90 or 10000 people. The total Of the
cable from San Francisco 10 Manila
will be G.S7i miles. plus 10 per cent

tour OF the uneven sea bottom. or T..
COS miles In all. This will be tho

CASTRO AN INDIAN.


ne Rose Suddenly Prom Magistrate to
the Presidency.
Passargo. the noted traveller. who
has Just returned TO Berlin from Ven.
czuela. says; President Castro is a
fullblood Indian. and an energetic
man. without political wisdom. He
rose suddenly from magistrate OF n
remote village at the foot OF tho An.
des 10 the presidency. and his rapid
rise made him overconndent. The
present situation is due 20 two facts:
Germany suddenly suspended the
pressure of the early part OF the year
which diminished the respect in
which she was held by President Cas-
tro; secondly. the attitude OF the OF.
flcials OF the great Venezuelan rail.
road toward President Castro. Ger.
many's FIRST principle must be not TO
NEEDLE In the internal affairs OF Ven.
ezuela, but the railroad officials forget
this. DR.. Passargo describes the state
as drifting TO certain decay. and as
following n steadily downward course
since General Blanco's presidency.
The color question plays an important
role In political tendencies The mixed
negroes and Indians. etc, are getting
the upper hand In society and politics.
