AN EXPLANATION FROM BERLIN.

Berlin. Jan. 3l-The apparent hitch in the
Venezuelan negotiations at Washington is ex-
plained here in the following manner:
Venezuela hypothecated to France time
ego 13 per cent OF the customs receipts, which
constitutes a priority claim upon the Venezuelan
customs. The blockading powers quite
willing to recognize it in this sense. but Presi-
dent Castro wants it TO be understood con-
stituting part of the 80 per cent offered to the
blockading powers. AS the latter would then
have only IL per cent left, they regard 1t
inadequate. and hence not willing to permit
the inclusion of Frances percentage. 1t is be-
lieved here that the blockade will not be raised
until President Castro yields on this point.
Washington, Jan. 3i.-Minister Bowen, when
the dispatch regarding the explanation given
in Berlin Of the apparent hitch in the Venez-
ueIan negotiations shown him. said:
All settled foreign claims are covered by the
13 per cent arrangement. The 80 per cent
proposition now offered refers exclusively to
settled claims which not only the bockading
powers but the peaceful powers are pressing
for settlement. 1t is absolutely false that the
l3 per cent arrangement is included in the 80
per cent proposition. 1t is entirely distinct.
