Berlin, Feb. 1.-THE government is
telegraphtng instructions today for the
raising of the blockade of the Vene.
zuelan coast Immediately.
These instructions may not reach
all the blockading vessels today, but
it is expected that the blockade will
be fully raised by tomorrow or Mon.
day, especially since Commodore
Scheder has been expecting such in.
stuctions and had arranged for their
prompt transmission.
Two memoranda explaining the pro
tocol were signed by Minister Bowen,
The text of the first is as follows:
"As the imperial German govern.
ment holds that the claims originat
ing from the Venezuelan civil wars
of 1898 to 1900 are no more apt to be
submitted to arbitration, the govern.
ment of Venezuelan has to acknowl.
edge at once these claims, amounting
to 1,718,815 bolivars, approximately
S325,000, and either to pay such
amount in cash without any delay or,
should this be impossible, to guaran.
tee the speedy payment of them by
guarantees which are deemed sufi.
cient by the imperial German govern.
ment."
The second explanatory document
reads:
"The conditions of the German gov.
ernment having been accepted, Mr..
Bowen as representative of the Vene.
zuelan government, will now have to
provide for the payment of the 1,718,.
815 bOlivars mentioned under number
one of the conditions, or give an ade,
quate guarantee for this amount.
Should Mr.. Bowen choose the latter
way, the guaranty Is to be specified
distinctly. For instance, in case OF
the guaranty being based on the Gus.
toms revenues, as suggested by Mr..
Bowen, it would be necessary to state
exactly in which way the payment is
to take place out of these revenues.
The guaranty will have to be given de
facto and without delay.
"In the event of the five drafts
handed to Baron speck Won Stern.

stipulated that Belgian customs off.
