REFERRED 70 THE HAGUE
Roosevelt Refuses to Arbitrate and The
Hague Court Will Act.

Washington, Feb. a. President
Roosevelt has declined to arbitrate the
question as 10 whether the allies shall
receive preferential treatment in the
settlement of claims against Verazula.
He reached his decision about o'clock
Friday afternoon and instructed Sec
retary Hay to dispatch note at once
advising the British ambassador to that
effect. The matter now will be re-
ferred to The Hague tribunal This will
result in an immediate raising of the
blockade. THE administration, it was
stated in official quarters, was unwill-
ing to approve the effort of the British
government to eliminate Bowen from
the negotiations and, moreover, the
president could not have accepted the
invitation Of the allies even had he
been so disposed. without the consent
of the other negotiator, Bowen, and this
the allies did not obtain nor request in
their note of invitation to the president.
Immediately on receipt OF Hays note
the BritiSh ambassador addressed a
communication to Bowen stating that
he was suffering from grippe and
would be obliged if Bowen would call
ON him. The Venezuelan envoy went
at once to the embassy. where the
British ambassador explained that he
had been too Ill to call for several days
and announced the arrival of his proto-
col, which he was prepared to submit
to Bowen for mis- signature.
Later German Minister Sternburs
called on Bowen and announced the ar
rival of his protocol. 1t developed that
two protocols are to be signed by
Bowen with each of the allies. The
first will provide for a reference of the
contention for preferential treatment to
The Hague and the raising of the
blockade simultaneously with the sign
ing of this convention. The conditions
precedent to the raising of the block
ade will be clearly stated, namely: Thu.
80 per cent of the customs receipts be
set aside by the Venezuelans for the
satisfaction of their creditors, and the
question as to whether the allied pow
ers shall receive preferential treatment
shall be referred to The Hague. Also
that Venezuela shall pay down to the
allies $27,500 each as an initial cash
payment.
The second protocols are to cover the
manner of adjustment of the claims ii
the creditors and the means of admin
istration of the customs receipts. The
claims of each Will be settled by a sep
arate commission. In case of failure to
agree, the king Of Spain will appoint an

Fort Leavenworth, Kas.. Feb. l.
Lieutenant Sherwood A. Cheney, corps
of engineers, has been ordered to Cas-
conade, Mo-, to ascertain what articles
of unserviceable property now stored
there pertaining to the Improvement
of the Missouri river can be used by
the engineer battalion stationed at this
point. The discontinuance of Missouri
river improvements has left a large
amount of equipment on hand, and it
is likely that much important mater

Calls Are uracnt.

Stockholm, Feb. 7.-Urgent calls for
more speedy relief are reaching the
central famine committee. Terrific
snow storms and 4o-below-zero wealth
er have added more horror to the al
ready pitiful condition OF the famine
stricken population of the north, esps.
cially in the more remote regions frin
ging the arctic circle. Unless relief ar
rives in greater abundance and with
greater regularity than has hitherto
been the case. 1t is almost certain that
u terrible epidemic Will soon overtake
the destitute northlanders.
Already the overcrowded, unsanttary
huts are full OF shivering, starving ba-
bies and children who can not much
longer endure the strain. Medical treat
ment and medicine are unknown in the
famine district. Everywhere one en-
counters deformity and disease. Paral-
ysis and spinal complaint are common.
Congenital blindness consequent on the
hardships attendant on motherhood ii
the arctic climate is frequently met
with.
While awaiting the arrival of food
and fodder the Wretched peasants are
ate plans for keeping off death. An
other period of cattle killing has begun
In the Tornea valley and in western
parishes about the Norwegian border.
The relief supplies that have reached
those places have proved insufficient for
the wants of neople and cattle. The
bran supplied for feel has been found
Incapable of keeping ths cattle healthy
and now the distracted owners have re-
sorted to wholesale slaughter rather
than see their cows fall helpless In the
stalls from starvation.
