Washington, Feb. i3.-The probabil-
ity is that the protocols for the raising
of the blockade which was maintain
ed by England Germany and Italy
against Venezuela for more than a
month, will be signed by Minister
Bowen and the representatives of the
allied governments here late today. Ev-
cry indication points to that end. Min
lister Bowen had a conference with the
English and Italian ambassadors and
the German ministers regarding var
l0us features OF the protocols. with the
result that they are practically in final
shape The signing Of the protocols
will, il is expected be done at the Brit
ish embassy, as Il rs regarded rather
imprudent for Sir Michael Herbert TO
venture out on account of his Illness.
The protocols will provide for the
raising OF the blockade at once FOR a
cash payment Of e55OO Cs2I5OO) to
each OF the three allied governments
and for the payment to Germany OF
100. 600 bolivars in five instalments
less the c550O paid in cash The first
installment Of the i.7OO0 900 bolivars. or
S340,O00. Is 20 be paid on the 18th Of
March. The protocols also will pro-
vide for the reference Of the question
OF preferential treatment to The Hague,
although IL Is understood this feature
will be so worded as TO leave a loop
hole in the event it is desired 20 settle
the question without such reference.
