CASTRO RESIGNS OFFICE
R~elinquishes Venezuelan Presidency in
Message to Congress
MOVE BELIEVED TO Be GIGANTIC BLUFF
Brother to Keep Seat Warm TIL FOr-
eign Complications Blow over and
Then Present Executive
Will he Reelected.

CARACAS, March 21.-President Castro
today rendered his resignation to the Ven
ezuelan congress. He only returned TO the
capitol last night q from ehis campaign
against the rebels and only this morning
he officially resumed his full powers tenn
porarily delegated to the vice president
during his absence.
In his message to congress this afternoon
he again relinquishes his powers, this time
permanently. handing over the presidential
functions to the president of congress. The
announcement came as q complete sur
prise to all.
WASHINGTON, March 2l.-secretary Hay
tonight received a dispatch from MIR. Rus
sell at Caracas, confirming the report Of
President Castro's resignation. but stating
that he doubted II the Venezuelan congress
would accept it.
General Velutini, a somewhat famous
Venezuelan refugee, said tonight
that this move on the part of
President Castro has long. been con-
templated. Representations were made to
him several months ago that his resigna-
ton would enable the Venezuelans to pre-
sent a solid front to the world in the con-
troyersy with the several powers.
The statement is made therefore that the
resignation is the result Of a secret agree
ment by which President Castro should
temporarily %relinquish his ofice pending
the adjustment Of the matters which Min
lister Bowen has in hand. In the meantime
the Office will be kept within the family
by an arrangement to make Castro's
brother vice. president, so that he would
succeed to the presidency. At the next
election Castro is TO be reelected.
In the ordinary course of events Presi-
dent Castro's term would have ended on
February 20, 1908.
