Caracas. April 3.-President Castro said this

Of American-VenezueIan affairs and felt sure
that there would be difficulty between the
two nations, the American government and
people were beginning to understand the true
situation.
The President pointed out that the courts de-

had now been published for the information OF
the world. and similarly the pending asphalt
company cases should be allowed to take their
course in the local courts. stipulated IN the
contracts.
The President added that Venezuela welcomed
American capital. and while his government in
sisted upon foreigners living up to their con-
tracts, II would also prove that the Venezuelan
courts would assure guarantees to legitimate
foreign enterprises.
The President further confirmed the cable an

CUBA MAKING PROGRESS.
Treasury Gains evcer Pupils in
Schools Tribute to america.

Havana. April 9-The seventh session OF the
Cuban Congress began to-day. President Palma's
message cOngratuates the country the con
tinuance OF order and the fact that there have
been no untoward incidents beyond those ordinar-
lily dealt with by the courts. Notwithstanding the
great movement to Cuba OF workers in the sugar
and other industries the tranquility in the country
districts is absolute. not only on account Of the
confidence established by the Rurales. but because
of the respect of the people Tor the law and nsti
buttons of the government The message is OPP
timstic the only decided complaint being with
reference to the diminution Of attendance at the
public schools which in the last four months of
year was 400 below the corresponding period
of 1903. President Palma characterizes this as an
alarming deficiency. and he suggests the adoption
of strong measures. He urges general reforma-
ton of local school boards
Referring to the adjournment OF the United
States Congress without confirming the Isle Of
Pines treaty. President Palma says:
Nevertheless knowing as We all know the es-
sentialIy moral character of the American people
and the unexampled Observation-Disclosures with which
they gave aid SO that Cuba could be constituted
an independent nation. there is no reason for
high body. inspired always by the spirit OF jus

The message outlines the increasingly fine fnan-

in 1904 was Ss2 zOOO and exports $sS7S0OO an Ia
crease in imports Of $15,764O0O. and in exports Of
S1 1872 900 over 1908. President Palma states that
the increase in imports from the United States
shows mutually beneficial results Of reciprocity.
and adds:
While in 1908 the United States sold Cuba 405 per
cent all her imports, in 1904 she sold her so per
cent thereof. in 1904 the United States bought 81
per cent of Cuba's exports, making the gain in
Cubas exports TO the United states 50 10000 The

TIE financial condition is most satisfactory.
The annual death rate in 1904 Of 1880 thousand
is said to be highly satisfactory, compared with
other countries. The birth rate was 34F thou
sand. The fact that no contagious diseases have
developed and the declarations Of the American
Public Health Association, the message says. did
much annul the effects of sensational statements
published in NeW-York with reference to Cuba's
sanitary condition. The President recommends
greater concentration in the sanitary and charity
departments under the control or the ceatral
thCritieS.
