Washington, Dec. 80. President Roosevelt will not be the arbitrator of the Venezuelan controversy. The bole vexatious subject will be refer red for adjudication to Tne Hague tribunal. Epitomized, tbls was the situation as It bad resolved itseir at tne con clusion of the Cabinet meeting ye terday. The meeting was not so long as tbe sessions usually are. All the members, except Secretary Root, were Dresent. The Venezuelan question waa the principal and practically tne only topic of general concern under consideration. Secretary Hay pre sented the results of bis cable corres pondence with tbe government at London. Berlin. Home ana Caracas, In accordance with the suggestion made by President Rooaevelt, through Secretary Hay. President Castro wa reported to have agreed to suomit me difficulties to the arbitration of the tribunal at The Hague. The Enro pean powers not only consented tc submit the controversy to armirauun but while they bad expressed a pre ference for an arbitration to be con ducted by President Roosevelt, they had assented to hi suggestion that tbe matter be referred to The Hague, Tbe presentation of tbe case met tbe hearty approved or tne cabinet No fear Is expressed by the Adminis tration that the Monroe Doctrine wii be brought into the controversy In any manner that might result in an embarrassing situation for the United States. Secretary Hay la preparing a note to the powers in wbicn tne grati' fication of this Government la ex pressed for the course agreed upon, So intimation Is given of the condi tion which may have been Imposed by the European poweta or oy President Castro as precedent the arbitration. It la known that Great Britain was willing to submit the subject to the arbitration or treat dent Roosevelt practically without conditions, but the suggestion is made tnat one and perhaps two of the other powers Involved proposed some con ditions which might have proved em barrasslng to the President had he un dertaken the responsibility of deter mining tbe question. It Is understood tnat some money must pass, but It Is also known that the Lmount of cash .to be required of enpznela before arbitration Is not nearly so large as bad been stated. It Is not possible to learn either whether the allies Insist upon apoi ogiea from Castro, and while it la a sumed that the oiocaaae win Deedily raised, no arrangements that end has yet been made.

There U now In progress an active exchange of notes between the allied powers, Venezuela and the United States, re specting the method of submitting to arbitration the Issues which have arisen between Venezuela and the allies. The weight of official opinion here this afternoon was that several day. at least niudt elapse before any thing In the nature of a preliminary protocol can be made ready for sig nature. German insistence upon a prepayment of 10 per cent of her full claims before submitting her case to arbitration, and perhaps President Castro resistance to meeting what the allies claim as the obligations of honor are believed to be now toe sticking points. But It is hoped that these can be pased within the next few days, and it is further hoped that some arrangement will be made In the preliminary protocol for the raising of the blockade, though it is Intimat ed that the allies' ships will be kept ready to renew it in case of any de fault on the part of Venezuela in her obligations. Washington having been the pivot about which all the negotationa have turned up to this point, it is surmised that it may also be the scene of the anal act in the shape of the signature of the protocol, either by the resident representatives here of the powers in terested or by special agent sent to this neutral ground for the purpose. n erroneous idea obtained In some luarter as to the functions of the President and Secretary Hay in this matter, and they have been repreeent- d as endeavoring personally to con- luct the negotationa, as drawing np orotocols and generally taking a eading part in all that is going on. It pointed out at the State Department that, while ordinarily a misunder- tanding on this point would be trifl ing. It happens in the present case hat report, of such activity on tne ?art of the United State, officials after the President had expressly de- lined to assume the duties of arbitra tion would surely be ill received in Europe and might perhaps lead to some backward steps that wouia oe matter of reeret to the Government, which earnestly desires to have the parties reach an honorable settle- " ment of their differences. It Is exolalned at the State Depart ment that the part of the United State United State Government Just now la that of "good friend" to all parties; that It is not undertaking to draw up orotocols or impose limitation npon the parties, but it Is connnlng its office to getting them together and keeping them so. In this view tt win not be necessary for our Government o prescribe how the Monroe Doctrine shall or shall not ngure in me proto cols; It will Judge for itself by results how our Interests are affected, and will tot Indulge In premature or un called-for protests. An for the terms of the arbitration, It 1 stated that they are in a fair way ipeedily to be adjusted, but nothing can be said of the details. It I pre sumed that the allies wilt agree to terminate the blockade, thougn no stipulation has yet been entered Into on that point. Nothing ha been heard recently cf the part to be taken by United States Minister Bowen in the final settlement, and It begins to appear that, after all, Venezuela will probably be represented by one of her own people.
