CASTRO'S REPLY
WAS INS0LENT
Was Also Couched in Quite Vigorous
Language.
TAFT IS CONSIDERING 1T
TEXT OF THE NOTE NOT MADE
PUBLIC.

EEI ASHINGTON. April 12.-While the
Wv officials here decline to make pub
lie at this stage the text of Pres
ident Castro's reply TO Minister Bowen's
arbitration proposal, it may be stated
that there was nothing personal to the
American minister in President Castro's
statement. SO that if it should be even
tually held TO be undiplomatic and even
rude, then the injury will be sustained
by the state department rather than by
the minister. and therefore it is the
former alone that will be concerned.
Used Vigorous Language.
This is particularly true of an in
quiry from the Venezuelan government
as TO whether the United States pre-
sumed to question the integrity of the
Venezuelan courts, the inquiry being
CouChed i'm rather vigorous language.
1t also appears that there is an eN-
pressed disposition on the part of the
Venezuelan government to lOcalize the
issues by concentrating attention upon
the Olcott case, which was the subject
OF an arbitration in 1903, thus eVading
the attempt on the part of the state de
paTtment to rest its case principally on
the asphalt controversy.
The Asphalt Case.
AS a matter of fact, the state depart
ment has never been particularly siren
nous in its efforts TO force a settlement
Immediately on the OIcOtt case or any
other minor pending claims, being will
ing to allow all of these to be adjusted
at some future date through the usual
agency of an international mixed COM
mission, but it has pressed the asphalt
case principally because the eNneZUe-
Ian government in that matter may eS-
tablish a precedent that will invalidate
every foreign concession.
Reply Was Insolent.
The text of President CaStTO'S reply
TO Minister Bowen is now before Sec
rotary Taft, who has determined not to
send fl to the president. but TO take il
under consideration himself It is said
that the communication fills the de
scriptiOn conveyed by Minister Bowen
in his Cablegram as to the form of ex-
preston, which he declared to be in
solent.
