carried with ii raising of the blockade.
the general understanding being that the
blockade would end when the negotiations
at Washington had reached an agreement.
II is understood that in refusing this last
proposal submitted by the British ambas-
sador on behalf of the allies, Minister Bow
en- took the ground that he could not ac-
cept In principle the contention that block
AIDES and bombardment of forts. and the
consequent killing of helpless men, women
and children, entitled any power or alliance
or powers TO preferential treatment at the
hands of "A civilized nation. 1t was assert
ed that should the peace powers and the
blockadlng powers agree to such principle
they would incorporate in the law OF ma
tions doctrine in conflict with the tenets
OF all modern-day ethics.
Moreover. Venezuela, il was said. regard
ed the preferential demand of the powers
as Objectionable because ii would enable
the continuance of the triple alliance of
Great Britain, Germany and Italy for a
period of six years or more, and in accept
ing II Venezuela would be encouraging and
abettlng the maintenance of a hostile al
lance against herself The British am
bassador was informed in the note that
Americans north and south want peace
and not alliances.
Venezuela took special exception to the
action of the British government in lnltlat-
ing this last proposal by which Great
Britain could hold fast to Germany and
Italy in their alliance against Venezuela
until the last cent of the claim is paid.
The prediction made in her response
that surprise and regret of the keenest
sort would be felt throughout the Americas
when it was known that Great Britain had
even proposed continuing her present al
lance with Germany and Italy one moment
longer than was necessary, particularly in
view of her previous representations to the
effect that she was anxious TO end the
Venezuelan dispute and call off the alliance
at the earliest possible time.
In suggesting that the question of prefer
entail treatment he referred 10 The Hague,
it was understood that Mr.. Bowen did so
in view of the fact that that question is
the only one which remained in dispute.
The allies were advised that Venezuela was

stand by what had been already agreed on.

the practical work at Annapolis. This was

was the verdict. And next summer there
will be quite fleet of these trim cutters

lug sails OF jumping through the water to
the steady strokes of young Western arms.
The summer girls at Maxinkuckee can

there will be more of him. For new crews
must be had for the new cutters that have
just been secured.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The Foreign Office
officials to-day, replying to inquiries as to
whether the representatives or the powers
had reached an agreement with Minister
Bowen, said that, while it was premature
to make such a statement, the indications
point to a speedy settlement unless fresh
difficulties crop up at the eleventh hour.
The government is already considering a
method for raising the blockade. An inter-
change of lengthy cable messages is pro-
ceeding this evening between Washington.

Dispatches have been received in official
quarters in London and Berlin saying that
the diplomatic air in regard to the Vene-

as result of the interview between AM

Saturday According to the dispatches, Sir
Michael Herbert made some plain-spoken
observation respecting the conduct of the
negotiations, and the interview altogether
was somewhat heated"

Venezuelan officials from the customs re-
ceipts of the two ports of Porto Cabello
and Laguayra, 30 per cent. being the
amount which Mr.. Bowen and the allies
have agreed shall be set aside for this pur-
pose.
2 In the event that the Caracas government
permits thirty days at any time during the
settlement of the claims to pass without
prompt and full payments to any nation
the plan provides that the Belgian gov
eminent shall then step in and take charge
of the administration of custom receipts
to insure fair treatment for the foreign
ers. This idea was suggested to Mr.. Bowen
by the fact that the Belgians are now i'm

toms receipts of Persia, where Mr. Bowen
was minister before his appointment to
Venezuela.
An official of the Washington govern
ment, upon learning tonight of the inten-
ton of the allies to appeal TO President
Roosevelt to act arbitrator for them in
the matter of preferential treatment. made
the significant point that if the allies ap-
pealed to the President without first con-
sulting Mr.. Bowen and gaining his consent
Venezuela will feel that her rights are be-
ing trampled on, and unless her permission
is gained will certainly not consent to the
powers naming the arbitrator of this vital
question.
In the event that the matter goes to The
Hague the allies will only be accepting the
proposition made by Mr.. Bowen in his ulti-
matum addressed to the British ambassador
last Monday.
Baron Sternberg had a conference with
Mr.. Bowen at late hour tonight. He
went to Mr.. Bowen's hotel from the White
House, where he had attended the con-

REsENTATIvE AND SENATOR.
Long at Head of the Indian Commits
Vote with n Republican Ballot.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. Feb 5.-Ex-United
States Senator Henry Laurens Dawes died
at 5:l5 this morning in his home in this
city. He had been sick since Christmas
night, when he contracted a severe cold
while driving. The cold developed into the
grip which undermined his system. Since
last sunday night he had been unconscious.
when president Roosevelt visited Pittsfeld
last fall he called on the veteran states
man. 1t was while returning from the
visit TO the Dawes home that the trolley
accident occurred in which the President
inquired. The funeral will be held next
Sunday.
Henry l.. Dawes was born in Cumming
ton. Mass, on Oct. go 1916, graduated from
Yale in 1899, taught for two years. and in
1s41 became editor of the Greenfield Ga
zette, soon resigning to take a position on
the Adams Transcript; in 1912 was admit
ted to the Berkshire county bar, in 1858
elected district attorney of the Western
district of Massachusetts, and was first
elected to Congress in 1867. He was sue
cessively reelected to the House of Repre-
sentatives until 1878, and in 1875 he was
elected to the United States Senate. and
reelected twice. In 1893 Mr.. Dawes prac-
tically retired from public life, after spend
ing thirty-six years in Congress.
Mr.. Dawes was chairman of the Indian
commission from his appointment to the
time of his death, and from his Pittsfield
home he directed the affairs of the Five
Civilized Tribes. Mr.. Dawes wrote all of
his letters himself, and he operated a type
writer with much agility. The correspond
ence in connection with the Indian COM
mission occupied a good deal of his time.
which he passed mostly in the company of
his daughter, Miss Anna L. Dawes, who
looked after her father with jealous care.
Mr.. Dawes always took much interest In
politics. For twenty-sever years he drove
regularly to the polling place in Pittsfield
with Patrick O'Hearn, his coachman.
Speaking of O'Hearn, last November, Mr..
Dawes said:
Yes. he has voted the straight Demo-
cratic ticket and / have voted the straight
Republican ticket during those twenty
seven years, and hold him in high regard
because what have said has never turned
him in his political belief. Together we
drive to the polling place, and Pat holds
the horse while L go in and vote. Then j
| come out and hold the horse while Pat
casts his ballot. This is what we have done
| for twenty-seven years, and / guess it is
what We Will do this year."
Mr.. Dawes attended the Inauguration Of
every President of the United States since
James Buchanan. He was much pleased
| to receive call from President Roosevelt
| on Sept. 3, short time before the fatal
accident to Secret Service officer William
Craig. Six years ago, during the preSi-
| Dental campaign, Mr.. Dawes delivered one
| political speech in Boston.
