Curious Error In the Italian Protocol Makes an Addendum Necessary. Carnegie Offered to Pay $36o,ooo
 Demanded By Germany.

Washington, February H.-Official mo- tice of the termination of the blockade of the Venezuelan ports. necessary to terminate the notice of blockade conveyed in the original proclamation. has reach ed the state department In the shape of a dispatch received from the United States embassy at London stating that the Brit ish foreign office had given 1t out that cablegram had been sent this morning to the British navar commander In Venezue- Ian waters to raise the blockade.
 At the conference at the British em- bassy this afternoon, which occurred at 8 o'clock. another important addendum was signed to clear up article fose in the Italian protocol. By curious efror this article provides that the Venezuelan gov ernment "obligate themselves to assign to the Italian government. commencing the first day of March. 1903. for this pur- pose, and to alenate to no other purpose, 30 per cent of the customs revenues of La Guayra and Puerto Cabello.
 Had this provision stood unamended the Italian government would have been entitled to the entire thirty per cent in- stead of sharing it with the other allies as was intended. Fortunately the mat ter was discovered in time to be correct ed before tk protocols were dispatched to the foreis efiis es of the allies. It was to clear up this point that the negotiators signed the following agreement this aft ernoon.
 The Agreement. we interpret our three protocols to mean that the 30 per cent referred to therein of the total income of the cus- toms houses at La Guaira and Puerto Cabello, shall be delivered to the repre- sentative of the Bank of England at Caracas and that said 30 per cent Is not assigned to any one power, but Is to be retained by said representative of the Bank of England in Caracas and paid out by him In conformity with the decision rendered by the tribunal at The Hague"
 Cablegrams have been pouring in upon MT. Bowen from Venezuela congratulate ing him upon the success of his mission. The first to arrive was one from Presi- dent Castro Consul Devries cabled:
 Hearty congratulations" from Mara caibo. Leading German and British bus mess firms in Caracas have sent con- gratulatory telegrams.
 It is not expected that the set of pro- tocols providing for the reference of the preferential questions to The Hague will be taken up until the middle of next week.
