Sends al UItimation to England, Ger.
many and Italy.
Washington, Feb. 4. Herbert w.
Bowen. Venezuela's representative in
the negotiations at Washington for
the settlement of the claims against
that country. has sent through the
British ambassador here what
amounts practically to an ultimatum
to the allied powers of Great Britain,
Germany and Italy regarding their in.
sistance for preferential treatment in
the settlement OF their claims against
Venezuela. This note, which tho
British ambassador received shortly
before 9 o'clock last night. was cabled
at once to London, copies Of it being
transmitted to the Italian and German
embassies for transmission to Rome
and Berlin. 1t is in reply to the prop
ositiOn submitted at q Joint confer
ence of the negotiators by the British
ambassador, that the allied powers be
allowed two-thirds Of 30 per cent OF
the customs receipts Of the ports OF
La Guayra and Porto Cabello. and
that the United States and the
Other Claimant Nations,
France, Belgium, Holland. Denmark,
Spain and Norway and Sweden, con.
tent themselves with the remaining
one-third Of this percentage, that is
10 per cent Of the receipts Of these
two ports.
In the note received by the British
ambassador from MI. Bowen last
night the latter refuses point blank
the proposition for q 20 and 10 per
cent division on the ground that to
recognize. the principle it embodies
would be absolutely offensive to mod
ern civilization. In view of the fact
that the negotiators are agreed on all
w the question of preferential treat
mont, the ambassador is informed
that Venezuela has decided to submit
that question to The Hague arbitra-
ton tribunal. The acceptance of this
proposition, Venezuela contends, car
ries with 1t a raising of the blockade,
the general understanding being that
the blockade would end when the me-
SOIldlOIS ~ WdSuIASlOA u2Q reached
An agreement
It Is understood that in refusing
this last proposition submitted by the
British ambassador on behalf of the
allies. Mr.. Bowen
Takes the Ground
that he cannot accept in principle the
contention that blockades and bonn
bardment OF forts, and the consequent
killing OF helpless men, women and
children, entities any power or al
lance of powers to preferential treat
ment at the hands of a civilized ma
ton. Some significance may attach
to the note in view of the fact that be-
fore dispatching it to the British en-
bassy Minister Bower was in confer
ence with Secretary Hay.
Whether the allies will accept as
final what Mr.. Bowen has had to say
or will assume a conciliatory attitude
and ask, as has been suggested both
by Mr.. Bowen and the representatives
OF the allies in this city, for preferen-
tial treatment for a limited period, no
one in Washington feels competent to
predict. The position taken by Mr..
Bowen, 1t is stated, has received the
Endorsement Of all the unallied claim.
