The United States asked Great Britain

The United States asked Great Britain to arbitTate the question. So far as is knOwp, DO definite answer has been giv- en to Ambassador Baysrd. V ho present ed the request of this country But as the British Foreign Office has positively declined to consider similar requests by Pope Leo and the International Arbitra- tion Association, 1t is not doubted that in due time declination will come to the United States. It will then remain for the state department to determine to what extent British aggression to Vene- zuela is compatible with the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Gresham had made spe- cial study of the subject regarding it as of more importance than any of the foreign questions under con- sideratlon. Mir. Olney was called into conference, and for sever al weeks prior to his selection for secretary of state he was busy investigating this complicated question. It IS probable that definite issue will be reached when Ambassador Bayard sends Great Britain's answer.
 With France the only question of con- sequence pending is as to the imprison- ment of ex consul General Waller. Am bassador Eustis has been instructed to make inquiries. with view of securing for Waller all the rights If an American citizen abroad, including a trial by civil court.
 Germany, Austria and Denmark are having numerous tariff complications with the United States, which threaten ed at one time to bring about radical retaliation by this country. The read justment has proceeded largely through the state department. Germany and Denmark continue their exclusion of American meats, but there are prospects that satisfactory settlement will be effected. The discriminating duties levied against the beet sugars of Ger many and Austria brought on the con- fiict, and Denmark followed the lead of her influential neignbors.
 The Cuban revolution promises to be source of controversy with Spain. Minister Dupuy de Lome has already asked the state department to apprebend those sending arms to Cuba, and the suggestion is made that Spain will make clam against the United States. based on the precedent of the Alabama claims. Officials are not solicitons, however, as to this claim, ana the intimation is made that it is inspired by British sources, and because of resentment at the Alabama decision.
 Italy and the United States are ex- pected to arrive at satisfactory settle ment ere long concerning the murder of number of Italians in Colorado. It is understood that Secretary Gresham re- garded the offense as such an infringe ment of international rights that he inaugurated negotiations for the pay ment of cash indemnity to the families of the deceased Italians. This step, if consummated, will be in addition to the steps taken by the authorities of Colo rsdo to prosecute the offenders.
 The only subject of consequence pend ing with Russia is that concerning the amelioration of the condition of the Jews. The United States taken little part in the Armenian question, which is provoking a conflict between Turkey and the European powers.
 One of the first acts which MT. Olney is likely to be called upon to perform is that of recognizing the new govern ment of Ecuador, which has come into power after bloody revolution. There are DO pending questions with other | South or Central American countries, except that in which Venezuela is in volved.
