expresses the opinion that these Powers
Ia preferring the Presidents arbitration
TO that of The Hague tribunal we're guided
less by the judicial qualities of the arbi-
TRAITOR than by the fact that they want to
zee at the bottom of the verdict the sig
nature Of a man who represents consid-
erable number Of ironclads, torpedo boats
and cannon. President Roosevelt having
refused to become a guarantor that Vene-
zuela would pay the award Of an arbltra-
tion tribunal, the Powers are now cleverly
seeking to outwit him and obtain indi-
rcctly the desired guarantee.
The Temps expresses regret at the in
suit which has been directed al The Hague
arbitration tribunal and rejoices at the
lesson in politeness which President Roose-
welt gave to the Powers on recalling to their
attention the existence OF a court which
they created. The Temps thinks a fatal
blow has been directed at the prestige OF
the court.

REBELS STILL DEFY CASTRO.
Matos 10 Keep Up the Ftght-Blames Castro
for All venezueia's Troubles.


for All venezuela's Troubles.
WILLEMsrAp, Curac,a, Dec. ls.-The
Venezuelan revolutionists have not given
up their fight because Great Britain and
Germany are now coercing the republic.
Gen Matos, lee Ter Of the revolt, is here.
and one Of his friends makes this statement
Of his position:
The liberating revolution In Venezuela
continues powerful, united and compact
under the undisputed direction Of Gen Matos
as leader-this is public and notorious
and besides ! have seen and read recent
letters from the principal leaders OF the
revolution which confirm the fact. The
attitude Of the revolutionsts in the presence
of the present conflict with Germany and
England will be to continue the war until
Castro is overthrow. l have been unable
to speak with Gen Matos himself on account
Of the reserve he is obliged to maintain in
order not to violate the neutrality OF the
island. but by indirect means have learned
that the following are his ideas on this i'm
portant matter:
As regards the ultfmatum Gen. Matos
does not know it's wording, and therefore
cannot express a definite opinion Gen.
Matos believes that to aid Gen. Castro
In the present conflict. which has arisen
out OF his arbitrary acts, would make
Venezuela an accomplice in his misdeeds
and would render an immediate and
dignifed solution Of the difficulties i'm
possible for the country. In his opinion
Venezuela is under obligati on TO pay the
lawful demands OF Germany.
so far as England's action is concerned
he judges that it is due to the piratical acts
OF the dict ator's vessels, acts which Gen
Matos condemned previously in a public
document. He thinks. moreover. that Castro
constitutes the sole difficulty. inasmuch
as the foreign nations have complaints
not against the Venezuelan people, but
against the baleful man who has forgotten
every duty he owed to his country. which
repudiates him: that with the triumph OF
the liberating revolution which must come
soon all these difficulties will disappear at
once, because the revolutionists, as soon
as a government Is established. will pay
due regard to obligations contracted and
will respect guarantees and property, both
national and foreign
Finally. Gen. Matos il confident that
there Is no fear that those nations will
take possession OF any part OF the Vene-
zuelan territory. because when the liberat-
ing revolution triumphs ii will he able to
settle the present difficulties, because the
United States will cause the wise Monroe
Doctrine to be respected, and because
in any event the whole country would
fight for the integrity of its territory.
-Such are briefly the opinions Of this
notable public man in whom the whole
country has placed all it's hopes Of re-
generation. and who will be able, when
he comes into power. TO maintain the dig
nifty Of the republic. to save 1t from the
dangers into which Castro's misdeeds have
brought it, to make it prosperous and to
preserve peace in the interior and harmony
with foreign nations"

afternoon. The exercises were brief and
simple. Prayer was offered by Bishop

by Park Commissioner Wilcox and ar-
cepted by President +. W. Rhinelander.
Finally Mayor Low made q short address,
opening the building to the public.
President Khinelander. In his speech.
said that q great authority had once said
that the museum might become the richest
but not the greatest, as the great master
pieces OF art were In the European mu-
seums. This might be true. President
Rhinelander said. but there vas a large
field from whhh objects OF ineetimable
value might be gathered.

expected that In q short time the income
will be available and enable them TO add
objects Of interest In many depart ments.
The inception OF the museum, Mayor
Low said. was due to an idea contained In q
letter which the late John Jay sent from
Paris. In the making Of q museum an
element often overlooked was time He
thought that In . hundred, or maybe two
hundred years. the Metropolitan would
have ou,stripped the bounds Of the liveliest
