traitor of the Venezuelan eontro-
Tersy. The whole vexatious subject
will be referred for adjudication to The
Hague tribunal
Epitomized. this was the situation as
1t had resolved itself at the conclusion
of the cabinet meeting today. The
meeting was not so long as the ses-
sions usually are.
No intimation is given of Sthe con-
ditions which may have been imposed
by the European powers or by Pres
ident Castro precedent to arbitration.
1t is known that Great Britain was
willing to submit the subject to the
arbitration of President Roosevelt
practically without conditions. but the
suggestion is made that one, and per-
haps two, of the other powers involved
proposed some conditions which might
have proved embarrassing to the pres
ident had he undertaken the response

whether the allies insist upon apol-
Ogies from Castro and. while it is as
sumed that the blockade will be
speedily raised. no arrangement to that
end has vet been made. All the MEM
bers except Secretary Root were pres
s<snt. The Venezuelan question was the
principal and practically the only topic
of general concern under consideration.

ernments at London, Berlin, Rome and
Caracas. In accordance with the sug-
gestion made by President Roosevelt
through Secretary Hay. President Cas-
trO was reported TO have agreed 70

Eion of the tribunal at The Hague.
The Allies Consented.
The European powers. not only con-
scented to submit the controversy OF

pressed a preference for an arbitration
to be conducted by President RoOse-
Welt. they had assented to his sug-
gestion that the matter be referred to
The Hague.
The presentation Of the case met the
hearty approval of the cabinet. Nc
fear is expressed by the administra-

manner that might result in an en-
barrassing situation for the United
