FRANCE IS COMPLACENT.
Seems to He Satisfied With the Way
 Things are Shaping.

Paris, Dec. 21.-A cable message from Fit. De France, Martinique, an- nounces that the French cruiser Le- roude, which was assigned, few days ago, to protect French citizens in Venezuela, will now remain outside Venezuelan waters, as all anxiety re- garding the safety of French citizens has been dispelled.
 The foreign office here has received from the charge d'affaires at Caracas confirmation of the announcements that President Castro had conferred complete powers on Minister Bowen to arrange the terms for arbitration. The dispatch adds that the president expressed confident belief that the ex- ercise by the United States of the powers granted to Minister Bowen undoubtedly will secure an adjust ment of the questions in dispute.
 Informal exchanges of views be- tween the chancelleries of Rome, Lon don and Paris indicate the willing ness of the British, Italian and French governments to agree to the creation of mixed commission as means of adjusting the difficulties.
