Tills information was convoyed to Mr. Bowcn Wednesday by Baron von Sternberg. Mr. Bowen immediately refused to yield tho receipts of any port prior to The Hague decision, but loft tho mat tor of a cash paymont to the German minister to determine. "if Gormnny can afford to confess that it does not stand by. agreements Bigncd by Its duly accredited diplo mats," replied Mr. Bowcn, "I nm will ing to guarantee payment on the day tho protocol is signed of the total amount asked in tho original ultima tum." That response has been cabled to tho Germnn foreign office. Groat Britain and Italy have re nounced any responsibility for tho ac tion of Germany nnd have informed Mr. Bowen that they will stand by all agreements mado with him and will not bo Influenced by tho action of Ger many. With tho exception of the demand for an Increased ensh payment tho Ger man protocol, in all essential respects, conforms to thnt of Great Britain, but is more concise. All threo pro tocols provide for tho Immediate re turn of all vessels seized by tho block ading ships. It Is stated that tho action of Gor many In asking for $340,000 instead of contenting Itself with 5,500, 1b duo to a misunderstanding of certnln steps In tho negotiation which had been passed on by Count von Quadt before tho arrival of Baron von Sternberg. In tho orlgtnnl ultimatum addressed to Venezuela by tho three govern ments 15,300 bolivars was demanded by Great Britain and Germany and 2,500,000 bolivars by Italy. A paper was signed at tho British embassy by tho three representatives of tho allies, the British and Italian ambassador and the German charge, Count Quadt, and by Mr. Bowen, by which the allied powers agreed to ac cept a cash payment, or an adequate guaranty for the eventual satisfaction of their claims, ns a condition prece dent to the raising of tho blockade. Mr. Bowen offered 30 per oont of tho customs receipts of Puerto Cabello and La Guayra as a guaranty for tho payment "of all claims." Later ho consented to give tho British govern ment 5,500 cash in view or their con tention that they desired immediate satisfaction for outrages committed on British subjects. No objection was made at tho time by tho Italian ambas sador or the German charge. Tho threo powers accepted tho guaranty offered ns entirely satisfactory.
