WILL NOT ARBITRATE.
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

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
