Washington, Feb. 1s.-In diplomatic cir cles and among State Department offi- cials considerable attention is being paid to the provisions of the third set of The Hague protocols, which will have to do exclusively with the setting in motion of the tribunals cumbersome machinery.
 These protocols in addition to defining the scope of the arbitration also will stipulate the number of arbitrators to be selected. In order that Venezuela may go to The Hague on the same footing as the peace powers having claims against her, 1t is expected the rough draft of The Hague protocol will be decided upon at a joint conference between Mir. Bowen and the representatives here of the powers. Secretary Hay will represent the United States at this conference and 1t Is the wish of the other representatives that he shall preside. This meeting will not be called until all of the second set of pro- tocols have been signed.
 Mir. Bowen this afternoon called upon the representatives of the peace powers here, the Mexican and French ambassa- dors, the ministers from Sweden and Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Bel gium and Spain. to inform them formally of the signing of the American-Vene- zuelan protocol. With each envoy a copy of the American protocol was left, MT. Bowen stating that Venezuela desired that the remaining protocols should in all es- sential details conform to it. In sub stance this protocol already has been cabled to the various foreign offices and the latter will instruct their representa- lives here what steps are to be taken to- ward the drafting of similar conventions.
 In the signing of the other protocols diplomatic precedence will be abandoned for the rule of MT. Bowen first come first served" but in any event 1t is ex- pected several days will elapse before any one of the peace powers is ready to sign it's protocol
