THE PROTOCOL SIGNED.
Differences Between Venezuela and
Powers Referred to Hague. %
BLOCKADE DECLARED AT AN END,
Minister Bowen as the Repres
entative of Venezuela Has
Ably Discharged a Diffi
cult and Delicate
Task, ?
Washington, Feb. 13.?Herbert W.
Bowen, Veneuzela's representative in
the peace negotiations at Washington,
tonight signed with each of the*allies'
] ie}areeentatives here a protocol pro
Tiding for the immediate raising of the
Veneuzelan blockade and for the re
ference of the question of preferential
treatment of -the claims of the allies
against Venezuela to The Hague ar
bitration tribunal. The final formali
ties occurred at the British embassy.
At 1L20 o'clock tonight Mr. Herbert
Deering, first secretary* of the British
embassy, announced to The Associated
JPress that the British protocol had
.'just been signed and that signature of
I the Italian and German protocols would
follow in the order named.
' The Italian protocol was singed at
11.50 and the German protocol at 12.10
o'clock, the presence of Baron Stern
. berg at the White House musicale
delaying a final close to the negotia
tions until after midnight
Mr. Bowen signed a duplicate for
Venezuela, Sir Michael Herberrfor
Great Britain, Signor Mayor des
Planches for Italy and Baron Spec
Ton Sternberg ? for Germany. Im
mediately on ' the -s?gningt^pf th last
protocol cables were dispatched to
j London, Berlin and Borne announcing
the fact It is exepcted that the com
manders of the blockading feet within
the next 24 hours will recieve their
orders to withdraw their vessels at
once.
By the provisions of these prelminary
protocols,- which have required more
than three weeks of constant negotia
tions, Venezuela makes two distinct
-gains, the immediate raising of a
blockade from which she has been
suffering for some weeks and the re
* turn of all the vessels, war and mer^
chant, which have been captured by
the allied fleet.
Great Britain, Germany and Italy
receive' advance payments of five,
thousand % five hundred pounds each,
Great Britain recieving her pay
ment on the signature of tbe protocol
'and Germany and Italy within 30 or 60
days from date. Germany, in addition,
will receive five monthly installments
until the full amount paid here in ad
vance aggregates $340,COO. As- a
guaranty for the satisfaction of ijeir
claims Mr. Bowen pledges the allies to
share with the other creidtor nations
in 30 per cent of the customs of the
two post of La Gaayra and" Puerto ?
Cabello. This percentage will be set
aside beginning March 1 and retained
in the Venezuelan treasury until The
Hague tribunal decides whether it
shall be distributed without prefer
ence among all the claimant nations, or
whether tfie allied powers of Great
Britain, Germany and Italy shall re
ceive preferential payments.
Italy by her protocol gains immedi
a& payments , of her first class of
claims, without further adjudication,
as 309n as the point passed on the
remainder of her claims. In round
numbers the adjudicated Italian claims
amount to $560,000; from which will be
subtracted $27,500 to be paid her sixty
days from the signature of her first
protocol.
The protocols in providing for refer
ence of the question of preferential
treatment to The Hague do net state
in detail the methods of procedure Dy
which the case is to be laid before the
tribunal. This will be done in second
set of protocols, the preparation of
which will begin at once.
Upon the signing of the protocols to
night congratulations were exchanged
by the four negotiators. Mr. Bowen
then dispatched a brief^ cablegram to
President Castro informing him of
the signature ^pf the protocols pro
viding for the immediate raising of
the blockacfe.
ISatxtTo'n Monument to Washington.
Amon? the many monuments, to
Washington is the one which every vis
itor to the Cape Verde islands will re- j
member as one of the most colossal and
marvelous freaks of natura?*culpture
in existence. Along the farther side of
the harbor of San Vicente, tue principal
town, rises a bold ridge of dark gray
volcanic recks, the crest of which forms
an exact likeness of our immortal
George, seemingly lying face upward,
ns if in a.peaceful sleep.;
The hero's large;' bold features, the
backward wave of the hair, his mass
ive shoulders and even the frill of the
shirt .front are all reproduced on a gi*
gantie scale with \\ enderful exactness.
The strange monument, sharply out
lined against the deep blue of tbe trop
ical sky, is one of the first objects that
meet one's eye in approaching the is
land. Its gigantic proportions, with
the boundless ocean for a background,
form a portrait wonderfully true to na
ture and overpowering in its magnifi
cence.

Paine's Celery
Compound
Bestows that Health and
Vigor that Makes Liv=
ing a Pleasure.
ir^you arc sick and out-of-sorts, it is in your
power to make yourself healthy, strong, and
happy.
There is not the slightest reason why you
should go through life feeiing sickly, miscral 1c,
languid, and melancholic. To be well and
strong, means happiness and true joy.
If you are sleepless, rheumatic, neuralgic,
dyspeptic, or have the shadows of disease
hovering over you; if you *are not as bright,
energetic, and strong as you were some weeks
age', the use of Paine's Celery Compound will
' tone up and fortify your whole system, cleanse
the blood, correct digestion, sharpen the
appetite, and conduce to restful sleep. Thous
ands once in a half-dead condition owe their
present good health to the use of Paine's
Celery Compound. Mr. Wm. S. Gibson, of
Pleasureville, Ky., who, through sickness and
suffering, was brought near the dark grave,,
writes as' follows, regarding his marvelous
cure:?
": I have been broken down in health and
strength, nervous system shattered, kidneys
out of ordei;, had nervous and trembling spells
off and on for the last ten years. I Have taken,
three bottles of your Paine's Celery Compound
and,*dl of the above-mentioned troubles have
left me, and I can now do a good day's work.
I go about my business all daylong and it
don't worry me, and I now feel better than I
have in ten years. I have a good appetite,
and can eat and get around on foot as active
i as when I was a boy. My age is 65 years."
