HAS NOT YET ACCEPTED.
IN Fact. the Formal Eeauest Has Not Yet
heen rendered.


Washington. Dec. 23.-President
Roosevelt has not accepted the posi-
ton of arbitrator OF the Venezuelan
controversy. In fact. when the official
day closed he had not received. form
ally or officially. request from the
European powers that he act as arbi-
TRAITOR of the dispute. These state
n.ents are made on the highest nI-
thority.
In an informal manner the preAi-
dent has been notified that the Euro
psan powers intimately concerned in
the present South American difficulty
desire that he should undertake the
u Sponsibiliiy of acting as arbitrator
OF the points AZ issue between them
rnd Venezuela. Thus far they merely
have been taking "sounuings," with
= view, probably. of ascertaining how
he would receive a formal proffer to
act as arbitrator. The president, as
soon as he received the first in
timation that he was desired
70 he arbitrator Of the Venezuelan
controversy, expressed emphatically
his Judgment that the matters 10 he
arbitrated should he referred 10 The
Hague tribunal. His view Of the sug-
gcstions made has been conveyed 70
the European powers, together with
a strong presentation Of his reasons
for the view he holds. No response ~
formal nature 10 these representa-
tions has been received.
The president and Secretary Hay
had long conference Monday after
the formers return from his Virginia
"trip. They carefully went over the
situation as IL had developed since
Saturday. SO far as can be learned no
specific reasons have been advanced 10y

massed all around them and finally
they surrendered. Bray and the Eng
lishman, a man named Moss, were
wearing British uniforms at the time
of the surrender, but had thrown away
their arms. The Englishman confessed
that he had deserted from a British
regiment and was court-martialed. He
was sentenced to death, but Mr. Bray

whether the man was executed. Bray
was also court-martialed and tried as
a spy, the only evidence against him
being that he was found with Boer
force while wearing a British UNIFORM
Sentence of death was passed upon him.
He protested. He was an American clt-
izen and called for a trial when the
American consul at Cape Town could
be communicated with. But here some
mysterious power interviewed and IN
stead of being shot he was sent with
numerous others in a train composed
of cattle trucks to Green Point, Cape
