Washington, Jan. 3O.--The European
allies have not yet answered Minister
Bowens proposition, made several days
ago, that there shall be no preference OF
the claims Of Germany, Great Britain
ara italy against Venezuela over those
OF the other creditor nations. He still
expects favorable reply to his conten-
tion and believes that the questions
at issue win be settled at Washington
between himself, acting for the gov
ernment OF Venezuela, and the repres-
entatlves OF the powers. 1t IL sup
posed that an answer to Mr.. Bowen's
demand has been received In Washing
ton but reports cannot be confirmed Of
ficlally. and the answer, IL received,
was not transmitted.
II became known today that Mr..
Bowen has addressed to the representa-
lives Of the allies what In measure
might be regarded as an ultimatum, as
defining his position. MIR. Bowen de-
cllnes absolutely 10 discuss the ques-
tlon but II Is known that he said to the
allies that, II they persist In their de-
termination to receive preferential
treatment in the matter of settlement
of the claims. he would call together
the other creditor nations having claims
against Venezuela, with II siew TO their
making \ formal protest against the
demands OF those who participated in
the blockade, The effect OF this would |
be that the other seven creditor nations
would be lined up against the three al
lied powers, with the result that |

probability, might 90 to che Hague, II
II Is settled at all.
This note is believed TO be having It's
