DUTY OF UNITED STATES.
London Papers Think Uncle Sam
Should Coerce Venezuela.


Should Coerce Venezuela.
London, Dec. 12.-Up to a late hour
last night the foreign Office was still
without further official news about the
situation in Venezuela.
While there is no confirmation of the
rumors of fighting in La Guayra, the
newspapers this morning are begin
ming to show a keener appreciation of
the serious possibilities involved by
President CastFo's continued defiance.
This feeling will hardly. be lessened by.
a report that a British vessel has been
seized at Puerto Cabelio. and it is
shown in the eager demands upon
government 20 parliament docu-
ments explaining the grounds for it's
action, so that the country shall be
no longer in doubt as to what provo
cation the government has received.
Questions as TO how it will be- pos
sible to enforce the payment of Great
Britain's demands upon Venezuela
without costly military operation, and
whether even the occupation OF the
capital OF that country would achieve
the desired result. are being asked.
Discussing the Outcome.
It is recognized that President Cas-.
tro has nothing to lose and that the
Nenezuelans are incensed at the sink
their internal dissensiOns and make a
stout resistance. hoping for some as
sistance from the United States or
France. Much gratitude is expressed
at Minister BOwen's prompt interven-
ton in behalf of the British and Ger
man residents. and alarm is expressed
at the possible fate OF British subjects,
not only in the coast towns, but in the
interior of Venezuela.
Through all the editorial articles pub
lished this morning there runs a strong
vein of hope. more or less openly ex-
pressed, that the United States will in
terfere in some way to secure an ad-
Justment Of the difficulty acceptable TO
both sides. either by arbitration or
other means. and thus avoid HOSTILE
ties. Some newspapers even go so far
As 10 argue that it is the duty of the
United States to cOerce Venezuela into
satisfying foreign claims.
