Movement of Troops in
Apparant Preparation

Willemstad, Island of CuraraO, Sept.
14.-From every section of Venezuela
troops were sent last week in the di-
rection of the Colombian frontier;
Mara racaibo-Maus rifles, artillery and
ammunition i'll great quantity have
been stored at MaracaibO, and several
new bridges have been built near San
CriStobal, near the frontier of ColOm-
bia, to allow of the rapid concentration
of troops. President Castro has asked
the president of each state in Venezue-
Ia to send two battalions within two
weeks. CaStrO'S pet idea, it is said, is
war with Colombia.
Two Views of the Movement.
A leading Venezuelan citizen who is
now here, in an interview regarding
these military movements in VeneZue-
Ia, said he believed they were only
precautionary measures regarding Co
lombia, which, now the country is free
from revolution, has reinforced recent
ly its army on the Venezuelan from
tier, near Cucuta. Other VenezuelanS
say Il Venezuelan war with Colom-
bia is inevitable in the near future, as
Il consequence of the sympathy PreSi-
dent Castro extended to the Colon
bian rebels during the recent rebel
lion and also because on the question
of navigation on the Orinoco.

report that the Venezuelan government
has refused up to now to pay its share
of the fees of the foreign umpires in
the matter of the claims against Vene-
zuela, amounting to 5000, and their
expenses. The conduct of President
Castro in such circumstances is mex.
plicable. 1t is understood that sever
al of the foreign umpires have referred
the matter to their governments, sug-
gesting that Washington should inter-
fere as being, in their view, morally
responsible for the Venezuelan govern
