Interest can not justly be charged against the Government except from the date of the demand for compensation, unless the delay in presenting the claim is satis- factorily explained.1 BAINBRIDGE, Commissioner (for the Commission) : The United. States of America on behalf of Corinne B. de Garmendia, as sole legatee under the will of Carlos G. de Garmendia, deceased, presents a claim against the Government of Venezuela for the sum of $ 111,274.63, said claim being based upon the following statement of facts: First. That on July 7, 1877, Carlos G. de Garmendia, a naturalized citizen of the United States, made with the Government of Venezuela, through its minister of the interior, a contract to establish steam-vessel communication between New York City and the ports of La Guaira and Puerto Cabello, the Government of Venezuela, in consideration of the advantages to accrue to the entire country from such communication, binding itself to aid the enter- prise with a monthly subsidy of $ 4,000 (Venezuelan). The contract was to " remain in full force and power for the term of two years." The enterprise commenced operations December 15, 1877, and from that date the Government of Venezuela paid punctually the monthly subsidy of $ 4,000 (Venezuelan) until January 15, 1879.

  • FLOODS Appeal No
    11 February2000 VENEZUELA: FLOODS appeal no. 35/99 situation report no. 8 period covered: 18 January - 7 February 2000 The Federation, the Venezuelan Red Cross and Participating National Societies are increasing the scope of emergency relief assistance to flood victims. It includes food, clean water, health care and psychological support. The bad weather is continuing in some areas, causing further damage and adding to logistical difficulties. The disaster Weeks of torrential rains in Venezuela at the end of 1999 caused massive landslides and severe flooding in seven northern states. The official death toll is 30,000 but other sources put the figure as high as 50,000. Over 600,000 persons are estimated to have been directly affected and according to the Venezuelan Civil Defence’s initial damage assessments at least 64,700 houses have been damaged and over 23,200 destroyed. Update A state of alert is still in effect in the State of Vargas as rains continue in the mountains. Eight districts are still only accessible by air. The cave-in of one lane of the highway to El Junquito has cut off seven towns. The collapse of the highway between Morón and Coro has isolated the state of Falcón. Twenty four new landslides and floods were recorded during the past week. A growing lagoon has built up above Caracas because of debris blocking the rivers. The authorities have started to demolish condemned homes and shanty houses built in dangerous areas such as ravines and canyons because warmer weather is producing cracks in the mud banks and badly damaged homes are collapsing under their own weight.

  • The Rites of Statehood: Violence and Sovereignty in Spanish America, 1789-1821 Jeremy Adelman Princeton University in Gabriel Ga
    1 The Rites of Statehood: Violence and Sovereignty in Spanish America, 1789-1821 Jeremy Adelman Princeton University In Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel, The General in his Labyrinth, a long-winded Frenchman lectures a pensive, dying Simon Bolivar. The Liberator responds. He acknowledges that the revolution unleashed the furies of avenging justice, and laments, without repudiating, his decision to order the execution of eight hundred Spanish prisoners in a single day, including pa.ti~nts in La Guaira' s moral authority to reproach me, for if any history is drowned in blood, indignity, and injustice, it is the history of Europe." When the Frenchman tries to interrupt, Bolivar puts down his cutlery \ and glares at his guest. "Damn it, please let us have our Middle Ages in peace!" he exclaimed. 1 These, of course, were Garc,a Marquez's words, not Bolivar's. But they echo Bolivar's requiem on the events he shaped about the relationship between savagery and state-formation. More than lofty proclamations or principle's of statehood, the historical memory of the years leading to 1821 are saturated with blood. For the chroniclers and epic writers, from Jose Manuel, Restrepo's (1827) Historia de la Revolucion de Colombi~ to Garcia Marquez, the scenes of violence and carnage gave rise to narratives of sacrifice and struggle that could not be wholly redeemed by what came after. And yet, we have not thought very systematically about the significance of political violence in Latin America - despite its recurrence. Perhaps it is because of its recurrence: for so many, the cruelty was sown into a ''tradition'' of conquest and 1 Gabriel Garda Marquez, The General in His Labyrinth (New York: Knopf, 1990), p.

This work is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. 3D shear velocity structure of the northwestern South America- Caribbean Subduction Zone from ambient noise and ballistic Rayleigh wave tomography Wenpei Miao, John Cornthwaite, Alan Levander, Fenglin Niu, Michael Schmitz, German Prieto, and Viviana Dionicio Rice University, Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences, Houston, United States of America ([email protected]) The Caribbean plate (CAR) collided with and initiated subduction beneath northwestern South America (SA) at about 60-55 Ma. Since the onset of subduction, it has formed the Lara nappes and subsequently the Laramide-style uplifts of the Merida Andes, Sierra de la Perija and Santa Marta ranges, with maximum elevations > 5km. The triangular Maracaibo block, bounded by the Santa Marta-Bucaramanga, Bocono and Oca-Ancon Faults, is currently escaping to the north relative to SA over both the subducting and nonsubducting elements of the CAR plate. Although many petroleum related seismic studies have been done in this area, the details of the subduction geometry of the CAR plate beneath the Maracaibo block remain unclear. The few deeper seismic investigations are either very large scale, very local, or only peripheral to this area. Previous geodetic studies have suggested that this region has potential for a great (M~8+) earthquake (Bilham and Mencin, 2013). To investigate this complex region we fielded a 65 element broadband seismic array to complement the 48 existing stations of the Colombian and Venezuelan national seismic networks. The array is collectively referred to as the CARMArray.

  • Venezuela Floods
    VENEZUELA: FLOODS 16 November 2000 Information Bulletin N° 1 The Disaster Following several days of heavy rains, a state of emergency has been declared in nine states in Venezuela as a result of widespread flooding: Merida, Trujillo, Falcón, Zulia, Carabobo, Aragua, Miranda, Sucre and Vargas. According to the Venezuela civil defence authorities, three people have been killed and thousands made homeless. The Venezuelan authorities have already evacuated several thousands of people from their homes in Vargas and are arranging temporary shelter facilities for those affected. River levels are being closely monitored as the bad weather continues. Floods and landslides in the country last December left up to 30,000 dead, with tens of thousands more made homeless. Many communities are still living in high-risk areas affected by last year’s landslides, despite government efforts to relocate people to the interior of the country. The Venezuelan Red Cross (VRC), supported by the Federation and several Participating National Societies, is still assisting those affected in Vargas state, within the framework of appeal 35/99 launched following severe flooding. Red Cross/Red Crescent Action Volunteers from the Vargas branch of the Venezuelan Red Cross, headed by the branch’s seven-person relief team, have been responding to the emergency situation since Sunday. In the first instance, the branch assisted with evacuations in the affected areas and subsequently conducted an initial needs assessment in conjunction with the Venezuelan authorities. Provisions and basic supplies have been provided in eight shelters, mostly located in schools, theatres and military centres, where more than 750 families are staying.

  • The Venezuela Debris Flow and Flash Flood Disaster
    NATURAL HAZARDS ON ALLUVIAL FANS: THE VENEZUELA DEBRIS FLOW AND FLASH FLOOD DISASTER In December 1999, rainstorms induced thousands of landslides along the Cordillera de la Costa, Vargas, northern Venezuela. Rainfall on December 2-3 totaled 200 millimeters (8 inches) and was followed by a major storm (911 millimeters, or 36 inches) on December 14 through 16. Debris flows and flash floods on alluvial fans inundated coastal communities, caused severe property destruction, and resulted in a death toll estimated at 19,000 people.
