NO APPEAL POSSIBLE
This Government Will Take
No Action Until Root Re-
turns From His Vacation

CARACAS. Venezuela, Aug. S.-The
Federal Court of Cessation yesterday on
appeal gave final judgment confirming
the dissolution of the Hamilton con-
tract, with costs. No appeal is now
possible before the Venezuelan courts.
All the points in the original Judgment
of May 20 are confirmed by the present
decision, in addition TO the annulment
of the Hamilton contract. in connection
with which damages for the Govern
ment are awarded.
OYSTER BAY. Aug. s.-President
Roosevelt has been informed through
the Department of State that the Fed
eral Court of Venezuela has rendered
a decision against the BeFmudez As
phalt Company In the case involving
the so-ealled Hamilton concession. an
nuliing the concession.
What action may be taken by this
Government regarding the matter can
not be announced at this time; in fact,
so far as can be ascertained here, no
determination of the question has been
reached. 1t is quite probable that
nothing will be done until Secretary
Root who is now on a vacation in Lab
rador, shall have returned to the
United States and considered the sub
ject with the President in the light of
the report which will be made by Judge
Calhoun of his investigation OF the
