REFUSES TO YIELD.
President Castro Disposed to Go to
Extremes.

]
Extremes.
Berlin, Dec. 13-President Castro's
reply to the German uItimatum is a
refusal TO yield on any point. The for
eign office has not received the text of
President Castros reply but only bull
letin from the German charge daft
flares. Herr Won Pilgrim Baltazzi, dat
ed Dec 10 announcing that the pres
ident's answer had been placed in his
hands that day and that the Vene-
zuelan executive refused TO yield TO the
German demands on all points. This
telegram. with the text of the reply.
was filed at Port of Spain, island Of
Trinidad.
With this exception, the foreign Of
flee has received no news since yester-
day to indicate that the situation has
grown worse. A landing in force is
not considered probable under any con-
tingency. The orders to blockade the
coast stand and that is all the naval
commanders for the present are au-
thorized to do.
Any proposition that Minister Bowen
might make in behalf of President Cas-
tro would be received in a good spirit
and carefully considered out of regard
for the channel of it's transmission. but
no proposition to aTbitrate has yet
reached Berlin. Neither is the foreign
office aware that the United States has
made, so far, any suggestion for arbi-
tration. Herr Won Pilgrim BaltaZZi is
still on board a British vessel.
The foreign office here tonight had
not received a proposition TO arbitrate
through any channel. While il is said
that Germany's claims are regarded as
so clear and well grounded that it is
not easy to see how anything is left
to arbitrate, still it is again repeated
that such a proposal would be taken
into considerat ton if adequate reasons
were presented.
The statement that the United States
had given Germany and Great Britain
its consent to the landing of troops in
Venezuela is incorrect, because such
a landing has-not been the subject Of
negotiation.

vessels at La Guayra yesterday by the
Anglo German fleet have reached
here. At o'clock Tuesday afternoon
thirteen boats, manned by 24O British
and German seamen and towed by two
steam launches, without giving any
notification OF their intention to the
Venezuelan authorities, entered the
harbOr of La Guayra and proceeded to
tine docks. The German contingent, be-
longing to the cruisers Vineta and
Falk, went on board the Margarita,
formerly the torpedo boat Rayo, which
was given to Venezula by Ecuador,
and, with revolvers in hand, compelled
the men who were occupied in repair
ing her to abandon the ship. The Ger
man sailors smashed the torpedo tubes,
