Plan Proposed TO Satisfy the Debtors
NJ Nenezueia


Of Venezuela.
London, Dec. Il. Important steps
were taken in London yesterday with
a view to satisfying all the financial
and diplomatic claims by foreign pow.
ers and bondholders against Ven
ezuela. II is maintained that IL the
contemplated action meets with ap.
prevail, Germany and Great Britain
will have no cause to take the vigor'
GUS steps now contemplated. The de.
tails of the suggested settlement have
not been communicated to the Euro
pean governments as yet. Their eist
first will be known to the United
States government, probably to-day.
The medium of such communication
is one of the most important Anglo
American bankers. Venezuela's prop.
ositions were mentioned to Ambassa
dor Choate yesterday, but pending
the result of the direct representa-
lions at Washington no action Will be
taken by the embassy toward suggest
ing that Venezuela be given time TO
submit her proposals.
The new development in the crisis
which Is regarded as hourly growing
more serious, is due to the arrival in
Europe of a secret delegation from
the Venezuelan government empow'
cred to deal with the outstanding liza
bilities Of that republic. Until a suit
able plan could be arranged 1t was
considered inadvisable to communi
cate with the foreign ministers at
Caracas, with whom relations have be-
ooma an strained Such a plan has
now, in the belief of the delegation
been arrived at and unofficialiy,
through the Anglo-American banker
the attitude of the United States viii
be ascertained. Besif s, the state de-
partment will be put in a position to
be able to Judge of the value OF Ves
ezuela's offer and her good faith In
the matter.
