On the Blockade Line.
By the Associated Press.)

La Guaira, Dec. 26.-The Swedish bark
Framas, from Cardiff, with ATS tons of
coal for the La Guaira Railroad, a
British concern. arrived off this port
yesterday, was ordered to remain out
side the blockade line. Today orders
were conveyed to the captain OF the bark
to leave. This step was taken because
the coal was considered contra band of
war. The vessel was not seized as she
left Cardiff before the trouble with
Venezuela commenced. The captain of
the Framus is awaiting orders from his
consignees.
The Dutch consul here has asked for
and obtained the permission of the COM
mander OF the British cruiser Tribune to
send schooner to Los Roques. a group
of small islands about 120 miles north of
here, where the charcoal burners who
trade with La Guaira are at present
without provisions or water their sloops
having been seized by the blockaders
The schooner must carry a flag of truce
She can only take enough provisions to
last the trip and she will remove all the
inhabitants of Los Roques to Willem-
stad, Curacao, and then return here.
Two schooners were captured this
morning. The total number of craft
taken by the blockaders is now twenty.

Comment at Berlin.
(By the Associated Press.)

Berlin, Dec 27.-The German govern
ment is disappointed by President Roose-
velts declination to be arbitrator in the
Venezuelan dispute, but in pursuance of
his decision will correspond at once with
Great Britain and Italy on the subsidiary
questions to be agreed upon, such as
raising the blockade and the definite
form of request, whereby Venezuela on
one side and Germany, Great Britain and
Italy on the other. will ask The Hague
tribunal to adjudge the dispute.
The interchange of views on these and
other requirements probably will take
place at Washington, where the ambas
sadors can confer freely with Secretary
Hay, and obtain through him President
Iastro's assent to the precise PROPOSE
tions. The German Foreign Office con-
siders Washington a convenient place for
further negotiations. Foreign Secretary
Won Richthofen regrets the long delay.
which is likely to ensue before the final
adjustment of the controversy. He had
relied upon President Roosevelt per-
sonally to take up the case and reach a
decision quickly.

Desperate Burglars Rob a

(By the Agsociated press.1

st. Louis, Dec. 27.-The bank at Union
Mo-, was robbed of $4,000 in a sensa-
tional manner by burglars between 1 and
a. m. today, according to special ito
the Post-Dispatch.
Residents in the vicinity of the bank
were aroused by the sound of an explo-
sion and some of them rushed into the
street. The burglars, then leaving the
bank, opened fire at random and were
successful in intimidating the would be
captorsi until they had made their escape
in safety Oscar Busch, a hardware man,
who put his head out of a window only
to be confronted with the muzzle of a
pistol, states that only two men left the
bank. Other accounts place the number
of burglars at seven.
With the departure of the robbers an
examination of the vaults was made 1t
was discovered that all the money was
gone. The building was completely
wrecked. No clue to the robbers, who
are believed to be professionals, has been
discovered

Guam May Become a Costly Toy.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 26.-The annual re-
Port of Commander Seaton Schroeder,
governor of the Island of Guam, which
is dated July 16, and which has just
reached the Navy Department, indicates
rather serious condition with refer
ence to the finances of the island owing
to the failure of Congress to appropriate
the sum asked for last year. The re-
ceipts last year were in round numbers
$4,000, and the expenditures $4,000,
leaving a balance of $4,000 which, how
ever, is a decrease of over $1,000 in the
cash balance for the preceding year. This
loss is largely due to the unexpected ex-
penses incident to the establishment of
the leper colony and the decrease of over
$4,000 in import duties. The census of
the island taken last autumn shows the

Roosevelt had been anticipated as so de-
sirable an issue from a difficult business
that mis- refusal, which is regarded as
final, has caused keen disappointment

President Roosevelt's note on the subject
of Venezuelan arbitration. The Presi-
dent says that he is very gratified at the
confidence the powers have shown in
him by choosing him as arbiter, which
position he would have accepted had
there been no other means of solving
the question. He thinks it better to sub
NIT the case to The Haue Tribunal, es-
pecially as all the people concerned are
willing. The President adds that as
there is no question of national honor or
cession of territory involved, after
thorough consideration, and in accord
with all the powers concerned, who have
shown an honorable spirit of mutual
consideration and moderation, he is glad
to be informed that they all have agreed
to submit the question to The Hague
Tribunal.

LOCKED IN THE ICE
Death StareS the Crew of the
Steamer Hopkins in
the Face.
(By the Associated Press.)

Toledo, Ohio, Dec. 26.-The steamer A.
L. Hopkins, which left Detroit last Tues
day morning enroute to Toledo, and
which was sighted abreast of Toledo
light in Maumee Bay yesterday, is now
completely in the grasp of the ice and in
grave danger of being crushed and sunk
by the ice. Yesterday a tug tried to
reach her but failed to do so. This
evening the mate and two sailors of the
vessel came to the city after a perilous
trip over the ice. They were nearly
frozen and tell an awful story of the
condition of affairs on the boat
The three men who came in were John
Baker, mate, of Buffalo; Albert Walters,
Lorain, and William Yates, of Detroit.
They were sent in by the captain to learn
if anything was being done for the relief
of the boat. According to the story
told by the mate the vessel had little
trouble in getting through the ice until
it reached the bay. Then it attempted to
turn back to Detroit, but was unable to
got through the channel it had made six
hours before. Then the vessel was taken
back to a point off Toledo where it was
caught in the ice and from which grasp
it has not as yet been freed.
The crew is living on bread and water
The only food the members of the crew
had on Christmas day was piece of
bread, slice of bacon and a baked
potato. Since that they have had moth
ing save bread. The greater portion OF
the trip across the ice was made on the
hands and knees. The boat has crew of
twelve men. The coal supply will not
last twelve hours.

THE GOVERNMENTS
EXCHANGING NOTES
Preparing to Submit the Case
to Arbitration.
SECRECY NOW OBSERVED
It Stated However. That the Terms of the
Arbitration Agreement Are in Fair
Way to be Speedily Adjusted.
fBy the Associated Press }

Washington. d. c., Dec. 27.-There is
now in progress an active exchange Of
notes between the allied powers, tene-
zuelt and the United States respecting the
method of submitting to arbitration the
issues which have arisen between Vene-
zuela and the allies. Questions are be-
ing put and answers are forthcoming,
but it is said that the negotiations are
in such shape that it would be extremely
injudicious and indiscreet to make each
phase public ii there really existed de-
sire to reach a satisfactory settlement.
1t is explained at the State Department
that the part of the United States gov
ernment Just now is that of good friend"
to all parties; that it is not undertaking
to draw uD protocols. or impose limita-
tions upon the parties. but is confining
its Offices to getting them together and
keeping them so. In this view it will not
be necessary for our government to pre-
scribe how the Monroe Doctrine shall or
shall not figure in the protocols; it will
Judge for itself by results how our inter-
ests are affected and will not indulge in
premature or uncalled-for protests.
AS for the terms of the arbitration
agreement it is stated that they are in
a fair way to be speedily adjusted. but
nothing is said of the details. It is pre-
sumed that the allies will agree to termi-
nate the blockade, though no stipulation
has yet been entered into on that point
Nothing has been heard recently Of The
part to be taken by the United States
Minister Bowen in the final settlement,
and it begins to appear that, after al,
Venezuela will probably be represented
by one of her own people.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-12-28

ance that at the end President Castro
still will be in power or Venezuela in the
mood to abide by the decision of The
Hague. In short that element OF guar
antee which would have accompanied
President Roosevelt's acceptance of the
office of arbitrator is now lacking. At
the same time it is readily admitted that
from the American point of view. Presi
dent Roosevelt has acted wisely in de-
clining to act.
The foregoing represents the. general
drift of newspaper comment this morn
