BALKAN QUESTION Up
Present Phase OF the Matter Is Re.
garded as Acute.
MUNITIONS OF WAR.
1t Is Reported That There Have Been
Several Heavy Purchases Lately
Made by ROumania, Balkan
States and Turkey.

London, Jan. 31.-The publication
of the French yellow book detailing eff
forts made by France and Russia dur
ing the past year to induce Turkey to
institute reforms in Macedonia which
resulted in a tour through the Balkans
of Count Lamsdorff and in an Austro'
Russian agreement regarding press re-
forms in Turkey point to the fact that
an acute phase Of Balkan question has
arisen.
Rumors of Austria preparing q
squadron at her naval port, Of Pola for
passage Of Russian torpedo boats
brought through the Dardanelles into
the Black sea and other incidents are
being recalled, ,rumors issued by Aus
trian government are received with
some skepticism-
There have been recently several re,
ports of hasty purchases of war ma
terial by Roumania, Balkan states and
Turkey
The yellow book confirms the state.
ment that France approves of Count
l.amsdorffs proposal to institute radi,
cal reforms in Macedonia, and gives
u gloomy account of the deplorable
conditions prevailing in Macedonian
provinces. Reports are current in
Odessa that Austria and Russia have
agreed upon a joint naval coercion OF
Turkey in the approaching spring to
enforce reforms in Macedonia.
According to Professor Bambury
who is supposed to be well informed
as to the views entertained at Yildiz
Kiosk the sultan, believing the inten
ton is to wrest Macedonia from the
Turkish empire, would prefer risks in
war to acquiescenee in European de
mands. The drift of European com
| ment is that although there is no i'm
mediate danger, the situation is caus
ing diplomatists the keenest anxiety.

CANNOT BE PUBLISHED.

In Event of Refusal Minister Bowen VIII
Confer with Other Powers
Washington. Jan. 30.-No answer
yet has come from the allied powers
to Mr. Bowen's last proposition.
The British ambassador sent a long
cablegram to Lord Lansdowne Thurs
day afternoon, stating what might be
expected in case Great Britain and
her two allies insisted on preferential
treatment for blockading powers. The
text of the cablegram cannot be pub
lished. but it is inferred by the for
eign Office that Minister Bowen, in the
event of the refusal of his proposition,
would call upon representatives of
other claimant powers in Washington
and state to them that Venezuela was
being forced by the triple alliance to
yield to plan which would affect Sc
riously the interests of France, Belgi-
UNI, Norway Sweden, Spain. Denmark,
Holland and the United States.

DETAILS OF REJECTION.
They Cause Considerable Concern and
Surp e in Paris

They Cause Considerable Concern and
Surp.i in Paris.
Paris. Jan. 31.-The foreign once
has received lengthy official advice
giving details of the rejection by the
allies of the proposal that France aad
other countries receive equal treatment
in the Venezuelan settlement.
Frnch officials had not doubted that
equal treatment would be recognized,
and this unexpected turn of events has
caused much surprise and concern.
After comforting with those in CHIEF
authority an official said that the
French position is based on two essen
tial principles. The first is that In
pacific settlement between two sover-
eign nations each is entitled to at least
equal treatment. If not, precedent
would be established, officials say,
which would be incentive to war as
countries first adopting force in coilec-
ton of claims would have superior
rights to those observing usual paclhc
means of settlement. The view IS
strongly held here that the United
States, France and Belgium are in eff
feet pacific allies, as they did not resort
to force against Venezuela.
1t is insisted that the present att1-
trde with the allies tends not only to
prejudice the rights of pacific allies,
but also establishes the dangerous
principle that resort to war is prefer
able to efforts TO maintain peace.
The second principle of the French
position is that the France-Venezuelan
settlement is in the form OF a treaty.
which entities it to international rec
ognition.' This was formally executed
prior to the adoption of force by the al
lies. and while Venezuela retained full
independence in the exercise Of her
sovereign right to make treaty. There
fore. it is maintained, this antedates
rights arising from resort to force. 1t
is not insisted, however, that this prior
treaty settlement entities France to
priority in the division of customs rev.
enues. as officials hold all powers hav-
ing claims should receive equal treat
ment. 1t was at first supposed Great
Britain, Germany and Italy favored
this view and that the opposition came
from the personal attitude of their rep
resentatives, but latest advices indi-
cate a sympathetic attitude Of the Brit
list ambassador at Washington, Sir
Michael Herbert, German charge daft
flares, Count Won Quadt. and Italian
ambassador, Signor Mayer Des Plan
ches, who are restricted in their in
| structions Full recognition is given
of evident fairness of Minister Bowen.
