Berlin. Feb. 6.--Chancellor Won Bue-
low reviewing the political situation In
the reichstag said: II showed sufl-
GENTLY six years ago that l am far re-
moved from a policy OF adventure. The
Samoan question was settled TO general
satisfaction We came out Of the Chi
nese action with undiminished power,
ir oil honor and with a strengthened
position in east Asia. In Venezuela we
move on precisely the same lines with
England and Italy, upon the path Of
thoughtfulness We only want 10 se-
cure the lives and property and trade
Of our people there. In our foreign
policy | try to take the middle course
between the left party and Prof. Hasse,
Che Pan-German leader. / am far
from following parish politics whereby
our paths will be undermined, but I am
Just as far from a policy which would
extend our sphere Of action excessively
ana which would be dependent upon
ebullition Of feelings instead Of being
fixed by the well considered, plainest
interests OF the German people"

Washington, Feb. 6.--Conhrmatlon Of
the London dispatch Of yesterday to
the effect that Mr.. Bowen and the
British ambassador, at their interview
Monday, had somewhat heated ar
gument, was obtained here today. In
deed, II is stated that should the char
acter of the cablegrams that the Brit
ish ambassador has been sending to
MS government regarding the attitude
Of Minister Bowen become public, the
country would be furnished with sem
satlonal diplomatic incidents.
II Is the opinion OF the Venezuelan
negotiators, other than the British am
bassador that the latter ia directly re-
sponslble for the abrupt breaking off
Of negotiations with Mr.. Bowen. II Is
the opinion in official circles here that
Minister Bowen has an absolute right,
acting for Venezuela of course to OBJ
1ect to President Roosevelt's acting as
arbitrator. To do so would cause pain
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 an Ameri-
can, but as a representative OF Vene-
zuela. The British ambassadors con-
duct has resulted in several important
details Of the momentous conference of
Monday last leaking out, and these are
now substantlated by the other nego-
liators present 1t seems that when
the British ambassador who took the
lead at this conference. had finished
reading the cablegram OF Lord Lans-
downe containing his last proposition
for 20 and 10 per cent division of the
customs receipts OF Porto Cabello and
La Guayra between the allies and the
other claimant nations respectively, 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 al
lance one day longer than he was
forced to. A diplomat stated after.
wards:
1T was Mr.. Bowen who exploded
the bombshell the moment the propo-
sitlon was made"
Charges that Great Britain was en-
deavoring secretly to continue her alli-
ance with Germany were resented by
the British ambassador, though ne
showed no III feeling at the conference.
After the conference II Is said he sent
a cablegram TO London stating that he
was displeased with the conduct OF Mr..
Bowen and thar II It were left to him
TO decide he would not continue nego-
tlations with him. He expressed To
his conferees OF the diplomatic corps
the greatest indignation that an am
bassador from the court of st. James
should be so treated on the other hand
both the Italian ambassador and Ger
man minister have taken occasion 10
say several times since the Monday con-
ference that Mr.. Bowen has treated all
the negotiators with uniform courtesy
and surprising generosity throughout
the negotiations and only yesterday
both OF these diplomats called and ex-
pressed thanks for his consideration OF
them. Mr.. Bowen must stand up for
venezuela. II was explained. III he did
not he would forfeit our respect"
