SURPRISED At BOWEN'S REPORT.
Former Official of Asphalt Company Gives
Another Reason for Seizure.

former official of the New York and Bermudez
Asphalt Company said yesterday TO a Tribune re-
porter that he convinced, from private IN
formation. which he had received from Caracas
that the dispatch to The Tribune from that city
on June 90 that President Castro had determined
to have the company's concessions revoked because
OF information that the company had helped TO
promote the Matos rebellion. was absolutely cor
rect. 1T may be-" said the former official OF the
company, that in the suit begun against the COM
peny there is a claim that the company has not
carried out certain portions of it's concessions but
the main reason for the suit was information con-
veyed to Castro regarding the company's part in
aiding the rebels.
Il am surprised at the statement that Minister
Bowen has reported to Washington only The failure
10 carry out the terms of the concessions as a
cause Tor the action OF the court Caracas unless
II be that the reporting of the other cause of aC-
uon, lhcitlng rebellion would be supposed 70 act
as bar against protest by the State Department
at washington. surprised also that there
should he any protest by the British Minister nj
on the ground that such seizures would ipiper the
company ponds held in England. The bonds OF
the New-1ork and BermudeZ Company are All
owned by the New Trinidad Lake Asphalt Com
pany Limited, an English corpo ration, tina bonds
amounting to ESQ Qoe but all the shares of the Eng
lish company are owned and held by the General
Asphalt company of Philadelphia. New-Jersey
corporation; The bends, therefore, are really
owned In this country, while held in the name Of
the British government should interfere to protect
the bonds"

LARGE DEMAND FOR LINsEED OIL.
Sharp Advance in Prices-Varnish Makers
Making Heavy Purchases.

The large demand for linseed Of; has caused sew
eraI sharp advances n prices in the last two weeks
Varnish makers and other consumers are purchas-
ing heavily, and this is the primary cause OF the
advance There is another reason in the fact that
the acreage devoted to the cultivation Of faxseed
in the United States IN the present year is about
80 per cent less than the former. and unless the
average yield is much greater than that of last
year, the production Will not equal the demand.
which is about twenty-five million bushels year.
The decreased acreage in haxseed has been
caused by the higher prices ranging for wheat and
corn This caused that branch OF agriculture to
become profitable, and the farms which were
devoted to the cultivation OF faxseed have been
turned into wheat and corn fields There are large
stocks of faxseed at Duluth! the faXseed centre.
and these will be ample 10 take care OF the con-
