BOWEN IS MASTER. His Boldness and Tact Have Astolsh ed the Capital. ..Washington, Feb, 10. All tho ljn ors of tho three-cornered illplonmilo battlo between the allies, Vsnssusla and President Roosevelt has been won by Harbor t Howen, who represents the South American republic In the nego tiations. Mr. Howen occupies a com nmndlug position todny In the ooutre versy. and his able handling of U'e points In dispute are the talk of the capital. His methods havo nstonlsuoi the representatives of Bnglnnd and Germany and haro fairly ouUlone fje proverbial American diplomacy by I luntnoss nnd boldnoes. While con ceding Its advantages, the foreign dip lomats are confessedly no match for the American in Ails particular field, ns Is shown by the fact that Sir MI chaol Herbert has gone far out of his way to mako amends to Mr. IJowon for tho Indirect nttempt lo carry the matter over his head to President Itoosovolt. There is every sign that tho allies are norvously confused nt the Uowen tactics and are beginning ovon to distrust each other. The Unit od States, It is apparent to every ono, has won a distinct triumph, which Is omphasized by President Koosove, 's refusal of the request of tho alllos to decido tho ono point on which the ne gotiators woro unnblo to agree that of preferential treatment for the block ading powers. The flnal negotiations, especially thoso roferrlng to profarrod paymonts, may go to tho Haguo tribu nal. The negotiations botween the al llos and Minister Dowen havo been re sumed in Intorost. It Is now plain to tho roprosontativos of tho allios that tho United Statos will not permit a much longor blockade of Venezuela. Castlo Hall Is tho leading Gc cigar of the year. C-tf.
