London Dec 16 At the foreign office this evening it was said thatno decision had yet been arrived at In regard to Venezuelan arbitrationMany difficulties have arisen in the way of arriving at a basis of what

+ can be arbitrated and what can be otherwise settled The outlook for-a pacific settlement of the dispute is not particularly bright

Berlin Dec 16 Minister Bowens communication to Germany throughthe United States government In behalf of President Castro receivedhere yesterday was a simple to arbitrate the questions In dlspute and was not accompanied by any conditions

f Berlin Dec Hays note excepting American ships fromcertain restrictions of the Venezuelan blockade Is favorably received bythe German government The foreign office treats the matter as notraising any essential as being within precedent since Secretary Shermdn made a similar reservation in the Cretan blockade Theprecise status of American vessels under the blockade will be defined inan official notification

Dec 16 Judging from

office the Venezuelansituation tonight does not appear-

to be any nearer a settlementIp to a late hour tonight nosuggestion had been made that GreatBritain could eventually see Its way tosubmitting Its claim to arbitration and

the foreign office points out that Ven

ezuelas offer to arbitrate is extremelyvague President Castro in the com-

munication in which he expresses hiswillingness to resort to arbitration

of British subjects in Venezuela willrespected pending the Theforeign office declares that some mai-

lers are to urbitrate in-

stancing the disrespectful treatment ofMr Haggard British minister to Ven-

ezuelaTo arbitrate the financial claims will

meet with no opposition In official cir-

cles in London nor is ther any desireto stir up opposition by continuing unjfessarlly the present armed compactrtith Germany but quoting fromforeign dfflcfe at the same time theroIs not the slightest inclination to letVenezuela go unpunished for her repeated Insults and Injuries Theto arbitrate comes verylate in the day

Ve are not seeking a quarrel but wemust insure ourselves against a recur-rence of the acts which led to thepresent situation

The foreign office appears to be withdut official cognizance of the attitude ofthe Washington government although-it Is convinced unofficially that Wash-ington is anxious that further hostili-ties be avoided It to known that theforeign office has made Inquiry as towhether the United States would bewilling to guarantee the fulfilling ofVenezuelas pledges either at the

cessation of the present Eu-ropean action or pending the award ofarbitration This inquiry resulted in adirect negative from the United States

With the guarantee of the UnitedStates the foreign office says arbitration In the Venezuelan matter would bean Immediate probability but with onlythe word of a government hitherto un-reliable arbitration Is difficult of ac-cepting even upon the points where international relations admit of such amethod of settlement

His Knowledge LimitedSenator Cullom replied to the inquiry

that he had no knowledge of recentevents not contained in the houseprints

Messrs Bacon Hoar Lodge andStewart all made remarks In none oftheir addresses was anything harsh orcritical said The tone of all thespeeches whether by Republicans orDemocrats was that the attitude ofthis nation should be one of watchfulness There was a general agreementthat while the means adopted by GreatBritain and Germany for the collectionof their aebts had been quite strenuous they thus far had committed noinfringement of the Monroe doctrineand therefore had done nothing towhich the United States could take ex-ception

Correspondence QuotedThis was the position of Senator Cul

horn as it was of other senators whospoke Mr Cullom said that micb light-as to the attitude of the administration had been obtained by oonsultlngthe correspondence between the statedepartment and the German ambassa-dor year ago He then called atten-tion to the fact that on flee 1901the representative of Emperor William

Monroe Doctrine Not a ShieldSecretary Hay replied Doc 16 1901

saying in effect that the Monroe doc-trine was not intended to shield anyAmerican nation from payment oits honest debts and that its purposewas to prevent the acquisition of terri-tory by old world nations To furth t

elucidate the position of th Unit 1States on the Monroe doctrine hquoted from the first annual m sage

President Roosevelt which had beenin the hands of congress for only a fewdaysWhen

Senator Cullom had conclude1Senator Lodge celled attention to thdeclaration attributed to Lord Lans-downe by todays dispatches that there-is no disposition or desire on the partof Great Britain to acquire any Venezuelan territory

No Party DivisionSenator Bacon of Georgia a leading

minority member of the committee nforeign affairs said that on a questionof this kind there was no party divi-sion that everybody would standthe administration in doing what wasbest for the There wasno desire on the part of any one t jembarrass those who were in mlof affairs and upon whom devolved theduty of protecting American interestsThe maintenance of the Monroe J rtrine he added devolved on the wholepeople

Senator Hoar said that thus tVrnothing had been done to cause apnrrhension and he expressed the opinionthat for the present tile government othe United States could do nothirmore than keep a watchful eye on thejsttuatten F

Stewarf WarningSenator Stewart dwelt somewhat on

the bomliardment of the Venezuelanforts and said that that incident shouldbe accepted by our government as awarning of what this country mightexpect whenever excuse might offerHe gave as his reason for his admonition the fact that our recent acquisi-tion of territory had aroused the jeal-ousy of all the European powers andthat they might attack us at any timeNot in two generations he

could we build a navy equal to thatof Great Britain but we can strength-en our coast fortifications and in viewof Venezuelas experience it behoovesus to do so
