CARACAS, Jan. 1.-The report current
in Willemstad, Curacao, that the govern
ment suffered a defeat in the recent fight
with the revolutionists at Barquisimeto is
untrue. The government was victorious
at Barquisimeto and that town, as well as
San Carlos and Tinaquillo, was recaptured
from the rebels as was duly reported in
these dispatches.
There have been persistent rumors in
official circles and generally through Car
acas since yesterday that President Castro
had refused to agree to the proposals of the
allies to refer the Venezuelan issues to
The Hague. The correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press saw the President of Ven
ezuela this afternoon. 1t is not true that
the President has declined the proposals
of the powers; the chief executive declares
he wants only fair treatment. 1t was clear
from what President Castro said at the
interview that he believes IL would be easy
to reach a full settlement of the entire con-
troversy.
President Castro said: IF settlement is
not reached it will be because a settlement
forms no part Of the plan of the allies; In
this case the prolongation of the present
situation would be disastrous for all con-
cerned. The solution of the present diff
Guilty depends more on the allied powers
than on Venezuela"
The President was then asked as to
whether he would renounce the presidency
and whether 1T was his purpose to make a
change in the present Cabinet. He replied
People are at liberty to talk whatever
change In the Cabinet when the present
serious question Is ended"
