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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Un Barco Se Detiene En La Guaira
    Lya Imber de Coronil (1914-1981) Ana Teresa Torres 1 UN BARCO SE DETIENE EN LA GUAIRA Durante el siglo XX Venezuela fue un país de acogida; desterrados y transterrados, exiliados y refugiados, emigrantes por los más diversos motivos, cruzaron sus fronteras de agua y tierra para asentar de nuevo sus vidas. Por ello los venezolanos hemos ganado la fama de conformar una sociedad abierta y de generosa bienvenida, y probablemente la fama sea justa, aunque bien pudiera decirse que un cierto prejuicio a la extranjeridad es residual en toda sociedad. En cualquier caso, los que aquí llegaron de muy lejos o más cerca suelen insistir en el agradecimiento que conservan, o conservaron sus padres, por su patria de adopción. Siempre que lo escucho trato de rectificar: agradecida Venezuela a los hombres y mujeres que sumaron trabajo y conocimiento a su historia. Muchos de los que vinieron fueron protagonistas en esa tarea, siempre inacabada, de la construcción del país, pero también es necesario reconocer que quienes los recibieron supieron valorar su talento y su esfuerzo, y atesorarlo en beneficio de la colectividad. Gracias a ello Venezuela, como en general América, de norte a sur, ha podido salvarse de los nacionalismos y fanatismos religiosos que han sembrado gran parte de la destrucción de la humanidad. Sólo un espíritu obcecado y torpe pudiera ver a los otros como enemigos. Nuestra biografiada, Lya Imber de Coronil, forma parte de ese contingente de venezolanos que nacieron en otras geografías. Terminaba el bachillerato cuando, procedente de Rumania, llegó a La Guaira en 1930, acompañada de su madre, Ana, y de su hermana Sofía –que no requiere presentación–, a reunirse con su padre, Nahum Imber, que había venido poco antes.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM Vol. 87 Washington : 1939 No, 3073 OBSERVATIONS ON THE BIRDS OF NORTPIERN VENEZUELA By Alexander Wetmore An extended journey in the southern republics of South America several years ago aroused a wish to know something in life of the birds of the northern section of that great continent, a desire that was finally gratified in the latter part of 1937 when arrangement was made for field work in Venezuela. In brief, in this second journey work began at the seacoast 50 miles west of La Guaira, was extended inland to the higher levels of the CordiUera de la Costa at Rancho Grande, and, with brief observations at Maracay in the valley of Aragua, was concluded with a stay at El Sombrero in the northern Orinoco Valley 80 miles due south of the capital city of Caracas. The studies thus included a transit through the arid tropical zone of the north coast, the subtropical rain forests of the coast range, the open valley of Aragua, and the northern section of the llanos down to that point where the blanket of thorny scrub that extends south- ward from the hills on the northern boundary of that great level plain begins to open out in the vast savannas that reach toward the Rio Orinoco. The collections from the region included in the Parque Naciondl serve as a link to join work done by earlier investigators in the region of the Cumbre de Valencia and Puerto Cabello in Estado Carabobo, and in the vicinity of Caracas.

  • A History of the Church in Venezuela, 1810-1930
    UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LIBRARY THIS Vv'u]3^niA5 bttN REVIEWED FOR PRESERVATION. Date: A HISTORY OF THE CHURCH IN VENEZUELA 1810-1930 A HISTORY OF THE CHURCH IN VENEZUELA 1810-1930 BY Mary Watters, Ph.D. PROFESSOR OF HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT ARKANSAS STATE COLLEGE *^^^%^ Chapel Hill The University of North Carolina Press 1933 COPYRIGHT, 1933, BY THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA PRESS PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY THE SEEMAN PRESS, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA ^ ^ TO MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER 119387 PREFACE An interesting and significant feature of the history of the states that resulted from the dissolution of the Spanish Empire in America is found in the differences they present in the evolution of the church. The diversity in the history of this institution is one of the striking evidences of the individuality and differentiation of these Hispanic- American groups. It is suggestive, too, of the decentralization and consequent variations in operation now recognized to have been fundamental characteristics of the Spanish colonial system; for in the colonial background, racial, social, and political, lie the roots of this institutional evolution, whatever may have been the contributions of the national period. Although the progress of anti-clericalism and the operation of other forces have weakened in varying degrees the hold of the church in all Hispanic-American states, in none did the loss of influence fall so early ,^ in none was it so complete as in Venezuela. Indeed, the virtual impotence of the church has been recognized as a peculiar feature of the history of this people which distinguishes it from all other Hispanic-American groups.

  • UNHCR Venezuela Fact Sheet
    FACT SHEET Venezuela January – March 2021 The first quarter of the year has registered an almost complete stop to spontaneous returns from the Colombian side of the border, with very limited returns trickling in from Brazil and a few hundred repatriations through the Government airlift scheme Plan Vuelta a la Patria. At the same time, the numbers of Venezuelans leaving the country has increased gradually to an estimated level of over 2,000 daily exits into Colombia and a few hundred into Brazil. UNHCR and allies have been setting up information and basic relief waystations along the main routes taken by the caminantes heading on foot towards the border. At the same time, especially following the lifting of restrictions for the Carnival celebrations, the levels of contagion from the COVID-19 epidemic have picked up pace, leading the Government to introduce an extended nationwide lockdown beginning mid-March.
