Is Castro to Accept the
Hague Tribunal Ar
bitration.
HE HAS OTHER IDEAS
Would Prefer a South
American Republic,
But Will Not Insist.

Washington, Jan. 2.-The conditions
his response to the allies arbitration
proposal was in me nature of an al
tentative proposition, almost from
the beginning showing an aversion tor
The Hague tribunal. Castro, while
accepting the principle of arbitra-
ton, asked that the case be tried by
one of the American republics.
As President Roosevelt had already
declined TO act in the capacity of ar
bftrator, and as some reasons which
inspired him IN his declination would
apply with equal force to the chief
executive of any other American
state than the United States. he was
obliged to withhold any Endorsement
of this proposition of Castro. There
fore, it may be dismissed from the
field of possibilities. and. unless Cas-
tro is unexpectedly insistent upon
his own plan. the original proposition
of reference to The Hague tribunal

Caracas, Jan. 2.-The report current
in Willemstad, Curacao. that the gov

sistent rumors in officials circles and
generally throughout this city since

refused TO agree to the proposals OF
the allies to refer the Venezuelan is
sues to The Hague.

The correspondent of the Associated
Press saw the president of Venezuela
for half an hour yesterday afternoon
1t is not true that the president has
declined the proposals of the powers;
the chief executive declares he wants
only fair treatment 1t was clear from
what President Castro said at the in
terview that he believes it would be
very easy to reach full settlement of
the entire controversy. President Cas-
tro said to the correspondent: IF
settlement is not reached it will be be
cause a settlement forms no part OF
the plan of the allies; in this case the
prolongation of the present situation
would be disastrous for all concerned.
The solution of the present difficulty
depends more upon the allied pow
ers than on Venezuela
