A VENEZUELAN

Iects 20 Ambassadors Motives

New York, Aug. ia memorandum

lister In Caracas, Venezuela, aud conf
dentially to the representatives Of all
the friendly powers cables the Herald
correspondent at Willemstadt, Curacao,
This memorandum was an answer TO
the note transmitted last Deem
Der by Ambassador YOU Holleben to the
United States government
The German note was not officially
known to President Castro until the
present time. The kalser's government
In that note Informed the United States
Of lis intention TO occupy Venezuelan
port in order TO enforce payment of the
German claims.
President Castro's official answer to
that note is regarded by members of
his government as a strong document.
He contends that Germany has not re-
spected Neneguela's right to legislate
both for Venezuelan citizens and for
foreigners residing In Venezuela.
Castro insists that the claims of the
Germans and other foreigners for their
damages during the civil wars should
be presented 10 and decided only by
Venezuelan courts.
Germany maintains that satisfaction
cannot be obtained In that way. owing
to the well known and peculiar oharac-
teristcs of Venezuelan courts, which are
President Castro's instruments.
The kalscrs government contends
that the claims should be settled by
conferences between German dlplo-
matte agent and the Venezuelan minis
ter of foreign affairs. and I'm case of
disagreement the matters should be re-
ferred TO The Hague internal court
OF arbitration.
President Castros memorandum de-
clares that the German claims have
been exaggerated, and contains a list
or references TO authorities on lnterna-
llonal law 10 support the governments
argument
Ii is declared that Germany has not
made a legal argument, but simply
series Of demands. TO the validity of
