"New York, March 81. Secretary
of State Root today, transmitted to
congress -all the correspondence ot
an official nature bearing on the
American claim against the Venei
tielan. gorernment In the famous
asphalt claims. Drastic action, and
possibly the dispatching of a puni
tlT expedition against President
Castro and his government Is expect
ed to follow.
Consideration ot the correspond
ence wlll ;probahly be taken up by
congress at once. 'Five claims
against the - Veneiuelan government
are involved. The most Important
of these Is that of the New York &
Bermudese company. . All are la
connection with the asphalt deposits
and the grants of . thm made by
Castro. ; - - -
Th mot' direct light thrown on tho
controveray la contained la the report
of , Special Commissioner W. X Calhoun,
who charges that after dispossesses
the New York and Bermudese company
on a trumped up charge of having vio
lated Its contract, Castro seised the de
posits and taking advantage ot the val-
uable Improvements made on them by
the company and using the company's
machinery, installed a force and is now
working them for the gorernment's own
benefit, that is, Castro's benefit
In doing this Castro ignored a grant
which he bad personally made to the
officers of the company, the validity of
Which remains to be adjudicated.
Commissioner Calhoun holds that the
assessment ot f 10.000.000 damages
against the company , made , by Castro's
coerced supreme court on the charge

its contracts and had lent

whatever faults the. companies may

they have never had an honest hearing.
At a special meeting of the cabinet

all Veneiuelan ports will be discussed.

Meaning of
Roofs Message
(Special Dispatch te The tonal.)
Washington, March II. The
meaning of Secretary Roofs cor
. spondence transmitted "to con
gress today, bearing on the Ven
eiuelan situation, is that the Uni
ted States will take action
against Castro by blockading La
Ouayra, the entry port to Cara
cas. The commerce of Venesue
la will be levied upon until the
amount due the asphalt corpor
ation fop damages la collected.
It Is probable, at the same time,
that a severe reprimand will be
administered the corporation for
certain weaknesses In Us claims
for retribution. The government
will act entirely upon the merits
of the Investigation of Special
Commissioner Calhoun which
deals with the rottenness ot the
Venesuelan courts and the re
peated effort 'of the Castro gov
ernment to give Americans doing
business In that . oountry the
worst of all transactions- with

What B said to have been the final

Madame Anna Gould is on the verge

anticipated the action her brothers,
George and Edwin, : and sister, Helen
Gould, would take in the matter, for

Washington, March SI. -The
nomination of Dr. David Jayne nil
to , be United; State ambassador to
Germany . was seat to the senate bu
President Roosevelt this afternoon.
It was announced at the White
House today, that the resignation of
Charlemagne Tower as ambassador
to Germany had been, accepted and
will take effect June 1.
Ambassador Tower's resignation
is believed to have been . forced by
his letter to President Roosevelt in
which he skid that Hill's appoint
ment would not be satisfactory to
the kaiser. This was indignantly
denied by the German emperor, who
declared he had no objections to the
proposed successor to Tower.
Hill's nomination will go to the for
elan affairs committee, and before it
is reported back to the senate the en
tire Hill-Tower Incident will be threshed
