The ambassador explained to Secretary Hay

of her claims against Venezuela. such as France
had secured To this end polite but firm note
was addressed to the Caracas Foreign Office
after the ultmatums of Germany and Great
Britain had been sent. Pending a reply to this
note the Italian authorities did not resort to
drastic measures When the reply came it was
found to be not only rejection of all of ltalys

invite an early expression of opinion on the

Intense interest in the Venezuelan situation is
being manifested by Senators and Representa-
tives but the conservative and responsible men
of both parties disapprove any precipitate dis
cussion in Congress. and it is possible that even
resolutions Of inquiry, which usually passed
without question, may be held back by the Sen
ate and House committees 1t is regarded as
being undesirable at this time to have any gen
eraI debate in either house of Congress. for the
reason that foreign nations. unfamiliar with our
governmental methods and with the weight to
be given to the utterances of individual lesisla-
tors might attach altogether too much signiff-
canoe to the rash and unguarded utterances Of
men whose words express only their own opin-
ions and have no significance whatever as to

trouble He said he did not anticipate serious
difficulties as a result OF the effort of Great
Britain and Germany to collect their debts from
Venezuela; in fact it appeared to him that the
allies were already inclined to act with greater
conservatism in the premises. Mr.. Culom
deprecated the effort made in certain quarters
to magnify the Venezuelan affair into sensa-
ton of large proportions, and said that such a.
course was Ill judged and capable of breeding
trouble entirely out of proportion to the i'm

Washington. Dec 16-The Venezuelan dues-
tion occupied the attention of the Senate in ex-
ecutive session to-day for almost hour The
question came up informally almost imnaedi-
ateIy after the public was excluded Senator
Teller disclaiming all intention of being critical
and saving he merely desired information,
asked Senator CulIom. chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. what information
he possessed as to the Venezuelan affair. Mr..
Teller said that the situation such that
Senators felt that the Monroe Doctrine might
become involved at any time il the connpIiea-
ton should continue
Senator Cullom replied that he had no knowI-
edge of recent events not contained in the pub
lie prints. Messrs- Bacon, Hoar. Lodge and
Stewart all made remarks In none Of the ad-
dresses was anything harsh or critical said.
The tone of all the speeches. whether by Re
publicans or Democrats, was that the position
of this country should be one of watchfulness
There was general agreement that while the
means adopted by Great Britain and Germany
for the collection of their debts had been
strenuous they had thus far committed in
fringement of the Monroe Doctrine and there
fore had done nothing to which the United
States could take exception
THE ATTITUDE OF GERMANY.
This was the position of Senator Cullom. as
it was of other Senators who spoke. Mr.. Gull
Ionn said much light to the attitude of the
administration could be obtained by consulting
the correspondence conducted between the
State Department and the German Ambassador
year ago. He then called attention to the
fact that on December TO- 1901. the representa-
tive of Emperor William had brought the mat
ter of Venezuela's debts and her apparent in
difference to them to the attention OF the Sec
retary of State The German Ambassador in
his letter gave the department complete in
formation from the German point OF view or
the position of his government He said that
for seven years Venezuela had failed 70 pay
interest on a debt of about So.Wo,OOo 10 Ger
