A S, Special Cable to The Call and New York Her- . Copyright, 1501, by the Herald Pub- lishing Company. CARACAS, Venezuela, Jan. 19.—Officers of the United States gunboat Scorpion say that the situation is grave. Minister Loomis In consequence of {instructions from Washington has made four protests against the Government decree annulling the concession of the New York and Ber- mudez Asphalt Company. The protests were based on the fact that Venezuela acted without the approval of the Su- preme Court. Minister Loomis has made an imperative demand. practically an ultimatum, that the Venezuelan Government would not dispossess the New York and Bermudez Company before the authorities in Wash- ington could investigate the case. It was urged by Mr. Loomis that the New York and Bermudez Company should be per- mitted by Venezuela to remain in posses- sion of the asphalt property until the con- troversy has been settled in court. Vene- zuela has defied the United States and has given apparently no consideration to the demands from Washington. Dispatches to-day from Guanaco indi- cate that troubles are imminent. Guer- rilla bands are threatening to destroy the asphalt refining plant. The political band which is harassing the New York and Bermudez Company offers to restore the asphalt properties and to give full protec- tion upon the payment of $400,000. There is no trouble in Caracas and busi- ness conditions are excellent. ACTION UNAUTHORIZED. Loomis Not Instructed to Present a Formal Note. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—It is said to- night that this Government has not authorized Minister Loomis to present a formal note to the Venezuelan Govern- ment, and certainly nothing in the nature of an ultimatum. The Secretary of State sald that Minister Loomis' instructions so ADVERTISEMENTS. ~ LADIES MUSLIN NDERWEAR. SEMI-ANNUAL SALE.

Yes, sir, T belleve that is so.

This committee has been diligent in its inquiry now for close on to three weeks. We have had to | make this investigation & searching one, with- out fear or favor, and certainly without' preju- | dice against the institution. We are all proud | of it, and the American people haye a Ereat interést in it. One hundred vears have testi- | fled to its worth and to its value to the coun- | try. It has produced great men and it will continue to do so unless its purpose is per- verted. It seldom comes to any set of men to have such an opportunity as that which Dresents Iiself at this time to the cadets at tee had decided to adopt his testimony as reported in the records of the military court of inquiry and that he could amplify | it in any w he desired. The witness | sald he was surprised at the number of | fights which had_occurred in the last | three years, according to evidence ad- duced at the sessions of the committee, | It was a revelation (o him and he added | that the cadets evaded all the watchful- ness of the tactful officers which vigor- ously tried to discover such breaches of the rules and regulations. - As soon as Colonel Hein concluded his testimony Colonel Mills, superintendent of the academy, handed the following docu- ment, signed by the president of each of the classes, to Colonel Dick, chairman of the committee: WEST POINT, Jan. 19.—To the Buperi tendent of the United States Military Academ: Having become cognizant of the manner in which the system of hazing, as practiced at the military academy, is regarded by the peo- | ple of the United States we, the cadets of the United States Military Academy, while | maintaining that we have pursued our system from the best motives, yet realizing that the deliberate judgment of the people should in & country ilke ours be above other considera- tions, do reafirm our former action abolish- ing the practice of exercising fourth class men and do further agree to discontinue hazing and compelling fourth class men to eat anything | against their desire and the practice of ‘“calling out” fourth class men by class action and that we will not devise similar practices to replace those abandoned. After reading the communication Gen- eral Dick =aid: This voluntary act of the corps has so im- pressed the committes that has every reason to believe that in epirit and in letter it will be carried out by those cadets who are now at the military academy. This action of the men is greatly commended by the com- mittee and will be read by the country with feelings of merited approbation. Cadets Bettison, Mahaffey, Gray and Atkins, the presidents and representatives of the four classes, were called before the committee and addressed by General Dick, who thanked them for their action in abolishing hazing at the academy and said that Congress would recognize and adopt what they had done. He also thanked Colonel Mills for the kindness and courtesy shown the commit- tee since it had come here. He also said the committee would go back to Congress with the kindest feell and best wishes for the academy and all connected with it.
