WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. - President
Roosevelt will rot be the arbitrator of
the Venezuelan matter. The whole subject
will be referred to The Hague tribunal.
Epitomized this was the situation as Ii
had resolved itself into at the conclusion
Of the Cabinet meeting to-day. The meet
ing was not so long as the sessions of the
Cabinet usually are. All the members ex-
cept Secretary Root were present. The
Venezuelan question was the principal top
ic OF general conversation under consider
alton. Secretary Hay presented the net
results of his cable correspondence with
the governments at London, Berlin, Rome
and Caracas. In accordance with the sug-
gestion made several days ago by Presi-
dent Roosevelt through Secretary Hay.
President Castro, of Venezuela. was re-
ported to have agreed to submit the differ
ences between his governmnt and the Euro
pean powers to the arbitration of the tri-
bunal at The Hague. The European powers

versy to arbitration, but while they had
