L0nd's Claims Were Refused.

r,-,o,. nec a-Presdent Castro to-day said
n ran1v IN questions about the recent action of
England and Germany toward Venezuela: Inc
Venezuelan Government has not received any
ultimatum properly speaking, but rather'
simultaneous requests from Great Britain and
cernoanv The claims Great Britain asks this
government 10 settle are small, and up to the
present time ne have not been aware or them
As they have never been presented venezuela
has consouently never refused to settle them
Creat Brjtafn's action is, therefore, without
justification.
"The Venezuelan Government cannot decide
on foreign claims before the revolution has been
entirely crushed. AT present the only aim Oh
the government is the re-establishment or pup
liz order and other questions must necessarily
he subservient 10 this object Nevertheless 10
prove Venezueas desire TO settle all penang
claims in proper manner. the government
issued n decree at the last session of Congress.
dated November 2s, creating committee to
vbicb all nending claims should be referred
No claims have been presented to this commit
tee and no claims have been rejected lhere
has been no denial of justice. Why then' shouio
foreign chanceeries intervene. thereby ignoring
our laws and endeavoring TO violate our ma
tionaI sovereignty? We cannot understand this
action"

attitude or the po"eiS'
Castro was asked
He replied: Enforce our rights and explain
m the world that Venezuela has laws PROVE
that we have neyer denied our engagements.
The President was then asked what reply the
Venezuelan Government would make TO the re-
quests handed it by the German and british
ENJOYS. He said:
After reflection. the Venezuelan Government
ie astonished that after the notes Which "ere
transmitted to 1t by the diplomatic representa-
,tves of Germany and Great Britain these en-
VOWS should leave Caracas without awaiting the
renly of the Venezuelan Government
President Castro was next asked what course
ha intended TO pursue should the powers declare
a blockade He excused himself from answering
this question.
No formal ultimatum had been delivered TO the
ysnezueIan Government UP to O'Clock this
afternoon should Venezuela refuse or ran 10 re-

written on the record that is all can
do. but it is usually enough.
Youth as 4 Reason.
"A great number of young people
come out here to be married secretly
because they are not old enough to be
married in Washington. and they are
afraid their love will grow cold If they
have to wait a few years. Girls here
can be married when sixteen. That is
the Maryland law. and there is no rea-
sor why we should not issue licenses to
such couples. But the man must he
twen;y-one.
"A few months ago girl of eighteen
end youth Of twenty came out
from Washington to be married They
filed out half the legal blank, which
shall be completed when he comes of
age. When he said his age was twenty
l told him we couldn't issue the license.
He seemed very much disappointed and
went away, Dui lhc IldiutS "a
and his sweetheart still remain on cur
books. Some day. after they have each
married some one else, if they ever
do. they ought to come out here to Rock
willie and look at the record of what
they just escaped doing because of the
law"
The Rev. S. r. White, blacksmith
in ordinary at WashinGton's Gretna
Green, is pastor of the Bsptist church,
and secretary CT the school board He
has an office just few PAGES from the
room where the licenses are issued.
From time immsmorial. couples have
always asked hastily for the nearest
minister" This position none may dis
pute with DR.. White, unless the appli-
cant himself is a minister. Dr. Whites
home is but n few steps removed from
the Rockville abode of justice. SD that
when he vacates his Office he Is still
easily available.
Back in the years before the electric
cars were running, couples were wont
to eIope to Rockville. since it is the
largest town OF any Importance in Mary
