BOWEN TRYING
TO RUSH THINGS
So Far He Has Not Met With
Any Success.
POWERS SILL RAGGLING
IN THE MEANTIME THE BLOCK
ABE rs IN FORCE.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The powers are
yet haggling over the details of Mr..
BOwen's last proposition TO them re-
garding the lifting of the blockade and
the guaranty he is prepared to offer. II
was learned today that Sir Michael
Herbert the British ambassador, IN
the interest OF peace and satisfae-
tory settlement, is using his personal
influence to secure the acceptance OF
Minister Bowen's proposition
The first joint conference of the
Venezuelan negotiators occurred dur
ing the afternoon, by appointment, at
Mr.. Bowen's apartments, the ranking
diplomat, Signor Mayor Desplanches,
the Italian ambassador, making the
representations in French to Mr.
Bowen. The question under discussion
was a matter of the merest detail, the
ENJOYS wishing to know whether the
monthly payments to the allies should
be in proportion to the amount of the
claims. or whether Great Britain, Ger
many and Italy would receive the same
amounts each month until the indem-
nifty was paid. Mr.. Bowen said he was
quite willing to leave this to the pow
ers themselves to settle and any ar
rangement they might make would be
satisfactory to Venezuela.
Preferential Claims.
Another detail which has not yet
been cleared up involves the question
of Preferential treatment of the allied
powers, as against France, Denmark,
Holland, Norway and Sweden, Belgium,
Spain and the United States, in the
payment of indemnities. The point was
made by Venezuela that, were the dis
pute referred to The Hague tribunal, all
the powers would be required TO stand
on an equality, and furthermore, that
as this question did not form part
of the allies conditions precedent to
the raising of the blockade, it did not
seem fair that it should be presented
as essential now that Venezuela had
complied with the original proposition
and offered a satisfactory guaranty
This answer was cabled to the foreign
| offices at London, Berlin and Rome to-
night, and it is hoped that favorable
| answers will be received tomorrow. The
| force of Mr.. Bowen's contention has
/ appealed to the allies Representatives
here and there is reason to believe tha'
| Great Britain, Germany and Italy vii
yield on this last objection and sigT
| the protocol for the raising of thu
| blockade. The blockade once lifted. thu
| representatives of all the powers hav
ing claims against Venezuela will trea
with Mr.. Bowen separately for the set

of other countries besides those taking
