THE CONFERENCE
ON VENEZUELA
Held In Washington Yesterday by

WANT TO SEE THE TREATY
Not Satisfied With an Agreement for
a Treaty ty-Circumstances Fayora-
bic % a Settlement.

Washington. December 2s.-Secretary
Olney held a long conference. by APP

to the status Of the Venezuelan treaty.
Olneys call followed that OF Minister
Andrade, OF Venezuela, and. Jas. j..
storrow, counsel in the Venezuelan
case
The officials are reticent and Will say
only Ia general terms that the prospect
OF the acceptance OF the settlement by
Venezuela is good. 1t is understood,
however that there are important lin
itations to the acceptance which appear
to make the case less hopeful Of imme-
dlate and satisfactory conclusion than
had been expected. There seems 10 be
very earnest desire at Caracas for
more exact information OF the terms Of
the treaty between Venezuela and
Great Britain.
When the settlement was made In
Washington a rough draft Of the gem
eral features Of the settlement was
made. This contemplated a subsequent
negotiation OF the arbitration treaty
between Venezuela and Great Britain
on general lines prescribed by the set
tlement But the Venezuelan authori-
ties prefer to see the treaty itself. in.
stead Of the agreement for a treaty
and present indications are that Ven.
eEuela will give no answer until the
entire phraseology Of the treaty. with
all its terms and qualifications. is com.
pleted.

their language is concerned. The Pc
