Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-12-27

The Venezuelans have so many trou-
bles that it is a relief TO turn to the
more pleasing aspects of their daily
life.
Despite their fondness for revolution
which possibly is due TO abuse of
power by some of their presidents-the
Nenezuelans are the most courteous
people that can be imagined. Impo-
likeness is unpardonnble. The clerk
with whom you deal over his counter
expresses his wish that you may live
long and prosper and thanks you CRATE
fully for giving him the pleasure of
showing his goods, whether you pur-
chase anything or not, When Il gen
tleman meets a lady be she his sweet
heart or his grandmother, he always
says he lis lying at her feet" and he
would rather be shot than be guilty of
passing before her. They are not the
semibarbarians which some people in
the northern continent suppose. They
have accomplishments which ought to
make the rest of America ashamed.
Usually they are able to speak three
or four languages, have refined taste
in art and music, and, while they lack
ingenuity and usually do things in the
hardest way. they are nevertheless pos
sessed of the keenes~ perceptive fac
ulties and almost seem to read your
thoughts. 1t is not difficult to make
known your wants even if you cannot
understand a word of their language.
They do not allow smoking in the
street cars and public places, as in
Mexico and Havana. and, although it
is the privilege of the masculine gen
der to stare ut the feminine with all
- - - have. the men are never

eyes and the high forehead was a
soldier of the NapoleOnic order. He
began to mix in the various revolts
which were being fomented against the
government. He found plenty of this
work to do. He displayed q remarka-
BILE talent for getting men together and
making them win battles. OF course
these battles were only skirmishes, but
the manner in which they were man.
aged showed clearly that the young
man was born to the game.
In short time he had Il following.
BY courtesy it was called an army.
There were two or three of these ar
mics then in the field General Herman
= DEE was at the head of one. At that
time Andrade was president of Nene-
zuela. Hernandez and the other revo-
lutionists fought Independently of each
other. Zach was for himself. Finally
Hernandez was caught away from his
army. He was taken prisoner by An
drade Then Andrade gave his atten-
ton to the others.
The dark young man quietly gath
cred up the forces which the unfortu-
nate Hernandez had commanded. One
day he heard that Andrade, with big
army, was looking for him. He had
been declared an outlaw. A price had
been put on his head. This was some
thing of a distinction for an obscure
young soldier to have achieved, but it
did not embarrass him in the least.
Detailing a small part of his force,
he sent it out to meet Andrade's big
army. 1t was sheer folly, of course,
but while Andrade was engaged in de-
moIishing this little band the young
man had slipped around the corner
and by a series of forced marches
reached Caracas, which was defended
only by a handful of troops. The
young man coolly marched in, took
possession of the capital and pro-
aimed himself dictator. He has been
ctator ever since. His name is Cipri-
ano Castro.
Such was the rise to fame of the
man who has involved Venezuela in
most variegated lot of trouble with
European nations. From obscurity
and poverty he has risen with meteor1c
rapidity to worldwide fame and to
the possession of great wealth. For
more than three years he has ruled his
turbulent republic with autocratlc
sway, almost constantly busy in crush
ing revolts and all the time more or
less at odds with powerful nations
across the sea. And today he is but
ferty-seven years of age.
Castro is not, as are so many South
and Central American chief executives,
of almost wholly unmixed Spanish
blood. In fact. there is very little. II

the same is equally true or Nenezueiii
The people dearly love n revolution,
dearly love to overturn one president
who is usually dictator-and seat an
other in his place. The country is full
of scheming politicians and soldiers of
fortune, and the result is that there is
hardly time when revolution is not
either in progress or being fomented
For years past, too. Venezuela and her
neighbor, Colombia, have been at odds,
and war has been repeatedly threat
ened. OF late the tension has been par
ticularly keen because. Castro has been
ambitious to unite Venezuela, Colom-
bia, Ecuador and one or two other
countries in Il grand confederation to
be called the United States of South
America and become president of the
new aggregation Of states.

| has met with opposition in carrying
t this plan.
He is surrounded by enemies. When
he first appeared as dictator, they called
| him Gel Mono de los Andes" This was
impolite. The phrase means 1.-The Mon
key of the Andes" Later he has been
called 1.-The Clown of Mira Flores" the
| latter being the name of the new gov
eminent palace at Caracas.
In his capital Castro works as silent
" as a servant in rubber shoes. He
moves in the darkness, stealthiIy, as
one whose intent may be challenged.
He is a bat among the people. Sooner
or later he must follow one or another
of his predecessors Guzman Blanco,
who died wealthy in Paris; Crespo,
who was shot in battle; Andrade, who,
having escaped through the back door
of the palace as Castro and his soldiers
crashed in at the front, fed to Barba-
dos on Venezuela's only gunboat and
then, with infinite courtesy. sent the
boat back to Castro with a note say
ing 81 return you the navy; you may
need it yourself"
Castros aspirations lean rather to
the Blanco method of exit and to a
1
tell of frequent shipments of gold sent
abroad by the thrifty president.
In the heart of the capital city there
is a palace which has an extension built
entirely of steel. The house is called
Mira Flores and was the residence of
Crespo when that fighting general was
president. The steel extension was not
built with the forethought of fire; it is
earthquake proof
That the steel house is bullet proof is
an added point of merit in the dicta-
tors eyes. That which Castro most
fears is not earthquake, not nature, but
humankind. Richard Harding Davis
tells an anecdote of Castro in connec-
ton with this steel house.
1.-The president is good fellow"
says Davis, land the type of a fighter
General Funston represents in this
country He is a great admirer of
President Roosevelt, whose rough rid
ers he is never tired of hearing about,
imagining them like his own troops
which rode across the state. He want
ed me to tell President Roosevelt that
if the United States ever went to war
he should come to Washington and Of
fer his sword in our service. An anus
ing thing happened in his household
the other day. Some time ago he built
himself a fine palace and put in it an
all steel room, decorated by French
artists and costing $4,000, to take ref
uge in during earthquakes. Three
weeks ago there was an earthquake,

In the first pace. no country in Eu-
rope can have so little excuse for inter
meddling with the affairs of South
America as Great Britain. for it was
the initiative of the government of
Great Britain that prompted the dec
laration that European powers must
keep to their own side of the Atlantic
and allow Americans to rule America.
Richard Rush of Philadelphia was in
the year 1923 American minister to
London. He relates a conversation
which took place between Mr.. Canning
and himself on the 10th of August,
1923. upon this subject. Mr.. Rush
states that he inferred from Il remark
of Mr.. Canning. and so Informed him,
that England would not remain passive
if France should attempt TO seize the
recently liberated South American col
onies. Mr. Canning replied by asking
what 1 thought my government would
say TO going hand in hand with Eng
land in such n policy" 4 formal agree
ment, he thought, would not be neces-
sary and that it would be sufficient to
have it known that they held the same
opinion on the subject, TO pnt down the
intention on the part of France if she
entertained it Mr. Rush waived 4 di-
rect answer and said that he would
communicate the suggestion to his gov
eminent. This was the entering wedge.
On the 22d of the same month Mr..
Canning renewed the subject. He ask
ed if the moment had not arrived when
our two governments might understand
each other as to the Spanish-American
4TasaT. Al
not be expedient for ourselves and ben
eficial for all the world that our princi-
pies in regard to them should be settled
and avowed. These principles We're
briefly set forth on England's part as
follows:
F,irst.-She conceived the recovery Of
the colonies by Spain to be hopeless.
Second.-That the question Of their
recognition as independent states was
one of time and circumstances.
Third.-That England was not dis
posed, however. to throw any impedi-
ment in the way of an arrangement be-
tween the colonies and mother country
by amicable negotiation.
Fourth.-That she aimed at the pos
session of no portion of the colonies her.
self
Fifth.-That she could not see the
transfer of any portion of them to any
other power with indifference.
On the following day Mr.. Rush gave
a written answer to Mr.. Canning, in
which he cordially responded TO every
statement and sentiment, including a
disclaimer of any purpose or wish on
the part of the United States to possess
any of the South American countries,
but said that he was not authorized to
declare in what manner his government
might deem it most expedient to avow
these principles or to express its disap-
probation of The exceptional projects al
luded to. He informed Mr. Canning
that he would promptly make known to
the =president these .YieWs-and princl-

us in one of those "entangling ALI
ances' which had been the bette noirei
of the farseeing trainers of our con-.
stitution.
AS Mr.. Adams was the secretary of
state, the conduct of the negotiations
| had naturally been largely in his hands,
and to him was eventually delegated
the task of preparing the portion of the,
presidents Forthcoming message de-
voted to cisatlantic affairs.
When the draft of this section of
the message was submitted 10 Mr.
Monroe, he objected to the exact text
on the ground that the position of the,
United States was too strongly stated
Mr.. Adams declared that it was impos-I
sible to put it too forcefully; that a;
firm definition of our position at that
time would prevent untold trouble in
the future. Influenced by tie earnest-l
ness of Mr.. Adams and doubtless also
by the fact that the other members of.
the cabinet sided with the secretary Of
state, Mr.. Monroe finally yielded.
That portion of Mr.. Monroe's mes
sage which has come TO be known as
the doctrine was as follows:
I'VE owe it, therefore, TO candor and.
tween the United States and those
powers [any European powerI to de-
clare that we should consider any at
tempt on their part to extend their,
system to any portion of this hemi-
sphere as dangerous to our peace and
safety With the existing colonies or
dependencies of any European power
we have not interfcred and shall not
Il, afrt
who have declared their independence
and maintained it, and whose indie
pendence we have on great considera-,
ton and on just principles acknowl-
edged, we could not view any interpo-,
sition for the purpose of expressing
them or controlling in any other man
ner their destiny by any European
power in any other light than as the
manifestation of an unfriendly disposi-l
ton toward the United States"
Upon only two occasions before the
present one has the principle of the
Monroe doctrine been dangerously
trenched upon. The first trouble occur
red during Mr.. Cleveland's second term
as president. 1t arose over dispute as
to the boundary line between Venezue-i
la and British Guiana. England's at
titude had become very aggressive, and
it was certain that unless interfered
with she would attempt to enforce her
alleged territorial rights. Then Presi-
dent Cleveland stepped in and announc-
ed that the United States would ascer-
tain the location of the true boundary
line and would then resist by every
means in its power, as willfuI aggres-
sion upon its rights and interests, the
appropriation by Great Britain of any
lands or the exercise of governmental
Jurisdiction over any territory which,
after investigation. we have determined
of right to belong to VenezueIa."

In Venezuela Castro has under his
sway about 100000 people. scattered
over an area of 593,943 square miles
The population is of the same charac-
ter as in Colombia and Ecuador-a
mixture of Indians, Spanish, half
breeds and negroes, though the mix
ture of Indian blood with the Spanish
is not so great as it is in Colombia. In
the latter country the Indian blood is
very prominent, and its possessors. so
far from seeking TO conceal the fact,
are rather proud of it.
The people of these countries are
fighters in their irregular way, but the
most sturdy and the best soldiers in
Venezuela are the COW punchers of the
llanos, great plains like the plains o.
our west, and in Colombia the little
Indians from Cauca are as brave and
as fond of tumult and battle as they
are Undisciplined and hard to control.
