President Roosevelt tells Secretary of State Root that General Yboni told James F. J. Archibald, the correspondent in Venezuela, that the Venezuelans could not deal with the United States while the ultimatum was in force. Archibald reports about the arms in various locations and says that it would be a serious event to attack them. Roosevelt asks when William J. Calhoun’s report will be made.
