BRITISH-VENEZUELAN MINISTER
ARRAlGNS BOWEN.
IN A LETTER TO ENGLAND
Says He Placed Too Much Faith in
United States representatives.
Bowen and His Assistants "Had 1t
in" for English Ennbassy-Englsh
Biuebook of Dispute.

London, Feb. 1.-THE blue book on
the Venezuelan dispute was issued
last evening. The most interesting
dispatch in the look from the Amer
lean pOlOnt of view is the official let
ter from the former British minister
at Caracas, w. H. D. Haggard, to For
eign Minister LansdOWne, dated Trini-
dad, Dec. 80, concerning the alleged IL
legal detention of the British schoon-
er Harry Troop by the Venezuelan
government in an unhealthy place
from May to November, 1902, where
by the crew was decimated by dysen-
terry. Haggard says:
81 regret to say it would appear that
l placed too much faith in the COM
plete accuracy of the statement of the
secretary of the United States lega-
ton, w. w RUSSELL as to the i'm
provement in the condition of the Har
ry Troop, etc., when he saw her.
These statements may probably be
accounted for by the facts, which ap-
pear undOubted, that Mr.. Bowen was
most anxious for reasons best known
to himself, to represent the conduct
of the Venezuelan authorities in the
most favorable light possible and that
he inspired his subordinates in the
same direction. Russell did not dare
to say word outside of the legation
contrary to President Castro's mode of
the proceeding"
Compliment to WiIheImina.
Washington, Feb. 17.-Queen Viii
helmina of the Netherlands may be
required by the Washington govern
ment to name an umpire who shall
pass on the claim of the United States
against Venezuela in the event that
the persons named cannot agree.
The selection of Wilhelmina is sug-
gested by Bowen and it is probable
that the protocols soon to be signed
by Messrs. Hay and Bowen will pro-
vide that the queen shall name an UNI
pire in the event of disagreement.
This is intended as a compliment to
the sovereign of the country at which
whose capital The Hagaue tribunal
sits.
Great Britain, Germany and Italy in
their protocols provide that the king
of Spain shall name an umpire.
Castro now After Rebels.
Caracas, Feb. 1.-THE Venezuelan
gunboat Miranda, which the German
warships tried to capture in Lake Mar
acaibo and which was the cause of the
Smelling of Fort San Carlos by the
German vessels, sailed yesterday af-
ternoon with 1900 men and 100000
rounds of cartridges on board for a
destination believed to be Tucacas,
where troops and munitions will be
landed to aid the government in crush
ing the revolution.
