SPANISH PROTOCOL SIGNED.
In Settlement Venezuelan Claim
Diaz is to Name Umpire.

Washington April 3.-Mr. Bowen,
Venezuela's plenipotentiary, signed
with Senior Ojeda, the Spanish min
lister, the Venezuelan-Spanish proto-
col providing for the adjustment of
the Spanish claims by joint COM
mission at Caracas. The president of
Mexico, it is provided, shall select
the umpire in the case of the failure
of the commission to agree.
1t Is understood that the instruc-
tons to Baron Won Sternberg, the
German minister, will be identical to
those prepared in London. Signor
Mayor Des Planches, the Italian am
basador, will proceed in harmony with
the British and German program.
In addition to Mr. Wayne Mac
Veagh, who will be the chief counsel
for the United States and the other
peace powers at The Hague, it is
said to be the present intention of the
Washington authorities that he shall
be assisted by Mr.. Bowen, who will
continue to act in his capacity as
VeneZuela's plenipotentiary, and
probably by Mr.. Penfield, solicitor for
the state department. who conducted
with such success the case of the
United States in the Plus fund arbi.

BOWEN FIRM WITH ALLIES.
Minister Refuses to Agree Venezuela
Shall Stand Cost of Blockade.

Washington April A joint con-
ference between Minister Bowen and
the representatives Of the allies was
held yesterday. MIR. Bowen presented
his reply to the amendments which
the allies proposed to the original
draft of the protocol. He accepted
several changes in phraseology in the
convention, but informed the other
negotiators that under no circum-
stances would he accept the insertion
of new article poviding that Venez-
ucia should pay the costs OF the block.
ade in case the decision at The Hague
should be adverse to the preferential
treatment. His refusal on this point
was absolute.
1t was agreed that Mr.. Bowen's OBJ
jections and arguments should be
cabled at once to London, Berlin and
Rome. The original protocols pro-
vided for the submission OF the sim
pie question whether the powers that
employ force to secure the payment
of international debts are emitted to
payment before other creditory pow
ers which do not employ force.
1t is feared the new proposition will
arouse storm of opposition In Venez-
uela where the congress is already be-
coming very FESTIVE and can scarcely
be Kept in line by the executive to
secure the execution of the protocols
drawn here by Bowen.

THOUSAND MEN LOST IN BATTLE
Bulgarian Bands and Turkish Troops
Meet In Bloody Contest.


Berlin April A dispatch from
Constantinople to the Lokal Anzeiger,
dated noon yesterday. announces that
the Bulgarian hands and Turkish
troops in Okhrida district have fought
battle and that 1000 men were
killed or wounded.
Constantinople, April 4.-Official
adyices from Monaster say the Bull
garian inhabitants of thirty villages
in the Okhrida district, totalling 5000
men and supported by the bishop and
number of revolutionary bands,
have risen against the Turks They
surrounded small detachment of
Turkish troops in the mountains
northward of Okhrida, but to troops
succeeded in cutting their way out
after sustaining considerable loss.
Another dynamite outrage at the
town of Mustapha Pacha has led to
the discovery that the revolutionary
committee is supposed to be respon
sible for the attempt to wreck the
Oriental express early in the morn
ing of March 81, when the bridge of
the Turkish Oriental railroad between
Adrianople and Mustapha Pacha was
blown up by an internal machine.
Although affairs at Mitrovitza and
Prisptina are reported to be calmer,
the rising of the Albanians in those
districts creates intense concern at
the palace and among the ministers
and at the embassies. 1t is felt that
a continuation of the trouble in the
vicinity of Sandjak and Navibazar is
liable to lead at any moment to an
extension of Austrian occupation over
the entire Sandjak district and as
far as Mitrovitza, although 1t is be
lieved that nothing short of absolute
necessity will induce Austria to take
advantage of it's right which is reserv.
ed to her by the treaty of Berlin.

DEMOCRATS AT A BANQUET.

Bryan and Stevenson Present at Dcs
Moines on the I'd.
Des Moines, April democrats
from all over the state were in at
tendance at the Jeffersonian ban
luet at the Slavery house last night.
Among the notable attendance were
w. J. Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson,
who made addresses. The address
Of Mr.. Stevenson was devoted to a
plea for harmony between the exist
ing factions of the party, while Mr..
Bryan declared that there could be
no harmony that meant the surrender
of principles and no alliance with
those democrats whose sympathies
are with the plutocratic element.
Addresses were also made by Gen.
eral j. b Weaver; who came from
Louisiana to be present; J. ]. Shea, of
Council Bluffs: J. B. Sullivan of Cres-
tom; G. A. Walsh, secretary of the
national committee; Judge A. Van
Wageman, of Sioux City; and o. P.
Myers, of Newton. w. r. Hearler, Of
New York, and ex-Congressman But
Ter sent letters regretting their in
ability to be in attendance G. +.
Rinehart, of Newton, was toastmas-
ter
During the afternoon the Kansas
City platform democrats effected an
organization. An address was made
by Mr.. Bryan, whose remarks regard
ing the boilers of 1896 and 1900 were
loudly applauded.
The plan of organization mapped
out by Mr. Rinehart was to select a
chairman for each district, these
chairmen In turn to name county
chairmen, and to organize by electing
state officers. The county chairmen
in turn will organize the townships
and precincts.
The second district was not rep.
resented. The chairman Of the other
districts were named as follows:
First-E. H. Rockwell of Farming
ton.
Second
Third-M. E. Lyons of Dubuque.
Fourth-D. Dermore of Evanston.
Fifth-John Hobbs of Marshall
town.
Sixth-G. F. Rinehart of Newton.
Seventh-H. C. Evans of Des
Moines.
Eighth-E. J. Sankey of Leon.
NINTH. J. Shea of Council Bluffs.
Tenth-P. H. Donlon of Emmets
burg
Eleventh--Earl Bronson of Spencer.
The district chairmen then met
and organized by electing Mr.. Rine
hart as chairman for the state of the
district organizations. He was au.
thOriZed to select a secretary, and as
it was thought wise to have the head
officers in the same town or close to-
gether, o. p. Myers of Newton was
made treasurer.
Each district committeeman was
authorized to appoint a chairman for
each county and report to the state
organization within ten days. At the
afternoon meeting $55 was raised as
nucleus for a campaign fund, and at
the banquet in the evening much
larger sum was raised, so that the
campaign will start with several hun.
dred dollars in the treasury.
Discussing the movement of the
Kansas City platform forces to or.
ganize, following the conference, Mr.
Bryan said the same policy of organi
cation was being carried on through
out the country. He said number
of states had already started along
the same line, and reports from
many localities indicated that organ
ization was being carried on with en-
