1t is now more than probable that
the difficulty between venezuela and
the powers will be arbitrated. Al
though no definite conclusion has
been reached. 1t Is generally con-
ceded that Minister Bowen will be
one of the arbitrator.
This action was the result of . de-
mand made upon President Castro by
large financial interests in Caracas,
urging him to bow to the superior
force and yield to tho power Of the
allies, receding as gracefully a. pos
sfble from the position he has taken.
Strong pressure was brought to bear
upon him to influence him to take
this action. A large number OF tho
merchants Of Caracas presented the
matter to the president and urged
him to this course They submitted
that Venezuela was powerless against
the mighty strength of England and
Germany, assisted through the ultima
tuIn of Italy and the withdrawal of
the Italian minister. by the strength
of that country.
1t is reported that President Cas-
trc has decided to yield to, the wishes
of the delegation and sue for peace
through Minister Bowen. He Ii re-
ported to be willing to accept the
terms of the British and German ulti-
matums.

Mr.. Balfour added that the block

The premier also said the opera

He believed that the Germans also
had claims besides the financial ones.
