VENEZUELA TO Be
BROUGHT TO time.
Warship Ordered to Support Min
lister LOOmis in CphOlding
American Concessions.

WashinSton. Dec. co.-Jpon representa-
iions from Interested parties the State De
par,ment has requested the Navy Depart
ment to have an American war vessel re-
main for a time in Venezuelan waters 10
give support 70 any representations that
United States Minister Loomis may have
to make the Venezuelan Government in re-
spect TO the conflicting asphalt concessions
in that country.
When Mr.. Loomis was in Washington
last fall he conferred at length with the
State Department officials respecting some
Of the American concessions, notably these
aspheIt concessions. and what is known as
the Fairibault concession, which were
threatened with extinguishment on various
scores by the Venezuelan Government.
Where the issue was directly between the
cGncessonaries, and the Venezuelan Gov
crnment the matter was not difficult of
treatment. but where the contest was be-
tween several ConCessionaries the problem
was much more complicated.
Mr. I.oomis went back to Caracas with
the general instructions from the Depart
mert of State to exert all proper pressure
to secure American rights in that section.
But the complainan;s were first. for their
part to exhaust the regular judicial meth
DDS II they had grievances which coU,d
BE- brought before the Venezuelan courts
for hearing this course should be taken.
Therefore the placing of n warship to mis-
s,lpport il believed to be with the purpose
of terminating some of the many vexatous
delays which are often experienced in the
tribunals Of South American courts.
The vessel selected for this mission is the
historic Hartford. which. under command
of Captain Hawley, has been cruising in the
West Indies and In the Caribbean Sea with
a training crew aboard. She Is now at Ia
,;uavra Just where she is wanted to meet
the Minister'S demands.
