EVERY EFFORT
To END DISPUTE
ENJOYS Here in Favor of Set
tlenent of Difficulties in
Venezuela
MAY ACCEPT Mr., BONEN'S PLAN
Neaotiators Think Claimant Nations
Will Suffer More Than Venezuela If
Controversy Is Referred to the Hague
Tribunal.

VIII Suner More ihan venezuela IT
Controversy Is Referred to the Hague
Tribunal.
Washington Feb. Livery effort
is making by the representatives here
to secure an early settlement of the
Venezuelan dispute without referring
Il to The Hague. In this effort the
Italian and British ambassador and
the German minister. Baron Spec Won
Sternburg, are receiving the endorse.
ment Of Mr. Bowen. as well as the
cordial approval OF the government OF
the United States. 1t is understood
that the president, while in no way
connected with the negotiations, is
personally in favor OF final agree
ment being reached at Washington.
This fact, II is believed, will have an
important hearing on the decision of
the British and German foreign Of.
fees.
The British ambassador and the
German minister have both cabled to
their government the fact that Mr..
Bowen has expressed his willingness
to give the allies preferential treat
ment for three months in order that
they may emerge from the controversy
without injury to their honor.
The allies have not yet answered
the last representations Of their en-
VOWS here, urging an acceptance of
this plan. II may be some days yet
before final answer reaches Wash
ington, but all the negotiators feel
hopeful of a successful outcome.
At joint conference at the British
embassy yesterday the three months
proposition was discussed at length.
and the question of the possible refer
ence of the case to The Hague was
considered. 1t was considered that
the claimant nations will suffer far
more than Venezuela If the Washing
ton negotiations fail. And once the
question Of settling the entire dispute
at The Hague is raised, Venezuela
stands ready to interiect countless de-
tails into the protocol which the allies
representatives are quite sure they
cannot allow to be arbhrated. All
this will serve only TO complicate fur
ther an ugly situation, and the nego
tiators feel that its main effect will
be an increase of unrest throughout
the United States and South America
against the allied powers. British and
German tnade. It is pointed out, is
suffering greatly from the maintenance
of the blockade.
The British ambassador had a lone
conference with Secretary Hay yester
day, and in the meantime Baron Stern
burg was calling on Mr.. Bowen. The
British ambassador was desirous Of
knowing the attitude OF the Washing
ton government respecting a refer
ence Of the dispute to The Hague and
the fact that the administration favorE
a prompt settlement by the Washing
ton negotiators themselves induced
him to lay before his government the
reasons why acceptance of preferen
tial treatment for three months was
desirable.

PNEUMONIA BECOMING PREVALENT
lnclement Weather and Damp Houses
Threaten to Cause an Epi-
dsmic of Sickness.

Pneumonia is becoming as prevalent
as typhoid fever in this city and an
epidemic is threStened. The hospitals
have more than the average numbers
of cases under treatment which with
typhoid and other kindred diseases, are
taxing the accommodations of the local
institutions.
Nurses are in great demand, in many
Instances compelling families in which
sickness has appeared to secure COM
petent persons from Philadelphia al
though the conditions are about the
same in that city. The situation is at
tributed to inclement weather and
damp houses which has also been the
cause of numerous complaints Of pull
monary troubles.
