They Claim Preference
Venezuelan Affair.
in
BOWEN AWAITS AH ANSWER
"Will Stand Firm for Equal Treat
ment of All Dispute May Go to
Tlic Hague, Then Venezuela Will
Pat in Counter Claim.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 29. The Vonezue.
Ian situation tonight is still very uncer
tain and officials are awaiting with some
concern the developments of the next 4S
hours. No final answer has come to Mln
ister Bow-en's proposition offering a guar
anty demanded by the allies as the pre
Jimlnary to the raising of the blockade,
and the relief of the unfortunate situa
tion in -which the blockade places the peo
pie and Government of Venezuela.
The contention of the three allies that
they shall bo given preferential treatment
in the settlement and payment of their
claims as agaipst all the other seven cred
itor nations is the point on -which the ne
gotiations now hang fire. Minister Bowen
is insistent that the allies shall not have
preferential treatment in the matter of
the payment of the claims, and in all his
cenferences with the representatives of
the European governments here he has
made his position very clear. It is known
that he has declined to modify his de
mands in this respect. Pressure alon
certain Influential lines has been brought
to bear on the allies to show the justice
of Mr. Bowen's contention.
The rejection of his proposition for the
treatment of all the creditors alike, it Is
believed here, would result in throwing
the case to The Hague tribunal, before
which body all the nations having claims
against Venezuela would be placed on an
oaual footing. It is known that the allies
would prefer that this should not be done,
as consideration of the claims by that
body "would entail much delay In their
settlement, and there are other features
which make It desirable to the allies that
the claims be settled outside of that
body.
One of them is that, if they came before
The Hague tribunal. Venezuela would
have the right to set up counter claims ae
an offset to those presented by tne allied.
These, it is said, might reduce consider
ably the amount of money to bo paid by
Venezuela. For these and other reasons
it is not surprising to well-Informed per
sons that the European governments are
taking time to consider fully their reply
to Mr. Bowen's proposition before making
their final answer. At the same time the
fact that they have not agreed upon their
answer caused an uneasy feeling in Wash
ington and some apprehension as to the
future.
Minister Bowen continues hopeful of a
favorable answer. He realizes that the
question is an Important one to the na
tlons involved and is not unwilling that
they should take time to consider the
question fully. Up to a late hour tonight
tne aiues representatives had received
no answer from their governments and
there was no occasion for them to see Mr.
Bowen.
It la learned that on the second day after
nis arrival nere ailnlster Bowen informed
the French diplomatic representatives in
Washington that the French claims -would
be treated on the same basis as claims of
the allies and -would be taken up after
the blockade -was raised. Belying on thla
assurance, me .French government has xe
mainea inactive, but it is stated that
snouia tne allied powers be granted pref
erential treatment, j?Yance would take
steps at once to protect her Venezuelan
interests and -would mako representations
on tne suoject to the Foreisn Offices at
jjonaon, jseriin and Home.
LOST HER IXDEPE.VDEXCE.
British Alliance With Germany In
volves Danger of Friction.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29. Writing with ref
erence to the Venezuela affair, the London
correspondent of the Tribune says it is
immaterial -whether the first suggestion
for Joint action by Germany and Great
Britain came from Great Britain In July
or even in February. 1902. What cannot
be denied by the apologists of the Balfour
ministry is that an Iron-clad alliance
was made, by which England -was de
prived of independence of action and
committed against -withdrawal until the
German claims were settled.
It is incredible that the precise form
of this alliance was not made in Germany.
Wherever the first proposal for joint ac
tion originated, whether the British Min
isters forged their own chains or accepted
the German patent, they tied their hands
and exposed themselves to the serious
risk of affronting the United States.
F. C. Gould hits off the situation in a
clever cartoon representing John Bull as
explaining to Brother Jonathan that the
German Emperor Is too "malled-nsty," but
that they have gone into the business to
gether, and he cannot drop his partner.
PREPARING FOR TROUBLE.
Venezuelan Crisis Caused Increase
in Army Appropriations.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The Venezue
lan situation, especially the attitude of
Germany, -was discussed by the Senate
committee on military affairs today, and
the situation influenced the committee on
some matters pertaining to the Army ap
propriation bill, among which -was the
decision to accept the House provision
relating to transports that they be re
tained iq the service.
The' committee also provided for an in
crease of electricians, skilled gunners,
machinists and others who take care of
and. handle guns in the seacoast defenses.
Some pther additions were made in the
bi" a view of improving the service.
The discussion was .general and earnest
and the conclusions reached were that the
United States make It plain that the
honor and dignity of the country would
be maintained, and that Germanv should
not be allowed to "bluff" the Government
by any attitude she might assume.
GER3IAN OFFICERS BUSY.
They Sound Harbor and Photograph
Fortifications of Havana,
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-It is reported' that
several German army and naval officers,
passengers on the steamer Moltke, which
has arrived here on a cruise through the
TV est Indies, says the Tribune's Havana
correspondent, made extensive soundings
iri Havana harbor, near Santa Clara Bat
tery, which is garrisoned by American
troops. It is said they also took photo
graphs of the fortifications. In view of
the attitude of Germany In Venezuela
this is regarded as significant.
A report that Minister Squlers had in
formed President Palma of the action of
the Germans was denied by the Minister
who says he has heard only rumors. The
Moltke sailed yesterday for Nassau, and
will arrive in New York February l. The
German officials aboard the Moltke were
sent on the cruise by the German govern
ment, and It is understood have been mak
ing soundings secretly all over the West
Indies
ALLIES REJECT PROPOSITION.
Object to Putting Other Powers on
Equal Footing with Them.
LONDON, Jan. 29. Great Britain, Ger
many and Italy have sent a Joint reply to
Minister Bowen refusing to accept the
proposal -that all the countries having
claims against Venezuela should be placed
on equality with the co-operating Dowers.
Venezuela's latest communication to the
powers (the joint note refusing to place
all claims on an equality with those of
the co-operating powers) Js expected to
arrive here tomorrow.
If -Mr. Bowen can agree to give prefer
ence to the claims of Great Britain, Ger
many and Italy, the blockade is likely to
be raised Immediately, for so far as known
this is the only outstanding vital point.
Should Venezuela demur or complications
artee. such as a protest from some of the
other powers, the negotiations will be In
definitely prolonged.
French Minister Cannot Land.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29. It has been
learned officially, says the Herald's Cara
cas correspondent, that Venezuola has
been informed that M. WeJner, the new
Minister of Franpe to Venezuela, has been
halted at Martinique until the allies
blockade is raised. It Is said the reason
for this Is that the salute and other for
malities that would be necessary might, in
view of the actual state of affairs, cause
misunderstanding.

ters, barracks for one company, hospital

MOODY GAINS HIS POINT.
House Reconsiders Reduction of
Oregon Indian Appropriations.
OREGONLVN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 29. On motion of Representa
tive Moody, the House today reconsidered
its action reducing the appropriation for
the Umatilla agency and school to $3000
and consented to an Increase to 54000, the
amount recommended by the Indian Office.
This concession, coupled with Moody's re
instatement in committee of the appropria
tion of $1200 for an Umatilla agent, which
had been dropped on recommendation of
the Indian Office, gives Umatilla a slight
increase.
Quay has gained anything by offering the
omnibus statehood bill as- an, amendment
to two appropriation bills. "On tho other
hand, this action is taken as an indication
of weakness on his part. The opposition
to the three new states is strong enough
to bo able to force an extra session of
Congress rather than pass an appropria
tion bill with this bill a3 a rider.
It is now conceded that an extra session
of the Senate Is almost unavoidable, and
there would be little hesitancy In the
Senate If the necessity arose, about forc
ing the House as well to remain In Wash
ington long enough after March 4 to put
through a straight appropriation bill.
