NO, DECIDE IT YOURSELF Roosevelt's Proposition to the Allied Powers and Their Reply are Summed Up in the Two Preceding Sentences. Roosevelt May Serve Yet. (By the Associated Press.) London, Dec. 20. —The official declara tion of the blockade of Venetian ports was gazetted this morning and becomes effective today. The text of the proclamation is as fol lows: “Foreign Office, December 20, 1902. “It is hereby notified that as the United States of Venezuela have failed to comply with the demands of his Ma jesty’s government a blockade by his Majesty’s naval forces of the ports of La Guaira, Carene.ro, Guanta, Cumana and Carupano, and the mouths of the Orinoco is declared, and such blockade will be effectively maintained from and after the twentieth of December, sub ject to the allowance of the following days of grace: “For vessels sailing before the date of this notification . from West Indian ports and ports on the east coast of the continent of America —ten days for steamers and twenty days for sailing vessels. j “From all other ports—twenty days for steamers and forty days for sailing ves sels. “For vessels lying in the ports now declared to be blockaded —fifteen days. “Vessels which attempt to violate the blockade will render themselves lia bility to all measures authorized by the law of nations and by the respective treaties between His Majesty and the different neutral powers.” The Foreign Office says the blockade of the Venezuelan coast will not be re laxed until the powers enforcing their claims agree on a method for the arbi tration of their respective cases and Venezuela shows a disposition to act sincerely. Stress is laid on the difficulty, in view of the diversity of the claims in deciding on a method of presentation, and on the prolixity of the negotiations which will be involved before a settle ment is in sight. It is not definitely decided whether separate cases can be embodied in one document, should the projected arbitration take definite shape. The German Decree. (By the Associated Press.) Berlin. Dec. 20. —The German govern ment today published a decree embody ing the terms of the blockade of Ger manys portion of the Venezuelan coast. It was as follows: “The government of Venezuela having rejected the demand which thp Imperial Government communicated to it, the ports of Porto Cabello and Maracaibo are hereby declared under blockade, be ginning December 2ft. Ships under other than the Venezuelan flag, which sail from the West Indies or other eastern Ameri can ports before the publication of this decree will receive a period of twenty days for sailing vessels and ten days for steamers to reach their destination. “Sailing vessels from all other ports are allowed forty and steamers twenty days. “Ships under other than the Venezuelan flag lying in blockaded ports upon the publication of this decree are allowed fifteen days to sail. Ships which attempt to break the blockade will be subject to the provi sions which apply to neutrals under in ternational law and in accordance with treaties. (Signed.) “VON BUELOW.” Washington, Dec. 20—President Roose- X!? pro,>t)Sfv fl to the allied powers , ha ( . hr A enezuelan dispute be submitted to the arbitration of The Hague Tribu nal. The powers have replied with a counter proposal that President Roose velt himself arbitrate the issues These were the developments over night in the \ enezuelan matter and thev seem to justify the prediction made in these dispatches that the critical point had been passed. President Roosevelt does not wish to act as arbitrator in this dispute, for as such it is felt here he would be at once, judge, jury and con stable and would be under the moral ob ligation to execute his own judgment. The President feels that a reference to The Hague Tribunal would vastly strengthen the cause of arbitration. Still rather than see the present dis pute proceed to extremes, it is probable the President will reluctantly assume the duties of arbitrator. It is fully realized that any decision rendered by him in that capacity would be sure to bring him the enmity of one or the other of the parties to the controversy and this fact was pointed out to the Presi dent early in the week by leading Sena tor who had been called into consulta tion. Nevertheless, to prevent bloodshed an dthe destruction of property and in terference with great commercial inter ests that would result in loss, it is be lieved that the President would assume the charge, providing his own view can not prevail. An important fact developed today i 3 that the punitive measures about to be instituted, and, in fact, now in force in some degree, will not be suspended by the allies until a definite agreement is reached as to arbitration. Venezuela also has been told through Minister Bowen that the President would welcome a reference of the dis pute to The Hague Tribunal. While no direct reply has been received it is not doubted that the reply would be favor able if the other parties consented to such an agreement.

A ga : nst it ar.d If We Depend on the Panama Route We May Get .None at All (By the Asociatcd Press.) Washington, Dec. 20.—After a session of less than three hours, the Senate today adjourned until January sth next. To day’s session was largely given up to an address by Senator Morgan upon the question of the construction of an Isth mian canal. The Senator declared that ’t would be In the interest of the United States to resume negotiations with Nic aragua and Costa Rica with the view of utilizing the Nicaraguan route for the reason that, as he believed, if we should continue to depend upon the Panama route we should never have a canal. A number of bills were passed and a conference report providing for the pay ment of the expenses of the Anthracite j Coal Strike Commission was agreed to. i Mr. Morgan contended for the making | good of contracts entered into by Presi ! dent McKinley with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The negotiation cf these contracts he characterized as a master ful act and said they were about to be trodden under foot. He then went on to express apprehen sion that if the United States did not l avail itself of the opportunity to build ; a canal by the Nicaraguan route none 1 would be built. Action at the present Congress be considered important, be cause any person familiar with Congres sional proceeds knew that a minority j could prevent action in the one session only that must come after the present before the expiration of the canal appro priation. Attention also was called lo I the fact that under Colombian law only the Congress of that country can ratify a treaty. There had been no Congress there since 1899 and there was not likely ““to be any soon unless the Panama Canal Company should pay its expenses out of the $3,000,000 on hand or the $40,000,000 promised by the United States. He there fore expressed apprehension that any treaty that might be accepted by this government would fail of action in Colombia. Speaking of the possible .failure of ratification of a treaty with Colombia and its possible effect upon treaties that might afterward be sought with Nicara ! gua and Costa Rica, Mr. Morgan said: j “I am not imputing any lack of patriot | ism or any disposition to defeat all canal 1 enterprises to any one in these observa ! tions. 1 am only considering possibilities j that are obvously in view and endanger 1 the construction of a canal at either ! of the localities provided by the act of 1 June 28, 1902. 1 “Yet, all the world knows that power ful interests are opposing the opening 1 of any canal through the American isth mus and these combinations are relying upon a minority of the Senate to destroy all efforts to construct such a canal.” Bxief S?e*sion in the House. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Dec. 20.—The last session of the House before the holiday recess was very brief. It lasted only long enough to permit final action upon the bill to defray the expenses of the Coal Strike Commission. No other business was tranacted.
