FRANCE SENDS FLEET
TO FORCE CASTRO.
United States Gives Consent for
Enforcement Of Venezuelan
Demands.
Demands.

Washington, Oct, 30.-An under
standing has been reached between
the French and American Govern
ments by which a French feet shall
proceed to Venezuelan to protect the
interests OF Frenchmen who have
been jeopardized since the seizure Of
the property Of the French Gable Co.
There will be no cooperation be-
tween the two Governments, as the
United States is confident 1t can set
tie its claims through diplomatic
channels.
The situation relating to France,
however, is more serious, as the
Venezuelan Government has not only
confiscated the property of French
citizens, but it has refused to have
any communication with the French
diplomatic representatives at Cara
cas-.
President Roosevelt regrets that
1t is necessary for France to send 9
fleet, but after having the situatiol
laid before him, he decided that thii
Government could not with propriety
object to the French nation giving
protection to its citizens. The French
Ambassador was informed that this
Government will not consent to an.
section which will be in violation o
the Monroe Doctrine. This meanl
that there shall be no occupation o
Venezuela territory.
