GERMANY DOES NOT OBJECT
Itnly Dock and Compare Xotcx With
Other Power Castro Defends His
Counter-Claim Question IVotv
1st Shall Blockade Be Raised?
BERLIN, Jan. 1. President Castro's
reply to the powers, through Minister
Bowen, Is substantially an unqualified ac
ceptance of their proposals to arbitrate.
and the accompanying conditions. The
Foreign Office here received his answer
today, and is satisfied with Its spirit. A
further interchange of iews, prepara
tory to signing the protocol, will take
place in Washington.
The only really Important question to
be settled Is what is to "lie done with the
blockade. A continuance of the blockade
Is relied upon to hasten the conclusion of
the arbitration preliminaries, especially
on the part of Venezuela.
HO FEAR. OF DIFFICULTY.
Question of Rnisinpr Blockade Is Xott
( Live Issue.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. The rejoinders
of the European Foreign Offices to Presi
dent Castro's reply to their arbitration
proposal have not reached "Washington.
This, however, causes no surprise, as the
holidays are much more closely observed
In European capitals than in Washing
ton. Following the rule which It has adopted
in the treatment of correspondence pass
ing between Venezuela and the allies the
State Department still declines to make
public any Information respecting the de
tails of President Castro's reply, but In
quiry confirms the Associated Press re
port from Rome to the effect that Castro
did attach a condition to the acceptance
of the arbitration proposal, and that con
dition was not indorsed by the Washing
ton Government. However, It Is pointed
out that it has not been regarded as
necessary at the State Department either
to approve or disapprove of any of the
proposals now in exchange between the
principals.
As to the conditions attached to the ac
ceptance, it can be stated that it is not
of greit consequence, nor is It likely to
involve the loss of the arbitration project,
lor it is understood to relate rather to
the means of getting the issue to arbi
tration than to any substantial principle
involved.
PEACE DEPENDS ON ALLIES.
Castro Says So, Xot Having Rejected
Arbitration Plan.
CARACAS, Jan. 1. There have been
persistent rumors in official circles and
generally throughout this city since yes
terday that President Castro had refused
to agree to the proposals of the .allies to
refer the Venezuelan issues to The Hague.
The correspondent of the Associated Pres
saw the President of Venezuela for half
an hour this afternoon. It is not true that
the President has declined the proposals
of the powers; the Chief Executive de
clares he wants only fair treatment. It
was clear from what President Castro
said at the interview that he believes it
would be very easy to reach a full set
tlement of the entire controversy. Presi
dent Castro said to the .correspondent:
"If a settlement is not reached, it will
be because a settlement forms no part
of the plan of the allies. In this case the
prolongation of the present situation
would be disastrous for all concerned.
The solution of the present difficulty de
pends more upon the allied powers than
on Venezuela."
The President was then questioned as
to whether or not he would renounce the
Presidency, and if it was his purpose to
make a change in the present Cabinet. He
replied:
"People are at liberty to talk whatever
nonsense they want to. I will make a
change In the Cabinet when the present
serious question is ended."

by Castro.
ROME, Jan. 1. Foreign Minister Prin
ettl this afternoon received through Am
bassador Meyer Secretary Hay's note
communicating President Castro's accept
ance of The Hague arbitration in princi

the Governrtient at Washington does not
support.
At" the New Tear's diplomatic reception
today. Foreign Minister Prlnettl and Am
bassador Meyer exchanged congratula
tions over the anticipated settlement by
arbitration of the Venezuelan troubles.
Senor Prlnettl expressed his appreciation
of the attitude of the United States and
his satisfaction at the State Department's
action throughout the affair.
While reserve is maintained at the For
eign Office with regard to the Venezuelan
matter, it has been learned that the For
eign Office considers the additional propo
sition made by President Castro as not
likely of acceptance. Communications on
this subject are 'now being exchanged
with Germany and Great Britain.
NOT VIEWS OF GERMANY.
Boguslairski's Denunciation of Mon
roe Doctrine Not Seml-Offlclal.
BERLIN, Jan. L The Taglische Rund

General von Boguslawskl was Inspired.
Tho paper says that the General, being
retired, does not have to get the permis
sion of the government to express his
views publicly.- He is one of the editors
of the Rundschau.
General von Boguslawskl is considered
one of the foremost military writers in
Germany. He recently contributed an ar
ticle to the Taglische Rundschau in which
he advocated resistance to the Monroe
Doctrine. His remarks were regarded in
Washington as a semi-official utterance
of the German government upon that
principle.

as sayins:

MAX NORDAU LOOKS AHEAD.
Predicts Strategic Between Anglo
Saxon and Russian in Asia.
VIENNA, Jan. 1. In the course of an
exhaustive review of the history of the
world, contributed to the Neue Freie
Presse by Max Nordau, the writer deeply
deplores the growth of military imperial
ism In the United States, and says that
by the admission ot the spirit of militar
ism, which was formerly rigorously ex
cluded, America is raising obstacles to
the entrance of emigrants whose only
capital Is their strong working arms.
Speaking of the future of the New
World, Nordau says the opening of the
Panama Canal under American owner
ship will mark the beginning of a new
epoch. The tragic stage of tho world's
history, which In ancient times centered
in the Mediterranean, and .which moved in
the naval age to the Atlantic, will then
be transferred to the Pacific Ocean. At
first the Anglo-Saxon element will seek
to drive out the German and French flags
floating over single points In the Pacific
Ocean, then the struggle will be carried
furt'ner to the Asiatic coast, where Anglo
Saxons and Russians will have to decide
the momentous world question of whether
Eastern and Southern Asia shall remain
British or Russian. To this forecast
Nordau adds":
"One can only imagine with horror what
siich a gigantic struggle of nations and
races will signify."

$1500.
Suddenly from the crowd sprang a
young man, who held In one hand a knife
with a long and exceedingly keen blade.
From Miss Lewis he grabbed the bag she
was carrying and then, seizing Miss
Matthews by the fingers, he drew hla
knife across her knuckles, cutting a deep
gash. The young woman shrieked with
fright and pain, and her assailant, with
out waiting- to make another effort to
sever her hand, brandished his knife In
the face of those who sprang to the res
cue, and dashed west along-' Houston
street. After a long chase he was cap
tured, but did not surrender until beaten
into subjection by a policeman.
The general Impression was that an at
tempt had been made to murder the girl,
and had It not been for the policeman
into whose hands Goodman fell he would
have fared badly: The officer had to fight
off the pursuers, and at the same time
prevent his prisoner from stabbing him
'with the knife which had been used on
Mtes Matthews' hand. With much diffi
culty Goodman was taken to the station
house, where he said he intended to cut
off the girl's hand for the rings she wore.

ing to take the responsibility for carry
ing out what appears to be the wishes of
