NO REPLY READY.
Germany Considering venezuela's Ar
bftratisn Proposal.


Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE German gov
eminent has not yet replied to Presi-
dent CastrS's offer Of arbitration, be-
ing still in correspondence with the
British government on the subject. 1t
is intimated that Ensland's reply is
not liable to be ready for some days.
The opinion in the cabinet appears to
be that President Castro's proposals
are merely q move IN q game designed
to see what Germany and Great Brit
Ain are now willing to do and as
test also of American public feeling.
The prevailing idea here at present
Is that it is too late to arbitrate and
that the acceptance of the offer to do
SO would place Germany in the posi-
ton of having put her hand to the
plow and as looking backward. The
governments concern at the present
moment is to guide the application OF
force so as to avoid what could be
taken internationally as declaration
Of war, resulting in the recognition
Of Venezuela as belligerent. The
conduct of the United States is regard
I'd in diplomatic opinion here as being
strong and dignified and the state de-
partment's handling of the affair is
looked upon as establishing Europe's
RECOGNITION of the Monroe doctrine, be-
cause every step OF Germany and
Great Britain was made after taking
INTO consideration what the United
States thought of it. At the same time
t Is believed events in Venezuela are
saving the United States many future
complications by letting the Latin re-
publies understand that the United
States Will not protect them from the
effects Of financial delinquency and
internal disorder.

HOPING FOR ARBITRATION.
VenezueIans Anxious Their Proposal
Be Accepted.

Caracas, Dec. 1.-THE governor of
Margarita island reports that British
and German warships are off that ISL
and.
Minister Bowen has politely refused
% have a monster patriotic parade
pass before the United States legation.
Everyone here hopes that the arbitra-
ion proposed by Venezuela through
Mr.. Bowen and Washington will be
granted.
When the combined fleets seized the
Venezuelan ships at La Guayra, the
German commander delivered to the
Venezuelan captains the following doe
lment: J
by order Of my sovereign and at
he command of the commodore of the
German squadron in West Indian wa
,ers, l, the commander of the Panther,
request you to lower your ships flag
Immediately and leave your ship with
your crew within ten minutes. This is
not a measure of war on the part of
Germany, but only with the object of
making a provisional seizure of your
ship in order to oblige the Venezuelan
government to recognize our just de-
mands. In case you disobey and wish
to defend your ship, shall be obliged
to prevent you from SO doing by the
discharge OF arms"

Washington, Dec. 7.-President
Roosevelt and his cabinet had one of
the most extended and important meet
ings that has been held this year. For
eigl affairs practically consumed the
entire time of the session. The Vene-
zuelan situation was discussed in all
it's phases, but No conclusion was
reached different from that which has
actuated the president and his advis-
ers throughout the consideration OF the
troubles between Venezuela on the
one side and Germany and England on
the other. From an authoritative
source tho information is obtained
that there will be no recession on the
part Of this government with respect
to questions involving Venezuela or
any other Of the governments of South
or Central America as laid down by
the president in his message to con-
gress. Every detail of the develop
ment in the Venezuelan situation is be-
ing scrutinized with the utmost care.
1t can be said authoritatively that
no apprehension exists in the minds OF
any of the administration officials that
serious trouble growing out OF 1t will
accrue to this country. It is believed
that both Great Britain and Germany
will act within the arrangement which
originally was presented to this gov;
eminent and to which the United
States passively assented.

State Department Will Not Protest
Against Bombardment.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Minister
Bowen has confirmed the press reports
to the effect that the guns Of the al
lied fleet which bombarded Puerto Ca
bello Saturday were directed entirely
at the Notifications and not at the
town.
Regrettable as it was this statement
relieves the affair of the first Sus-
picion that it constituted violation
of international law, in the fact that
twenty-four hours notice was not
served of the bombardment. The re-
quirement as to notice applies to I'M
fortified or fortified towns where the
fire must be directed upon the inhab-
itants, and this was not the case at
Puerto Cabello, so that while the Of
ficials here regret that the firing took
place they have as yet no cause to pro-
test. But it is now probable that the
United States will break its attitude
of inactivity In tho event that an at
tempt is made to enforce the peace

ship. Whom the allies were consider

Venezuela to terms and . blockade of

United States that when tho blockade

shipping, though no effort would be
made to seize the ships. The United
States government made no response
to this statement ut the time Qast

before presentation of an actual case,
But now that tho blockade Is sought
to be established Secretary Hay has
informed the German govefhwent that
American ships should not be inter.

inhibition applies to all shipping, and

Four Thousand Miners Employed by

New York, Dec. IGNORE than
1000 miners at Drffton, near Hazleton,
will so cut on strike Wednesday unless
their employers adjust grievances they
complain of before that, time, says q
dispatch from Scranton to the Press.
The shipment OF coal to New York
will be decreased 10000 tons a day If
this strike is declared.
The dissatisfied miners are en-
ployed by Coke Bros. & Co., the large
Independent operators. They say that
the company has repeatedly refused
to re-employ all it's union miners. Dis
trict Presidents Duffy Fahy and Mich
OILS, who are here, have had con-
ference regarding this Question. Duf.
fly upholds the attitude of the Drifton
miners, but the other district presi-
dents, together with the attorneys
representing the miners before the
strike commission, are doing their ut
most to prevent a\suspension of work.
They believe that the action of the
Drifton miners in declaring strike
before they see whether the commits
sioners intend to protect their rights
in their decision will nave a bad effect.

Venezuela.
Caracas, Dec. 1.-THE Italian min
lister, Senior Rivas, only handed to the
Venezuelan government certain de-
Enands which were not in the form Of
an ultimatum and which did not speci-
fly any limit of time for an answer.
His note simply asked for payment of
sums due to Italy and in case of pay
ment being made to other countries
it asked for the same treatment.
The government answered in the
negative to the note of Minister Rivas,
saying that tribunals exist in Venezue-
la to judge any claims arising from the
revolution.
The Associated Press correspondent
is informed that the Italian minister
has cabled to Rome for further in
structions.
There is no excitement among the
people here against Italy because as
yet no Italian naval demonstration has
taken place.
