No Immediate Proaoact of Sattllno- . o Venezuelan Question. Washington, March has again declined to questions In controversy been pending for some time between the Castro administration and the American government. This time the refusal is made specific with respect to each of the questions separately and differs from the last refusal to arbitrate in that the refusal then was made as to all questions en bloc. It was explained at the State depart ment today that the presentation by Minister Russell of each of the five points In dispute, with a request for arbitration, leaves no foundation for a future representation by Venezuela to the effect that she was cot asked to ar bitrate any of the questions separately. This would seem to clear up the situa tion by making it plain that diplomacy can accomplish nothing further toward settling those controversies. That this deadlock will be Wile to appear to the United States senate when it receives the contents of the files of the State department respecting Venezuela, Information for which it asked last week, there can be no doubt. In asking arbitration of the differ ences, the American government haa left open the question of the machinery of arbitration to be employed. This government would have been glad to' have the controversy go to The Hague. Failing in this, it is lielieved any other duly appointed tribunal would have been acceptable.

SURPRISE FOR EVANS. Titla of Vies Admiral Likely to Bs Awarded Hero. Washington, Mar h 3. In a quiet wsy naval officers in Washington are endeavoring to arrange an agreeable surprise for Admiral Evans when the battleship fleet under his comm sails through the Ciolden Gate, com pleting the facinc cruise posed to greet the rear adm commisson as vice adm Amercan navy. Of course, the success of this undertaking depends upon con gress, but the president has done bis part in makng a proper recommendaton to that body for the re-establshment of that naval grade, and it is nut doubted that congress can be induced to act upon the recommendation in season to insure the issue of Admiral Evans' pomrxission, eo that he may bear the itle of vice admiral for the few months that intervene bttween bii arrival at Han Francisco and bis retirement from active service. The naval argument in tup port of the proposed re estahuhment of the grade of vice admiral is strongly rein orced by a coin par non made Navy department between the life was the fourth effort he had made P31"" em''lnC Works at Anaconda to accomplish his purpose.
