WASHINGTON. March 25.-Simuitane-
GUS with the signing OF the German
Anglo-Venezuelan agreement, whereby
President Castro prefers his European
creditors and gives them ample pro-
lection by signing away a part OF his
country's revenue, the chief executive
of Venezuela has notified the United
States in an insulting note h a he will
not arbitrate any Of the questions
pending between this country and the
South American Republic.
Minister Bowen does not report that
he has been dismissed from Venezuela,
but his relations are SO strained that
his recall is expected.
Castro's note was considered at the
meeting of the cabinet, having been
received by Secretary Of War Taft,
who in the absence of Secretary Of
State Hay is at the head Of the latter
department.
Worried by the growing prospects of
trouble in Venezuela, the state depart
ment recently instructed Minister
Bowen, at Caracas, to notify Castro that
an international court must settle
pending misunderstanding. In the
event of a refusal he was informed
that the United States would feel free
to act"
The administration denied that the
communication was an ultimatum but
foreign diplomats took it as such.
President Castro is said to have re-
garded it in a similar light.
His refusal is not a surprise at
Washington, however. The general
opinion is that, in pledging a large
part of the Venezuelan revenues to En-
gland and Germany, he sought to gain
friends who will resist any attempt by
the United States to coerce him.
The refusal of Americas demand was
fiat and unqualified. Castro denies that
Venezuela has any pending misunder-
standings which require arbitration. If
such exists, he adds, the Venezuelan
courts will settle them.
