GUARANTEES OFFERED BY
BOWEN SEEM SUFFICIENT
TO AMERICAN OFFICIALS,

Washington, IAN. 24.-An active exchange
is going on between England and Vene-
zuela. as represented by Mr.. Bowen, re-
specting the latter's proposal to raise the
blockade of the Venezuelan ports as a con-
dition precedent to further negotiations.
The British Government is showing an
emicable spirit in this matter, and there
are hopes of a satisfactory conclusion if
Germany can be induced to accept the
agreement about to be arrived at bel ween
Ambassador Herbert and Minister Bowen.
The German Government, however, has
30 far returned no answer to Mr.. Bowen's
proposition. which fact is the subject of un-
pleasant comment here.
It is learned that the guarantees offered
by Mr.. Bowen are regarded by the United
States Government as eminently bic
and sufficient. They include a proposition
by President Castro to turn over the on
tire Venezuelan customs system to the
allies for the collection OF their indemri-
ties and authorize the allies to place an
official in each OF the Venezuelan customs
houses to make sure that they secure their
proper proportion OF the receipts.
GRAVE FEARS FELT.
The feeling is increasing here that unles.

dor, was Mr.. Bowen's first caller to-day.

Treaty Threatens to Raise a Differ
ence With America, the Most
Serious in Years.
BRITISH CABINET IS PUZZLED.
Secretary Lansdownc Admits That
Plan Would Lose to Great Brit
ain All Advantage of Sugar
Convention.

London. Jan. 2i-The reciprocity treaty
between Cuba and the United States threat
ems to raise one Of the most serious differ
ences of opinion between Great Britain and
the United States that has occurred for
years.
50 much Importance is attached to tho
matter that a meeting Of the Cabinet is be
ing specially TO see what action
can be taken.
There is. of course. no alarmist feeling as
to any possible straining of diplomatic re-
lations. but Great Rritain's entire CONNER
cial policy. 1t is believed. is vitality con-
cerned.
The matter came to a head through the
deputation from the Chamber of Commerce
of the United Kingdom. which waited on
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne yesterday. It
included several members of Parliament and
represented the most powerful business in
terests from all the British Industrial GEN.
tiers.
Replying to the delegates argument that
all the advantages which the Government
had gained by securing the abolition Of the
NObsN b' q Al-tti II tAS
Cuban reciprocity treaty became operative,
Lord Lansdowne said he thoroughly real
lied the gravity of the situation and pro-
ceeded to read dispatches showing that AM
bassador Herbert had forcefully represented
the British objections to the treaty, point
ing out that it was to all intents and pur-
poses a discrimination against all the Brit
ish possessions in the West Indies.
Secretary Hays reply maintained that the
United States Government was doing no
more than it had the right to do and init
mated that it had no intention Of modify
ing the Cuban treaty.
Lord Landsdowne added that all the infor-
nation available indicated that the treaty
would pass. but he announced that the
Cabinet would consider if anything further
could be done.
The delegates said they understand that
the treaty contains a secret clause stipulat-
ing that no further measures of reciprocity
shall be undertaken by the United States
towards the British West Indies. II such
was the case it was suggested to Lord
Lansdowne that Great Britain would be
only within her right in retaliatinG with
an increased duty on grain.
The Foreign Secretary gave an intima-
ton on this point. which apparently was
only suggested in the hope that some OF the
members of the Cabinet, who are reported
to be strongly in favor Of a more protec-
ticnist policy. might use 1t as a handle to
forward their views.

GERMANY is AGGRIEVED
BY AMERICAN CRITICISM
OF THE COMMANDMENT.

Berlin. Jan. 2I.-The Foreign Office Of
icials, in conversation to-day with the As
ISOLATED Press. referred in aggrieved tones
to the American press comments upon the
bombardment OF Fort San Carlos. One Off
cial said:
In view of Commodore Schedcr's report.
Germany has a just right to feeling indjg-
nant at the fact that u portion OF the Amer
lean press is aroused over the false state
ments of what occurred at San Carlos. with
out awaiting the facts In the case, and
thereupon attacking a friendly Power.
THE Panther's action. the official report
shows. was strictly within the limits Of in
~ternational law. She was proceeding past
the fort TO enter the lagoon of Maracaibo
in order to prevent the importation of con-
traband articles from Colombia, an6 In 90
ing SO was fired upon. The Panther, of
course. answered the fire. as she was en-
titled to do.
The attack was not made by us. but by
the Venezuelan fort. We are quite unable
TO see why any neutral should express dis
approval because the Panther replied, or
because our vessel afterwards leveled the
fective blockade.
a settlement OF the matter at WASHINGTON
and the speedy raising of the blockade is
wholly mistaken.
w want the blockade to be raised lust
as soon as the Powers have adequate guar
antees in hand that their claims VIII be
met. We don't even ask for the immediate
payment of money. but only for guaran-
tees. We cannot raise the blockade empty
handed, without any form of guarantee"

MAY EXTEND TIME LIMIT
ON RECIPROCITY TREATY.
Administration Desires ito Take No
Chances-Denial That Secret
Clause Is Appended.

Washington. Jan. 24.-The State Depart.
ment is considering the ACCESSIBILITY OK ex-
tending the period of time allowed for the
ratification Of the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
now pending before the United States Ser
ate.
The time for ratification expires one week
from to-day. While the Senate managers are
confident OF their ability to secure the APP
prevail of the treaty within the time limit.
the President and Secretary Hay have about
concluded that they will scarcely be war
ranted in risking the loss of this important
convention. and. therefore. they conteIn-
plate the drafting of a special article in
the shape of a protocol. which will pro-
vide for a safe extension of the period al
lowed for ratification.
The attention Of officials who have had to
do with this treaty was directed to-day TO
the statement made in London to LORD
Lansdowne by the delegates of the Cham
her of of the United Kingdom.
to the effect that the Cuban treaty con-
tanned a secret clause STIMULATING that no
further measures OF reciprocity shall be
undertaken by the United States toward
the British West Indies.
1t was explained that there is no secret
CLAUSE in the treaty. What the delegates
undoubtedly had reference to was the
amendment to the treaty made by the Sem
ate Committee prohibiting for a term OF five
years any diminution of the sugar duties in
the tariff laws. the effect of which would
be to prevent the confirmation of any reel
procity treaty with the British West Indian
colonies. or. indeed, with any country, per-
hitting q reduction of the sugar duties.
This amendment is entirely obnoxious to
the administration. but whether its inclusion
would cause the loss of the treaty cannot
be foretold at this moment.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC PEC1AL
Washington. Jan. 24--From an authorf-
tative source it is learned that the admins
tratior has no information to confirm the
suspicion that the bombardment of Fort
San Carlos was ordered from Berlin.
While opinion differs as to the reason for
this attack, which the officers Of the adj
ministration are unanimous in c~ondemning,
some Of the best minds among those upon
whose advice the President depends be-
l.eve that The Imperial Government was not
responsible but that the responsibility for
the aggressiveness of the German squad
ron rests with the officers in command.
Stupidity. rather than a desire to afrront
the United States. is assigned as a reason
for the bombardment.
1.-THE trouble with the German naval Of
ficers is that they could not resist the op-
portunity Of indulging in a little target
practice with their new guns was the way
a Government officer summed up the un-
derlying cause for attack.
There Is no occasion for any apprehen-
sion that the United States intend to take
any action at this time which will bring
about friction with Germany. At the same
time. however. it Is known that the admin
istration believes that even now it would
have ample justification for calling Ger
to account for the acts Of fts naval
forces In Venezuelan waterA

Every ons in the United States I0d in
Europe generally believes that German .'p-
ftalists. through the pisconto GeSelis~haft,
lent 100000 francs cash to Venezuela.
This statement. which has been spread ny
Germany, is false. The loan. which VAS
raised by General CUCspo when he was
President Of Neuezuela. wus largely iiyti-
tious through the MachiaVe''iaU operations
of its ins;igator. Scnor BrJzual Sierra. who
was the Venezuelan Minister # Finance in
1895 and who WAS at The same time the
legal counsel for the Discputo Gc5cllsCAaft
and the German railway.
THE loan was only that Of paper. The
script WAS given to several railway COM
panies i'll consideration Of the release Of

ezuelau Government 10 guarantee the pay
ment of interest on the railway securities

You see that up TO the present the Dis

Moreover, the institution foresaw the drift
of events and its contract with Venezuela,
dated April 10. 1886. says: In no case what
soever shall the Disconto Gesellschaft be
obliged TO give cash for scrip delivered to
the companies. This proves that the Dis

Notwithstanding this fact the Disconto
