Appeal to Protect American Lives and Pro-
perty Endangered in Venezuela
(By the Associated Prces.) }

New York. Dec. ia cablegram re-
ceived this afternoon by Vice President
A. d. Andrews. of the National Asphalt
Company from Caracas Venezuela. con
corning the revolution which has broken
out in Venezuela, asserts that the situa-
ton is extremely desperate as regards
Americans and their property in the
South American republic. The message
is urgent in its appeal for immediate ac-
ton by the United States for the protec-
ton CT Americans whose lives and prop
critics are imminently endangered. A
general attack. the cablegram says. is
being planned upon all American inter
ests. in Venezuela, and If succor, in the
prompt dispatch of warships by the
United States Government is not forth
coming at once the results may prove
disastrous
The cablegram says the revolution has
been engendered by the fight between
the National Ashphalt Company and it's
rivals Tor the possession Of the Bermu-
dcs asphalt lake. The lake is situated
70 miles from the coast CT Venezuela and
contains extensive and rich deposits of
asphalt. 1t has been in the possession of
the National Asphalt Company or its con-
stituent company, the New York and Ber-
nudes Company for over IL years
The companys concessions to operate
the lake were cancelled by President
Castro and his council on December 18th
The concession TO operate the concession
known as la Felicidad" was then award
ed to a rival syndicate which carries the
alleged right TO work a tract OF one
thousand acres, which comprises about
two-thirds Of the lake. This tract the
National Asphalt Company claims as its
exclusive property.
The concession which was firsr granted
in 1897, was appealed by the National
Asphalt Company and a decision rendered
in is favor This decision has been up
set b. President Castro and his council.
La Felicidad" is said 70 be now worth
twenty times its alleged purchase Price of
$40 coo.
