Washington to present to the Presi-
dent his letter of recall probably no later
than May. Minister Won Sternberg. ac-
cording to the governments intention,
will succeed Immediately to the ambas-
sadorship.
Chancellor Won Buelow's firm support
of Minister Won Sternberg in the Reich
stag Thursday is taken publicly to mean
that Won Sternberg continues to stand
first in the governments eye for the
succession which the Associated Press
correspondent learns is fact Never
theless Won Sternberg's i'll wishers in
the German diplomatic service have been
quietly trying to make the foreign office
think he is not the man for the place
This idea has not found Judgement there
The changes in the staff of the embassy
at Washington are the result of an inn
preston that Won Sternberg is not cor
daily supported. 1t is recognized here
that his position will continue to be en-
barrassing and irregular until he sue
ceeded to the rank as we'll as the func-

A COUP BY CASTRO
NominaIIy Resigns That His
People May Present a
Solid Front.
(By the Associated Press.l

Caracas March 21.-President Castro
has resigned. He placed his resignation
of the presidency of the republic of
Venezuela in the hands of the President
OF Congress after reading the presidential
message today. Senator Castro then hand
ed over the exercise of the presidential
functions to him.
Washington, ID. c., March 21-The first
intimation received by Secretary Hay of
President Castros resignation was given
him by the Associated Press dispatch
announcing the fact. He would not dis
cuss the matter, however, beyond stat
ing that the news was unexpected.
Herbert w, Bowen, Venezuelas pleni-
potentiary here, likewise had not been
Informed until shown the dispatch Until
officially advised he said he would be
unable to give expression to any views on
the subject. From authoritative quarters
it was learned that this move Of
President Castro has long been contem-
plated. Representations were made to
him several months ago by the leaders
Of Venezuela that has resignation would
have the effect of enabling the people
of that country to present a solid front
TO the world in the matters in cOntro-
versy with the several powers. The state
ments was made that the resignation is
the result of a secret agreement with
the leaders referred to that Presi-
dent Castro should temporarily reln-
quish his office pending the adjustment
of the matters which Minister Bowen has
liz hand. 1t was intimated by the Asso-
ciated Press information that while Pres
ident Castro nomnally gives up his office
it is the intention to keep it within the
family by an arrangement to make Cas-
tro's brother vice-president, so that he
would succeed to the presidency. 1t is
the belief, here, based on information
which has been up to now kept inviolate
that the plan is to allow President Castro
to remain out of office for a short time
and the reelection of him at the next
election.
Secretary Hay tonight received dis
patch from Mr. Russell, the United States
charge at Caracas. confirming the report
of President Castros resignation, hut
stating that he doubted II the Venezue-
Ian Congress would accept it.
Up to a late hour tonight Mr.. Bowen
had not been advised officially of Presi-
dent Castro's resignation. Mr.. Bowen
said tonight that he saw no reason why
the resignation should have any effect on
the present negotiations.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND
The Governments Plan Of Brining in Bill Pro-

Situation.

London, England, March 21.-The an
nouneement that the government con
templates bringing in a bill providing a
modified form of home rule for Ireland
complexities the present situation. which
already presents an extraordinary mud
die. No measure of home rule can be
brought before Parliament this year and
the Irish secretary, Mr.. Wyndham, is
OF such a plan. Any denial, however
can be regarded as mere political eva
sion due to the governments desire not
TO arouse further opposition among it's
own supporters until the Irish land pur-
chase bill is safely passed, which is not
expected until September. The provis
ions of The latter measure are still kept
absolutely secret and will not be re-
vealed until March 25 when the bill Will
be brought in. The Nationalist mem
bers of Parliament and the Irish Union
lists, including Lord Dunrayen, continue
hopeful that ii will or indeed that it
must contain proposals which will in
some degree meet the demands of united
Ireland
The Nationalist leaders refrain from
making any comment and publicly make
light of their now continuous support
of Premier Balfour The rank and file
however. do not hesitate to point out
that the government is now at their
mercy and that the ministry would twice
have been defeated this session. thanks
to the vigorous attacks of the fourth
party and the large absence of its nomi-
nal supporters from voting. had the Ma
tonalists voted as they have done for
years with the opposition.
The alliance of the government with
the Irish has caused intense indignation
among many members Of the Conserva-
tive party, who however. so far have not
publicly expressed their disapproval. 1t
has also caused keen apprehension among
the Liberal forces. who have been put in
n fresh dilemma by the action of r. w.
Perks. Liberal. who practically controls
the non Conformist vote in England aud
who is Lord Rosebery's chief henchman
in the House of Commons, in issuing
manifesto declaring that the Liberal
leaders must now choose between the
Irish or non Conformist alliance. He ad-
vises his fellow non Conformists not to
vote for the Liberal candidate at the
forthcoming bye-election in the Chertzv
division of Surrey Mr.. Perks has thus
placed Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman
the Liberal leader in a dilemma compared
with which even the recent successes of
the Liberals at the polls are unimportant
and has added another to the many con-
fusing issues which are rapidly breaking
up the long established party distinctions
on both sides of the House.
