Many Persons Killed and Injured In tho
Streets OF Copenhagen.
The worst gale of many years Wis
tied Denmark Christmas night and the
following morning and did enormous
damage to property and shipping. The
telegraphic and railroad services have
been interrupted. 1t is not safe to
walk the streets of Copenhagen, owing

were closed to traffic to avert this
danger The hospital reports show
that several persons were killed and
many sustained injuries in the city.
The pillars holding up the overhead
trolley lines were blown down and the
street car service was stopped Many
mills and factories have been partly
destroyed. The water in the sound
rose suddenly nearly as high as it did |
In the great flood of 1872. Several |
ships dragged their anchors and col |
lided or were sunk in the outer harbor.
The ferry service between the Danish
Islands and Sweden has been forced to
stop. The gale was accompanied by
thunder and lightning. kilograms re-

When the explosion occurred, about

of the structure were shattered by the
coDcussion. The exact cause of the
explosion has not yet been determined.

ROOSEVELT WILL NOT ACT.
VENEZUELAN QUESTION WILL GO TO
THE HAGUE TRIBUNAL.
No Fear IL Expr~sssd by the Administra-
tfon That the Monroe Doctrine Will
he Brought Into the Controversy.

President Roosevelt will not be the
| arbitrator OF the Venezuelan contro-
| versy The whole vexatious subject
will be referred for adjudication to
The Hague tribunal. Epitomized, this
was the situation as 1t had resolved IT,
self at the conclusion OF the cabinet
meeting Friday. The meeting was not
so long as the sessions usually are.
No intimation is given Of the condi-
lions which may have been imposed by
the European powers or by President
Castro precedent to arbitration. 1t is
known that Great Britain was willing
to submit the subject to the arbitra-
ton of President Roosevelt practically
without conditions, but the suggestion
is made that one, and perhaps two,
of the other powers involved proposed
some conditions which might have
proved embarrassing to the president
had he undertaken the responsibility
of determining the question. The
European powers not only consented !
to submit the controversy to arbitra- !
ton, but, while they had expressed .
preference for an arbitration to be |
conducted by President Roosevelt,
they had assented to his suggestion !
that the matter be referred to The
Hague. The presentation of the case
met the hearty approval of the cabi-
net. No fear is expressed by the ad-
that the Monroe doctrine
will be brought into the controversy in
my manner that might result in an
situation for the United
States. Secretary Hay is preparing a
tote to the powers in which the graft
Ication of this government is ex-
ressed for the course agreed upon.
