I.ondcn, Dec. ,, 1 a. ma joint naval dem
onstration Of British and German fleets against
Eenezuela has been submitted for coercive
measures by single power. The object of this
dual arrangement is TO render the menace of the
seizure Of customs and temporary interruption
Of President Castro's financial supplies so for
nidable that the claims of both powers will be
taken ip and settled. There are rumors in
diplomatic circles that the State Department at
WASHINGTON after securing positive pledges
from the German Government that the Monroe
Doctrine should be respected. and the debts
collected without permanent occupation of any
r.ort or island, has encouraged England to adopt
similar coercive measures simultaneously This
action is attributed to the double purpose of
keeping Germany under restraint in its enforce
1nent of coercive measures and Of averting a
seizure Of the customs by compelling the Venez-
uelan dictator TO yield TO the demonstration by
The two fleets The English press cannot resist
The temptation of holding Mr. Cleveland and Mr.
-fllney responsible for Castro's obstinate neglect
and refusal 10 settle bills for damages for vari-
Gus infringenents of international and CONNER
cnI law. but there is no suggestion that the
--esent administration in Washington has done
anything except TO restrain the iulPatienoe Of
the German and British governments and warn
Venezuela that honest debts must be paid not
renualated The details of the two sets of sriev-
anees are withheld, but it is suspected that the
British case is not so strong the German,
and that the blockade of the Orinoco has been
more effective than the officials of British
f1iana have represented
The amount of the German claims in peheS-
uela is said TO be about 9loo0.eo0 hoiVars. OF
