Crisis At Hand as a Result Of
Several Issues Now
Pending.
WILL NOT ARBITRATE
WarIike Southerners Arouse
Wrath Of President and
Secretary Root.

Washington, April 1.-The vene-
zuelan crisis was put squarely up to
the senate yesterday when the long
expected correspondence between
America and Castro's government on
the subject of American claims was
submitted to that body.
That the time has passed for usual
methods of diplomacy is plainly
stated by Secretary Root This view
seems to have been shared by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who refrained from
making any comment or recommenda-
ton in forwarding the correspondence
to the senate.
Five Claims Reviewed.
The secretary of state reviews the
five claims which have been the cause
of SO much controversy between the
two governments. They are the Jaur-
ett. claim, the Orinoco corporation
claim, that of the Orinoco Steamship
company, the claim of the United
States and Venezuela company
(known as the "Critchfield claim'O.
and the claim of the New York and
Bermudez Asphalt company.
All of the correspondence and docu-
ments in the matter were referred to
the senate committee on foreign re-
lations.
! =" Plan Duty on Coffee.
Some Of the members OF the COM
mittee, familiar with the status of tn
Venezuelan claims, have prepared a
tentative program which involves the
| placing of prohibitive duty on vene-
| zrelan coffee, which constitutes As
per cent of the exports from that
country and 80 per cent of which is
taken by the United States.
I 1t is also planned to exclude all i'm
portations of asphalt from Lake Ber-
mudez, the product of which is taken
| almost entirely by the United States.
Further some of the committeeman
/ are in favor of authorizing the presi-
dent Ito take such steps as he may
deem necessary" in dealing with Ven
ezuela in the future.
Justice HonOred In Breach.
The correspondence reveals the fact
that Secretary Root has made numer.
Gus efforts to secure justice for the
American claimants at the hands of
President Castro and in the vene
zuelan courts, but that all his labors
have been in vain.
Castro and his government are ac-
oused of ignoring all principles of
right and justice in taking away from
American citizens rights acquired in
accordance with all the laws of
/ Venezuela. "a
Secretary Root gives copies of his
various letters to the American min
lister to Venezuela, instfucting him to
press the claims in controversy to ad-
judication by the Venezuelan govern.
ment, together with the replies of the
minister showing the .futility OF his
effort
Refused to Arb:trate.
i Official correspondence with vene.
zuela on the subject of the claims
was brought to a close In February,
when Minister Russell cabled that
Venezuela refused absolutely to sub
NIT any of the claims to arbitration.
