Soen al Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Secretary Hay
has received the British answer to President
Castros last proposal relative to arbitra-
tion. 1t is assumed that the British note
reflects the views Of the German govern
ment. as the anies have been acting in
harmony so far.
The note is interlocutory, but in sub
stance stated that il Venezuela wishes a
conference with a view to submitting the
difference between the two countries to
arbitration Great Britain will accede.
The conditions attached vary somewhat
from the original proposition but in the
Judgment OF officials here the differences
between the allies and Venezuela in re-
spect to arbitration are much diminished
and there is warrant for expectation that
the case will naturally go to The Hague.
The next step will be a reply from Presi-
dent Castro.
Later in the day a separate response to
President Castro's last proposal came from
Germany. In many respects 1t was similar
to that from Great Britain, and like that
it named certain conditions regarding the
matters under consideration on which an
understanding will have to be reached be-
fore the case is submitted TO arbitration.
Germany's answer, like that of Great
Britain, has been sent to President Castro
through the intermediary OF Mr., Bowen al
Caracas. II the later conditions suggested
by the two allies are accepted by Castro, II
is expected that a meeting will be held
in Washington between Mr.. Bowen, repre-.
senting the government of Venezuela, ant
the ambassadors of Great Britain, Germany
and others of the allies to prepare a basis
on which the arbitration of issues shall
be made.
