CLAIMS OF -UNITED STATES. JReeeiped April 1, .9.56 p.m. NEW YORK, April 1. President Roosevelt has submitted to the Senate five claims against Venezuela, respecting which President Castro refuses to.arbitrate. The claims include the New York and Bermwez Asphalt Company's claim, regarding which Special Commissioner Calhoun reported to the State Department that if the Company's demand was met with procrastination or refusal the dignity of the United States Government required prompt and vigorous action.
The United States Government last month presented a note to Venezuela insisting that the claims of American citizens who have suffered injustice in Venezuela sfoali be submitted to arbitration. The President of Venezuela has annulled most of the concessions granted to foreigners by his predecessors, and has inflicted indignities upon foreign residents. As a result his ports have bsen blockaded, and he has perhaps received more ultimatums than any other man living. I In July last Venezuela refused to j arbitrate respecting the asphalt concessions granted to Americans.
