LONDON, February 6.-The announces
ment from Washington that the United

fact that there are already a number Of

opinion has been asked he has expressed 1t

portant details of the momentous conference
of Monday last leaking out. 1t seems that
when the British ambassador, who took the
lead at that conference, had finished read
ing the cablegram Of Lord Lansdowne con-
tanning his latest proposition for a 20 and 10
per cent division of the receipts of Porto
Cabello and La Guaira between the allies
and the other claimant nations, respective
ly. Mr.. Bowen at once remarked in an en-
phatic tone that the proposition was but
another scheme to trick Venezuela into
abetting an alliance against her for six
years and probably longer.
He added that he would not consent to
any scheme for continuing the triple alliance
one day longer than he was forced to. A
diplomat stated afterward, 1T was Mr..
Bowen who exploded the bombshell the mo-
ment the proposition was made
Charges that Great Britain was endeavor-
ing secretly to continue her alliance with
Germany were resented by the British am
bassador, though he showed no angry feel
ing at the conference. After the conference
the British ambassador sent a cablegram
to London stating that he was displeased
with the conduct of Mr.. Bowen and that II
it were left to him to decide he would not
continue negotiations with him. He ex-
pressed to his confreres of the diplomatic
corps the indignation that an ambassador
from the court of st. James should be so
treated: 1t is probably only fair to state
the attitude of the German envoy and the
Italian ambassador regarding Mr.. Bowen's
treatment of them. Both have taken occa-
sion to state several times since the confer
ence that he has treated the negotiators
with uniform courtesy and surprising gen.
erosity throughout the negotiations, and
only yesterday both of those diplomats
called and expressed their thanks for his
consideration.
Landsdowne's Alleged Message.
Another feature of the last twenty-four
hours has been the receipt at the British
embassy Of an exceedingly curt note from
Lord Landsdowne. The purport of this
note has become known throughout the
diplomatic corps and the London govern
ment Is being severely criticised for send
ing such a dictatorial message to its am
bassador. The cablegram, it is stated,
reminded the British ambassador that he
was here to obey orders.
Some officials hold that Minister Bowen
has an absolute right. acting for Vene-
zuela, of course, to object to President
Roosevelts acting as arbiter To do so
would, Of course, cause great regret to
Mr.. Bowen, whose admiration for Mr..
Roosevelt is well known, but he feels
obliged to keep we'll in mind the fact that
he is here, not as a United States official,
but as representative of Venezuela.
