GERMANY EXPECTS APOLOGY
The Blockade Is DeIayed-No Seizure Of
: -. = ---..,.:.- Territory.


~ - - Territory. .
Berlin. Dec. 1S.-Aside from the finan-
cial claims mentioned In her ultimatum
Germany expects some form Of apology
from Venezuela for the diplomatic insults
which the foreign office says are more Sc
rious and more gross than those of which
Great Britain claims. The foreign office
officials point out that Premier Balfour's
remark yesterday. evening in the. British
house OF commons about Germany having
other than financial claims must be under
stood as applying to diplomatic reparat1on
for the insults and not to material in
tdemnity, like money or territory. 49,
~ No Seizure Of Territory -"
. The foreign office is again calling atten-
ton to suspicious in the United States lest
Germany effect landing in Venezuela.
It says refutation Of such suspicious
ought to be perceived in the slender forces
at the disposition of Germany. There are
scarcely 800 men who could be spared
from the squadron, not a sufficient number
to take La Guaira let alone form an expe-
dition into the interior.
XII The Blockade Is Delayed: "
It is not settled whether the notification
Of the commencement Of the blockade will
be made public in Berlin and London sim
ultaneously. or toxic the form Of a commun-
ication from the commanders Of the
squadrons to the Venezuelan authorities.
The publication will apparently be delayed
a day or two.
H. The Arbitration Proposal
The officials Of the foreign office say
that the reply to Venezuela's arbitration
proposal has not yet been sent. The for
eign office is still exchanging views on
the subject with London. Although the
foreign office does notagive the least hint
Of. the character of Germany's reply it
seems certain that arbitration will not be
accepted, though the refusal may be ac-
companied by fresh suggestions.
No Cause to DIstrust Germany.
The Cologne Gazette, in an evidently in
spired statement published to-day, en-
deavors to allay the uneasiness regarding
Germany's actions in Venezuela which,
according to practically all the special dis
patches coming from America, prevails in
the United States.
There are no facts says the state
ment, Ito support the distrust of Germany
expressed in many quarters. The govern
ment Of the United States knows well
that Germany as little thinks Of seizing
Venezuelan territory as Of planting her
flag on the mountains OF the moon. Even
IL we could annex Venezuela without a
protest from the United States, we would
forego so doing, as complications with
| the United States would be bound to fol-
How. Germany does not think Of waging a
land war. She believes she can force
/ her Just demands by means of a blockade.
The real cause OF her action was the
