READY FOR SIGNATURE
Venezuelan Affair Still Hangs Fire— Germany Wants Money Down —Castro Is Stubborn.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27—The weight of official opinion here this afternoon was that several days at least must elapse before anything in the nature of a preliminary protocol in the Venezuelan affair can be made ready for signature.
Germany insists upon the pre-payment of 10 percent of their full claims before submitting her case to arbitration and perhaps President Castro's resistance to meeting what the allies claim as obligations of honor, are believed to be now sticking points. It is hoped that some arrangement will be made in the preliminary protocol for the raising of the blockade, though it is intimated that the allied ships will be kept ready to renew it in case of any default on part of Venezuela in her obligations.
Washington having been the pivot about which all negotiations have turned up to this point, it is surmised that it may also be the scene of the final act in the shape of the signature of the protocol.
