vale of month the Venezuelan arbi-
tration was resumed here. today BY
| general consent the counter case of
venezuela, which United States Minis
ter Eowen, through an oversight, failed
to deposit in time, was admitted and the
arguments commenced.
The Belgian agent, NJ. Woeste, con-
tested the right of the blockading pow
ers to demand preferential treatment
in the case of their claims against Ven
eZuela.
M. Woeste contended that the claim
of the blochades rested solely on the
employment of force, and said that the
conscience of mankind revolted at the
idea of a peace tribunal upholdng such
principles, as it would place might be-
fore right.
The blockaders claim that Venezuela
only consented to a diplomatic settle

ade, or the threats of war were I'M
founded, as prior to the termination of
Festivities Belgium had completed an
arrangement with Venezuela relative
