FIVE MILLIONS
FOR BUTTING IN
Judgment Against Asphalt
Trust Confirmed in
Venezuela.

Caracas. Venezuela, March II, via
Willemstad, Curacao, March 1.-THE
superior court today handed down a
verdict confirming the judgment of the
lower court, which condemned the New
York & Bermudez Asphalt company to
pay a fine of s., 000. 600 to the Venezuelan
government for having extended assist
ance TO the revolution which was direct
ed against President Castro. This sum
is the estimated cost of putting down
the revolution.
The company will appeal to the court
of cessation.
The finding of the lower court re-
ferred to in the above dispatch, which
is the civil court of first instance, was
handed down in August of last year.
The appeal to the court of cessation is
now the only thing that remains to the
company so far as the situation in Ven
eZuela is concerned.
Proved in United States Courts.
II was from American witnesses and
from testimony taken before American
judges in the United States courts that
the Venezuelan government obtained its
most important proof of the part al
legged to have been played by the as
pnalt company IN the MatOS reVOlu-
ton, the furnishing of the money with
which to start the fight.
The controversy between the asphalt
company and the Venezuelan govern
ment has been long and bitter and was
in a critical state at the time that Her
bert W. Bowen was American minister
at Caracas. On this occasion the state
department sent what was practically
an ultimatuu to Venezuela in regard tC
the matter.
The charge that the company aided
the revolution with funds has been sub
Stimulated, officials of the company hav-
| ing testified to the truth of this state
ment in New York in 1905

The sense of the meeting forcibly ex-

waiting for the legislature TO meet and
see which way the wind blows most IA

the legislature, in the event that 1t is
Republican, would be bound TO stand by
that nomination.
