| Washington, May 13-The phase Of the
important pending question between
England and Venezuela. In which the
United States has interviewed to ask
arbitration. is involved in the demand
| IF the state department for the resigna-
ton Of United States Minister Hazel
ton Of Venezuela on serious charges
| made by Admiral Meade. Minister
! Hazelton regards the charges as in
| spired by pique and as an evidence Of
this he cites political representations Of
4 direct and indirect character by which
he says Admiral Meade sought to i'm
press the Venezuelan government and
| public that the visit of the United
| States squadron was something more
| than q courtesy and involved political
| assurances that the Unitel States was
| about to lend the strength of it's navy
| to maintain Venezuela against Great
| Britain.
| The minister says that this impression
| characterized all the aGimirarS actions
| while the Nnited Estates fleet was in
Venezuelan waters. 1t was so marked
| to attract the notice of VeneZuelans.
| The government officials, who were we'll
visit, were surprised that the impression
| should be given that there was politi-
| cal significance in the visit. Mr.. Hazel
| ton says this course aroused decided
feeling Of disapproval among the gov
| eminent authorities. They did not. he
| they understood the facts. the visit Of
| the fleet was an incident to its being
| N southern waters and was not intend
| ed as an evidence Of the position Of the
| United States on the international Ques-
| ton involved.
The minister today referred to Ad-
miral Meade's address as something
more than an expression of the usual
official courtesies and declared that it
conveyed the general impression that
the United States sailors were there as
an evidence Of the political policy of
the United States.
1t was stated at the White House
today that the action taken in the case
Of Minister HaZeIton would not be re-
called and that Mr.. HaZelton would not
return to Venezuela as minister of the
United States.
1t is stated that the intervention of
Mr.. Smalley will not avail nything in
the HZelton case and at the state de-
partment it was said that Admiral
Meade'S charges We're substantiated by
The testimony Of the officers with the
admiral.
The navy department officials had no
information to give to the press tonight
concerning the case of Admiral Meade.
Secretary Herbert declined to say any
ching but intimated that he might pos
sibly have something to make public
concerning the matter tomorrow.

that remain.
A member OF the court is responsible
sor the statement that there will pro-
oably be two opinions. but would not
go to the extent of indicating on which
side the majority would be.
