Decidedly more active measures
against Venezuela were taken satur-
day, when the British and German
vessels at Puerto Cabello lombard
ed the fort and castle there. This was
the immediate result of a report by
the captain of the English merchant
vessel Topaz, TO the commander OF
the British warship Charybdls, that
his vessel had been seized and pillaged
by the Venczuelans.
President Castro is reported as feel
ing that the claims made against his
government are unjust. He is said to
have expressed himself on the subject
TO a correspondent as follows
From the notes transmitted to the
Venezuelan Government by the Min
listers Of Great Britain and Germany
it would appear that the subject OF
controversy on which our differences
have arisen is the recognition of GER
tain claims made against the Fene-
zuelan Government by subjects OF
Germany and Great Britain.
CLAIMS DON'T AMOUNT TO
MUCH.
Now, those claims do not aggre-
gate a very high figure. There is
certainly nothing III them to warrant
the summary action since taken.
1T is evident TO my mind, not only
from the manner in which the pro-
posal was framed. which the German
and British ministers presented, but
also from the hasty and violent action
taken Immediately thereafter, without
awaiting reply or vouchsaflnS time
for the framing of a resolution-lt is
clear to me- / say. that there was
special desire on the part OF Germany
and Great Britain not to reach an
aricaile solution of this question.
