EXCLUDING FOREIGNERS.
GOVERNMENT REPRISAL POLICY. (Per Press Association, Copyright.) NEW YORK, March. 18. The Washington correspondent of the “New York Times” says the Department of the Interior has issued a statement and decision declaring it will prevent the Roxana Petroleum Corporation, which is British and Dutch owned, from obtaining leases for the exploitation of public oil lands, on the ground of Britain and Holland refusing similar rights to Americans. The statement emphasises the United States’ intention to refuse oil exploitation rights to citizens of, those nations which did not grant like privileges to Amercans. It points out that early in 1894 Britain refused the entrance of American concerns into the exploitation of oil lands in Burma, and gives at length at list of the restrictions Holland and Britain impose in a number of their domains.
