by the rushing train jerked the reins
and the horse stopped, leaving the rig
squarely in the middle of the track.

CASTRO WILL
NOT GIVE IN
Venezuelan President Says the COun-
try Will Protect lis In
tvreStS.
BLOCKADE MAY Be ESTABLISHED.

Caracas, Venezuela, Dec. 10.-Presi-
jent Castro received the newspaper
correspondents at the palace Tuesday.
In reply to questions the president of
Venezuela said:
THE Venezuelan government has
not received any ultmatum, properly
speaking, but rather simultaneous re-
quests from Great Britain and Ger
many. The claims Great Britain asks
this government to settle are small
and up to the present time we have
not been aware of them. Never hav-
ing been presented, Venezuela has
correctly never refused to settle them.
Great Britain's action therefore is
without justification.
"The Venezuelan government can
not decide on foreign claims before
the revolution has been entirely
crushed At present the only aim of
the government Is the re-establish .
ment of public order and other ques-
tions must necessarily be subservient
to this object Nevertheless. to prove
Venezuela's desire to settle all pend
ing claims in a comfortable manner,
the government issued decree dur
ing the last session of congress, dated
Nov. 49, creating committee to
which all pending claims should be
referred. No claims have been npresent-
cd to this commission and no claims
have been rejected. There has been
no denial of justice; why, then, should
foreign chancellories intervene, there
by ignoring our laws and endeavor-
ing to violate our national sovereign
ty? We cannot understand this ac.
ton"
What do you intend to do in view
of the present attitude of the pow
ers?" was asked
"Inforce our rights" replied Presi-
dent Castro, "and explain to the
world that Venezuela has laws and
prove that we have never denied our
engagements"
The president was asked what reply
the Venezuelan government will make
to the requests handed in by the Ger
man and British ENJOYS. To this he
replied, after reflection
"The Venezuelan government is as
tonished that after the notes which
were transmitted to 1t by the diplo-
matte representatives Of Germany and
Great Britain these envoys should
leave Caracas without awaiting the
reply of the Venezuelan government /"
Questions as to what course he in :
tended to pursue should the powers
declare a blockade, the president ex
cused himself from answering.
Should Venezuela refuse or fail to
reply to the notes of the foreign pow
ors, 1t is believed that an ultimatum
will be delivered This ultimatum
probably would be transmitted by
Admiral Douglas, commanding the
combined British and German Neets,
or by captain of the British cruiser
Rctibution.
