Chargé Hutchinson to the Secretary of State.

American Legation,
Caracas, June 22, 1905.

No. 434.]

Sir: I have the honor to report that during the last two weeks El Constitucional, the government newspaper, has been devoting a large portion of its space every day to publishing the correspondence which passed between this legation and the Venezuelan foreign office this year relative to the asphalt case. So far, no comments have been added to the said correspondence by the editor. The notes in question have been copied from the yearly report of the minister of foreign relations.

I have, etc.,

Norman Hutchinson.
