Blockade.
Send Joint Note FavOring
Prompt Declaration
of Peace.

WASHINGTON, Jan 2S-The italian
and British ambassadors and the Ger
man Charge dAffaires, at joint confer
ence to-day. agreed to cable TO their gov
ernments urging a prompt acceptance of
Bowen's last proposition TO enable the
lifting OF the Venezuelan blockade at once.
In this cablegram, which was sent az
neon, it was suggested that the consider
alton of the details be postponed until
after the signing Of the preliminary pro-
tccol
Signor Mayor des Planches. the Italian
ambassador as the ranking representa-
tive of the allies. called on Bowen this
afternoon and informed him of the dis
patch of the joint cabIegram to the pow
ers and expressed the hope that it would
expedite the arrival of the final answer.
Partial confirmation has been obtained
here of cable dispatches that Belgium is
to take part in the administrator of the
customs receipts. Bowen declines to dis
cuss the details Of his plan, however. I'M
III the blockade has been raised. Late
this afternoon he gave out a brief state
ment of the diplomatic debt of Venezuela
and the methods for its future adjustment.
In round numbers this debt amounted
On December 81, 1901, TO more than s14.-
W0OOO and consisted of claims which had
previously been adjusted. Since that
Oeittrf OWlHS 10 the almost constant state
OF revolution which has prevailed IN Ven
ezuela, no payments have been made on
the debt Bowen's plan provides that Is
per cent of the customs receipts of all the
Venezuelan ports shall go toward the pay
ment of this debt. This arrangement, it
is stated, will interfere in no wise with
the plan Of Bowen. submitted to the pow
ers, for the settlement of the unajudicated
claims. For the payment of the latter 80
per cent of the customs duties Of the two
ports of Porto CabellO and La Guaira has
been offered in pledge by Bowen.
From the highest authority it was
learned to-day that the publication by
the London Foreign Office Of the fact
that Great Britain and not Germany
sought the alliance against Venezuela
was brought about by representations
from the German Foreign Office 1t is
said that Germany had threatened to
publish the diplomatic exchanges be-
tween the German and British Foreign
Offices unless Great Britain Immediately
should bear the responsibility for the al
lance. This threat was induced by the
anti-German feeling aroused in the Unit
ed States by events in Venezuelan
waters
