years ago his interest in South Africa
was aroused by persons who thought
that more Engllshmen ought to be at

OFFER AGAIN REJECTED.
Proposed to Arbitrate America s
Claims Against Venezuela.

The State Department has received con-
frmation of the report that the Venezuelan
government has for the third time rejected
the American proposition to submit to ar
bitration the five American claims against
that government The third answer is a
mere statement that the proposal has al
ready been made the subject of formal
reply.
1t is now the duty of the State Depart
ment to determine what shall be done in
order to secure the adjustment of these
claims, and as 1t is difficult for the Ameri-
can government to use measures against
Venezuela that would probably be regarded
by other creditor nations as an interference
with the program that had already been ar
ranged for the settlement of their claims,
1t will probably turn out that Preside mt
Roosevelt will decide to remit to Congress
the decision Of the course to be pursued, as
this In the end might involve the adoption
of measures that might be regarded as
warlike.
