CARACAS. Jan. 31.-An the newspapers
OF Caracas have published articles to the
effect that the action Of the allies in i'm
posing upon Venezuela special preferential
treatment I'm the settlement of their own
claims is on a par with all their previous
acts since the beginning of the present diff
ficulty, namely, unjust and unreasonable.
The correspondent OF the Associated
Press to-day asked the members of the
diplomatic corps in Caracas for their
opinion on this phase of the matter. Two
declined to speak. but third was willing
to discuss the matter for publication, pro-
vided his name was not used. He said:
THE action of Great Britain, Germany
and Italy in trying TO impose favored treat
ment for their claims, and In demanding an
immediate cash payment arises from the
fact that they know their claims are not
well founded. My colleague. Minister Hag
gard, of Great Britain, before his depart
urs, presented claims to the Venezuelan
government on behalf of Great Britain to
the amount of only 5000. The remainder

these vessels have been rightfully seized
by Venezuela. Great Britain was sure be-
foretand that no tribunal would recognize
certain OF her claims, and therefore she
wanted to force immediate payment.
Germany, for the same reason, does not
desire the Disconto- Geschellshaft loan scan-
dal TO become known to the financial world.
The Italians have no Industrial enter

mostly agricultural laborers and peddlers;

the old creek bed and ditch that

straight chute under the bridge,
After said ditch had been cut, not

land had given their consent, yet

whereupon said court did pay
twenty-five dollars for little bend
