Desdly Fumes Kill Firemen Who
InhaIe Them.

Milwaukee, Feb. 5.-Four firemen
are dead-and ten others are serious
ly i'll from the effects of inhaling the
fumes of nitric acid while quenching
the flames at the plant of the Schwab
Stampand Seal company Tuesday. The

trated. A complete list Of the dead and

follows:

White, captain, truck 1; Edward Ho-
gan, pipeman, engine i; Thomas

White, and the doctors say is entirely
due to the fumes they inhaled. The
firemen who were fortunate enough to
escape the deadly fumes are anxi0usly

why Roosevelt Declined.

The administration, it is stated In
an official quarter, was unwilling to
approve the effort Of the British gov
eminent to eliminate Minister Bowen
from the negotiations, and moreover
the president could not have accepted
the invitation of the allies, even had
he been so disposed, without the con-
sent of the other negotiator, Minister
Bowen, and this the allies did not OBJ
tain or request in their note of invita-
ton to the president. Today prelimi-
naries with reference to the signing
Of the protocol or referring the matter
to The Hague will be considered.
Protocols Have Arrived.
Immediately on receipt of Secretary
Hays note announcing the presidents
declination, the British ambassador adj
dressed a communication to Bowen,
stating that he was suffering from an
attack. of grippe and would be obliged
II Powen would call on him. The
Venezuelan envoy went at once to the
embassy, where the British ambassa-
dor explained that he had been too Ill
to call for several days, and announced
the arrival OF his protocol. which he
was prepared to submit to Bowen for
signature. Later the German minis. err.
Baron Sternburg, called on Bowen and
announced the arrival of his protocol
Today's programme will include pre-
liminary preparations for the signing
Of the protocols.
Conditions of the Settlement.
In these protocols the conditions pre-
cedent to the raising of the blockade
will be clearly stated; namely, that so
per cent of the customs receipts CT
the ports of La Guayra and Porto Ca
bello are to he set aside by VeneZue-
la for the satisfaction of her creditors.
and that the question as to whether
the allied powers shall receive prefer
entail, or as Great Britains terms it,
separate" treatment in the settle
ment, shall be referred to The Hague.
These protocols also will provide that
Venezuela shall pay down to each of
the three allied powers G5,500 as an
initial cash payment.
How the Money Will Be Collected.
The plan agreed on for the collection
of the payments provides that the Ca
racas government shall be entrusted
with the administration of the receipts
unless thirty days are allowed to elapse
without the prompt payment to any
one nation of its share, in which event
the Belgium government is empow
cred to appoint agents to take charge
of the customs houses and administer
the payments until the claims Of all
the nations are satisfied.

it is asserted, he informed his govern

Berlin Dislflxes Bowen's Attitude.
Berlin. Feb. 5. = Some disappo:nt-
ment is felt by the German foreign Of
fee officials at Minister Bowen's at
titude in his conferences with the am
bassadors at Washington. Bowen, it is
said here, impresses the representa-
tives of the allies as allowing his fight
ing spirit to overbear his desires for
a quick settlement His demeanor at
the conferences is described as that
of an advocate defending an inncc MT,
prosecuted client Besides. the foreign
Office regards Bowen's first proposition
as having changed after 1t was ac-
cepted, and it is held that it was not
clearly stated, and for that reason was
misunderstood
Misunderstood the Proposition.
The British and German govern
ments thought Bowen's proposed set
tingapart of theper cent. Of the customs
of La Guayra and Port Cabello was
for the liquidation of their claims
alone, and Sc accepted it Professionally.
Later, upon figuring on the future re-
ceipts on the basis of receipts in the
past it was estimated that 1t would
take six years to pay the first class
Of claims. The two governments then
replied to Bowen, in substance: six
years is rather a long time, but we
accept"
Then They Learn Differently.
Then they learned that the 80 per
cent. was to include the claims Of all
countries. This, Great Britain and
Germany said, was not enough, as in
stead of six years it would take TWEEN
ty years to pay all the claims. The
cooperating powers, standing by their
first conditions that the blockade shall
not be raised until an adequate guar
antee for the payment of the reserved
claims is given. have instructed their
embassies at Washington to insist up
on such an adequate guarantee. 9th
erwise the blockade will continue for
months, or for years, if this is neces-
sary.
