NEGOTIATING WITH FRANCE.
Mr.. Eowen Seeks to Conclude Agree.
nent With That Country.

Washington, Feb. 18.--Following
promptly the signing of the protocol
for the settlement of the United States
claims against Venezuela. Mr. Bowen
began negotiations with M. Jusserand,
the French ambassador, for the prepa-
ration cf protocol for the adjudica-
ton of the claims of citizens of France
against the South American republic
He made formal call on MI Jusse-
land and had a talk with him with a
view to arriving at basis of agree
mont. The French ambassador will
consult his government by cable in
order to obtain certain instructions
to aid him in his work, and after they
have been received it is expected the
negotiations will proceed smoothly
and eXpeditiously.
Amount of French Claims.
The French claims against Vene-
zuela, aside from those which already
have been adiudicated, approximate
eleven million bolivars.
Mr.. Bowen will communicate with
the Mexican ambassador regarding a
protocol for settlement of claims of its
citizens against Venezuela. Mexico's
claims amount to less than 100000.
A comparison of the terms of the
protocols signed by Mr.. Bowen with
the representatives of Germany, Great
Britain and Italy. and that with the
| United States shows that the protocol
with the United States a definite time
is fixed for the meeting of the commits
sion to settle the claims, which must
be decided in six months, and that the
awards are to be payable in gold or
its equivalent in silver. while in the
protocols with the European allies
there are none of these limitations.

Vienna. Feb 1S.-The Neue Freie
Presse announces that the Austro'
Russian note was submitted to the
cabinets of Berlin, Paris, London and
Rome during the day. and that it will
be presented to the porte on Feb. 10
unless the powers require revision
of it. in which case it's presentation
will be delawed until Feb. 81.
The reform proposals are chiefly OF
an administrative and financial nature
such as the porte heretofore has prom.
ised. but never executed. One new
feature is the appointment of a gov.
ernor. not necessarily Christian,
who shall have authority to act with,
out referring to the porte in every
contingency
1t is believed in diplomatic circles
that the porte will oppose the appoint,
ment of such governor and it is Sc.
riously doubted whether the reforms
will satisfy the Macedonians The
good faith of the Bulgarian govern.
ment IN ordering the recent arrests
Of Macedonians is also questioned. in
view of the fact that the most promin.
ent revolutionists managed to escape.
A formidable outbreak in the early
spring is considered as by no means
impossible. According to advices from
Salonica. the German. British and
1ta'i"1 military attaches have arrived
In that city from Constantinople.
