PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
HAS NOT YET ACCEPTED.
He Had Not Yesterday Received a
Formal Request to Act.

He Had Not Yesterday Received a
Formal Request to Act.
Washington, Dec. 22.-President
Roosevelt has not accepted the position
of arbitrator of the controversy in
which the republic of Venezuela is
involved with Great Britain, Germany
and Italy. In fact, when the official
day closed, he had not received, for
mally or oficially, a request from the
European Powers that he act as arbi-
TRAITOR of the dispute. The statements
are made on the highest authority.
In an informal manner the President
has been notified that the European
Powers intimately concerned in the
present South American difficulty de-
sire that he should undertake the re-
sponsibility of acting as arbitrator of
the points at issue between them and
Venezuela. Thus far they have mere
ly been taking "soundings,' with a
view, probably, of ascertaining how he
would receive a formal proffer to act
as arbitrator
1t can be said that in response to
the suggestions he has received the
President, from the first intimation he
had that he was desired as arbitrator
of the Venezuelan controversy, has ex-
pressed emphatically his judgment that
the matters to be arbitrated should be
referred to The Hague Tribunal. His
view of the suggestions made has been
conveyed to the European Powers, to-
gether with strong presentation OF
his reasons for the view he holds. To
this latest phase of the Venezuelan
question, no response of a formal MA
ture has been received.
The President and Secretary Hay
had a long conference to-day after
the formers return from Virginia,
They went over carefully the situa-
ton as it had developed since Satur-
day, but it is understood that nothing
has arisen during the past As hours
to warrant the President in changing
his opinion as to the undesirability OF
his acceptance of the position of ar
bitrator.
The acceptance by the powers of the
principle of arbitration, as applied to
the Venezuelan question, is matter
of great qualification to the Presi-
dent and his cabinet. That all the
powers have intimated. too, that they
would prefer that the President should
arbitrate the present dispute than that
1t should be referred to the Hague
Tribunal, is taken as notable COM
pliment to the President personally
and to his administration. 1t is the
hope of the President and his advisers
however, that while there is precedent
for his acceptance of the post of ar
bitrator, the powers will consent to q
reference to the controverted matters

nal at The Hague.

The burned district is triangular in
form, the width of five stores on Gay
street and three on Commerce avenue,
leaving the corner building standing.
A lucky shifting of the wind was
all that saved the six-story McTeer

Hardware Company building gave the
flremen their chance to stop the pro-
gresS of the flames westward.
First estimates of the loss, placing
1t in the neighborhood of 100000,
were made when the stores of McTeer,
Hood & Co. wholesale clothiers;
Haynes &Henson, wholesale boots and
shoes. and Gillespie, Shields & Co.,
wholesale hats, seemed doomed. These
structures were, however saved.

BRANTLEY is CRITICAL.
Thinks Roosevelt Should Not Serve
as Arbitrator.

as Arbitrator.
Brunswick, Ga, Dec. 22.-Congress-
man w. G. Brantley and Mrs. Brantley
reached the city Sunday night from
Washington, spent the day in Bruins
wick yesterday and left last night for
Blackshear, where they will spend the
Christmas holidays, the guests of Mr..
Brantley's immediate family.
The Congressman was seen by the
Morning News representative. Mr..
Brantley thinks that the Venezuelan
affair is frought with dangers to the
United States, and thinks that Pres
ident Roosevelt would measure up to q
splendid standard of craftsmanship if
he refused to act as arbitrator on the
request of the allied powers. He thinks
that the nation is also a creditor of
Venezuela and that if President Roose-
welt should accept the call he would
be acting in the capacity of a judge
passing on his own cause.
Col. Brantley regrets that the special
Committee on Territories has practi-
cally denied statehood to Arizona and
New Mexico, but is glad that Okla
homa will be welcomed into the ma
ton. as it will be staunch Democrat
ic state.
He says that Uncle Joe Cannon of
Illinois will unquestionably be speaker
of the next House. inasmuch as
Payne of New York and Littlefield of
Maine have practically retired from
the race. He speaks very kindly of
Congressman Cannon and expresses
the sentiment that the veteran states
man from Illinois will make a sound
presiding officer.
Col. Brantley seems to think that the
Democratic party, on the whole, is in
better shape than it has been for many
years, and believes that with unity,
concert of action and sound platform,
it has a good chance to land its can
didates in the White House year after
next.
He will return to the city the latter
part of the week and will remain here
until Jan. 2, when he leaves for Wash
ington to be present at the recess ses-
sion, which opens JAM. s.

WOULD PLEASE GERMANY
To Have Roosevelt Act as the Ar
bitrntOr


Berlin. Dec. 22.-The blockade of the
Venezuelan coast will continue until a
definitive arrangement for arbitration
has been reached. Germany will be
well satisfied if President Roosevelt
undertakes the task. His acceptance
would be considered a sufficient guaran-
tee that Venezuela would pay if she
lost
Asking President Roosevelt to arbi-
trate was the Emperor's personal sug-
gestion. An indirect inquiry three or
four days ago, not eliciting a refusal
from the President, a request has now
been made in direct form. Although
Germany is ready to submit her case
to any impartial tribunal, she would
prefer President Roosevelt for the rea-
son that President Castro is more like
ly to accept the decision of the Presi-
dent of the United States than that of
The Hague tribunal.
If President Castro evades payment

people of the United States, it is claim
ed here, would with positive pleasure
see the allies compel him to pay up.
The United States are considered
here as emerging from the affair with
all credit. The Monroe doctrine has
peeH acknowledged by TWO Oh lHe
greatest Powers of Europe, President
Roosevelt has been accepted as arbi-
traitor by all the parties concerned, and
the South American states have been
persuaded by events that the United
States are the only Power between
them and Europe. The only annoying
thing to the German government has
been the alleged readiness of Ameri-
cans to suspect Germany of secret de-
signs. The reported extraordinary dis
trust of Germany has been a painful
surprise to the Emperor and to the
cabinet

WILL PROBABLY ACCEPT.
1t is Thought the President Will
Agree to Serve.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The United
States government is awaiting the re-
ception of formal answers from the
allied governments to the Presidents
last suggestion that the Venezuelan
dispute be referred to The Hague. So
far these response have not come to
hand, but it is pretty well understood
that they will hold out for the arbitra-
ton of President Roosevelt himself.
Signs point to the Presidents ulti-
mate acceptance of the trust, though
nothing positive is yet known on this
point. The State Department has
learned that President Castro would
welcome the selection of President
Roosevelt as arbitrator, and as all the
parties interested are united, the
pressure will be hard to resist.
Opinion varies as to the termination
of the blockade of the Venezuelan
ports. In some quarters it is assumed
that if President Roosevelt accepts the
duty of arbitrator, the allies will call
off the blockade at once. On the other
hand, it is pointed out that custom re-
quires the terms of the arbitration to
be. pretty accurately defined and this
will consume some time, pending which
the blockade will continue.
