GERMANS NOT PLEASED.
Acceptance of Arbitration Not Received
With Popular Favor.

Berlin. Dec. 30.-The German govern
ment is completely silent as to when the
Venezuelan blockade will be raised or
whether 1t will be raised at all until
every question concerning arbitration is
settled The acceptance of arbitration
after the blockade was begun is cer-
tainly not received with popular favor
Iii Germany.
General Won Boguslawski, one of the
foremost military writer's, contributed
to the Tagliche Rundschau his views
upon the Monroe doctrine, and argues
that the withdrawal of the blockade at
this stage would show singular weak
ness
After abiding to the late Prince Bis
rnarck's expression that the Monroe
doctrine was "a great piece of impu-
dence," the general says:
s.rlrat was a true word. America Is
divided into many states. In varieties
Of race and language she is hardly sec
ond to Europe. How can one state as
eert that it has the right of interfer-
ence and protection over the entire con-
finent, and that it Will tolerate only un-
der certain conditions any action, how
ever just, of European nations against
al, American state? A further ques-
dion lis how it happens that this doc
trine, set up eighty years ago by an
American statenlan, has been able TO
Justify itself in fact with absolutely no
Justification in the law of nations
When the United States feels herself
threatened thru any occupation of ter
rftory, of course, she has the right, like
any other nation, to raise protest, and
if necessary employ force. But there
anugt be no talk of even an apparent
recognition of the Monroe doctrine as
an international law principle on the
part Of European nations. If the lat

can not be blamed for sparing the
United States sensitiveness to the
greatest extreme and in seeking an

THE KIDNAPPING OF AMEs.
Or. Herrera of the Urusuayan Legation
Tells What He Knows.

Or. Herrera of the Uruguayan Legation
Tells What He Knows.
Washington, Dec. 30.-Dr, Herrera,
first secretary and charge daffaires of
the Uruguayan legation, called on Sec
retary Hay yesterday in regard to the
case of young Joseph Preston Ames,
who, his aunt, Mrs. Sparhawk, alleges
was deported from the United States
with the assistance of officials of the
Uruguayan legation here.
DR.. Herrera outlined the history of
the case briefly to the secretary as he
knew it. According to his statement,
the boy was brought to the Uruguayan
legation some weeks ago by his mater
nal cousins, who asked DR.. Herrera to
take charge of him, as they did not
wish his fathers relatives to get pos
session of the boy DR.. Herrera is a
bachelor, and while he always is ready
to lend a helping hand to his fellow
countrymen, he did not care to assume
the guardianship of young boy. The
case as represented to him, showed
clearly that the boy was a Uruguayan
citizen, having been born in that coun-
try.
Furthermore, his cousins declared
that the boys mother, on her deathbed,
had requested that her child be reared
in Uruguay DR.. Herrera, in view of
these facts. advised the boys cousin,
Edward Larroque to make affidavit to
that effect before a notary that their
action might not be challenged The
boy was taken to New York by his
cousins and from there sailed to Uru-
quay. Several days later a notice of
Mrs. Sparhawk's appointment as guar
dian was presented to the charge DAFT
faires, but the boy, not being in his
possession, he was unable to turn him
over to his aunt.
DR.. Herrera is quite willing to throw
all the light possible on the case, and 50
informed the secretary.
