Acting Secretary of State Adee to Minister Bowen.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Department of State,
Washington, August 29, 1904.

(Mr. Adee states that the New York and Bermudez Asphalt Company complain that the Venezuelan consul at Philadelphia refuses to authenticate papers necessary for use in Venezuelan courts. Mr. Bowen is directed to request the Venezuelan Government to instruct consul to authenticate papers promptly in usual and proper terms in order to enable New York and Bermudez Company to prepare its case before the Venezuelan courts and avoid a denial of justice.)
