FRENCH CLAIMS CLASSIFIED.
The Thirteen Per Cent of Custom Dues
Levied Only on Swiss Decision.

Paris Feb 2-The officials here continue
hopeful of an adjustment of the difficulties IN
the Venezuelan negotiations. They say the de-
laws are largely due to MISUNDERSTANDING
among the powers concerning the different
classes of claims. 1t explained that the
French claims on which Venezuela conceded 10
per cent of her customs receipts, were those ar
bitrated by the President of Switzerland
amounting to a total of SS6o,O0- Several install
ments have been paid but five remain unpaid
The French officials say Great Britain and Ger
mf nv have heretofore given categorical recogn1-
tion of this settlement. so that it will not be
questioned
The second class of the French claims covers
the period prior to 1899. not covered by the
previous Swiss arbitration These are now be
fore the arbitrators who meeting at Caracas.
The claims total S11 100000. but it is expected
that the arbftrators will reduce this amount
The latter claims not secured by the Gus
toms guarantee of Is per cent, which appileS
ONLY to the Swiss arbitration amount
There is still third class OF trencn c!alms'
for the revolutionary period after 1893 These
also are not secured by the customs The
French officials say the allies have repeatedly
recognized French priority on the Is per cent
of the customs until the remaining instalments
of the claims decided in Switzerland are paid
on the last two classes 1t is stated that France
does not expect priority or a separate fund or
13 ner cent but desires settlement on equal
terms with the other powers

GEN. CHAFFEE sHABBILy TREATED.
Discourtesy Said to Have Been Shown by the
Governor of Georgia at Fort Mcpherson.
ley TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Washington. Feb 2.-Considerable comment is
being caused in military circles by the reported
shabby treatment of Major General A. r. Chaffee
while visiting Fort Mcpherson. near Atlanta. Ga.
General Chafee had been making an inspection of
the military garrisons in the South and was in
vited to attend public reception which was held
under the auspices of the Governor of the State
and the Mayor of the city.
A local political fight mixed up in the pre-
lininary arrangement to such extent that the
army officers Fort Mcpherson are highly in
censed over the discOurtesy to which General
Chaffee was submitted. He and officer of his
staff went in uniform to the appointed place at
Atlanta and found only three members of
the reception committee in attendance The Gov
ernor did not appear until after 10 o'clock at night
situation was most embarrassing, and the army
officers in section felt that General Chaffee
was rather shabbily treated. General Chaffee him
self is reported maintaining dignifed silence
and as giving no other sign OF his recognition of
the peculiar situation beyond the fact that when
the Governor finally appeared and advanced to
meet General Chaffee the latter greeted him with
a formal nod and turned his back the chief
executive Of the State. resuming his conversation
General Chaffee returned to Fort Mcpherson. A
report of the incident cached Washington in pri-
vate letters and has created considerable com

On charges of violating the postal laws and
in connection with a so-caIled wheat syndicate,
through the operations of which it is asserted
that a subscriber may make profit of $500 in
thirty days time an investment of $50, four
men were arrested yesterday and locked up at
Police Headquarters.
The prisoners described themselves as Fernan-

Detectives making the arrests also obtained
a hundred or more circulars setting forth the
merits of the syndicate; confscated something
like thousand letters. of which about half
they assert contained complaints from the sub
scribers to the syndicate that they had received
no profits from their investment, and the books
of the concern.
The operations of the so-called syndicate
were brought to the attention of Police Com
missioner Greene some days ago in a letter of
complaint he received. He referred the case
to ex-Police Captain Dooey. then of the Old
Slip precinct and asked investigation
Dooley looked into the dealings of the con-
cern secured some of their circulars and asked
the opinion of an official of the Produce Ex-
change. This official. the detectives say,
stamped the deal as a "swindle.' Captain
DooIey then reported to the Commissioner who
placed the case in the hands of the Detective
Bureau. Further advice sought from the
postal authorities. and yesterday the arrests
were made The police assert that the syndi-
cate has been in operation something over
three months that its hackers have advertised
extensively in Western newspapers. and that
they believe the subscribers to the concern have
lost during that time al least $4,000
After the prisoners had been taken to Head
quarters their pedgrees taken and they had
been locked up. the detectives sent for Chief
Postal Inspector Thorpe, and Chief Assistant
Little. The detectives said the prisoners prob
ably would be turned to-day to the federal
authorities None of the prisoners sent for
counsel. Fales asked for messenger and sent
to W A. Mcdonald to secure bail for him. Up
to midnight no had appeared at Headquar-
ters 10 bail any of the prisoners.

oBy The Associated Press)

Washington Feb. 2-Herbert W. Bowen Ven
ezuea's representative in the negotiations at
Washington for a settlement of the cialnhs
against that country, has sent through the
British Ambassador here what amounts prac-
ticaIlv to an uItimatum to the allied powers
of Great Britain, Germany and Italy regard
ing their nsistence for preferential treatment III
the settlement of their claims against ven
ezuela This note which the british Am
bassador received shortly before O'Clock to-
night was cabled at to London, copies of
it being sent to the Italian and German en-
basses for transmission to Rome and Berlin 1t
is in reply to the proposition submitted at
joint conference of the negotators this after
noon by the British Ambassador that the allied
powers receive two-thirds of 80 per cent of the
customs receipts of the ports of La Guayra and
Porto Cabello and that the United States and
the other claimant nations, France, Belgium,
Holland, Denmark, Spain and Norway and
Sweden. content themselves with the remaining
third of this percentage-that is 10 per cent
of the receipts of these two ports
In the note received by the British Ambassa-
dor from Mr.. Bowen tonight the latter refuses
point blank the proposition for 20 and 10 per
cent division on the ground that to recognize
the principle it embodies would be absolutely
offensive to modern civilization In view of the
fact that the negotiators agreed on all ex-
cept the question of preferential treatment. the
ambassador is informed that Venezuela has
decided to submit that question to The Hague
arbitration tribunal Acceptance Of this propo-
stion Venezuela contends, carries with it the
raising of the blockade. the general understand
ing being that the blockade would end when the
negotiators at Washington had reached an
agreement.
The British Ambassador declined tonight to
make public the text of the rote addressed to
him, it is really note 10 the allied powers
but ii became known that ii concluded with an
appeal for reference to The Hague tribunal and
an assertion that such action carried with IL
the raising of the blockade
Whether the allies VIII accept as final what
Mr. Bowen has had to say. or will assume
concfIiatory attitude and ask, as has been sug-
gested both by Mr. Bowen and by the repre-
sentatives of allies in this city, for prefer
entail treatment for limited period no one IN
Washington feels competent to predict The
position taken by Mr.. Bowen, it is said. has
received the Endorsement of all the unallied
claimant nations, in which number the United
States is included.
