-British and German Ministers
Board Friendly Cruiser.
'STRONG MEASURES MAY RESULT
Diplomats Fall to Collect Bills Peace
ably , Close Both Legations and
Withdraw From Caracas Home
, Authorities In Ignorance of Step.
Caracas , Dec. 9. The British min
ister , W. II. D. Haggard , and Ihe Qer-
.man charge d'affaires , Von Pilgrim-
TJallazzl , left Caracas at 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon for LaGuayra , whcro
Minister Haggard went on board the
British cruiser Retrlbullon , and Herr
Pllgrlm-Baltazzl boarded the German
cruiser Vlnotn. Both the British and
the German legations have been closed.
Sunday the British minister and the
Gorman charge d' affaires deposlled
if si * M the private residence of the foreign
' -v' , i minister , Lopez Barralt , separate de-
. , . mauds , Ihe British demands being for
Bctllementj of claims and olher matters
arising from the last revolution , nnd
' the German demands being for the
. , payment of Inlerost on the loan and
A * other claims. The demands are In the
, 4 ' form of an ulllinatum. They do not
/ limit the time for an answer.
The mlniatera left Caracaa without
previously notifying the Venezuelan
government , probably In order lo avoid
any hostile demonstrallon. The hand
ing In of a demand of such a nature at
& private residence of a minister , for
getting diplomatic rules , is believed
in some quarters to be without prece
dent. The actual situation is Incom
prehensible delay. . The Venezuelan
press publishes an open letter from
President Castro on the ombroglio
with Great Britain and Germany. In
this letter President Castro says :
< , "Foreign cables relate that certain
foreign nations , among them Great
Britain and Germany , have gotten to-
Eether to carry out acts ot violence
and aggression against Venezuela
and their manner of obtaining the re
sumption of the payment of Interest
on the public debt was to be sus
pended as a consequence of the revo-
i/ lutlon which was lately crushed. Notwithstanding -
. -withstanding the official character of
\ this news I refuse to believe It , because -
* cause It Is Inconceivable that nations
which entertain cordial and friendly
relations with Venezuela should pre
fer to use force rather than follow the
diplomatic path , especially when the
\r -supposed difference comes fully with-
J in the jurisdiction of our laws , which
' are based on the principle of justice.
I put honor first and will not seek ex
cuses to disarm foolhardy enmities by
. , accepting humiliations which would
offend the dignity of the Venezuelan
people and which bo not In accord
, with my public life. I repeat , I do
not belhve these alarming versions.
, The cause of our national dignity Is
baaed on our rights and our posses-
Blon of justice and on our relations of
friendship and mutual respect with
foreign nations. "
Sends Ultimatum to Venezuela.
London , Dec. 9. Great Britain and
Germany have presented ultimatums
to Venezuela , which will be followed
up by the seizure of the customs un
less a satisfactory settlement is forthcoming -
coming within a brief period. The
ultimatums have a time limit , but the
) exact date cannot be ascertained here.
.The foreign office states with regard
to the time limit : "It is a reasonable
fj / time In which Venezuela can satisfy
the Injured governments. Both notes
f are practically Identical , although the
amounts of the claims differ. The
notes merely reiterate the continued
disregard by the Venezuelan govern
ment of all of our representations ,
V- , specify our claims and demand imme
diate action on the part of President
Castro's government in connection
therewith. "
-1 The British government's case Is
practically Identical with the state-
j , ments made in previous dispatches
\ from London in which It was first announced -
' nounced that the present action was
contemplated. Should the British ulti
matum meet with a hostile reception
the British minister , W. H. D. Haggard -
gard , has been Instructed to go aboard
a British warship.
Comment on Ultimatum.
London , Dec. 9. The London papers
this morning comment approvingly on
the ultimatum to Venezuela. They
show no further concern regarding the
attitude of the United States , which ,
r' it is taken for granted , will bo ono of
r/ friendly neutrality , but the papers are
concerned as to the exact extent that
ff
J Germany and Great Britain are acting
* in unison. Premier Balfour's rather
f
evasive reply as to whether the ac
tion was identical or not Is considered
curious. Some complaint Is made In
the press that the government Is not
prepared to lay papers dealing with
' the question before parliament , but
"It is not considered that It will be nec
essary to employ force. It Is thought
that once Venezuela sees she has no
hope of support from the United
States she will find means to satisfy
the Anglo-German demands.
