washington Dec. 1s.-Immedately after the read
ing of the journal in the House to-day Mr.. Hit.
chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
ported back the De Almond and Mccall resolutions
calling on the Secretary of State for the facts
with relation to the claims of Great Britain and
Germany against Venezuela. and generally for a
ence to the Monroe Doctrine The report recon-
mended that the De Almond resolution lie on the
table and that the Mccall resolution. which called
for all the correspondence in the be adopted
Mr.. Richardson. Of Tennessee. asked why Italy
and other European countries which were figuring
in the controversy were not named in the resolu-
ton.
Mr.. Hit said he advised that the CORE
spondence was similar in each The recon-
mendations Of the committee were agreed to. and
the Mccall resolution adopted.
Representative Shafroth, of Colorado appeared
before the Committee Foreign Affairs to-day to
urge action on joint resolution ne has introduced
authorizing the President to propose Great Brit
ain and Germany TO submit their claims against
Venezuela to arbitration and to guarantee the pay
ment of the awards. Mr.. Shafroth said that
In Venezuela would make violence to the Monroe
Doctrine probable. He did not think the objection
that this guarantee might establish precedent

they arose He expressed the opinion that the
trouble in Venezuela would not end until the
United States guarantees payments of whatever de-
mands may be made. "Castro's proposal Is in

guarantee by the United States 1t can be given

NO ASSURANCES TO FRANCE.

Paris, Dec. 1s-An official of the Foreign
Office here after a careful examination of the
latest correspondence on the subject, said:
'I am unable TO confirm the report that Ger
many and Great Britain have given assurances
that French interests in Venezuela will be
protected"
The official added that the only information
on the subject here was contained in an an
nouncement made by the semi-official Berlin
Post" three days ago, saying Germany did
not intend to prejudice the rights of other
powers. 1t has been hoped here that this assur-
ance would take official form, but it has not yet
been given to the French Ambassador at Berlin
TO the Foreign. Office here.
The French Governments attitude toward
so called pacific blockade of the Venezuelan
ports has not yet been announced but respon
sible officials say that its attitude would un-
doubtedly be the same that of the United
States and favorable to unrestricted merchant

CASTRO, IN A RAGE, DENIES IT,
SAYS Venezuela Has Not Accepted Ultimatum
of the Allies

Caracas Dec 1S.-Early this morning the cor
respondent here of the Associated Press saw
President Castro and asked him regarding the
report published in the United States that the
Anglo-German uitimatum had been accepted
by Venezuela The President became furious
with rage. and said there was no truth in the
report He added:
1.-The acceptance OF uitimatum cannot be
coupled with arbitration. Besides, the Anglo
German ultimatum is not. properly speaking, an
ultinstum''
When asked II I. was true that Venezula- was
taking diplomatic steps to arrange for arbitra-
zion and that arrangements in this connection
were well advanced. President Castro remarked:
The government Of Venezuela does not pro-
pose to determine on any steps while the propo-
sition for arbitration that the legation OF the
United States was charged to present to Great
Britain and Germany remains unanswered"
At noon no answer the subject Of the pro-
posed arbitration had been received from Wash
tngton.

FRENCH NOTE TO VENEZUELA.
Demands Most Favored Nation Treatment
of Claims

Washington. Dec 1S-It was learned tonight
that France has addressed a note to her Char-e
d'Affaires at Caracas for submission to the
Venezuelan Government, stating the position she
will maintain with reference to claims of her
citizens. France makes a distinction between
claims originating before Castro's assumption
OF power and those arising since. The claims
of France prior to Castro's administration IT is
agreed, are 10 be settled by arbitration. The
claims arising since Castro became president
are to be adjusted by the French Minister at
Caracas and the proper ministerial officers OF
Venezuela. This was arranged some time ago
In the note sent to Caracas France takes the
position that claims arising since 1893, when
Castro became president. should have as favor
able treatment as is given to claims of Ger
many Great Britain and other countries AS TO
claims prior TO 1899 France says they shah be
net according to the nlost-favored nation treaty
clause and be met oat Of the customs receipts
The note is courteous but firm. France, 1t is an

THE KINGS SPEECH.
Reference 70 Tenezuela IN Pro
soguing Parliament.

London Dec 1S.-Parliament was prorogued
this afternoon by royal commission Only a
score of members of the House of Commons
were present when the Black Rod summoned
the lower house to the House of Lords to near
the Kings speech which was an unusually
long recaptulation of public events since Janu-
airy. including the action taken in connection
with Venezuela, regarding which the speech
said:
regret that the constant complaints which
my government found necessary to address
to the government Of Venezuela in regard to
subjects and property during the last two years
have been persistently disregarded and that
it has become necessary for my government,
acting in concert with that of his imperial
majesty the German Emperor, which also has
serious for complaint against the re-
public, to insist on measures of redress
The speech refers to the conclusion of the
South African War and adds:
There seems to be every reason to hope that
material prosperity greater than any the Trans
wall and Orange River Colonies have yet ex-
perienced may visit these regions and that
all sections Of the population may live to-
gether in friendship for each other and loyalty
to the Crown.
Paragraphs deal with the postponed coro-
nation, the Colonial Conferences and Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain's tour. which together
are expected to be of the utmost value both In
respect to their immediate effect and as
presidents in the future.
Other topics touched upon were the expedition
against the Mad Mullah and the cooperation
of Italy therein the acceptance by Chilli and
Argentina of the British boundary award, the
Brussels Sugar Convention and the alliance
between Great Britain and Japan which will.

has been averted by a plentiful rainfall. and
where the Coronation Durbar will be associated

cal prosperity.
The speech entirely omits the usual reference
to foreign relations.

Great Britain complains. The Foreign once

a landing in Venezuela says refutation of such
suspicious ought to be perceived in the slender
forces at the disposition of Germany. There are
scarcely three hundred men who could be spared
from the squadron, not sufficient number to
take La Cuayra, let alone form an expedition
into the interior.
L is not settled whether the notification of the
beginning of the blockade will occur in Berlin
and London simultaneously or take the form of
q communiCa ton from the two commanders or
the squadrons to The Venezuelan authorities.
The publication WILL apparently, be delayed a
DAY two.
The officials of the Foreign Office say that the
reply to Venezuela's arbitration proposal has not
vet been sent. The Foreign Office is still ex-
changing views on the subject with London. AL
though the Foreign Office does not give the least
hint of the character of Germany's reply, il seems
certain that arbitration will not be accepted.
though the refusal may be accompanied by fresh
suggestions.

that the blockade of La GUayra, notification OF

many was communicated 20 the Venezuelan Gov
