BERLIN, Jan. 26.—It is confirmed here that Germany has agreed to raiso the Venezuelan blockade as soon as the de- tails of a settlement, now tacitly agreed upon at Washington, are definitely fixed, A lively exchange of telegrams oc- curred between Germany and Great Britain on Saturday before the accep- tances of Mr. Bowen's propositions as cabled from Washington, [1 is ex- plained that Great Britain's acceptance | was forwarded to Washington first, be- | cause Mr. Bowen submitted his pro- Doral to Ambassador Herbert befor seeing int Quadt, the German Charge q'Affaires, Italy's attitude is to accept any ar- rangement agreeable to Great Britain und Germany. So soon as the guarantee for the pay- ment of the first grade claims is dis- posed of the negotiations for the set- tlement of the remainder will proceed with each power independently. The alliance between Great Britain and Germany may be considered to have been definitely ended so soon as the guarantee is signed and the conse- quent raising of the blockade occurs.

In their declarations the representa- tives of the Europeans powers promised to consent to the tmmediate raising of the blockade as soon as an agreement fs concluded between them and Mr, Bowen embodying the conditions iad down by the powers. These conditions chiefly relate to the Ruarantees to be furnished by Venezu- ela. which has offered a portion of the customs revenues of La Guayra and Porto Cabello. It was learned further that both Great Britain and Germany have |n- formed vhelr representatives at Wash- ington that they consider Minister Bowen's proposals regarding Venezue- ja’s guarantees to form a satisfactory basis for further negotiations, New York Bankers Involved. In addition to the offer of part of the @ustoms of 1a Guayra and Porto Ca- bello as a guarantee, Mr. Bowen Sn- formed the powers that several New Xork banks had expressed their willing- eas to undertake the payment of wh first claims demanded by the powers upon the basis of such guarantee, Mr, Bowen did not say whether he had mare @ definite arrangement with uny par ticular banks, but as soon as the powers hear of the consent of rellable houses to guarantee the payment of the first elaims the blockude will be raised. ‘nis 4g expected to be within two or throo ‘the event of this ar ing concluded {t 1s suppo customs of the two ports mention will be administered jointly by repre sentatives of the powers und’ of the ‘banks concerned, Seen End of Blockade.

Justice Lev- jentritt heard the arguments on the per- emptory writ of mandamus secured by Peter J. Garvey, Chatrman of the Tam- | many General Committee of the Ninth | Assembly District, to compel Tammany to admit Garvey and his associates. When the came to argument the Lammany Hall lawyers admitted that Garvey and the other members of the General Committee were entitled to ad mission, but held that the Hxecutive | Committee, being a body chosen outside of the regular election machinery, had the power to relect any man chosen as member by a majority vote. No Wight to Debar Him, Justice Leventritt demolishes | contention. He holds that the G Committee of each di own member of the mittee, and that the other members of the- Executive Committee bave no right to debar a man so elected. | “1 allow the peremptory writ of man- |damus asked for by ithe petitioner, this |Peter J. Garvey,” says Justice Ie ven ltritt in his petition, ‘as a strict legal | | right.” { Justice Leventritt say's that the act ot the General Committee in changing the rules so as to debar Garvey andj the other members from the Ninth was | iNegal tnasmuch as no reasonable no- of the change was given as the ry laws provide, In addition, he says, the movement was directed aty the Ninth Assembly District and that ‘this discrimination alone would te | the action of the General Committee. ‘The Court announces that the debar- ring of Devery’s General Committee Was in effect a disfranchisement of the voters of the Ninth Assembly District and illegal, “Political committees," continues Jus: tice Leventritt, “are under the control and mandates of statutes, ‘They re-| quire that in party matters the voters, | through their representatives, whether one or two degrees removed, shall ex- bess their wishes.
