We REFUSE TO ARBIIRATE
Austria'S Claims for Indemnity Not
TO Be Entertained.
Grew Ont of Hazleton, Pa, Riots In IS9.
-Pennsylvania Jury Which Tried
the Sheriff Acquitted Him
Claims Come to Naught.

Vienna, July 10.-The United States gov
ernment has declined the proposal of the
government of Austria Hungary to arbi-
tiate the claims for damages arising from
the death of Austrian-Hungarian subjects
during the rioting at Hazleton, Pa, in
September, 1897
The American refusal has been a sur.
prise and disappointment here, especially
in view of the proceedings of the Peace
Conference at The Hague
The Alegemeine Montags Zeitung ad-
mits, however, that the legal standpoint
adopted as the reason for refusal deprives
this of any offensive or hostile character,
and S it is inconceivable that the re-
pl the United States government

tween the two pow
The official papers consider that the
matter will now he droppsi.
The officials here confirm the advices
from Vienna that a plan of arbitration,
proposed as a means of settling claims
growing out of Hazleton, Pa, riots. had
been rejected by, the United States. This
probably dispOses OF the matter accord
ing to the view held here. as it has run
the entire gamut of diplomatic negotia-
tion, and all of the plans of settlement,
including the last one Of arbitration. have
come to naught. At the outset the State
Department called the matter to the at
tentiOn Of the Governor of Pennsylvania,
who in turn awaited the action of the
jury at Hazleton, which tried the Sheriff
on the charge of murder. The jury ac-
quilted the Sheriff, whereupon the Penn
sylvania authorities held that they could
not recognize a responsibility which a
jury had held did not exist.
The State Department took a similar
view, whereupon Austria Hungary pro-
posed arbitration of the claims. II is
this last proposal which is rejected, which
seems to close the matter, as the claims
are hardly considered Of sufficient impor-
tance 10 justify Austria Hungary to go
beyond the diplomatic representations she
has made already.
