Prohibitive Tariff on Venezuelan Coffee Proposed in Senate Talks
Washington reports a trio of tentative measures from foreign relations committee on Venezuela. A prohibitive tariff on Venezuelan coffee is planned, alongside excluding imports of Jaepbett from Lake Bermudez and empowering the president to act as needed in future negotiations. Secretary Root’s correspondence with Minister Russell details historic claim efforts, noting past ultimatums and continuing difficulty in securing settlement of New York Bermudez asphalt and mining titles. The New York and Bermudez company remains dispossessed of the lake and fined by Venezuela, with arbitration refused by Caracas.

Washington April 1 five Democratic members of the senate committee on military affairs defeated both the Warner and Foraker bills for restoring to duty negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry discharged without honor after the Brownsville Texas incident. The minority voted as a unit to push adverse reports. Warner hopes his bill may still pass if senate votes favor it.
