MORNING, DECEMBER 26. CASTRO READY TO LET HAGOEACT AS JUDGE 1 A MERRY WAR 13 REPORTED TO BE GOING ON ,N AMERICAN LEGATION. THE BLOCKADE MUST CEASE Claims His Foe Hacl a Razor.—Dusky Belle Involved in All of the Trouble Now Going On. Caracas, December 26. —President. Castro has telegraphed from ~a Victo ria his acceptance of the proposal to submit all pending difficulties o the übitraton of The Hnjrue tribunal, sub jeet to certain conditions, which in clude cessation of t* blockade am the return to Venezuela of the fleet seized by the powers* Castro’s accep tance has been transmitted to the Washington government, whence the proposal emanated. No Confirmation Obtained. Washington, December 2(5.- No con firmation could be obtained in Wash ington tonight, of the report coming Horn Caracas that the proposition had been made to President Castro tlial all pending difference:* between Vein zuela and the European governments having claims against, her be submitted to arbitration of The Hague tribunal.! Seeretaiy Hay had retired when the dispatched reached V.'irbingtou and no other official of me state department was able to give any information on the subject. If is known that only two days ago President Roosevelt had not determined whether or not, to me eopt the proposal of the as iUHm.aim’ to Use qre *~ lion going to The Hague. If, ar, slat ed, the suggest lon lias come from Washington that the matter should he arbitrated at The Hague, that conelu- sion probably was reached at the long conference the president ban with See letary Hay yesterday afternoon when the two officials were together lor some time considering the proposals from tin* allies that, the president fake lip the question of the arbitration. The dispatch to President Casta o, through Minister Bowen, suggesting arbitration at The Hague, must have followed t|int conference. The officials here have refused absolutely to say anything on lln subject since the receipt of the proposal from the allies or even !o give out. anything hearing on the tends of that, proposal. The impres sion here tonight is that an early deter mination of the matter will lie reach ed. No twitter by whom the matter is ar bitrated, either by the president or by The Hague tribunal, tlie feeling here is strong that, the United States gov ernment, if .e occasion arises, will insist that, the existing blockade be. called off while the arbitration is 1 in progress. The presence of the block ading fleet along the Venezuelan corn is sure t<> in* a menace* to pcaefeu] con ditions and difficulties of various kinds may arise at any tiny through the arbitrary action of some of *he commanders of the ships of the allied fleets nr to the intrepidity of some skipper who may attempt 1.0 run the blockade. Ruf the greatest, objection to a continuance of the •blockade ponc ing arbitration will be the loss to | American shipping interests which this government does not. believe should lie tolerated. Roosevelt Undecicded. Washington, December 2b.— lt was said at the state department today that the president had reached no tie vision In regard to the Invitation ot the powers that ho arbitrate the Veno. melon matter. It is posm.ie that thi ueewlon will not bo forthcoming for several days. Correspondence is ex changing doily between tin* sf**to d> paUment and tne foreign offices wit a reference to the invitation. Secretary Hay was at the white house early today anil held a brief con ference with the president on the v mi oxiielan Situation.

At 11 o'cloc.v last night almost freez ing wather had been recorded and it has been predicted that by this mori ing a temperature of 30 degrees or lower will prevail, it is anticipated that the cold will grow more intense during the day and that by tonight Brunswick will see the coldest weath er of the present winter so far. The weather began to change per ceptibly yesterday and late in the af- Hu noon the cold assumed a Idling, chilling nature that brought overcoats, cloaks, and other warmth promoters into demand. Ay high north west wind manifested itself forcibly throughout the day aud tins added to the ch.ill ness of the atmosphere. At. an early hour this morning 11 seems to be get ting < older.

Jiin Callaway Came Near Losing His Life By Too much Celebration. Jim Callaway, a well known negro hack driver, came very near losing life Christmas night and received a wound in his breast from a 32-calibre pistol. It seems that ;:u was somewhat "loaded” and went to his home 011 Kg motn street to ha ve a "rough house lie pulled otu his pistol and began to handle it promiscuously when some of the others in the house endeavored to secure the weapon before he shot someone. In the struggle the pistol went off, the hall entering the negro’s breast about half an inch below his heart. The wound, however, did not prove to be a serious oue, and the ne gro was on his hack as usual last night. , PRICE FIVE CENTS.

Crossland, who on the diplomatic list bears the title or minister resident and consul genet al to Liberia, and whose head is soon to come off. The eoineuience of sensational trou bles involving Minister Crossland coming at the time of ibe death of Former Speaker Reed recalls the fact, that the* one personal request which Mr. Reed, (hen speaker and the disap pointed candidate for the presidential nomination, made of President McKin ley.

NEGROES AT EVERETT WERE LOOKING FOR TROUBLE. Several of Them Parade Around With Loaded Guns. There came very near being a seri ous clash among the negroes at Ever ett yesterday, and flora what a News reporter learned last night it seems that a nunher of the colored tants of the place were parading around all during the clay with loaded | guns, waiting and wishing for trouhle. It seems that bad blood has existed between two crows at that place for some time, and a previous iow was he* cause of tne trouhle yesterday. Agent Rooney was seen by a repre sentative of the* News last night- and when questioned as to the trouble I <j stated that it was true that a number of negroes were seen around the sta tion with loaded g'ins. Mr. Rooney says the whole substance of me trou ble is over the saloon at Everett. A certain class want to see it run out of Ihe place while others are fighting to have it remain, and over this subject quarrels mien occur, mostly among the negroes.
