STATEMENT FROM CASTRO.
Venezuelan President Tells Of the
Invasion by Colombian Forces.

Venezuelan President Tells of the
Invasion by Colombian Forces.
New York, Aug. 1.-THE following
cable message has been received by
the Associated Press from Torres Car
denas, general secretary of President
Castro of Venezuela, in reply to a dis
patch addressed to the president, ask
ing him for statement on the Vene-
zuela-COlumbia situation:
Caracas. Venezuela. Aug. lin the
name of his eXcellency, General Castro,
reply to your cabIegram in the fol-
lowing terms
The government OF Venezuela. pre-
sided over by General Castro, is fully
justified in all its works and acts. It
is essentially liberal in its practices.
1t is of the opinion that the conserva-
tlves Of Colombia. probably led by
rulnOus and wicked passions. have re-
solved TO assist in revolutionary
movement against Venezuela and her
government.
"An of this has been actually proven
b. the official publications issued by
the cabinet in BOgcta- They date from
the 1st of April. This view has not been
denied, either by the conservative gov
eminent OF Colombia or by its envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
uary in this capital
was surprised by the first and second
inVasiOns of her frontier by 5000 and
1000 men respectively, the invaders
were VIGOROUSLY expelled by the gov
eminent and the people of Venezuela.
Since said events 10000 men have
been massed on the frontier for the
defense and integrity of Venezuela and
, its national honor. These are quite
apart from her active service troops on
other parts of the frontier. as well as
national troops scattered over the re-
public and the reserve militia now un-
der arms.
Venezuela has not accepted the in
vasion as an International attack by
the people of Colombia against the
people Of Venezuela, but, knowing its
real source, recognizes in it the work
OF the conservative government of Co
iombia against the majesty Of the ma
ton of Venezuela.
Signed. TORRES CARDENAS,
General Secretary"
