JIUwlnit the Action of the Sute Department In Kl""f - Sleeper From Csr-as and CVwmg 1 Vp Ito IiepHlon There .the Charge Washington .Calls on AcUn Serre- tarT an end Presents His I- terof Rewrtl From HI- Govern - Eent-Xo Ukellhooa of ' ta the " Immediate Futuwv-K at AB The "' esuela. 3 ' " " 'Wvh)nftoar foiy"-The diploma 10 relaUona between America and . Veneiuela that have existed uninter ruptedly for more than a century, ' though iii Tecem; years severely strain ed were to-day completely severed. ryhU tteJrnoow Senor Vcloz-Goltispa, ithe Veaesuelan charge d'affaires, called at the State Department by ap r pointment to-present to Acting Sec ' retary Bacon notice from his govern ment that he was to quit his post here,. close up the Venezuelan legation la. Washington and repair forthwith to Venesueja. - The charge explained to the Acting cfetary that the action of the Mate Department In withdrawing Jacob Sleeper, the American charge from Caracas and in closing up its legation there, made it necessary for his gov ' eminent to take similar action in the ;" case er its own legation in Washing-, v tan. Just what took place tu-tween Act ing' Secretary Baron and the charge cannot be known beyond the fact that "the latter presented his letter of recall. He made no demand for his passports nor could he do so conaist- , ently In view of tho fad that Foreign Minister Paul had declined to issue such passports to the American charge when he withdrew from Caracas on the ground that there was no neces sity for passports; the country be ing in profound peace and his person not being threatened In any way. Senior Veloi did communicate to Ms. Bacon the fact that the tiles and papers ol the Venezuelan legation would be placed In the custody of Stnor Jacobo PlmentaJ. the Venezuei Ian consul in Mew York. This state ment is regarded as an Indication that the Venezuelan government will follow the precedent established by the United States In refraining from Interfering with trade by .closing the consulates, noth withstanding the breach in diplomatic relations. It is pointed out by offlrlRlsi who have followed rlosely the develop- menU In Ah" Vener.uelnn situation that there Is not the slightest ilangi-r of war In the immediate future, or In deed at all. Rather will the situation resemble that following the rupture of diplomatic relations between France and Venezuela for Insiance where legations were closed on both hies and all official relations term! rated while trade between the tw countries rontlnued. The history tt these episodes in the case of Ven esuela Is verv much alike. Mr. Velfty. GoUlcoas' withdrawal follows that of Mlfilster Russell as diplomatic repre sentative of the l.'nlted State to Venezuela about two months ago and that of Mr. Bleeper, the secretary of legation, and Lieutenant Kuggles, the military attache, about two weeks since. The" reason for the withdraw al of the American legation nt Caracas rose from the persistent refusal of Venezuela to give redress for the gov ernmental action bpr which all Amer lean Interests in Venezuela jkere eith er destroyed or confiscated, or to sub mit the claims of Americancitizens to arbitration.
