The Press Dispatch Confirmed.


The State Department today received
cablegram from Minister Bowen, dateo a'
Caracas, confirmatory of the Parls ao-
vice on the subject of the Venezuelan su-
preme courts action in the asphalt case.
Mr. Bowen stated that the supreme court
had confirmed it's former decree sequestrat-
ing the property in Venezuela of the Ameri-
can Asphalt Company. The action OF the
court brings the asphalt dispute to the
critical point, for it is now necessary for
this government to make the next move.
Some time last spring the Venezuelan
court before which an application had peeh
filed by the Venezuelan government Tor va
cation of the franchise of the asphalt COM
pany decided that the corporation had for
feited it's charter rights by falling to meet
certain obligations imposed in the fran
chise, notably in not opening up certain
waters to navigation and in failing to ex-
plot the mineral and forest resources OF
the country, apart from the asphalt mines:
1t was also held that the company had
invited the forfeiture by financing the Mat
tos rebellion against Castro, which terml-
mated when the latter triumphed. The
court granted the governments application
and appointed Mr.. Garner, at one time
connected with the asphalt company, put
later it's enemy, receiver for the prop
erty.
Mr. Garner, experienced as he was In the
working of the asphalt mines, proceeded to
develop the Felicidad Asphalt Lake with
great energy, mining large quantities of the
mineral and even shipping 1t directly to
New York, where it was sold In the open
market. The American Asphalt Company
sought to obtain reversal of the order for
the appointment of the receiver, and the
court ent srtained its motion to that effect,
but it has now decided adversely upon that
