Rival AsphaltjCompanies

Between United' States and

Warships Are Wanted to Protect
American Interests.

Washington, Dec.20. (Spl.) Rivalry
between two asphalt companies may
i cause trouble between Venezuela and

1

port. Dispatches from Caracas, sent
by agents to the National Asphalt com
pany, commonly known ns tho asphalt
trust, are very alarming In their char
acter. They doclnie that nil Venezuela
is preparing to nttack American Ipter-
csts and to destroyLlmcricnu .property.
They nsk that rvai ships be sent to
i
their protection.
Senor Pulldn, tho 'N onezuelnu charge
d'affaires, doubts tho truth of this
statement, as ho sa.vs It Is unreason
able to suppose a revolution caused by
commercial strife.iFroin this and oth
Ci' sources It Is learned that the Nation
al Aspluilt Co. claims a concession from
Venezuela covering a large portion of
the lake Guanooo. Other concessions
covering territory claimed by tho Na
tional has been gianted another com
pnny, known as "La Felecldad." Strife
between them ended In tho cancellation
0 all conflicting concessions which hnd
been granted to the National company.
Thereupon the latter threatened to
nrm Its employes to tho number of 100
nnd resist all attempts to turn any of
Its territory to I.n Felecldad, and now
nsks the support of U. S. gun boats.
