Residents Of Caracas Want Minis
ter Bowen Authorized to Act,
BELF0UR DECLARE WAR EXISTS
Suspicious Are Developing at Washington and
Torpedo Boat VIII Be Ssrt 10


A cablegram from Caracas Wednesday
sstate that the latest indications are
that Venezuela viii yield to the allies.
Leading residents of the city. in
Guiding practically all the most prom
iAent men in business and agriculture,
drew NJ an appeal to President Castro
to give full powers to United States
Minister Bowen to effect a settlement.
The appeal states that Venezuela has
done all she can to satisfy the de-
mands of national honor and must
now submit to force. Another meet
ing will be held to discuss meaps Of
raising money to pay the international
obligations.
Speaking in the House of Commons,
Premier Balfour announced that a
state of war with Venezuela actually
exists and that there is no such q
thing as a pacific blockade. The pow
ers. he said, would soon be officially
notified of the state Of affairs. He
also declared that Britain never had
any intention of occupying venezne-
Ian territory even temporarily. BY
the operations of a war blockade all
commerce including that of the United
States. would be shat out.
A Berlin dispatch states that both
Germany and Great Britain will de-
clare hat they consider President
Castro's arbitration proposal made
quate, unaceompanied. as it is.by any
guarantee of payment if the artitra-
tors should decide against him.
A strong note of dissent is rising in
England against cooperation with
Germany. 1t develops that the details
of the co-operation were finally ar
ranged while the Kaiser was on his
recent visit TO King Edward at Sand
ringhham. London paners declare
that Britain is being used by the
Kaiser for his own purposes.
Grave suspicion has been developed
in Washington that the real motive
of Great Britain and Germany is to
force the United States to assume the
obligation for the claims against Ven
ezuela or to abrogate the Monroe
doctrine. The extremes Of which the
allies have gone are regarded as un-
necessary, Fears are made grayer by
advices that the nations involved are
about to send additional war vessels
TO Venezuela.
Admiral Dewev has been ordered to
send a torpedo-bo boat destroyer in charge
of a capable and trusted officer to
| Venezuela to be at the disposal of
Minister Bowen in forwarding dis
patches and for other service. As the
| United States does not control the ca
bles in that vicinity. there is danger
of a break in communications. Min
lister Bowen is now in charge Of the
Legations of the United States. Britain.
Germany, Italy and Holland.
Yesterday was the seventh anniver-
sary of President C~leveland's famous
message TO Congress applying the Mon
roe doctrine to an ti~nsistence upon ar
bitration by Great Britain and Vene-
zuela in reference TO the bouudry dis
pute then pending.
