ROOSEVELT SENDS
CASTRO TO THE
HAGUE
♦
PRESIDENT REFUSES TO ACT AS
ARBITRATOR IN THE
MATTER.
CONDITIONS \OT MADE PUBLIC
It Is Known, However, That Venezuela
Will Not Have to Pay Nearly as
Much as the Sun First
Mentioned.
Washington, December 27.—Presi
dent Roosevelt will not be the arbitra
tor of the Venezuelan controversy,
me wnole vexatious subject will be
referred to The Hague Tribunal for
adjudication.
Epitomized, this was the situation
as it had resolved itself at Die con.-hi
sion of the cabinet meeting today.
The meeting was not so long ;r; the
sessions of the cabinet usually ars.
All the members except Secretary Root
were present. The Venezuelan jues
tion was tho principal and practically
•he only topic of general concern ru
der consideration. Secretary Day
presented the net results of his cable
correspondence with the governments
at London, Berlin, Home and Caracas.
ia, accordance with tre suggestion
mado several days ago by Presid.-m
Roosevelt through Secretary Hay,
President Castio, of Venezuela, vas
reported to have agreed to submit the
differences between his government
and the European powers to -he nrbi-,
tration of the tribunal at The Hague.
The European powers not only eon!
sented to submit the controversy to ar
bitration, but. while they had express
ed a preference for an arbitration lo
he conducted by President. Roosevelt,
•hey had assented to his suggestion
that the matter he referred to Tin
Haague.
The presentation of the case met
•he hearty approval of tho members of
'he cabinet- No fear is expressed by
•• . -'.minisl'-aUon that rhe .Mon-on
doctrine wilL.be brought hud the con
troversy in vary manner that might te
suit in any embarrassing situation tor
tho United States. Secretary Hay is
preparing a note to the powers, in
which the gratification of this govern
ment is expressed for the course
agreed upon by them in settlement of
tho pending difficulties.
No intimation is given of tho oontli
lions which may have been Imposed
by the European powers or by Presi
dent Castro precedent to the arbitra
tion. It is known that Great lirltiiu
was willing to submit the subject to
the arbitration of President Roosevelt
practically without conditions, nut the
suggestion is made that oue, and per
haps two, of the other powers involved
proposed some conditions which mig'it
have proved embarrassing to the pres
ident had he undertaken the responsi
bility of determining the question.
it is understood that some money
must pass, but it is also known that
the amount of cash to be required of
Venezuela before arbitration is not
nearly so large as has been stated It
is not possible to learn, either, wheth
er the allies insist, upon ano.ogies
from Castro, and while it is assumed
that the blockade will be speedily rais
ed, no arrangement to that end has
yet been made. The energies of the
negotiations are now being devoted to
the framing of what will he known as
a condition protocol, and it is hoped
that while this class of document and es
not undertake to closely define issues
to be presented, it will still comai-i a
provision for the removal of he pits k
ade.
