VERY LITTLE PROSPECT
10 Seen at London Of Peaceful Settle
ment With London.

London, Dec. 17.-Judging from
statements given out by the foreign
office. Tuesday. the Venezuelan situa-
ton does not appear to be any nearer
a settlement. Up to a late hour no
suggestion had been made that Great
Britain could eventually see its way
to submitting its claims to arbitration
and the foreign office points out that
Nenezuela's offer to arbitrate is ex-
tremely vague. The foreign Office
claims that some matters are impos-
sible to arbitrate. instancing the dis
respectful treatment of Mr.. Haggard.
! British minister to Venezuela. and all
his representations.
The foreign office appears to be with
out cognizance of the attitude of the
Washington government. although it
is convinced unofficially that WASH
lngton is anxious that further HOSTILE
lies be avoided. 1t is known that the

foreign office has made inquiry as to
whether the United States would be
willing to guarantee the fulfilling of
venezuela's pledges, either at the i'm
mediate cessation of the present Eu-
ropan action. or pending the award of
arbitrator. This inquiry resulted in
direct negative from the United
States.
With the guarantee of the United
States, the foreign Office says, arbitra-
ton in the Venezuelan matter would
be an immediate probability. but with
only the word of government hither-
to unreliable. arbitration is difficult of
accepting, even upon the points where
international relations admit OF such
method of settlement.

memory by frequent reference to it. He
said Daniel r. HodgdCn served in his
company. He knew him before he en-
listed and remembered him well after
his enlistment. The respondent. he tes-
tilted. was not Daniel Hodgdon. Hodg-
don was of slight build, about So years
old, feet, inches in height and had
dark hair. dark eyes and was of dark
complexion. Witness said he saw the
respondent several years ago at the
Topsham post office. Respondent at
that time asked witness if he knew him.
Witness testified he replied that he did
not, whereupon Poolr told him he was
Hodgdon who had served in company
ID. Witness replied, "Hodgdon wasn't
so big as you
Pocler answered, witness testified. II
wasn't SO big when l enlisted" Pooler
asked witness to sign a pension paper
for him but witness said he couldn't do
it.
Small was closely cross examined by
counsel for the defence who endeaVOre,l
to show that witness memory was de-
feCtive.
Lieut.. George +. Remission of Booth
bay Harbor, was next called to the wit
ness stand. He testified that he re-
membered Hodgdon who served in Co
ID, and also that he was positive the re-
spondent was not that man.
On cross-examination, witness was
asked Are you absolutely sure this
man isn't Daniel r. Hodgdon?''
Witness replied, you might just as
well put = woman in the dock and ask
me if she is Hodgdon.'
Private Charles Stone of Brunswick,
was next called. He said the respon-
dent was not Hodgdon. The brother OF
Hodgdon was in the court room and
was asked to stand up. In cross-ex-
animation, witness was asked il he re-
membered this man.
Yes" witness replied.
How" he was asked.
Il ought to remember him. At Bull
Run I carried his gun for two miles
while we were running, he being Just
ahead of me-"
This caused laugh
Witness explained that he and Hodg-
don. at that time We're running toward
the enemy, not away from him.
The case is being very hard fought
and will not be closed it is expected
much before Friday morning. The
cross-examination is very sharp and
long.
