DIPLOMATS WHO ARE PARTICI-
PATING IN THE VENEZUELAN
NEGOTIATIONS.

~ ARIS. Jan. So-The ForeignE
~ IA Office here received to-day
~ lengthy official advices giving
~ details OF the rejection by the
- allies Of the proposal that
France and other countries
receive equal treatment in the Venezuelan
settlement. The French officials had not
doubted that equal treatment would be
recognized and this unexpected turn OF
events has caused much surprise and
concern. After comforting with those in
authority an official said that the French
position was based on two essential prin-
ciples.
The first is that a pacific settlement be
tween two sovereign nations is entitled
at least to equal treatment with a war
settlement. II not a precedent would be
established. the officials say. which would
be an incentive TO war. as countries first
adopting force In the collection Of claims
would have superior rights to those OBJ
serving the usual pacific means OF set
tlemert. The view Is strongly held here
that the United States, France and Bel
gium are in effect pacific allies, as they
did not resort to force against Venezuela.
The second principle Of the French po-
sition is that the French Venezuelan SET
tlement Is In the form Of a treaty, which
entities II 70 international recognition.
This was formally executed prior to the
adoption Of force by the allies and while
Venezuela retained full independence In
the exercise Of her sovereign right to
make a treaty. Therefore IL is maintain
ed that this antedates rights rising from
a resort to force. II is not insisted. how
ever. that this prior treaty settlement en-
titles France to priority in the division
of customs receipts. as the officials hold
that all the powers having claims should
receive equal treatment
1t was at first supposed that Great Brit
ain, Germany and Italy favored this
view, and that the opposition came from
the~persOnal attitude of their representa-
tives. But the latest advices indicate the
sympathetic attitude of the British En-
bassador at Washington. Sir Michael Her
bert; the German Charge. Count von
Quadt and the Italian ambassador, Sig
nor des Planches. who are restricted by
their instructions. Full recognition IS
given Of the evident fairness OF Minister
Bowen.

cupied chiefly with Foreign Minister Del
Casse's presentation of the state OF for

ezuelan situation was included, but the
Official statementsOf what occurred at the

OF dignified firmness, but there IS no sug-

3o.-An alliance of
eight countries to thwart an in
vasion of their rights as creditor
nations by the allied powers in the
Venezuelan difficulty is now a
possibility, as they are taking
firm stand against having their
claims showed to the rear
The action of Great Britain,
Germany and Italy in insisting on
preferential treatment has caused
a most serious discussion. The
United States, France, Belgium,
Denmark, Holland, Norway,
Sweden and Spain nay join in a
movement to offset she colnbina-
ton of debt-colls sing nations,
whose acts stili threaten the nego-
tiations and cause distrust and
concern in Europe.
If the air be not speedily
cleared there may be another ALI
ance as a foil to that put into ope-
ration by King Edward and En-
peror William.
DISCUSSION IN CABINET.
The Venezuelan question was
discussed in the Cabinet meeting
to-day and it may be stated that
some persons i'll the administra-
ton are apprehensive and dis
trustful of the ultimate designs of
the alliance and mystihed as to
the real reason the allies have III
bringing forward a claim for
preferential treatment, which is
distasteful to every other Govern
ment which has claims against
Venezuela. After talking with
the diplomatic representatives of
claimant nations outside of the
existing alliance, | can say that
their Governments resent the
efforts of the powers to gain fav-
cred treatment, and if the allied
powers force Bowen to yield to
their demand that the alliance be
favored, these Governments will
not blame Venezuela, but will vent
their displeasure probably in sharp
protests to the allies, who will
have thus forced Venezuela to re-
tract her promise that all claims
will be settled on an equal basis.
DIsTRUsT OF ENGLAND.
The belief that England, equal
ly with Germany, was influencing
the alliance in its efforts to obtain
favorable treatment, was ernpha-
sized to-day. Reports from Lon
don early III the week that the al
lance was sought by England,
followed as they are by the grow
ing belief here that England is the
power that is delaying and endan-
gering the negotiations, have
caused growth of English
sentiment.
Among officials here much of
the gain which England has made
in American friendship during the
last four years has been dissipated
by her course in the present crisis.
This belief prevails in the highest
administration circles.
The policy of the allied powers
is not based on the merits of the
controversy, as It is negotiated
here.
