Castro's Reply.

Berlin, Dec. 14-President Castros
reply to the German ultimatum is a
refusal to yield on any point.
The foreign office has not received
the text of President Castro's reply,
but only bulletin from the German
charge d'affairs, Herr Won Pilgrim
Baltazzi dated December 10, announc>
ing that the presidents answer had
been placed in his hands that day
and that the Venezuelan executive re-
fused to yield to the German demands
on all points. This telegram, with the
text Of the reply was filed at Port of
Spain, Island of Trinidad. With this
exception the foreign Office has re-
ceiyed no news since yesterday to in
dicate that the situation has grown
worse. A landing in force is not con-
sidered probable under any contin-
gency. The orders to blockade the
coast stand, and that is all the naval
commanders, for the present, are au-
thorized to do.
