GERMANS IGNORE REQUEST.
Failure to Reply to Bowen's Proposals
Causes Unpleasant Comment.

Washington, Jan. 27.-An active ex-
change is going on between England
ana Venezuela, as represented by
Bowen, respecting the latter's proposal
20 raise the blockade of Venezuelan
ports as a condition precedent to fur
Their negotiations. The British govern
ment is showing an amicable 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 between b
sador Herbert n Minister Bowen.
The German government, however.
has so far returned no answer to
BoWen's proposition, which fact is the
subject of unpleasant here.
1t is learned the guarantees offered
by Bowen are regarded by the United
states government as eminently rea-
sonable and sufficient. They include a
proposition by President Castro to turn
over the entire Venezuelan customs
system TO the allies for collection of
their indemnities and authorizes the
allies 10 place an official in each OF the
Venezuelan custom houses to make
sure they receive their proper propor-
ton Of the receipts.

ENGLAND is MAD.
Protests Against Ratification of the
Cuban Treaty.

.H..#.. r- .-.
London, Jan. 27.-The reciprocity
treaty between Cuba and the United
states threatens to raise one of the
serious differences of opinion be-.
tween Great Britain and the United
States that has occurred for years.
So much Importance is attached to
the matter hat a meeting Of the cab
met is being specially to
see what action can be taken.
There is, Of course, no alarmist feel
ing as to any possible Straining Of dip
lomatic relations, but Great Britain's
entlre commercial policy is believed to
be vitality concerned.
Ihe matter came to a head through
a reputation from the chamber of COM
merce Of the United Kingdom, which
waited upon Foreign Secretary Laus-
doWne yesterday. 1t included several
members of parliament and represent
ed h most powerful business inter-
ests from all British Industrial cen
tiers.
Replying to the delegates argument
that all advantages which the govern
ment had gained by securing abolition
OF the sugar bounties would be sacri-
need II the Cuban reciprocity treaty
became operative, L~ansdowne said he
thoroughly realized the gravity of the
SITUATION, and proceeded to read dis
patches showing that Ambassador
Herbert a %forcefully represented the
iSrltlsh objections to the treaty, point
ing out that it was, to all intents and
purposes, discrimination against all
British possessions in the West Indies.
Secretary Hays reply maintained
the United States was doing no more
than 1t had a right to do, and intimat-
ed it had no intention of modifying the
cuban treaty. L~ansdowne added that
all information available pointed to the
fact the treaty would pass, but he an
the cabinet would consider if
anything further could be done,

 From the Family Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal. Canada, concerning
 the Camera clubs exhibition the follow ing in reference to Mr. Yeitch of New Haven will be Of interest: We select
 the following prize winners: w. J. Yeitch of New Haven, Conn, 1st prize !"
 Then follows the names of other prize winners and of those receiving honor able mention. Of Mir. Veitch's exhibit the paper says: ...
 MT. Veitch's three pictures are fully equal to those which won first prize in our winter competition, and indeed we have rarely seen finer photographs. They are all three 6xS black and white prints mounted on rough white 10x12 mounts. Lovers Lane. taken near Lake Whitney is an exquisite study in light and shadow. A lane between an avenue of trees is barred with the shad- ow's cast bv nearly level sun. The deepest shadows are beautifully. trans parent. while the highest are not too white. The composition is almost per feet. Almost everything that has been said about Lovers Lane might be re- peated with equal truth of MT. Veitch's Cold Spring. lakeside scene. The one desect in this is that the figure drinking at the spring is too indistinct to make it easy to see what he is doing. In both os these pictures the trees are just opening out their leaf buds, while the ground retains much of the baroness. of winter. We hesitate to say that MT. Veitch's third picture is spring sub ject. The reason of our hesitation is that our knowledge of gardeners Latin is very limited. and the very charming flower photograph labelled ''Kalmia la tifolia.' leaves us a good deal in the dark as to the season when Kalmia is cluster of very pretty white flow CTS. which one might readily take for hawthorn, but for the broad glossy leaves. We have rarely seen flower subject better rendered, and We readily give MT. Veitch the benefit of the doubt as to whether the Kalmia is spring flower.
