DECISION NO SURPRISE TO
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS

Washington, July 27.-The state de-
partment officials were not surprised
to be informed of the second refusal
of President Castro to submit to arbi-
tration the claims Of certain Amer
lean corporations and individuals
against the government of Venezuela.
Some time ago Mr. Russell, the
American minister a Caracas was in
structed To proceed with the presenta-
ton Of the cases which had been
carefully prepared I'm Washington and
taken by the minister to Caracas

tnis country last spring. Though the
state department has not yet been Of
ficially advised OF this last action on
the part OF the Venezuelan foreign
office, 1t was acquainted with the
failure Of the first effort made by
Mr. Russell several months ago to
secure consideration Of these claims.
II Is believed here that i'm rejecting
for the second time the United States
proposition to arbitrate these claims.
the Venezuelan government is seeking
10 take advantage Of the fact thai
The Hague conference is just about
To embark upon the consideration of
The famous Drago doctrine, involving
the right OF state TO fOrciby collect
debts due by another nation to its
presuming that the United States. as
an ardant advocate of that doctrine,
would scarcely care, 10 weaken its ar
gument al The Hague by threatening
a display of force now to collect these
pending claims Il is pointed out
that This Is mistaken conception of
the position OF the United States in
reference To the Drago doctrine, which
in substance is that force may he
used in case a debtor nation refuses
tu submit q case To arbitration, ul 10
any fair means OF settlement.
The late John Hay expressed him
self In no uncertain terms on Il 81
claims. Writing to Mr.. Bowen. then
minister OF the United states at Cara
cls, under date of March 10, 1905.
Mr. Hay said
The attitude Of the Venezuelan gov
crnmtnt toward the government of
the United States and toward the in I
trrcsts Of ITS citizens who have sur T
Tered SO graNely and of the wrongs /

tun of complete Justice 10 these in
iured parties. the government Of the

PEELED to take such measures as IL
may find necessary Co effect complete

tiou."
