ficnlty without anything further hap pening to vex the people of. the United States whose good will Is considered to be more important than the humiliation of Venezuela. Still Germany must have her claims satisfied and it Is thought President Castro will yield voluntarily in a. few days If not pushed any further: that the commercial classes in Venezuela will compel the settlement, or that the United States will offer to guarantee that Vene- zuela will pay up If she loses by arbitra- ton.
 The German commander in Venezuelan waters has been instructed to use ex- treme caution and avoid acts of force till he receives further orders.

Washington Dec. 1S.-As understood here, the blockade to be declared by the allies agair st Venezuela on Saturday is to be war blockade as contrasted with the peace blockade which has been in operation since the trouble with Venezuela assumed an acute stage.
 A. legal blockade is sometimes preceded by a declaration of war. but at times this formality is dispensed with and a blockade maintained just as though war had been formally declared. To all in- tents and purposes, war has existed and such conditions has been recognised by tho Governments of the allies.
 A formal declaration that a blockade has been established will be sent to all the powers, and it will be recognized by the United States Government. Follow ing the practice in such cases. this Gov ernment will maintain an attitude of neutrality towards the belligerents. which they practically become by the establish ment of the blockade, although whether Presidential proclamation announcing our neutrality to the world will be issued has not yet been decided upon. The mat ter will come up for definite determina- ton very soon. Our Government is for mally informed of the intention of the allies in the movements they are making in tho operations against Venezuela.
 As Mir. Bowen has only today been ap- pealed to to endeavor to effect an adjust ment of the difficulty, he has had as yet no opportunity of moving forward in his negotiations to point where he might reasonably expect the allied powers to cancel completely the remainder of their punitive program. Therefore, it is to be expected that the threatened blockade will be duly published next Saturday, un- less in the meantime Minister Bowen Is able to offer sufficient assurances that the Venezuelan Government is ready to meet the terms of their ultimatums. It can be stated positively that the assur- ances will not include direct guaran- tee by the United States of Venezuela s lia abilities.
