PROTEST TO CASTRO.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Ginister Bowen has In
formed the State Department that he has lodged
q strong protest with President Castro against the
action OF the Venezuelan government n seizng the
asphalt mines belonging 70 the New-York and Ber-
rnudez Company. The receiver IS said to be sup
ported by two Venezuelan warships IN his occupa-

Through unofficial sources II is learned that Presi-
dent Castros action IN regard 10 the asphalt COM
pany has been long considered II Is intimatet
that in the midst OF his last desperate struggle with
the rebels Castro made promises to certain persons

involve the transfer to these people CT concessions

OF these promises.
II is doubted whether this governments protest

arrival by mail OF detailed reports before proceed

been a miscarriage OF justice IN the Venezuelan

legal points involved II this case, and until the
