was received here of the reports from
Caracas to the effect that all barriers
in the way of settlement of the claims

used for this purpose. Minister Bowen
will be clothed with authority to rep
resent Venezuela as her commissioner
for the adjustment of all claims out of
hand without reference to The Hague
tribunal, or if this be found impossible,
then he is authorized to act for Vene
zuela in settling all points open to
controversy as far as possible and of
drafting the terms on which a final
and conclusive arbitration shall be
made by the international court at The
Hague.
Caracas, Venezuela.-It has been
learned from an authoritative source
that United States Minister Bowen has
received orders to leave Venezuela
next Thursday for Washington, where
he will present the Venezuelan case to
the commission. An American warship
will call for Mr.. Bowen at La Guaira.

documents that the Venezuelan case
may be ready for presentation.
