PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DECLINES.
viii Not Act ~ Arbitrator Between Ven.
exuela and European Credit0rs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-President
Roosevelt will not be the arbitrator oi
the Venezuelan controversy. The
whole vexatious subject will be re-
ferred for adjudication to the Hague
tribunal. Epitomixed. this was the
situation as II had resolved itself ct
the conclusion o. the cabinet meeting
today.
The Venezuelan question was the
principal and practically the only
topic Of general concern under consid.
GRAFTON. Secretary Hay presented the
results Of his cable correspondence
with the governments At London, Ber.
lin, Rome and Caracas. In accord.
ance with the suggestion made by
President Roosevelt, through secre.
tary Hay, President Castro was re-
ported to have agreed to submit the
difficulties to the arbitration OF the
tribunal at the Hague tribunal.
The European powers not only con.
sented to submit the controversy to
arbitration, but while they had ex-
pressed preference for an arbitra.
tion to be conducted by President
Roosevelt, they had assented to his
suggestion that the matter be referred
to the Hague.
The presentation of the case met the
hearty approval OF the cabinet. No
fear 10 expressed by his administra-
tion that the Monroe doctrine will be
brought into the controversy in any
manner that might result in an EN-.
barrassing situation for the United
States.
Secretary Hay is preparing note
to the powers in which the gratifica-
tion OF this government Is expressed
for the course agreed upon.
No intimation is given Of the condi.
tions which may have been imposed
by the European powers or by Presi.
dent Castro's PRECEDENT to the arbi.
tration. II IL known that Great Brit.
ain was willing to submit the subject
to the arbitration Of President Roose-
welt practically without conditions,
but the suggestion 10 made that one
and perhaps two Of the other powers
involved proposed some conditions
which might have proved embarrass.
ing TO the president had he undertaken
the responsibility OF determining the
question.
It is understood that some money
must pass, but It Is also known that
the amount OF cash to be required Of
Venezuela before arbitration 10 not
nearly so large as has been stated.

The body was to have been obtained

The subsequent improvement in Liverpool occasic nal nrmness here. but these large estimates of New Orleans rece pts to morrow caused reslzins and break of 5G6 points from the top was established. The ab- sence of sellers and fresh buying near the olose steadict values again making the net gain 7 points On the day. Manchester cables say that during the past week irreguarity was noticeable where actual business was in question. The China trade was small There was plenty of inquiry from India for fabrics but this rarely led to anything. The political troubles in South America and uncertainties in Central America also exerted a depressing Influence on the ma, ket. It is expected that the amount brought into sight during this week will show decrease of 25 coo to 4o,- 900 under last year. the Export demand for the past ten days in the interior has been light. Sellers of spots find 1t extremely diff fcut to effect sales. even though concessions are offered as an inducement to exporters. Sentiment. however. continues extremely fla vorable to the article anI any encouraging feature will be eagerly grasped to enhance p:ices. However. we uld suggest operat ns conservatively. for present prices certainly dis count great deal in the situation.
