TO GUARANTEE PAY.
The Se1igmans to Arrange For Pay
 Inent of Venezuela's Debts.

The seIigmans to Arrange For Pay-
 ment of Venezue1a's Debts.
 LONDON, Dec. 20-There is high au- thority for saying that the basis for ar bitration with Venezuela and settle ment of the, present dispute will be a guarantee by J. &, w. Seligman 6 Go, the New York bankers, of English and German claims to the extent of 5,400,- 900.
 It is expected that .he matter will be arranged within few days.
 r The Washington government, which has declined to be in any respect par ty to the financial transaction, has agreed to use it's good offices in support of MT. Seligman in the execution of the terms of his arrangement with Vene- Zuela.
 Great Britain has sent a reply to the United States in regard to the sugges- tion that the Ven ezuelan question should be submitted to arbitration The tenor of the reply, it is expected here, will tend to bring about some arrange ment for satisfactory solution, while thoroughly safeguarding the interests of the powers concerned.

Caba,s Developments.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-A striking picture of the development of Cuba since the Spanish war is presented in a report to his home government by Lio- nel Garden, the British minister at Ha- vana, copy of which has just reached Washington. The minister says: ''It is highly satisfactory to note the remark able progress the island has made in the past three years in spite of the de plorable condition in which it was left at the end of tha war. The production of sugar has risen from 335, 900 tons in 1899 to over S00,O00 tons in 1901 and probably will reach 1,O00,O00 tons in this years crop. The cultivation and manufacture of tobacco, asaweH as the minor industries, show considerable i'm proyement The stock of cattle on the island, thanks to large importations, is now probably upward Of 750,000, as compared with less than 100000 at the beginning of 1899, and, finally, the value of the exports has increased from f9, ,26O, GOO to f12, ,650, ,OOO.''

FAVOR ARBITRATION
Allies Will Accept, but With
 Reservations.
VENEZUELA CASE IS COMPLICATED
Replies to Proposal Received as Washington Indicate a Difficult Problem, Which May Go Be-
 fore Hague Tribunal.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-There are no further developments here respect ing the Venezuelan complications. The status of the arbitration proposition, on which every one waits, is that, with willingness to accept such solution in principle, no one of the allies is ready to submit unreservedly to arbi- tration. Tn each case there are reserva- tions or conditions insisted upon. Re specting the method of arbitration, if it should come to that form of adjust. ment, it is noted that the feeling is growing that The Hague tribunal should undertake the case.
 Mir. Bowen, it is reported, wishes to come to Washington in order person ally to effect an adjustment with the resident ambassadors of the allies; but, while, the state department makes no statement upon the point. it is believed that it does not regard this plan with favor.
 It is pointed out here in connection with the project to refer the matter to The Hague tribunal that in some phases the disputes will not admit of arbitration. Such is the case, for in stance, where attacks on British and German subjects and the German le- gation at Caracas and arrests of con sular officers have made the Vene- zuelan offense equivalent to attacks on the national honor of the allies and as such to be atoned for only by an ample apology. The Hague tribunal could not arbitrate such issues, but it is pointed out at the state department fha4 Iai1 or q iuic nd 41,ot if President Castro chooses to render the necessary apologies the remaining questions can properly go to The Hague. ..@ Secretary Hay has received partial responses from the governments of Great Britain, Germany and Italy re- specting the proposal to arbitrate the Venezuelan difficulties. Great Britain is favorable to arbitration with proper safeguards. Germany accepts arbitra- tion in principle, but finds multitude of small adjustments to be made be- fore entering into the agreement. Italy, as the junior partner of the allies, de- clares that she is favorable to arbitra- tion, but will be bound probably by the action of the senior partners. '.
 The German position presents the greatest difficulties, for not only does it involve a demand for apologies, which are extremely repugnant to Ven ezuelans, but also presents so many points requiring adjustment that it is evident that many days or perhaps weeks must elapse before the adjust ment can be effected and the case pre- pared for arbitration.
 The explanation of the visit of the cruiser Albany to La JGuayra, from which place she is to return immedi- ately to her position with Admiral Dewey's command, which is made here is that she is to transport a naval officer to assist Minister Bowen in the dis charge of the numerous duties that sud- denly have devolved on the minister.

 One Grade Last Night.
 The board of public safety held special meeting last evening for the purpose of inquiring into charges made against four call iremen and ezamin- ing two policemen who applied for pro- motion. The latter were Timothy J. Hickey and Lawrence. F. IaWlor. Their applications were granted with out any bother, they having been found qualified for the desired promotion with the usual Accompanying increase in pay
 The callmen were Stephen Bloom field and James BoWes of the Scoyill street engine house and Saunders and Howard of the Burton street house. They were charged with failing to re spond to. an alarm of fire December 12 from alarm box 261 at the corner of Cooke and North Main streets. An unusual thing developed in the exam nation. It turned out that the four accused are employed at the factory of the Rogers Bros. and that Second Assistant Engineer Byrnes is also em- ployed there; that the latter has a gong in his department which informs him of an alarm of fire. The week of the Eth there was something wrong with the gong, or with those who had sent in fire alarms. At all events there was no fire when the gong sounded, and sometimes when there was a fire the gong did not announce it. The gong connections with the fire alarm telegraph were wrong somewhere. However, the board was satisfied that it was not negligence on the part of the accused that caused their absence from the fire in question and they were accordingly discharged
 An application from Patrick Grou- den for a position as ca1lman and one from Joseph H. Roberts to be appoint ed a supernuuerary policeman, were filed. Chief Snagg was requested to inquire into the necessity of appoint ing new engineer at the Scovill street house, of buying third horse for ser vice e>in that house and he was ap- pointed to purchase some supplies.
