VENEZUELAN DISPUTE.
REFERRED TO THE HAGUE FOR ARBITRATION, By .telegraph—Press Copyright.NEW YORK, Dec. 26. It lias been agreed to refer tiie Venezuelan dispute to tiie arbitration of tiie Hague Tribunal. LONDON, Dec. 27.
Great Britain, Germany, and Italy, while expressing preference for President Roosevelt’s arbitration, assented to his suggestion to refer Hie matter to the Hague Tribunal. The New York correspondent of the Times says that Mr John I-lay secured a victory of goodwill. The making up of their minds is attributable to Mr Hay’s adroitness in presenting his standpoints to other Governments. President Roosevelt, in a sense, lias been arbitrator, because lie was allowed to indicate an arbitral tribunal, which Hie Powers did not prefer ; also, to suggest certain terms in reference to Monroism being excluded from tiie Hague deliberations.
The Times says that the reluctance of the Powers was due to their fear of the inability of the Hague Tribunal to exert adequate pressure upon President- Castro to secure observance of the award.
