total number OF cattle to be slaughtered TO

AS soon as possible the barns and prem

The state department has learned that
President Castro would welcome the Sc
lection OF President Roosevelt as arbi-
traitor and since all the parties interested
are united the pressure will be hard to
resist.
Opinion varies as to the termination of
the blockade OF the Venezuelan ports. In
some quarter II is assumed that IL Presi-
dent Roosevelt accepts the duty Of aEbi-
traitor. the allies will call of the block
ade at once. On the other hand IL is
pointed out that custom requires that the
terms OF the arbitration shall be accurate
iy defined and this will consume some
time pending which the blockade may
continue.
NEUTRAL ATTITUDE.
The Hague. Dec. 22.--The government OF
the Netherlands has decided to observe a
strictly neutral attitude in the venezue-
Ian trouble. Ships of the blockading
