BOWEN EMPHAIIGsLLY REFUSES
Proposition That Venezuela Pay the Costs of
the Blockade
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, April AT the British
Embassy this morning occurred a joint
conference between Mr.. Bowen and the
British and Italian Ambassadors and the
German first secretary. The meeting be-
gan at II o'clock and lasted an hour and
a half Mr.. Bowen presented his reply
to the amendments which the allies had
proposed to his original draft protocol.
He accepts several changes of phraseo-
logy in the convention, but informed the
other negotiators that under no circum-
stances would he accept the insertion of
a new article providing that Venezuela
should pay the costs of the blockade in
case tho decision at The Hague be adj
verse to preferential treatment. 1t was
agreed that Mr. Bowen's objections ard
arguments should be cablcd at once to
London, Berlin and Rome. 1t is not ex-
pected that an answer can reach here
before Wednesday. In the meantime Mr..
Bowen will go to New York for several
days rest.
The proposed new article which Mr..
Bowen rejects is as follows:
IF preferential or separate treatment
IS not given to Great Britain, Germany
md Italy the tribunal may consider
whether any, and what compensation
should be made by Venezuela out Of the
so per cent Of the custom revenues set
aside, to these powers for the expense
which they have incurred in connection
With the blockade"
The text of the draft protocol and Mr.
Bowen's acceptance of most of the
;hanges proposed in it were made public
.o-day. The protocol provides for refer
ence of the question of preferential
treatment to The Hague tribunal, and
for the appointment of the three arbi-
traitors by the Car of Russia

About 300 People Saw Wrestling Events at Gem Opera House.
 About 300 people were present at the Gem opera house Last night to. witness the wrestling events. The main bout was a handicap match between Max Gordon of this town and Edward O'Connell of New Haven. The main event was preceded by two prelimin- aries. The first preliminary was a match between q young man named Grady of Waterbury and Pierce of New Haven. Pierce was much heavier than his opponent and although the Water bury boy put up a good fight he was no match for the skilled man from the Elm city. Pierce secured two falls, the first in three minutes and the sec ond in trife over three minutes. The second preliminary was between Ed- ward Otis of Waterbury and John Speh of Derby. pupil of Ed O'Con- nell. This event was very inter est ing one, the men putting up fine ex- hibition. They wrestled for one hour and neither secured fall. After the match Speh's manager issued a chal- lenge to Otis for finished match. The main event was a strong one. Max Gordon, the we'll known local boy, and Ed o'Connell. the Hghtweighht cham pion of the state, were the principals. OConnell agreed to throw Gordon three times in one hour actual wrest- ling, but he failed to make good. Cor don surprised his many admirers who although they knew him to be plucky. did not think he would put up such splendid fight against a man like ic 9aeH n clever wrestler Time and time again O'Connell obtained holds on Gordon's neck which would have made another man lay fiat on his back in no time. but Gordon's neck is unlike most wrestlers. He squiTmed out of every hold. he broke hold after hold, and at items when O'Connell had a grip on him almost turning his head around, Gordon would break with ease. After one hour of the hardest kind of work and against an opponent who was no mark, O'Connell could do nothing and time was called without his obtaining one fall out of Gordon.
