REQUEST 70 RECALL LOOMS.
Report That the American Minister
Has Offended Venezuela.

NEW YORK, March 16--The Times"
this morning quotes "a man who is ia
miliar with Venezuelan matters and who
spoke freely concerning them yesterday
as confirming rUmoTs Of serious friction
between the Venezuelan Government and
United States Minister LOOMS He as
serts that the American Government has
been requested to recall Mr. Loomis
The iH-feeling has been engendered,
the Times informant says, mainly
through the incidents of the past few
months. known here as the asphalt war
the Castro Government claiming that Mr..
LcOInis interfered in that matter in the in
terest of the Asphalt Trust, and officially
misrepreseRted the facts to the State De-
partment, basing his statements upon the
ex-parte representations of the managing
director of the New York and Bermudez
Company, one OF the constituent members
of the trust. These official misrepresen-
tations came very near bringing about
rupture of friendly relations between the
two countries. with possible hostile dem
onstratiOns on the territory of Venezuela.
1t is contended by the Venezuelan Gov
eminent that the presence of a feet Of
American warships, which for weeks how
cred along the coasts of Venezuela, with
iii ats mat II tie u tDt4L - u Ni4t
mudez Company was in any Way disturb
ed. marines and bIuejackets would lie

citizens, was uncaile6 for and an unjust
aspersion upon the honor and dignity of
the High Federal Court. and further. that,
through the statements of Minister Loom
is, the asphalt case was pref sdiCed and
the world at large made to Believe that
no foreigner residing or doing business in
Venezuela was safeguarded in his prop
erty rights.
The Venezuelan Government felt that
it was its duty TO resent the actions of
Mr.. LOOMS. and after careful elaboration
it was decided that he was no longer per
soma grata- The Cabinet was at first di-
vided upon the course to pursue, some
advocating giving him his passports, but
the cooler heads argued that 10 pursue
such = drastic course might so infame
the American people that il would be
many years before diplomatic relations
would be resumed Therefore, 1t was de-
cided best to abandon that procedure and
to politely but firmly request that Mr..
