r -'. A RWHM0t.. NO BLOCKADE (iOES United Spates Refuses to Recog ",nizo Any Such HAY TELLS GERMANY OF IT Any Attempt to Slim MiTibnnt Murine From limiting Yeiipjiiibi Pur In Vlll ll tin- rorcrnniicr of Mom or l.eim Tronlilu II A "Washington, Dee. 15. dispatch says: It In now probable that the Unit ed States will break its attitude of in activity In the event that an attempt Is made to enforce the "peaceful block ade" towaid an American ship. When tho allien were considering the ways and mentis of bringing Venezuela to terms and a blockade of this character had been decided upon, the (lerman government Informed the United States that when the blockade was estab lished It would turn back all shipping, although no effort would be made to seize the ships. The United States government made no response to this statement at the time (last year) not feeling called upon to do so before presentation of an ac tual ease. Hut now that the blockade Is sought to be established. Secretary Hay has Informed tho German go em inent that American ships should not bo Interfered with In their trading. Further, the note Intimates a disap proval of btoppage at all. In so doing the state department is following n pre cedent, for vdurlng the effort of the powers to estate a "peaceful blockade" of Crete In 1898, Secretary Sherman formally recorded a refusal to be bound by It. It happened that no American ship had occasion to enter a Cretan port during the brief period of time the blockade was In force, so the Issue was not made, hut In the present nsc with regular lines of American steam ers entering Venezuelan ports, at short Intervals, a test ease may soon follow. It Is within the legal right of the allies to close these ports, but probably this can be accomplished without a protebt on our part only after a formal declara tion of war. Tho hope Is growing here that such a declaration can be n verted, owing to the energy with which Mr. Dowen haB acted. Tho proposal of President Castro to the allied powers for a peaceful settle ment was suggested by Mr. Howrn and It came to thostate department through his hands. It has been forwarded to London and Berlin through the em bassies here, and as both Grent Britain and Germany have heretofore professed a desire to settle the Issues peaceably. It Is hoped that they will avail of this opportunity. The proposal did not mention the method of arbitration nor tho limitations and the point of doubt which may prevent the acceptance of the scheme is believed to be Castro's unwillingness to bind himself in ad vance to tho recognition of the princi ple of liability, so he would leave tho arbitrators to determine whether or not he Is liable at all. Countrle Mny Combine A Puerto Cabcllo. Dec. 15, dispatch says: Tho Hritlsh cruiser Charybls and tho Gorman cruiser Vineta have bombarded tho fortress heie. They quickly silenced It. The Charybls and the Vineta ar rived hero Saturday morning. The captain of the English merchant steamer Topaz, which was seized by the mob last Wednesday, visited the English eommodoie on board the Charybls and returned nn hour later with a detachment of lifty marines and with their aid took possession of the Topaz. The populace were greatly excited at this Incldont and raised the cry, "To arms," but no Incident occurred. The English commodore then sent a demand to the authorities for Imme diate satisfaction for having pulled down tho British flag from the Topaz and advised the government that If satisfaction was not forthcoming in two hours the fortress and the custom house would he bombarded. It Is learned on authority that the government of Argentina, in a dispatch from Buenos Ayres, has Instructed its consular representative at Caracas to report to Buenos Ayres as early as pos sible what appears to be the attitude of tho United States and what view that government Is likely to take of its obligations under the Monroe doctrine. In the face of tho aggressive attitude of Great Britain and Germany. Should the United States decide to remain impassive, on tho ground that Its Interpretation of tho Monroe doe trlno does not warrant Interference with foreign powers resorting to dras tic measures for the collection of claims, tho correspondent says he Is Informed that the government of Ar gentina, feeling that tho autonomy of all South American stato Is Jeopar dized. Is preparing to take a decided stand by the side of Venezuela and to offer her assistance to President Cas tro. Argentina is not anxious to declare nor attitude and will only do so. It Is said, In the event that tho United States Bhould maintain a complaisant attitude of non-interference. It is believed Chile also entertains similar Intention and many cable mes sages have been exchanged between official representatives of tho Venezu elan government und those of Chile In Valparaiso, as well as with Buenos Ayres.

FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP OUiiiiihii, ln Will (tun Wittrrnnrkt t ncl-r Ni'v Hi'lu hip An Ottutnwn, la., Dec. 15, dispatch says: Every taxpayer in Ottumwa Is to be made a stockholder in n water works company If the plans now pro posed In this city are carried out. It Is said to be the second time In the his tory of the United States that such a scheme litis ever been suggested. Ottumwa is beyond her debt limita tion nnd the city desires to build a plant that will give ndequato protec tion. A test lase was made in the su preme court as to whether or not a levy for a water works plant could bo In cluded In the constitutional debt limi tation, the ulca being made that It was an urgent public necessity. The courts held tint such n levy was not a part of the state's debt. Thus the city found Itself checkmat ed, but now determines to organize the whole municipality of 20,000 people Into a gigantic corporation making every taxpayer a stcokholder.

When the splicing was completed late In tho nfternoon, horses were hitched to the end and tho cable was drawn through the conduit to tho cable station. At the same time the steamer Newsboy steamed out to sea five milts nnd anchored the cnble with balloon buoys. It was picked up by tho cable steamer Sllverton and taken aboard. The splicing to tho main body was completed tonight, and the Silver ton headed for Honolulu at a seven-teen-knot speed. The first message over tho cable was sent from shore to Chief Engineer Bencbt on the Sll verton, congratulating him on the suc cessful landing. Several tests were made as the cable was being paid out by tho Newsboy, nnd It wns found to bo In perfect condition. A portion of the cnble was cut up into small bits for souvenlni nnd dis tributed by President Mackay among his special guests, estimated at about 3,000.

THE OUTLOOK DARK Vonoztiolan Situation Becoming Moro Complicated ALL EUROPE TO TAKE HAND (letting Dmtn to (be l.mel of II (liimnof (Iruli I tit I y iiml Smln ,loln In tlm None of "Pity Me Wluit You One Sin"- Oilier Nrnx A Caracas, December 111, dispatch iiiys. Hlgnor do Rlvii, the Itnllan min ister, presented Italy's ultimatum to Venezuela nt 5 o'clock tills afternoon, Italy's nffnlrs In Venezueln have been placed In the hands of United States Minister Rowcu. The Itnllan milliliter to Venezuela, Hlgnor de Rlvn, has re ceived ordern from Rome to leave Caracas tomorrow morning. He will go on board tho Italian cruiser Giovan ni BntiHuu at La Guayra. The Spnnlsli minister to Venezueln, Honor Gaytan do Ayala, and the Bel gian charge d'affaires, M. Van der Heyde. hnvo picsented a Joint letter to tho Venezuelan minister of foreign nf fnlrs In which they nsk, hi ense tho claims of other foreign powers are paid by Venezuela, that tho same treatment given these powers bo ac corded to Spain mid Belgium. A London, December 1G, dlBpnteh snys: Judging from tho statements given out by the foreign olllce. the Venezuelan nltuntion does not appear to bo any nenrcr n settlement. Up to a late hour tonight no suggestion hud been made that Great Britain could eventually see Its way to submitting Its claims to arbitration, and tho for eign office points out that Vonezucla'B offer to arbitrate Is extremely vague. President Castro, In the communica tion In which ho expresses his willing ness to resort to arbitration, provides no guarantee that tho rights of British subjects In Venezuela will bo respected ponding the award. Tho foreign olllce claims that boiuo matters are impossi ble to arbitrate, Instancing the disre spectful treatment of Mr. Haggard, British minister to Venezueln. To arbitrate tho financial claims, however, will mctt with no opposition In official circles In Loudon, nor Is there nny deslro to stir up opposition noro uy cuuuoning unnecessarily nit present nrmed compact with German but, quoting from tho foreign offle "nt tho same time there Is not tlM( slightest Inclination to let Venezuela go unpunished for her repeated InstXtB and Injuries. The offer to nrbltrnlto conies very Into In tho day. We aLn not seeking a quarrel, but we mu Insure oui solves against a recurrene of tho acts which led to the preser, situation." The foreign office appen'rs to be without official cognisance of the atti tude of tho Washington government, although It is convlnicd unofllclnlly that Washington Is anxious thnt fur ther hostilities bo avoided. President Roosevelt nnd his cabinet had one of the most extended nnd im portant meetings Tuesdny that has been held this fall. Foreign affairs particularly consumed the entire tlmo of the hesHlon. Tho Venezuelan situa tion wns dlscubsed. hut no conclusion was reached different from that which hns actuated the President and his ad visers throughout the consideration of the troubles between Venezuela on the ono sldo and Germany and Ureal Brit ain on the other. From an authoritative source the in formation Is obtained that there would bo no recession on the part of this government with respect to questions Involving Venezuelan or any other of the governments of South or Central America as laid down by the president In his messngo to congress. Every de tail of tho development In the Venezu elan situation is being scrutinized with tho utmost care. It can bo nnld authoritatively that no apprehension cxIbIb in the minds of any of tho ndmlnlBtrntlon officials that serious troubles growing out of It will nccruo to this country. It Is believed thnt both Great Britain and Germnny will act within tho arrangement which was originally presented to this gov ernment and to which tho United Stntes passively assented. The treaty with Cuba which was ne gotiated In Havana by General Bliss and which arrived In Washington to day, was presented to the cabinet and discussed In detail. It Is ready for pre sentation to congress and will probably be transmitted to the scnato within twenty-four hours. H Is regarded as highly Important that It should bo ratified promptly as the present Ven ezuelan situation emphasizes tho ne cessity for coaling stations In Cuba. Doflnito action upon tho treaty by the senate or congress Is scarcely to bo expected before tho holiday recess, the administration Is hopeful of prompt consideration of It after congress re convenes. I)rn Fair I)rml Dean Campbell Fair of Trinity ca thedral, Omaha, died Mondny evening at 5:30. He was one of tho most wide ly known men of tho Episcopal church In the west.

Admiral Dewey cnblcd the depart ment yesterday In regard to tho ordern for his Meet during the Christmas holi days. Oideis are now In preparation for the various Vessels and will bo for warded to tho admiral In tho next day or two, No lellectlou upon Admiral Dewey Is Intended by the navy department In deciding to give up tho orders for IiIh ships. Instend of giving him ti free hnnd hi the matter, ns It was expect ed would be done, Thnt there may bo a thoiough co-operation of tho navy with the stato department In the bundling or the Venezuelan situation, however, It seemed that the question could be moro satisfactorily nettled hcie, as the nay department la In possession of nil tho facts regarding the action of the allied powers, nnd danger or conflicting with tho policy of the state department will bo averted. It In unlikely thnt men of war will be sent to La Guayra tho feeling lining that the presence of American men of war nt this time might cauno uneasi ness among tho allied powers, as well as offer encouragement to President Castro to maintain his defiant attitude. On the other hnnd, the sit nation has grown so acute within tho past few days that both state and nnvy depart ment olllcinln are agreed that It will not bo amiss to rendezvous tho fleet In ports within easy range of the Vene zuelan coast.
