think it desirable on either military or
other grounds.
Will Announce Conditions.
"All the conditions governing such a
blockade have been carefully consider
ed and will be published in due time
for the information of neutrals. The
government is most anxious that these
operations, the necessity for which we
deeply regret. should be as little incon-
venient to neutrals as they can posi-
bly, be made. No difference will be
made between the vessels Of the vari-
GUS neutral powers.
Il think it is quite likely that the
United States will think that there can
not be such thing as pacific block
AIDE, and l personally take the same
view. Evidently blockade involves
state of war"
The premier also said the operations
were reluctantly undertaken, not to
recover debts, but, after long and
patient delay, to recover compensation
for assaults on British subjects and
the seizure of British vessels.
He believed that the Germans also
had claims besides the financial ones.
Healy Asks Questions.
Mr.. Healy. Irish nationalist, asked
If the United States assented to
blockade which would exclude United
States vessels. Mr.. Balfour replied:
"Neutrals are not consulted when
YOU are In a state Of war with third
party"
us war declaredY" asked Mr.. Healy.
The premier replied: docs the hon.
orable member suppose that without a
state Of war you can take vessels and
have a blockade?"
Replying to further questions, Mr..
Balfour said he had nothing to add
arbitration beyond what was
contained in his previous statement on
the subject. Papers were being pre-
pared and would be presented to the
house as soon as possible He as
sumed they would include the COM
which had passed on the
subject Of the blockade between the
United States and Great Britain.

orders to seize Margarita island, add
ing that no occupation Of the terrific
rity Of Venezuela will occur.
The foreign Office officials allege that
a systematic effort is apparently being
made to represent Germany as the pro-
polling power in the coercion of Ven
ezuela and as being responsible for all
the harsh measures.
For instance, they say the lombard
ment Of the forts at Puerto Cabello is
ascribed to German initiative, whereas
the foreign Office officials assert with
out reservation that the bombardment
was at the British commanders sug-
gestion, the Topaze being a British
ship. The German commander partic-
ipated in the firing as loyal ally.
The German government is not in
sisting on more severe measures than
the original plan contemplated and re-

Kiel a statement that the German
cruisers Ariadne, Amazone and Niobe
are again being equipped for departure

is informed officially that no such or

depend later upon the demands Of the
blockade whether additional vessels
will be sent.
