the Hague Tribunal for
settlement.

CARACAS. Venezuela. Jan. s.-After two
stormy meetings Of the cabinet all the con-
ditions set forth in the replies Of the pow
crs to p dent Castros last proposals for
arbitrat II, been accepted by the vene-
zuelan m The government con-
sders the~ J,.'o be unjust, but de-
clares It is o.. II ID to force. The
Venezuelan answe- vered at the
United States legation >on today.
The conditions cover y nents to
the allies and guarantees for payment
of the balance Of their claims.
It can be said on good authority that the
question OF raising the existing blockade
will not be considered.
Mr.. Bowen has received orders to leave
Venezuela next Saturday for Washington,
where he will present the Venezuelan case
TO the British German commission. a
wsrship will walt for Mr. Bowen at La
Guayra.
The war office here is working day and
night on the preparation OF documents in
order that the Venezuelan case may be
ready for presentation.
Mrs Bowen will accompany him to Wash
ington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. determination was
received here tonight OF the reports from
Caracas to the effect that all barriers IN
the way Of settlement of the claims OF
Great Britain Germany and Italy against
Venezuela had been removed by President
Castro yielding to the demands Of the
European allies. Mr. Bowen will leave
Caracas either on Saturday or Sunday and
come direct to the United States on a war
ship. 1t is probable that Dolphin will be
used for this purpose
Mr. Bowen is clothed with authority tc
represent Venezuela for the adjustment oi
all claims out OF hand.
Should that be found impossible he Is au-
thorized to act for Venezuela in settling
all points open to controversy so far as
possible and in drafting the terms on which
a final and conclusive arbitration shall be
made by the international court at The
Hague. The proceedings in the matter
will take place at Washington presumably
a few days after his arrival. The commits
sioners on the part OF the allies will prob
ably be their leading diplomatic agents IL

While Texas is great State 1t seems
to have q great many drawbacks. Out
there they have the Mexican boil
weevil, which is very destructived to
the cotton crop, the Texas fever
among cattle, and great many other
things. So far the Mexican boil
weevl has not reached us, but the
Texas fever has. Recently Mr.. j. A..
Shirley, a well-known dairyman near
Anderson has had several COWS to die
with this disease and several others
are sick. He sent to Clemson college,
for a veterinarian, who went dowu
and inspected the. heard. This official
gave as his opinion that the COWS bad
been suffering from Texas fever, and
that the disease had been caused BY
ticks. He says that calf may have
ticks On it Without injury, but that IL
o COW grows to maturity without hgv-
Ing ticks and then acquires them, they
will cause what Is known as Texas
fever, which will nearly always prove
fatal. 1t Is said that no certain cure
has yet been found for the disease.
The expert advised Mr.. Shirley to Tett;
some whiskey and give his COWS q half
pint at time.
