Manufacture of Automobiles in United

Washington, July 15.-(Specal.) More
than million dollars worth of automo-
biles will have been brought into the
ends with the present week. and more
than million dollars worth exported dur
ing the same time. Figures of our foreign
commerce in automobiles, as announced
by the department of commerce and labor
through its bureau of statistics, show the
value of automobiles imported in the
eleven months ending with May to hare
been $500, 244 and of parts thereof, $37S, :
SS9, while exports thereof during the same
months amounted to s2,95774s. It is ap-
parent, therefore, that the figures for the
full fiscal year which ends with Saturday
of this week will show more than mill
lion dollars worth OF automobiles aud
parts thereof imported and more than 8
million dollars worth exported
Meantime the manufacture of automo-
biles in the United States has amounted
to presumably more than 26 millions of
dollars, since the bureau of the census
has recently issued a preliminary state
ment which shows the value of automo-
biles manufactured in the United States
in 1905 at s2s,645,O64. This figure includes
amounts received for custom work and
repairing and value of products other than
automobiles; but as 1t does not include
automobiles, valued at $S79, POS, manufac-
tured in establishments engaged primari-
ly in the manufacture of other products
it may probably be safely set down that
the value of automobiles produced in the
United States approximates 26 millions Of
dollars and the imports millions. and
that out of this total of 30 million dollars
there was exported about million dollars

STATE OF TROUBLE
WITH VENEZUELA
UItimatum Given by the Late
Secretary Hay
THE VENEZUELAN ANSWER
That Government Denies Having any
Questions Pending With United
States. and Asks coun-
ter Questions.

Washington, July 15-In view Of the
determination of the state department to
renew its demand upon the Venezuelan
government for the settlement of claims
against Venezuela, it is a matter of inter
est to note the precise state of those
troublesome issues when negotiations were
suspended in March, 1905. For the first
time the red book dscloses in terms tho
ultimatum laid down by the late secre-
tary of state, John Hay, in an instruc-
ton to Minister Bowen dated March 10
of that year:
1.-THE attitude of the Venezuelan govern
ment toward the government of the Uni
ted States and towards the interests of
Its citizens who have suffered so grave
and frequent wrongs arbitrarily commit
ted by the government of Venezuela. re-
quest that justice now be fully done once
for all. IF the government of Venezuela
finally declines to consent to an impartial
arbitration, insuring the rendition of COM
plete justice to these injured parties, the
government of the United States may be
regretfully compelled to take such meas
ures it may find necessary to effect
complete redress without resort to arbitra-
ton. The government OF the United States
stands committed to the principle of I'M
partial arbitration, which can do injustice
to nobody, and If It's moderate request Is
peremptorily refused, 1t Will be at lib
erty to consider, II 1t is compelled to re-
sort to more vigorous measures, whether
those measures shall include complete in
Identification, not only for the citizens
aggrieved, but for any expenses of the
government of the United States which
may attend their execution"
Venezuelan Answer.
The Venezuelan answer rendered March
% amounted to a rejection of the ulti-
matum for 1t denied that Venezuela had
any questions pending with the United
States and propounded the following In
terrogation:
Before giving further consideration to
Mr.. Hays note the Venezuelan govern
ment states that 1t must know whether
the United States respects the methods
and nobility of the Venezuelans.'
Mr.. Bowen adds that the answer is I'M
yielding and requires no further ulti-
matum.
Perhaps the explanation for the rather
defiant attitude which the Venezuelan
government occupies to this day. so far
as the official correspondence shows, is
to be found in a paraphrase of telegram
| from Minister Bowen to the Secretary of
State, reporting that Senior Jesus Paul,
President Castros private representative,
who was then in Washington, actively
! oultivating public sentiment In this coun-
| try adverse TO the asphalt claims, had
cabled directly to President Castro that
the United States government would not
answer Mr.. Bowen. or If they did they
would not give him conciliatory instruc-
! lions.
