Bowen then accompanied the minister
to mis- car. shook hands with him and
handed Inn papers and cigars for his
journey to lie Guaira.
The Venezuelan newspapers are still
ignorant of the fact that the Italian
minister presented an ultimatum to
the Venezuelan government yester Iay
afternoon and therefore there were no
crowds at the railroad station and o
hostile demonstration. The city is
quiet today.
Germany Not the Moving Spirit.
Berlin, December 1.-THE foreign
office here denies explicitly that tine
German squadron in Venezuelan WA
ters has orders to seize Margarita is-
land. adding that no occupation OF the
territory of Venezuela will occur.
The foreign office officials allege that
Il systematic effort is apparently being
made to represent Germany as I! (
prOpelling power in the coercion Cf
Venezuela and as being resonsible for
all the harsh measures. For instance,
they say, the bombardment of tie
forts at Porto CabeTo is ascribad T.
Germany initiative, whereas the for
eign office officials say without reserv Il
ton that the bombardment was at the
British commanders suggestion, the
Topaz being British ship. The Ger
man commander participated in the
firing as a loyal ally

"PACIFIC BLOCKADE"
State of Actual War Exists I'm
Venezuela, According to Premier
Balfour.

London. December lin the course
of long statement in the houAp of can'-
mons today, Premier Balfour said there
was no such thing as a pacific block
ade." A state of war actually existed
with Venezuela and an intimation Of
the blockade would shortly be given 10
the powers. The premier also saIi the
operations were reluctantly undertaken.
not to recover debts but. after a long
and patient delay. TO recover compensa-
ton for assaults on British suojec:s ahj
the seizure of British vessels.
Mr.. Healy, Irish Nationalist. asked if
the United States assen.cd 10 a 1lCCr-
ade which would exclude United Sta;eS
vessels, Mr.. Balfour repiie
'Neutrals are not consulted when you
are in state of war with a third oar-
is war declared?" askni Ir Healv.
The premIe~ replied:
Does tie honorable member suppose
that without state of war you can
take vessels and have a blockIc@?"
After relteratlng Lord Transformers
brief statement in the house of Lords
yesterday, the premier continued:
Great Britain and GeI many along diff
ferent portions Of the coast, and though
the two fleets will have the same OBJ
jects, they will not act as one force.
We never had any intention of landing
troops in Venezuela or of occupying ter
ritory even temporarily. We do not
think 1t desirab BILE on either military or
other grounds. All the conditions gov
erning such blockade have been careful
ly considered and will be published III
due time for the information of neu
trails. The governments are most anX-
ious that these operations, the necessity
for which we deeply regret, should be
as little inconvenient to neutrals as they
can possibly be made. No difference
will be made between the vessels of the
various neutral powers. l think II -
quite likely that the United States will
think that there cannot be such a thing
as a pacific blockade" and |, person
ally, take the same view. Evidently Il
blockade involves a state of war"
Mr.. Balfour concluded his statement
with stating he could make no an
nouncement as to whether the offer OF
arbitration from Venezuela would T..
accepted by Great Britain"

ASSISTANCE FOR BOWEN
American Minister to be Partly Re
lieved by an Officer from Dewcy's
Squadron.

Washington, December 1.-THE fol-
lowing cablegram was sent today by the
navy department to Admiral Dewey, IN
command of the combined fleets, ad-
dressed to San Juan
Send competent officer with dispatcn
in torpedo boat destroyer or other ves-
sci to Caracas as assistant to American
Minister"
The following cablegram also was
sent TO Commander Diehl, OF the Mar
eta. now lying at LaGuaira:
Send Van DuZen executive officer
of the Marietta) as assistant to the
American minister temporarily"
The officer from Dewey's fleet will re-
ileve Lieutenant Commander VanDuzen
who is only an hour distant from Cara
cas-, when he arrives upon the scene.
1t was stated at the navy department
that one reason for sending the officers
to Caracas was the fact that Mr.. Bowen
is almost overwhelmed with the amount
or work imposed upon him by his MANY
charges. He has nearly all Of the Fn2-
lish residents in Caracas domiciled -
the American legation and is feeding
them from his own table. As for the
torpedo boat destroyer, il Is pointed out
that il will serve as a dispatch boat 10
keep Mr.. Bowen in touch with the near
est cable station to LeGuaira, whicn
can be relied upon TO transmit MESA
ges to Washington In case the LaGuaira
ca Bile is cut as an incident TO the block
ade.
No further orders than that noted
above went forward to Dewey TO-DAY
but Secretary Moody expects TO have
ready by tomorrow his order for the
distribution OF the vessels OF the com
bined fleets. Up to the present moment
he has not reached any Sfttled deter
mination as TO to any one Ship.
