In this connection as indicated In these dispatches yesterday, some con sideration I again being given in the feasibility of the assumption of re sponsibility for any award assessed Against Venezuela by responsible priv ate .tK'-tii !-. but the United State government I determined not to allow ltslf to be drawn Into the position of a guarantor In Ibis case, for the preced ent, once srabllsbcd. might require the United Btaus to become financial bucker for til South and Central America.

Ths Italian ambassador here has been extremily moderate and consider ate, giving Secretary Hay the Imprcs sion that be Is well disposed to second any effort of thj United States to ter minute thj pres-mt dangerous situa tion.
