arbitrary acts against British subjects

Caracas, Dec. 18.-Today the CORE
spondent of the associated press saw
President Castro and questioned him
with regard to the report published
in the United States that the Anglo
German ultimatum had been accepted
by Venezuela. The president became
furious with rage and said that there
was no truth in the report, and he
added, "The acceptance of the ulti-
matum cannot be coupled with arbitra-
ton, besides the Anglo-German ulti-
matum is not, properly speaking, an
ultimatum.''
Await Answer.
When asked if it! was true that Ven.
ezuela was taking steps to arrange for
arbitration, and that arrangements in
this connection were well advanced
President Castro said. Venezuela does
not propose to determine on any steps,
while the proposition for arbitration
that the legation of. the United States
was charged to present to Great Brit.
ain and Germany, remains unanswer.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Navy depart

holidays. The plan provides for no
concentration of ships along the
Venezuelan coast and SO prudently
and adyisedly have its details been
drawn up that Secretary Moody cabled
the admiral the departments approval
of his orders. This will set at rest the
rumors that the United States contem-
plates, complicating the Venezuelan
situation by dispatching large naval
force to La Guayra as an Offset to the
allied fleet.
