Cf cum CASTRO TAKES WATER TRIES TO HEAD OFF GERMAN AND ENGLISH ACTION. Allows German Claim, Imt Kaiser's . Fleet "IVill Visit Venezuela Jnst the Same. BERLIN. Dec. 1. President Castro, of Venezuela, handed, probably on Thursday last, to the German Minister at Caracas, a written acceptance of part of Germany's claims, sufficiently comprehensive to delay the presentation of a joint ultimatum by Germany and Great Britain, If not render-' ing It altogether unnecessary. It is also understood that Great. Britain's -demand will be satisfied. Foreign Secretary von Rlchsthofen and the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Lans uowne, are now In corresponCence over Venezuela's change of front. Thia gov ernment considers that a peaceful settle ment of the questions in dispute is quite probable, and attributes President Cas tro's yielding to the fact that he has be come aware that the. United States would not Interpose any obstacle to the collection of the claims of Germany and Great Brit ain. President Castro tried by every means to keep Great Britain and Germany apart in discussing the eettlempnts, intimating or promising first one thing and then an other. Germany, having entered into a general agreement wih Great Britain to exact a settlement jointly, will not mike a separate agreement. Consequently, the two powers may yet conclude it necessary to disregard President Castro's qualified offers and present an ultimatum to Vene zuela. The German cruisers Amazon, Ariadne and NIobe continue fitting out at Kiel for prolonged absence. The view in naval quarters Is that the cruisers will be sent to the "West Indies Irrespective of the Venezuelan affair, hence it Is believed they will soil, even though President Castro may yield. It is understood that the squadron will touch at the Azores and thence go to St. Thomas, where it will receive Commodore Scheder's instruc tions. This is the Commodore's first com mand promising action beyond routine sea duties. He Is reputed to be a cool, een slble man, who will do nothing hastily. clalma with Venezuela, and England Is about to do the same, has given great satisfaction here, as it removes from the situation . the danger pf involving the United States in controversy. UNITED STATES WILL STAY OUT. "Unvllllns: to Meddle in Vcneineln's Financial Difficulties. "WASHINGTON, Dec L Isaac M. Sellg man, of . New York, called at the State Department today to broach his project for floating a Venezuelan loan, having been referred to the department by the President, whom he saw in connection with the matter last Saturday. Secretary Hay, not having returned to Washington, Mr. Seligman stated his proposition to Dr. Hill, who is acting as secretary. Neither of the parties to the conference cared to make any statement as to what took place, but it is known that the State De partment has not changed Its attitude as to the undesirabillty of embarking upon a. policy that might Involve It In the financial trouble of the South American republic. . It Is regarded at this time as especially desirable to avoid endangering the rela tions which this Government now enjoys with President Castro, who, it has evcry reason to believe, is about to do full jus tice to all American interests in Vene zuela. For this reason the news from Berlin that Germany has adjusted her NO GUARANTEE IS ASKED. Venezuelan Agrcnts Explain Their . Attitude to United States. LONDON, Dec. 1. In1 view of the ap parent misunderstanding that prevails In some quarters of the United States with regard to Banker Seligman's mission to Washington, the correspondent of the As sociated Press is authorized to state that there Is no desire on the part of the Ven ezuelan delegation that the United States should offer any guarantee whatsoever. No such suggestion had been made on its behalf, nor Is that Idea palatable to the Interests which set the present movement on foot. There was no further motive in the matter than was stated in the pre vious Associated Press dispatches from London, viz., "to acquaint the Washing ton authorities with the suggested plan of settlement, so that. In case any Euro pean power in the meantime took aggres sive measures, the Stat& Department would be In possession of information re garding Venezuela's intentions." From private Information obtained here it appears no official representations with a view to securing the moral support of the United States in such a contingency are making favorable progress. SICK MARINES COMING HOME. Panther Brings Fevcr-Strlclcen Cnr Ko From Colon to Recuperate. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Dec 1. The United States auxiliary cruiser Panther, with 320 marines on board, nearly all sick, sailed this afternoon for Norfolk. She came from Colon.

The gunboat Bancroft has left for Colon to replace the Panther. J. S. McCabe fell overboard from the United -States steamer Osceola in this harbor on Saturday and was drowned. The body was recovered last night and buried today with military honors. For your opportunity. Make it.
