WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—Second only in importance to the news that the new arbiiration- proposition has gone to the capitals of the coercive powers are pre- sentations which Great Britain has made to the United States. It is reported that Embassador Choate has been informed by Lord Lansdowne that his Government is disposed to look with favor on the propo- sition to settle by arbitration and he has been assured by the same authority that Great Britain has no intentiop of violat- ¢ ing the Monroe doctrine, and while acting with other nations at this time, she would withdraw from that agreement rather than do anything which would cross the policy of the Uhited” States. The an- nouncement that Great Britain looked ‘with favor on arbitration is understood to have been made before the new action of President - Castro -was communicated to ¢ London and while the first offer, which was a mere suggestion to arbitrate, was £till pending. Great Britain's declaration that it “would not cross the policy of the United Btates” is likely to be recejved with great favor here, although our, State Depart- ment ‘has taken the ground that no sfich assurances are necessary, believing in the absolute good faith of Great Britain. This , expression is thought to have been prompted by the indignant state of pub- ¢ lic opinion in England and by the fear of British statesmen that good fellowship between the two great Anglo-Saxon na- tions was being unnecessarily - straitied. ‘Chas.

Then guerrilla warfare will bé: wagad against them, possibly, and they will decide on an expedition to Caracas. Then the point will be, if they are going t6 Caracas, when are they coming out?” American statesmen have frankly cabled British statesmen that they were playing with fire in blindly going ahead with Germany without some explanation as to where they would stop. For the present, of course, Great Britain is going on with Germany, but the an- nouncement is regarded as, a long step in the direction of the segregation of a suspected European coalition to test the Monroe doctrine. This has been the hope of American statesmen ever since the moyement against Venezuela began. As- surances came from Great Britain with considerable reluctance, and this is ex- plained on the ground that it was felt that it might be misconstrued by Ger- many, with whom she had made the com- pact, and by Venezuela, who might see in it an evidence that she was preparing to abandon the attempt at coercion. - BONDS MAY BE FLOATED. New: York Financiers May Furnish __ - Solution of Problem. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—Some very important steps were taken here to-day in the direction of bringing matters to a head. :Negotiations through which a New York syndicate represented by J. and W, Seligman & Company pians to float an is- sue of Venezuelan bonds large enough to settle all of the claims held against that country and bring about immediate peace day, and it may now be stated that there 1s strorng hope for the success of the plan. The plan’is a renewal of similar negoti- ations conducted three weeks ago. There is the highest authority for the statement that if bonds are issued for the purpose | permanent occupancy of the enemy’s ter- ONDON, Dec. 18.—While no defi- nite statement can be made, there is good reason 'to believe that as a result of to-day's Cabinet meet- ing the settlement of the Venezu- elan affair is not far distant. Great Bri‘- ain is not likely to take any further ag- gressive action that might retard prompt settlement. The main point upon which the Government will insist is that it shall have reparation for the treatment of British subjects. . ‘Public sentiment is stronger than’ever against any further measures of force and favors arbitration. The keynote of the situation is struck by Sir Roberc Griffin in a letter to the Times, in which he said: “Why prosecute claims against a bank- rupt Government when the ultimate rem- edy, that of conquest or temporary or ritory is denied to us. Our only course is to withdraw.” Commenting upon the statement of President Castro that no answer has yet been made by Great Britain and Ger- many to. his original proposal of arbitra- ticn, sent through the United States le- gation, the newspapers urge haste on the part of Great Britain: The Dailly Mali say \ The opinion of England is unanimously in favor of arbitration. Owing to the fatuous diplomacy of the Cabinet, this country is tied to the heels of Germany and is bound to await her pleasure. British Intentions may be of the best, but tiat will not save England from becoming embroiled with the United States if the present position is allowed to ‘continue. If the propocal for arbitration s rejected, England anji America will know that Germany and Germgiy alone is to blame. As to Germany's intention the St. James Gazette says: Look at it how you will, there §s no getting away from the plain evidence of the German intention to bring about a coolness between ourselves and the United States. ' She is our deadly rival and no enterprise could be so fraught with opportunities for picking a quar- rel as the formation of such partnership as the present to attain an illusory object from which we are pledged not to withdraw except with ovr partuer's consent. In view of the signal increase of cordiality between ourselves and America, which both sentiment and inter- est prompt us to cement as closely as possi- ble, ‘it 15 a question whether the time has not come for formal adherence on_our part to the Monroe doctrine, which the United States re- gards as tae foundation stone of thelr peace and safety. The Westminster anelte says: What we need for all these cases is a set- tled principle which has been arranged in ad- vance with the United States, for if we con- sent to the Monroe doctrine wé must consen' also to its consequences, and the most obvious of these is that the United States must be made a party to any intervention on our part involving the use of force in the affairs of a South American state. The United States alone, according to the Monroe doctrine, can apply the ultimate remedy, which- is seizure and occupation of territory, and to act with- out her consent is to commit ourselves to pro- CASTRO CALLS d'N MINISTER BOWEN.

I18.—Parliament was | prorogild this afternoon by the royal com- | mission.- Only a score of members of the House of Commons were present when the Black Rod summoned the lower huuse to the House of Lords to hear the King's speeeh, -which was-an unusually lengthy. recapitulation of public events since Jar uary, including the action taken in con nection with Venezuela, regarding which the speech said: I regret that the constant complaints which my Government found it necessary to address to the Government of Venezuela in regard 'to unjustifiable and arbitrary acts against British subjects and property during the last two years have been persistently disregarded and that it has become necessary for my Goverc- ment, acting in concert with that of his im- perial Majesty the German Emperor, Wwhich has also serious causes for complaint against the republic, to insist on measures of redress. The speech refers to the conclusion of the South African war and adds: There seems to be every reason to hope that materiai prosperity greater than any the Trans- vaal and Orange River colonies have yet ex- perienced may visit these reglons and that all sections of the population may live together in friendship for each other and loyalty to the crown, Paragraphs deal with the postponed coronation; the colonial conferences and Secretary Chamberlain’s tour, which top- gether are expected to be of the ‘‘utmost value, both in respect to their immediate effect and as precedents in the future.” The AngloChinese treaty is referred to as promising“to ‘“‘secure not only for this country, but. for the commerce of the world, valuable facilities' and advan- tages.” The speech closes with a reference to India, where the anxiety regarding an- other famine has been ‘averted by a plen- tiful rainfall and where the coronation durbar will be associated with a period of unusual commercial and financial pros- perity. The speech omits the usual reference to foreign relations. Other toples touched upon were the ex- pedition against the Mad Muliah and the co-operation of Italy therein, the accept- ance by Chile and Argentina of the Brit- ish boundary awards, the Brussels sugar conventicn and the alliance between Great Britgdn and Japan, which the King be- lieve® will be of advantage to both coun- tries .and contribute to the maintenance of general peace in the extreme East.

Lo R AT, IGNORES THE ULTIMATUM. CARACAS, Dec. 18.—Early to-day the correspondent ‘here of the Associated Press saw President Castro and ques- tioned him in regard to the report pub- lished in the United States that the An- glo-German ultimatum had been accepted by Venezuela. The President became fuffous with rage and said there was no truth in the re- port. He added: "The acceptance of an ultimatum can- rot be coupled with arbitration. Besides the Anglo-German ultimatum is not, properly speaking, an ultimatum.” When asked if it were true that Vene- zuela was taking diplomatic steps to ar- range for arbitration and that arrange- ments in _this direction were well ad- wvanced, President Castro said: *“The Government of Venezuela does not propose to determine on any steps while the proposition for arbitration that the legation of the United States was charged to present to Great Britain and Germany shall remain unanswered.” At noon no answer on the subject of the |~ proposed arbitration had been received at ‘Washington.. The French cruiser d'Assas is expected at La Guaira. Her commander has re- ccived orders not to do anything which proceed to Venezuela. His Majesty sald he hoped for a speedy and happy ending, without complications with other powers, of the Venezuelan affair. The Agordat will leave for the Caribbean Sea in a few days.

ERLINg Dec. 18.—Aside - from thci financial claims mentioned in her | ultimatum, Germany expects some form of apology from Venczuela for' the diplomatic insults which the Foreign Office says are more serious and more gross than those of which Great : Britain complains. The Foreign Office of- ficials point out that Premier Balfour's remark yesterday evening in the British House of Commons about Germany hav- ing other than financial claims must be understood as applying to diplomatic re- | paration for the insults and not to a ma- | terial indemnity, like money or territory. | The Forelgn Office is again calling at- | tention to the suspicions in the United States lest Germany effect a landing in Venezuela. It says a refutation of such ! suspicions ought to be perceived in the| slender forces at the disposition of Ger- many.

A fact which impresses the foreign ob- | server here is the quiet indifference of | the newspapers and people toward the Venezuelan affair. Not a Berlin newspa- | per has a leading article on the subject to-day and the news published is largely ‘an abstract of what the London and New York papers are saying. The Germans appear to be astonished at the commo- tion in Great Britain and the United States over what is regarded here as a mere episode. Few of the German news- papers have correspondents in New York, but those who are there telegraph that‘ Germany Is seemingly without one lrlend‘ in the country, Germany’s alleged attitude toward the United States during the Spanish-Amefi- | can war. The popular feeling In Great Britain against co-operation with Ger- | many is attributed here to the German | people’s bearing toward Great Br]talnl during the South African war. But if public opinion has little concern as yet over Venezuela, the Foreign Office here is extremely sensitive over the de- velopments of public feeling abroad, espe- | cially in the United States. The reason for delay in doing anything that would | change the situation, either by replying | to Venezuela’s proposition made through Minister Bowen, issulng blockade regula- | tions or taking any forward step is be- cause it is thought better ta remain pas- sive for a few days and see how far pub- lic feeling in America will go. Indications are not wanting that the German Gov- ernment is seeking an expedient to ar- rive at a solution of the difficulty with- out anything further happening to vex the people of the United States, whose good will is considered to be more impor- Eant than the humiliation of Venezuela.

The German cruiser 'Falk, which has been anchored for the past two days at the entrance of Lake Maracaibo, to-day captured the Venezuelan' schooner Plc- torfa. After cutting down her mainmast, thus disabling her, the Germans aband- oned the vessel. This action has caused great indignation among the Venezuelans and excitement runs high at Maracaibo, where the people have been parading the streets uttering cries against Great Bru» ain and Germany. —_— WAR BLOCKADE TO FOLLOW. Issuance of Formal Declaration To- Morrow Is Expected. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—As under- stood here, the blockade to be declared by the allies against Venezuela on Saturday is to be a “war blockade,” as contrasted Wwith the ‘“peace blockade” which -has been in operation since the trouble with Venezuela assumed an acute stage. Or- dinarily a legal blockade is preceded by @ declaration of war, but at times this formality is dispensed with and a block- ade maintained. just as though war had been formally declared. To all .intents and purposes war has existed, and such condition has been recognized by the Governments of the allies. A formal declaration that a blockade has been established will be sent to. all the powers, and it will be recognized by the United States Government. Follow- ing the practice in such cases, this Gov- crnment will maintain an attitude of neu- trality toward belligerents, which they practically become by the establishment of the blockade, although whether a Pres- idential proclamation announcing our neu- trality to the world will be issued has not yet been decided upon. The matter will come up for definite determination very soon. Our Government is fully informed of the intention of the allies in the move- ments they are making in operations against Venezuela. The notice about the issue’of the de- claration of thé formal blockade of Vene- zuelan ports is not understood here to mean that Minister Bowen’s efforts to ad- just the Venezuelan difficulties ‘have failed. As Minister Bowen has only to- day been appealed to to endeavar to effect such an adjustment.he has had no oppor- tunity of moving forward in his negotia- tions to a point where he might reasona- bly expect the allied powers to cancel completely the remainder of their puni- tive programme. Therefore, it 1s to be expected that the threatened blockade Wwill be duly published next Saturday un- less in the meantime Mr. Bowen is able to offer sufficient assurances that the Venezuelan Government is ready to meet the terms of their ultimatums. It can be stated positively that these assurances Will not include a direct guarantee by the United States of Venezuela’s liabilities, —_— e 5 MULLINS, 8. C.
