In Fact, the Formal Request Has Not Yet
Been rendered.
Washington, Dec. 23.-President
Roosevelt has not accepted the posi-
ton Of arbitrator of the Venezuelan
controversy. In fact, when the oIhcial
day closed he had not received, form
ally or officially a request from the
European powers that he act as arbi-
traitor of the dispute, These state
ments are made on the highest au.
thority.
In an informal manner the presi-
dent has been notified that the Euro
pean powers intimately concerned in
the present South American difficulty
desire that he should undertake the
responsibility Of acting as arbitrator
of the points at issue between them
and Venezuela, Thus far they merely
have been taking "scundings,' with
q view, probably Of ascertaining how
he would receive formal proiIer TO
act as arbitrator. The president, az
soon as he received the first in
timation that he was desired
70 be arbitrator of the Venezuelan
controversy expressed emphatically
his Judgment that the matters to be
arbitrated should be referred to The
Hague tribunal. His view Of the sug-
gestons made has been conveyed to
the European powers, together with
a strong presentation Of his reasons
for the view he holds. No response Of
n formal nature TO these representa-.
tons has been received.
The president and Secretary Hay
had long conference Monday after
the formers return from his Virginia
trip. They carefully went over the
situation as II had developed since
Saturday, So far az can be learned no
specific reasons have been advanced by
the European powers for obIecting TO
reference Of the Venezuelan qucs-
tons 20 the arbitration Of T.. Hague
tribunal II is held by the admins
trntion that the tribunal at The
Hague was constituted TO arbitrnte
lust such controversies rs that which
has arisen between Venezuela aud the
powers, and that II would be- dcslra-
bile from every Nlcwpoln, that the
present dispute should go TO that
tribunal for adjudication, How strong

Germany and Italy have TO n refer

While It Ia recognized by the prcsl.

president himself that some unplcus'
ant possibilities might attend his per-
formancc of the duties Of arbitrator

his friends assert that he VIII shirk
no responsibility that he may deem
IL his duty to undertake, but will o"-
cept II the powers should insist on II,
though he is very reluctant 10 do so.

At GERMAN INITIATIVE.
Germany the Power that Suggested
that President Roosevelt Act
as Arbitrator.
THINKS HIS AWARD WOULD Be ACCEPTED
The United states Consi dered. in
Germany as Emerging From the
Affair With Credit and With the
Monroe Doctrine Acknowledged
by Two Great Powers.

Berlin. Dec. 23.-The small German
cruiser Sperber, whose reconstruc-
ton has just been finished, has been
ordered TO join Commodore Schroe-
der's squadron in Venezuelan waters.
She will sail from Wilhelshaven in
two or three days. The Sperber, be-
sides her own complement, takes IS
men to man the Restaurador, cap
tured by the Germans from Venezue-
Ia.
The blockade Of the Venezuelan
coast will continue until a definite ar
rangement for arbitration has been
reached. Germany will be well salts
fed if President Roosevelt under
takes the task. His acceptance
would be considered sufficient guar
antee that Venezuela would pay if she
lost. Asking President TO arbitrate
was the emperor's suggestion. An in
direct inquiry, three or four days
ago, not eliciting a refusal from the
president, a request has now made in
direct form. Although Germany is
ready to submit her case to any i'm
partial tribunal. she would prefer
President Roosevelt, for the reason
that President Castro is more likely
to accept the decision of the presi-
dent of the United States than she is
The Hague arbitration tribunal. II
President Castro evades payment I'M
der President Rooseyelt's award, the
people of the United States, it is
claimed here, would with positive
pleasure see the allies compel him
to pay up. The United States is con-
sidered here as emerging from the af-
fair with all credit. The Monroe doc
trine has been acknowledged by two
of the greatest powers of Europe.
President Roosevelt has been accept
ed as arbitrator by all the parties
concerned and the South American
states have been persuaded by events
that the United States is the only
power between them and Europe. The
only annoying thing to the German
government has been the alleged
readiness OF Americans to suspect
Germany Of secret designs. The re-
ported extraordinary distrust of Ger
many has been a painful surprise to
the emperor and TO the cabinet.
