ARBITRATION
IN PROGRESS
AA' AAO NO0
Allies Announce, However,
That It Must be With Ger
tain Reservations.
die CASE ISC0MPLICATED
Replies to Proposal Indicate a
Difficult Problem, Which
May Go Before Hague
Tribunal.

WASHINGTON, Dec. zo.-Inere are
no further developments here respect
Ing the Venezuelan complications The
status Of the arbitration proposition, on
which every one waits. is that, with a
Willingness to accept such solution
IN principle no one Of the allies Is
ready to submit unreservedly to arbi-
fration. In each case there are reserva-
tions or conditions insisted upon. Re-
'spectisg y had- of arb ira tion, 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.
Mr.. 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.
1t 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-
cation at Caracas and arrests of con-
Sular officers have made the Vene-
Euelan 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
that the claims are divisible and that
II President Castro chooses to render
the necessary apologies the remaining
questions can properly 60 to The
Hague.
Secretary Hay has received partial
responses from the governments of
Great Britain, Germany and Italy re-
specting the proposal to arbtrate the
Venezuelan difficulties. Great Britain
Is favorable to arbitration with proper
safeguards. Germany accepts arbitra-
ton in principle, but finds multitude
fore entering into the agreement. Italy,
as the junior partner Of the allies, de-
clares that she is favorable to arbitra-
ton, but will be bound probably by the
action of the senior partners.
The German position presents the
greatest difficulties, for not only does
1t involve a demand for apologies,
which are extremely repuenant to Ven
ezuelans, but also presents so many
points requiring adjustment that it is
evident that many days or perhaps
weeks must elapsc before the adjust
mcnt can be effected and the case pre-
pared for arbitration.
The explanation Of the visit Of the
cruiser Albany to La Gllayrn. from
which place she is to return immcdi-
ateIy to her position with Admiral
Drwcy'S command which is made here
is that she is to transport Il naval officer
to assist Minister Bowen in the dis
charge of the numerous duties that sud
denly have dcvolvcd on the minister.

Second Burning Of Mill.

The feed mill and sorghum factory
of John G. Martin was completely
destroyed by fire on the night of
Thursday, Oct. 9th. The fire was first
discovered about II 80 o'clock, and
an alarm sent in Immediately, but be-
fore the fire company arrived the
flames had complete possession of
the building. The origin of the fire is
unknown. There were no combusti-
bles in the part of the building where
the fire was first discovered except a
small pile of hay, about foot high.
Presumably the flame started from
the engine, however. Total loss on
building, machinery and stock is es-
timated at $4,000. No insurance. This
is the second mill property Mr.. Mar
tin has lost by fire On the same
ground.
