DISCUSSING TERMS.
It Has Been Decided That the
Venezuelan Difficulty Shall
Be Arbitrated.
COERCION FEARED BY CASTRO.
Balfour Declared in House of Com*
mors that Peaceful Blockade Was
Impossible?Minister Bowen Will
Likely Be One of Arbitrators.
Caracas, Dec. 18.?It has been de
cided that the ?enezuelan difficulty
shall be arbitrated and the terms of
discussion of.settlement i? now going
on. United States Minister Bowen
undoubtedly will be one of the arbi
trators.
The government fear# that ocerclve
measures will follow the establish
ment of the blockade.
The leading citizens of Caracas;
have addressed a npte to President
Castro asking him to give full powers
to, United wStuto? Minister Bowen to
effect a termination" of the present
difficulty. This note was transmitted
to President Castro at 1 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. It is signed by all
the leading merchants, bankers and
agriculturists of Caracas. It reflects
truly the consensus of current opin
ion among the ousiness element of
this city. The men who,signed the
note met again last night to discus3
ways and means of obtaining money.
with which Venezuela can meet her
obligations as well as the guarantees
"Tvhich it will be possible to offer to
her creditors.
The note Is signed by more than
200 prominent citizens of Caracas.
Venezuelan Vessels Only.
The blockade of La Gualra, notifica
tion of which, in the names of Great
Britain and Germany, was communi
cated to the Venezuelan government
Dcc. 13, went iuto effect yesterday.
The order applies to Venezuelan ves
sels only.
The Italian minister left Caracas
yesterday tporulng.
The Venezuelan newspapers are
still 'ignorant of the fact that the
Italian minister presented an ulti
matum to the Venezuelan government
Tuesday afternoon, and therefore
there were no crowds at the railway
station and no hostile demonstration.
The city was quiet yesterday.
Italy Sends Cruiser.
Rome, Dec. 18.?The Italian cruiser
Agordat has been ordered to proceed
at once for Venezuela.
-The rejection oy Venezuela of the
Italian ultimatum wr_s expected, con
sequently the announcement that this
had been done created no sensation
and no surprise. During the day fre
quent communications were exchang
ed between Italy and Great Britain
and Germany on the question of arbi
tration. The friendly attUude of the
United States Is particularly appre
ciated here. Opinion generally fa
vors arbitration, although It Is under
stood that Great Britain and Germany
are the leaders and have priority in
the present action. At the weekly
{ dlplomatlon reception Ambassador
j Meyer and Slgnor Prlnetti had a
I lengthy conference on Venezuelan af
[ fairs.
I Ridiculcs Idea of Peaceful Blockade.
London. Dec. 18.?"If the seizure of
j Venezuelan gunboats does not result
i as we all hope, it will be .necessary
to proceed to a blockade."
In the speech in the house of com
mons yesterday, during which Pre
mier Balfour made the above state
ment. he conveyed the Impression of
possible, though as j-et unnecessary.
, further hostilities, but that also arbi
tration on the same ba&ls might be
j accepted. * I
immediately after uttering these
words the premier said that In the
event of a blockade no difference
would be made between the ships r-f
neutral powers, who would not be con
sulted. He then ridiculed the idea of
a peaceful blockade. When he sail*
"I think it quite likely that the United
States gpvcrnmeitf would not think
thefo is such a thing as a pacific
blockade, and I personally take the
same view that evidently a blockade
does involve a state of war."
The houseexpressed its approba
tion. Throughout the discussion the
tenor of questions and answers
showed .regard for vthe views of the
United States. ?Ir. Balfour assured
the house that the papers in the
Venezuelan matter were in course of
being prepared as rapidly- as possi
ble. and answerlngia question by Sir
William Vernon, Harcourt, he said
they would- Include the ^ommunlca
I tjons with reference to Venezuela,
which had passed between his ma
i jesty's government and the United
States. Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
j asked this question: "So we may know
how we stand with reference to the
: government of the United States?"
| . Premier Balfour gave no hint to.
the house as to the ultimate result of
i the arbitration proposal and .nothing
further in this respect has been given
[ out at the foreign office.
I Minister Bowcn Given Assistant.
Washington, Dec* !?.??The folkr*
j ing cablegram was sent yesterday by
| tho navy department to Admiral
Dewey, in command of the combined
fleets, addressed to San Juan:
"Send competent officer with dis
patch In torpedt) boat destroyer or
other vessel to Caracas as assistant
to American minister."
Tho foil or*ing cablegram afso was
?cnt to Commander DleW. of the Mari
etta, now lying at La (fualra:
^Srnd^Van Duseen (executive ofli
cer of the 'Marietta) as asiTslanV to
ihe American minister temporarily.** j
The office/ from Dewey's fleet will j
relieve Lieutenant Commander Van
Duseen. who ic only an hour distant
from Caracas, when he arrives upon
the a*ene. While no explanation is
given for the above orders it is be
lieved that these measures are betng
taken to guard against an interrup
tion In the cable connecting Mr.
Bowen with his uome government.
It was stated at the navy depart
ment one reason for sending the
officers to Caracas was the fact that
Mr. Bowen Is almost overwhelmed
with the amount of work imposed
upon him by uis many charges.
No Effort to Resist.
There will be no effort on the part
of this, government to resist a war
blockade of the Venezuelan coast as
against merchant ships. Custom re
quires that due notice shall be given
of the blockade, and that fact,^taken
in connection wicn the declarations
that have been made in the British
parliament by the authorized repre
| sentatlves of the British government,
| will, it is understood, be sufficient to
justify all neutral nations In the un
derstanding that a state of war does
| actually exist This might In the end
require the issue of a proclamation of
I neutrality by President Roosevelt,
but this, it is stated, would not be
timely now.
