Colombia Accuses President Castro Of
Furthering Secretly the ReVOlu.
. ton Against That Country
IS by Smuggling Of Arms.

Port au Spain, Aug. 3. -Venezuela is
again on the eve of revolution and Sc.
rious complications will, in all proba-
bllity, arise between the governments
of Venezuela and Colombia. President
Castro, while facing the uprising against
his own authority, is also accused of
furthering secretly the revolution
against the Colombian government.
Arms, ammunition and other accesso-
ries of war have been quietly smuggled
into Venezuela through the waterways
of the republic, and the first engage
ment is expected to be signal for the
uprisings in several widely separated
districts.
General Castro is expected to assert
his power by placing strict censorship
on all Geographic dispatches from that
country as well as ordering close scru-
tiny of all mail matter passing through
the general postoffice in Caracas.
To add to tho seriousness of the situa-
ton in Venezuela itself it is well known
in the adjoining republic of Colombia
that a very strong feeling of resentment
against the Castro government exists
on account Of what is considered seri-
GUS breach of international law on the
part Of Venezuela, for its alleged recog-
milton, if not actual assistance to the
leaders Of the revolutionary party of
Colombia.

CUBAN CONVENTION,
Provisions of The Electoral Bill Dis
cussed by the Delegates.

Havana, Aug. 3.-The Cuban consti-
tutional convention began to consider
separately the provisions of the electoral
bill, taking up first of all the qualifca-
tions of candidates for offices.
There was also some discussion re-
garding the freedom of presidential
electors to vote for whom they choose.
Senior Sanguilly maintained that it
would be better to elect the president
by the direct vote of the people than to
have the electors bound to vote for a
special candidate. He favored a change
in the constitution in this respect.
AS result of the discussion of quail
fications Of governor, provincial legis-
lator or presidential elector, the conven-
ton decided that candidates must be
either of Cuban birth or naturallzed
with residence of eight years in Cuba
after the naturalization.
