In the note received by the British
ambassador from Mr.. Bowen the la,
.er refuses point blank the PROPOSE
ion for 20 and 10 per cent division
IN the ground that to recognize the
principle 1t embodies would be abso
,utely offensive to modern civilization
IN view of the fact that the negoti
Ators are agreed on all save the cues
ion Of preferential treatment, the am
,assador is informed that Venezuela
las decided to submit that question
o The Hague arbitration tribunal.
The acceptance of this proposition
Jenezuela contends, carries with 1t q
aising of the blockade, the genera
understanding being that the block
de would end when the negotiators
It Washington had reached an agree
nent.
1t Is understood that in refusing
his last proposition submitted by the
.ritish ambassador ON behalf of the
lilies Mr.. Bowen takes the grouno
hat he can not accept in principle
he contention that blockades ant
COMPARTMENTS of forts and the con
equent killing of helpless men, wo
nen and children entitle any powe,
II alliance of powers to preferential
treatment at the hands of a civilized
alton. 1t is claimed that should the
'eace powers and the blockading pow
RS agree to such principle they
would incorporate in the law of ma
lions doctrine in conflict with the
tenets Of all modern ethics.
Moreover, Venezuela, it is stated
regards the preferential demand OF
the powers as Objectionable because
It would enable the continuance OF
he triple alliance of Great Britain.
Germany and Italy for a period of 81,
ears or more, and In accepting l.
Tenezuela would be encouraging and
,betting the maintenance of hostile
alliances against herself. The Brit
Ssh ambassador is informed in the

Venezuela has taken special excep
ion to the British government in
ttiating this last proposition by which
treat Britain can hold fast to Ger
many and Italy in their alliance
against Venezuela until the last cen,
IF the debt Is paid. The prediction
IS made in her response that surprise

even proposed continuing her pres
ent alliance with Germany and Italy
one moment longer than is necessary
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
preferential payment be referred to
The Hague, 1t is understood that Mr..
Bowen does so in view of the fact
taht the question is the only one
that remains In dispute.

ECHO POST OFFICE ROBBED.
THIEVES SECURED BOOTY VAL.
UED AT $500.
Echo Is a Small Place 10 Miles North
of CoIviIle, Wash.-Two Robbers In
the DeaI-Money Stolen Was There
for Safe keeping-Tall and Short
Man-Store in Isolated District.

Colville, Wash, Feb. AT II
O'Clock at night r. E. Watts, mer-
chant and postmaster at Echo, 10
miles north of this city, was held up
and robbed by two masked men. They
secured booty valued at $500. Watts
had closed his store and was building
big fire in the stove to keep the
building warm when a knock at the
door attracted attention. He raised
the bar placed across the inside of the
door. when the strangers, evidently
customers, walked inside.
One, tall man, showed revolver
in Watts face, stating the business he
and his fellow thug meant to tran
sact. Watts obeyed the order "hands
up" The short man proceeded to rifle
the till and then searched Watts, who
had money on his person, Few words
passed. The strangers said nothing
on leaving and left no clue.
They being heavily clothed against
winter weather, and there being little
light in the room. Watts did not see
the masks on the men until threats
were made.
Most of the money stolen had been
deposited for safe keeping.
The fact that one robber was tall
and the other short adds interest to
the case, as the same comparison was
made of the men who robbed David
NIGEL, a farmer in the same neighbor-
hood, about two years ago, and also
of the two who robbed the Bossburg
railway depot about the same time. No
clue was left to identify the robbers
in any of these cases.
Watts was alone at the time Of the
robbery. The store being in an iso-
lated country place no one was near
to be given the alarm and make chase.
Many well travelled roads center there,
on any one of which the highwaymen
might escape. The store has no tele-
phone communication. It is considered
strange that Watts did not notify the
| sheriff. He gave no information about
the postal funds. In any event they
would be light. Watts has been in
business there about six months.
