cAsTRo's LATEST TROUBLE.
Venezuelan President Threatened ts
 Give Bowen His Passports.

Give Bowen His Passports.
 Correspondence of Associated Press.)
 Caracas, Venez., Jan. 1S.-With the beginning of the new year the situa- tion was so tense that 1t was regarded with apprehension in circles acquainted with the policies of President Castro. It is said on undoubted authority that Castro contemplated hastening what he felt to be a crisis by giving Minister Bowen his passports.
 He was deterred by report that the minister would not accept. them. It was in this acute situation that some of Castro's closest advisers persuaded him to make overtures to Minister Bowen who acknowledged them by sug- gesting that Castro might be able to settle his difficulties with the foreign powers by proposing to submit all dis puted claims to arbitration; to make a permanent arbitration treaty: to pay the fixed sum of five million bolivars yearly instead of the uncertain 30 per cent of the customs revenues which would yield this year only about three million bolivars and to continue after paving of the alleged peace powers the same sum to the German and British bondhonders.
 Castro accepted these ideas. but said that he would not consent to arbitrate any but American disputed claims un- less the American Government urged him to do so in a very decided tone. The proposed settlel9ent is regarded here as of great importance in assur- mig peace and preventing possible com pIications which might involve the Monroe doctrine.
