WASHINGTON LETTER From out Regular Covrei pendent. Th Vnezulnn situation wbu-h has been attracting public attention, "especially in Washington, for several weeks past reached what is described in the s'Ualional press as "a crisis" on Wed ties day wheu word was receded from Unit I States Minister Brown that 'ipsinri Castro, President of Venezuela, had posi lively refusci) to snlnnit to arbitration the claims of American citizensngainst the Veiazuelan government. Pies ident Castro's reply wan in solent iy the extreme a n it corning fiftm h larger power or1. mi Executive ordinarily possessed of lietfir manners, would doubtless have panic ipated a del-cute situation. Tlie position of the present administration, however, is that the United States can no more afford to take um brage at lb impudent reply of a small calibre power like Venezuela, than can the Pres ident take offense at the small hoy who" greets h i m with "Hurrah for Debtis " Id the estimation of Stat Department officials any of many diplomats in Washing ton, President (-astro has made a grave tactical error. H d American claims h gainst Venezuela been submitted to the Hague, or other arbitral tribunal. Venezuela' w o u I d bare been assured the a Ivan tage of a full and fair invest i gation of the equality of the claims and could have been compelled to pay only what proved to be just. Under ex isting circumstances, Castro has deprived his country of the benefits of smh a tribu nal 'nnd ' of the advantages accruing from the bettersort of investigation while the U nited States will be compell ed to conduct an investiga tion outside of Venezuela and will, if such inquiry seems to establish the equality of the claims, bu entirely warrant ed in the application of force to insure their collection. President Castro has, of course, been a deep game of late but, unfortunately f o r Venezuela, one not sufficient ly deep to go to the bottom of things. Doubtless embold ened by the action of the Uni ted States Senate in failing to approve thedomininn pro to'Ol, he has assumed that the Senate would not uphold the administration in any ap plication of force to Venezu ela, but he has gone furl h-r from the truth in his assump tions and has, or is, endeav oring to grant to certain Eu ropean nations a lien 011 nil of Venesuebin'a p rts with the hope that the United States will be thus stopped from beizing any of them be cause sueh seizure would re sult in strained relations with such European powers as held the leins. Th facts are. however, that Mr. Castro does not take into consilient Hon the fact th ir European nation woniil wcii-nrne flie interference of 1 lie United Stales. Should it brrme nee ewsary t'Hpply force io-o lect damages for America 11 citizens, the United States would merely assure the now ers ir volved that in seizirg Venezuelan ports their rights would he protected that such percentages ns had been guaranteed to tlim by Cas tro would be scrupulously rollected and paid to them while, of course, the entire re tnainder of therevenns ivoud Reapplied to the defragment of American claims. Tor the present, there will be no demonstration a n d no a ppl ica t ion of force to Ven eznela and President Castro will be afforded all the rope hu wants with which to bind his hands -r even hang him self, but if he once the ex haust the patience of the administration the results will not be such as 10 insure bis comfort or that of h i s country and if hewhould com pel this country to strike a blow in the interest of Amer ica ( itizens it would bedeliv ed wit b u force an I sudden ness which would astound the slow going citizens of Venezuela. The President is about to recognize the Panama On rial Commission on lines whihin his estimation and that of his advisers, will insure f a r greater efficiency than has been attained by the exist ing organization. Final plans have not been definitely de termined upon, but a out lined to your correspondent by a hiab official of the gov ernment they provide for 'hree members of the commis sion who shall be executive officers. One of thesa has been selected in the psrson of Julge Charles E. Mago n, now counsel of the commis sion and law officer of the Bureau of Insular Affairs of the War Department. Judge Magoou will become Govern or of the ('anal Zone. Anoth er member practically decid ed upon will be Chief Eugm eei Wallace who. has all a long had charge of the engin eering work but who h a s not, l bus far, been a member of the Commission, The third remains to be selected. He will be chairman of the Com mission and the utmost care is heing taken to find a man with preeinminent qualifica tions for this important Post. The four remaining members of the commission will be con salting engineers of proven ability, but they will not be called upon to perform execu five duties inconneetion with the commission. These char ges are necessary because Gneral Davis, the present Governor of t be Zone, while a man of fine ability is so much of a military martinet, and so thorougly tactless as to precipitate ci nstant hie tion with the Panama Gov eminent. Admiral Halkerthe present chairman cf the com mission, will be permitted to retire to make room for a younger men of greater force and eneigv.

STAKTLItfG BUT TUUE. People the world over were hor rified on learning of the burning of a Chicago theater in which nearly six hundred people lost their lives, yet more than five times this num ber or over 3,000 people died from pneumonia in Chicago during the same year, with scarcely a passing notice.
