son for what appears to be an arbi-

of Venezuela heretofore has upheld
the claims of the company to it's prop
critics. Following the notice of the &C.

securing an attachment against the
company with view, it was under
stood, of obtaining damages because of
aid alleged to have been given the
revolutionists, United States Minister
Bowen at Caracas, was instructed to
make full and complete report to the
state department of the various legal
steps taken by Venezuela, together
with such other information bearing on
the subject that may be available and
pertinent. His report is anxiously
awaited and on it will depend the
course to be taken by the United
States for the protection of the vested
rights of the company.
