VENEZUELA TO MAKE
FRIENDS WITH FRANCE
Will Once More Resume Dip
l0matic Relations.
A RUPTURE OF SEVEN YEARS
Countries Will Now Sign Protocol, Ap-
point Ministers and Resume Friendly
Relations So Long Broken off-Trib-
unal to Meet at Caracas.

New York, April 10-A summary of
the protocol for the renewal of diplo-
matte relations between France and
Venezuela, the discussion of which is
now taking place in a secret session of
the Venezuelan congress is, according
to The Herald's Fort de France, Marti-
nique, correspondent, as follows:
1t is agreed between France and
Venezuela that Immediately after the
aratification of the protocol both coun-
tries will appoint a minister and will
also nominate one arbitrator each to
tion of the French claims arising out
OF the Venezuelan revolution of 1892.
The tribunal is to meet in Caracas.
In the event Of the members disagree
ing they will submit their differences
to the umpire, who is the Marquis Del
Munt, the Spanish ambassador to
France
The arbitrators and the umpire are
obliged to render a decision within a
year from the date of the ratification
VI JnG pIOlOCOl All OIu6T fE6nCn
claims up to May %, 1899, will be set
tied by the same tribunal
1t is agreed that in payment of
claims in the diplomatic debt the rate
OF interest shall be per cent. The ar
rears of the present diplomatic debt,
which amount to about $65 900, are to
carry the same interest. A new dip
lomatic debt is to be created for the
payment of the French claims, and is
to be guaranteed by 13 per cent of the
40 units of the customs receipts spe-
cially appropriated to the payment of
the public debt.
1t is agreed that Venezuela shall not
undertake to divert the customs re-
ceipts thus provided.
The convention of 1895 remains in
force. This convention is to the eff
feet that the French government will
recognize the validity of the Venezue-
Ian tribunal affecting French citizens.
Venezuela will grant to France a COM
mercial tariff on the most favored ma
tiOn basis.

early part of 1895, when Venezuela dis
missed the French minister to Caracas,
the Marquis de Ripert- MontiIar. The
