them to forego the embarrassment Of a

and instead of making known their wishes

protocol with Mr.. Bowen for reference
Of the case to The Hague. as suggested
by him in his note of last Monday. The

this effect, and the matter was discussed

be anticipa ted. the allies are willing to
Immediately prepare their case for The
Hague court of arbitration, the outlines
of which would be embodied in the pro-
tocol with Venezuela, and upon Minister
Bowen paying the cash promised the pro-

withdrawn.
These statements are all made on the
provision that the previous arrangements
between Mr. Bowen and the representa-
tives of the allies hold good and that no
new complications arise, such as further
demands on the part of Venezuela. So
far as known here. the only question
at issue is that Of treating the German,
British and Italian claims separately
from those of the other powers, and the
allies are now willing to leave it to The
Hague court of arbitration or to Mr..
Roosevelt whether they are all to share
in the 80 per cent Of the customs or
whether the other powers are to receive
additional proportions.

Story of the Heated Time Monday
Between British Minister and
Mr.. Bowen.

Washington, Feb. 6-Conhrmation of
the London dispatch of yesterday that Mr..
Bowen and the British ambassador at
their interview Monday had a somewhat
heated argument, was obtained here to-
day.
It is stated that should the character
of the cablegrams that the British am
bassador has been sending to his govern
ment regarding the attitude Of Minister
Bowen, become public the country would
be furnished with sensational diplomatic
incidents. T-..-...
1t is the opinion Of the Venezuelan ne
gotiators other than the British ambas-
sador that the latter is directly respon-
sible for the abrupt breaking off OF nego-
tiations with Mr.. Bowen.
1t is also the opinion in official circles
that Minister Bowen has an absolute
right. acting for Venezuela of course, tc
object to President Roosevelt as arbitrator
To do so would cause pain to Mr.. Bowen
whose admiration for Mr.. Roosevelt Is
well known, but he is obliged to keep vel
in mind the fact that he is here not as ar
American. but as representative OF
Venezuela. . -.-
The British ambassadors conduct has
resulted in several important details Of the
momentous conference. Of Monday last
