MAKES HIS POSITION vERv

sENfAr.vEs.
SITUATION. IS Why UNCERTAIN
OFFICIALS AWAITING DEVELOP.
MENTS WITH SOME CON.
Germ.

Washington. Jan. 81. - The Ven.
ezuelan situation is still very mlcer.
tain and officials are awaiting With
some concern the developments of The
next forty-eight hours. No final an.
swer has come to Minister Bowens
proposition offering a guaranty as de.
manded by the allies, as a preliminary
to the raising of the blockade and the
relief of the unfortunate situation in
which the blockade places the people
and government of Venezuela. Tho
contention Of the three allies that they
shall be given preferential treatment
in settlement and payment of their
claims as against all the other seven
creditor nations is the point On which
the negotiations now hang fire. Min.
lister Bowen is insistent that the allies
shall not have preferential treatment
in the matter of the
Payment Of the Claims,
and in all his conferences with the
representatives of the European gov.
ernments here he has made his posi-.
ton very clear. 1t is known that ne
has declined to modify his demands in
this respect. Pressure along certain
influential lines has been brought to
bear on the allies to show the justice
of Mr.. Bowen's contention. The reiec.
ton of els proposition for the treat.
ment of all the creditors alike, it is he.
lieTed here, would result in throwing
the case to The Hague tribunal, before
which body all the nations having
claims against Venezuela would be
placed on an equal footing. 1t is
known that the allies would pretef
that this should not be done, as con.
sideration of the claims by that body
would entail much delay in their set
Element, and there are other features
which make it desirable to the allies
that the
Claims Be Settled
outside that body. One of them is
that if they come before The Hague,
Venezuela would have the right to
set up counter claims as an Offset to
those presented by the allies. These,
it is said, might reduce considerably
the amount of money to be paid by
Venezuela.
For these and other reasons it is not
surprising to we'll informed persons
here that the European governments
are taking time to consider fully their
reply to MI. Bowen's proposition be,
fore making their final answer. At
the same time, the fact that they have
not agreed upon their final answer
caused an uneasy feeling in Washing
ton and some apprehension as to what
the future may bring forth.
Minister Bowen continues hopeful OF
a favorable answer to his proposition.
He realizes that the question in an
important one to the nations involved,
and is not unwilling that they should
take time to consider the question
fully.

San Francisco, FEB. 2.-The steam
schooner Crescent City ran on Fish
Rock. off the Mendocino coast, during
a gale early yesterday morning. Her
passengers and crew. numbering in all
about twenty-five. took refuge on the
rock. The steamer Scotia was sig
nailed and after beating about five
hours, launched boat which took
eleven persons and transferred them
to the Scotia. The life saving crew
from Point Arena could not launch a
boat but attempted to shoot lines over
the rocks from shore. Owing to the
wind all efforts in this direction were
unsuccessful. About fifteen persons
arc Still on tho rocks and arc in no
danger except from exposure. The
Crescent City is slowly breaking up.

FAILED TO DELIVER AN ORDER
IMPOSSIBLE TO STATE EXACT
NUMBER OF THE VIC
TINS.

Tucson. Ariz., Feb. ,. - Two coro'
ners juries, both claiming jurlsdlctlon'
were in session all day and neither
one has finished taking evidence III an
effort to identify the fourteen un!dentl-
fed remains and place the RESPONSE
bility for Wednesdays disaster. Supt.
Seroufe of the Tucson division. test-
fed before both juries. His evidence
tended to place the responsibility for
the non-delivery of orders to No. z,
the west-bound passenger train. Upon
Operator Clough, at Wallis station.
Brakeman Loes of No. S, the east
bound passenger train, testified that
Immediately after the collision he was
ordered to proceed to Vail station,
four miles east, and notify the Tucson
office of the wreck. When he arrived
at Walls he found Opa.a1or Clough
standing in the door OF his office
Clough said:
els any one killed." evidently know
ing a wreck had occurred
Loes answered that.a number had
been killed. Clough is reported to
have said:
81 Don't Care Much
about the cars being destroyed, but
am sorry killed any passengers
He said Parker, conductor of No. Z,
did not take all his orders. and that
was the cause of the wreck. He APP
peared to be excited and and exceed
irgly nervous.
Agent Mann of Wallis station. also
day operator, said Clough called him
few minutes after No. had pulled
out of Wallis and said Parker. the con-
ductor, did not take all his orders.
"He left this one," said he, pointing
to one lying on the counter. and which
was the order to pass No. s at Esmond
siding"
The evidence established the fact
that the east-bound passenger train
was running twenty-five miles an hour
and the west-bound forty miles an
hour when the collision took place.
Both juries have taken the testimony
of all the witnesses except Clough,
who cannot be located, and Fireman
Gilbert of No. s, whose condition will
not permit of his appearing or testify
ing.
Both undertakes here agree that
fourteen is the number of recognizable
bodies that were taken from the
wreck. How many more are lost is abb
solutely impossible to state.

ALL MUST Bt TREATED ALIKE
ALLIES HAVE NOT AS VET AN
sWERED MINISTER BoWEN's
PROPOSITION.
SEES GROUND FOR HOPE IN DELAY
INDICATES THAT POWERS REAL
lzE THE IMPORTANCE OF
PROPOSITION.

Washington. Feb. 2.-The Europear
allies have not yet answered Minister
Bowen's proposition. made several
days ago. that there shall be no
preference of claims of Great, Britain,
Germany and Italy against Venezuela
over those of other nations against
the South American country.
Minister Bowen thinks the delay
should be construed in hopeful light
on the ground that the delay in the an.
swcr of the powers indicates that they
realize the importance of his position
in the matter and are giving the sub
ject careful consideration. He still
expects q favorable reply to his con-
tention, and believes that the ques-
lions at issue will be settled at Wash
ington between himself, acting for the
government of Venezuela, and the rep
resentatives of the powers. 1t was re-
ported that an answer to MIR. Bowen's
demand had been received in Wash
ington, but the report cannot be con-
firmed Officially, and the answer. if
received, was not transmitted to Mr..
Bowen. If the answer did arrive the
suspicion is that it was unfavorable to
Mr.. Bowen's contention, and in view
of his
Positive Attitude
in the matter, was not presented to
him, but was withheld by the repre-
sentatives of the allies in order that
they might again impress upon their
governments the Importance of the
question before submitting a final an
swer. 1t became known yesterday
that MIR. Bowen had addressed to the
representatives of the allies what in
a measure might be regarded as an
ultimatum as defining his position.
Mr.. Bowen declines absolutely to dis
cuss the question, but it is known that
he said to the allies that if they per-
sisted in their determination to re-
ceive preferential treatment in the
matter of the settlement of the claims
he would call togethe:, the other cred
itor nations having claims against
Venezuela with view to their making
a formal protest against the demands
of those who participated in the block
ade The effect Of this would be that
the other seven creditor nations would
be lined up against the three allied
powers, with the result that the set
Element of the whole matter in all
probability might go to The Hague if
it is to be settled at all. This note is
believed TO be having it's effect in
staying the final determination of the
question by the allied governments.
