BOTH CONFERRED.

Washington, Dec. 24.-The presi-
dent and Secretary Hay were in con-
ference some time this afternoon over
the proposals received today from
Germany and Great Britain about the
arbitration issues involved in the
Venezuelan controversy. They went
over the communications very thor
oughly, considering the subject from
every view point. The acceptance or
declination of the proposals by the
president is believed to hinge on the
nature of the restrictions the allies
have imposed on the arbitration,
If any conclusion was reached at
the conference b b,tween the president
and his secretary of state today the
fact was not made public. Inauirers
at the White House regarding the
presidents intention was referred to
Secretary Hay, and the latter sent
word to newspaper reporters who
called on him that there was no news
to give to the public on the subject.
1t is known that he is di sposed to
act with all speed in this matter for
he realizes that the conditions on the
blockade line are such that almost any
moment an unpleasant incident may
occur through the obstinacy of some
skipper OF from genuine misunder-
standing as to the terms of the block
