TO AVOID A CONFLICT.
Plan Proposed to Satisfy the Debtors
of venez:ela.

Of venez:ela.
London, Dec. /. - Important steps
were taken in London yesterday with
q view to satisfying all the financial
and diplomatic claims by foreign pow
ers and bondholders against Ven.
ezuela. It is maintained that II the
contemplated action meets with APP
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 gisr
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-
tions 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 suit
able plan could be arranged it was
considered inadvisable to commune
cate with the foreign ministers at
Caracas, with whom relations have be-
come so strained. Such a plan has
now, in the belief of the delegation.
been arrived at and unofhcially.
through the Anglo-American banker.
the attitude of the United States will
be ascertained. Besides, the state de-
part.nent will be put in position to
be able to Judge of the value OF Ves'
ezuelas offer and her good faith in
the matter.
