Washington, Dec. S1.-Secretary
Hays view as to the proposed Ger
man programme in Venezuela was
communicated to the German gov
ernment in the shape of a written
memorandum. This supplemented
verbal exchanges that had taken
place in Washington between Am
bassador Won -Holleben and President
Roosevelt, directly, and between the
ambassador and Secretary Hay at
greater length. The state department.
positively declines to make public
the memorandum of its substance,
but it is pointed out again that the
basis of the United States repre-
sentations is to be looked for in the
utterances of President Roosevelt in
his annual message to congress
touching the Monroe doctrine in it's
application to South American cOun-
tries which do not pay their debts.
Nothing has been heard from Cara
cas- to sustain the report that United
States Minister Bowen, through 6r-
gent representations, has induced
postponement of the execution OF
the German programme. 1t is GER
tain that no instructions to that ef-
feet have been given Mr.. Brown,
though it is admitted that it would
be the duty of any United States
minister to exercise all Of his pow
ers within the lines of the general
policy of this country to prevent
possible bloodshed. Confrmatory ev-
idence is had from unofficial sources
of the purpose of the German gov
ernment at least to delay action
against Venezuela pending the issue
of the present revolutionary move
ment directed against President Cas-
tro.
president Roosevelt, in his annual
message to congress, in speaking of
the Monroe doctrine and our relations
with South American states. said:
eve do not guarantee any state
against punishment if it misconducts
itself, provided that punishment does
not take the form of acquisition of
territory by any non-American pow
err

oEIO POLITICAL FACTIONS.
VIII the Foraker or the Hanna
Forces Gain Control of the
New Legis1atures

Columbus, o., Dec. 31.-While the
friends of both Senator Foraker and
Senator Hanna each claim that they
have the votes to organize the legis-
lature, the truth is that neither side
has them, though neither is short
more than four votes of having a ma
iority of the caucus. Representative
Willus, of Hardin county, is claimed
by both sides, but he asserts that he
has not placed himself in either col
umn. He says there are nine mem
bers of the house who have not taken
a position, and that upon their atti-
tude, yet to be announced, depends
the result of the organization in the
house. Every possible influence is
being brought to bear by both fac
tions upon these doubtful members
who admittedly hold the key to the
situation.
Both senators express confidence IN
the outcome.
