BOWEN FOR MEDIATOR.
Feeling In Caracas That He should H
Sent to washington.


LONDON, Dec. ls.-The Telegraph prints q
despatch from Caracas which says that
the Government was astonished to learn
that without its request the United States
Consul at Port Of Spain had constituted
himself a representative OF Venezuelan
interests, and that as acting Venezuelan
Consul at Port Of Spain had despatched
a steamer thence to Ciudad Bolivar, Vene-
zuela. Venezuela had closed her con-
sulate at Port Of Spain and had removed
the books. seals and archives to Caracas.
The despatch adds that there is much
discussion in Caracas regarding the posi-
bility Of arbitration. The correspondent
says that President Castro. whom he saw,
declined TO express his views on arbitra.
ton at present. but the correspondent
learned that persons in close touch with
him are unanimous In believing that some
satisfactory result through arbitration
would be more readily obtained II Mr.
Bowen. the American Minister. was al
lowed to 90 to Washington to discuss the
question fully with the German Minister
to the United States. The feeling prevails
that any acceptance or discussion Of arbi-
tration by the Caracas Government while
La Guayra is menaced by the guns Of the
allies would be offensive to Venezuelas
sense Of national pride
The Minister Of Foreign Affairs said:
Il believe that Mr.. Bowen il better fitted
for this mission than any other man owing
to the fact that by his promptness, energy
and tactful intercession with President
Castro he secured the permanent safety
Of the German and English residents here.
and has done much to restore their con-
fidence. He has thus won the esteem and
respect 81 the Venezuelans and Germans
alike, while the English have implicit faith
in his wisdom and fairness
The correspondent asked Mr.. Bowen
whether the Government had approached
him on the subject, but he declined to say.
Confidence is being gradually restored.
The British and German traders are 70

he is extremely satisfied with the unity dis
played by the European Powers In reference
to matter involving European commercial

canvas bags over the side.
The two policemen then raised cry OF
Look out, they're coming hoping that
the trio would jump down into the patrol

canal boat and climbed to the deck Of the
Vaderland. The other, however, was
dragged down and when the second patrol
boat came up was placed under arrest.
II was only when the prisoner was on the
steps Of the station house that q chance
remark made him realize that the supposed
receivers were cops. Then he put up
such fight that no blsckened Policeman
