LETTER FROM CASTRO.
Venezuelan President Defends His
General Policy.

Washington, Jan. 1.-President
Castro of Venezuela has written an
open letter, copies Of which have been
received by officials here, in which he
defends the general policy he has pur-
sued and throws considerable light on
his aspirations. An indirect allusion
Is made to the German affair in the
presidents appeal for united support
In defense of the fatherland The let
ter was in response to an application,
which was granted, for the release of
several journalists imprisoned at Cara
cas-. In the course of the letter Presi-
dent Castro says:
1T Is painful to observe that the
rashness OF some, the impatient ambi.
ton OF others, the mistaken criticism
of the leading classes and the obstina-
cy of the revolutionary spirit, have
sorely tried the virtues of my liberal
policy. At a time when have desired
to see the country happy and it's citi-
zens enjoying every comfort, I have
had the painful duty of adopting re-
pressive measures contrary to my
character my education and all my
sentiments.
IF the offenders In this case have
not succeeded In overthrowifig the gov
eminent, they have nevertheless con-
tributed to the propaganda which de-
lays the fruits Of peace and makes our
progress and our prosperity captive in
the clutches of the monster of civil
war. Our prosperity has been with
held through errors and entanglements
for which my government, is not re-
sponsible, but which claim IA prompt
and quick solution. In carrying out
this policy should have the support
Of all the citizens of Venezuela. be-
cause therein rests the sovereignty OF
the fatherland.
''It is my desire that you convey to
these Journalists. my wish to see them
again fulfilling their duties of party op-
position. desire that the press shall
bring all the charges It may have
against me (being confident that it's
judgment will not affect me.). I do
this in ,order to establish under our
republican system the absolute justiff-
cation OF my political purposes. I do
1t also because have no fear of an ad-
verse public Judgment upon my acts"

man-venezuelan Dispute.
New York, Jan. 1.-The outcome of
the dispute between Germany and Ven
ezuela, is regarded with anxiety in
England, cables the London CORE
spondent of The Tribune and consols,
which Mr.. Gladstone once described as
the most intelligent of all things IMAM
innate, fell three-sixteenths on appre-
hension as to the attitude that may be
adopted by America. There are at
least three railways in Venezuela
which have been constructed by Brit
ish capital and the English share
holders are watching with anxious in
terest for the sequel to the present
state of the country. The information
which is reaching London from the
of the various compan.
iessis of very scanty nature. So far,
it would seem, that the British prop
erty had not been seized, but it is
feared this immunity will not be long.
In Venezuelan circles in London,
President Castro is blamed for the
present disorders. He is charged with
eacrifcing the peace and prosperity of
his country to his own personal pride

OPINION CT LAY
COMMUNICATED TO GERMAN GOV

PROGRAMME.
STATE DEPARTMENT SILENT
Positively Declines to Make Public the
Memorandum or Its Substance, but
Basis of United States Representa-
Z tions Is in Presidents Utterances on
. Monroe Doctrine in His Message to
Congress.
Washington, Jan. 1.-Secretary
Hays view as to the proposed German
programme in Venezuela, was COM
municated to the German government
g the shape of written memorandum.
This supplemented verbal exchanges
that had taken place between
Ambassador Van Holleban and Presi-
dent Roosevelt directly and between
the ambassador and Secretary Hay at
great length. The state department.
positively declines to make public the
memorandum or it's substance, but it
Is pointed out again that the basis OF
the United States representations Is
to be looked for in the utterances OF
President Roosevelt in his annual mes
sage to congress touching the Monroe
doctrine in it's application to South
American countries which do not pay
their debts.
Nothing has been heard from Cara
sas to sustain the report that United
States Minister Bowen through urgent
representations, has induced a post
ponement of the execution of the Ger
man programme. 1t is certain that no
Instructions to that effect have been
given Mr.. Bowen though it is admitted
that it would be the duty of any Unit
ed States minister to exercise all of his
powers, within the lines of the general
policy Of the country, to prevent posi-
BILE bloodshed. Confirmatory evidence
Is had from unofficial sources of the
purpose of the German government at
least to delay action against Venezuela
until the issue of the present revolu-
tionary movement directed against
President Castro.

Injunction Against Northern Pacific
>-- Transferred,

Minneapolis, Jan. 1.-THE injunc.
ton proceedings against the Northern
Pacific road, started Monday in the
Hennepin county courts by Peter Pow,
ers of New York, have been removed
to the United States district court.
The opposing attorneys spent the
morning in arguing the various points
in the case before Judge Lochren.
Powers attorneys first asked for more
time to prepare their answer but this
was refused on the ground that the
case must be settled at once If the
stock is to be retired. Next they NOV
ed that the matter be remanded to the
Hennepin county district court, where
it originated After an hour and a
half of argument this too was denied
and the petition for the dissolution of
the Injunction was taken up on its
merits.
Mr.. Bum, attorney for, the Northern
Pacific railroad, made long argument
in which he made this significant state
ment: =
"Our friends across the table say
that there is a. plan here to turn the
Northern Pacific railroad over TO some
body else. That is utterly untrue. I
retirement of the preferred stock can
have no relation whatever to that part
of the Injunction. shall decline in
this case to enter any argument as to
antitrust laws or their violation. The
stock question can have no bearing on
that We do not object to that part
of the Injunction restraining the North
ern Pacific company from going into
an illegal corporation The part we do
object to is that section preventing us
from retiring the preferred stock as we
have right to do" 81
Upon the conclusion Of Mr.. Bunn's
argument the court took a recess for
dinner.
During the afternoon the attorneys
for Powers argued against, the quash-
ing OF the injunction.
