Suddenly the cloud began to lift.

SURPRISE IN WASHINGTON.
Opinion Is That There Is No Neoessit,
For Arbitrary Action.


For Arbitrary Action.
Washington, Aug. Not little
surprise is evidenced here over the
news from Willemstad. as the general
impression has been that President
Castro was meeting the demands OF
the protocols signed by Mr.. Bowen.
Germany Italy and Great Britain
according TO the decision Of The Hague
tribunal, were 10 have preferential
treatment I'm the payment OF their
claims against Venezuela. after which
the payments were to be made ont Of
30 per cent OF the customs receipts OF
the ports OF IA Guayra and Porto
Cabello, which were to be set aside
for that purpose.
There has been a feeling Of dissatis-
faction among some OF the members
Of the diplomatic corps AT Caracas over
various acts of President Castro. and
some reports which have reached here
have intimated that full 30 per cent
Of the receipts at the two ports named
was not being set aside for the pay
ment Of the claims. as provided IN the
protocol. This may have a bearing
on the action which is said to have
been taken by the German minister.
AT the same time provision also was
made that IL Venezuela failed TO keep
the terms Of the protocol the Belgian
government was TO take charge of the
customs at the ports named and ad-
minister them until the claims OF the
/ powers were settled along the lines
agreed ON. This, the officials here
think. should remove the necessity fol
any arbitrary action by any of the
powers signatOry 10 the protocols.

Among the latest arrivals are many
skilled laborers. something the pack
ers have been sadly in need OF ever
since the strike started. The employ
ers have experienced little difficulty
in procuring all the unslkilled men nee
essary to operate the plants to their
full capacity, but there has been de.
cided scarcity of skilled workmen. and
for this reason the byproducts OF all
animals killed have been let go 10

is the packers and not the men who

leaders that it would be impossible for
the men TO return TO work under the
conditions which existed before ths
strike was called and that up TO tn,
present the packers have shown no dis
position TO treat the strikers in a fhii
manner According to this statement
the men will stay on strike until theil
unions are disrupted or until the pack
ers surrender.
