Washington, March 3I.-The long
expected correspondence between
America and Venezuela respecting the
pending American claims against the
latter country was submitted to the
senate today, and il is almost certain
TO create a profound impression.
IL will be difficult to digest the vast
mass of material which Secretary
Root placed before congress, but
even cursory inspection of the doc
uments makes it evident that the ne
gotiations reached critical phase
The presidents realization of that
fact is shown by his transmission of
the matter to, the senate without
comment, regarding correspondence,
and especially Secretary Roots strong
presentation of the American case, as
sufficient to instantly enlist the atten-
ton of congress. All correspondence
and documents were referred to the
senate COMMITTEES on foreign relations.
Tentative Program.
Those members of congress who
already have familiarized themselves
with the situation have arranged a
tentative program which consists of
three propositions as follows: Place
