CARACAS, Dec. 16.—Word has just-been received here that British and German warships are now off Margarita Island, but as yet have made no effort to land marines. This is the island which it is generally believed is desired by the Germans as a coaling station. There is a Gea d belie here that an attempt may be made to selze it. Such action would be fe- ceived complacently here, as it would undoubtedly cause the Government of the United States to interfere at once. —_—__ef2_ BRITISH FLAG IS RAISED OVER AMERICAN SOIL. (Special to The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, D.

The matter had been considered in consultation with Germany, and it had been decided to resort to a blockade of the ports.

GERMANY NOT FAVORABLE TO ARBITRATION PLANS. BERLIN, Dec. 16,—The German Government has not yet replied to President Castro's offer of arbitration, being stili in correspondence with tho British Government on the subject. It is intimated that Germany's re- ply is not likely to be ready for some days. The opinion in the Cabinet appears to bs tha: President Castro’s proposals are merely a move in a gawe designed to see what Germany and Great Britain are now willing to do and as a test also of American public feeling. The prevailing idea here at present is that it is too late to arbitrate and that the acccptance of the offer to do so would place Germany in the position of having put her hand to the plough and as looking back.
