburgk line " intersects the Esse- quibo. 1 As this could not be accepted by Venezuela, Dr. Rojas formally proposed arbitration. This met with no immediate response. In 1885, the British government agreed to unite the boun- dary dispute with the controversies growing... out of the thirty per cent, duty on imports from the British Antilles and certain indemnity claims by British subjects against Venezuela, and to refer the whole to arbitration. 2 But a change of ministry occurred soon afterwards, and the new British cabinet flatly refused to ratify the agreement of its predecessor ! 3 Subsequently, when Venezuela again recalled attention to the boundary dispute, and again proposed its reference to arbi- tration, Lord Rosebery proposed a conventional boundary line coupled with a condition that the Orinoco river be declared open and free to British merchant vessels.
