Caracas, Venezuela, April IA
president Castro will not withdraw
the New York and Bermudez AS
phalt company case from the Vene-
zuelan courts and will not resubmit
Olcott case to arbitration II the
whole American army and navy
come to Venezuela"
This Is the emphatic statement of
General Alexandra Ybarra. the Ven
ezuelan secretary of foreign affairs,
and reflects the spirits of the reply
which Castro made to the recent
proposal of the American state de-
partment for arbitration of the Ber-
mudez and Oleott cases.
II was generally rumored through
out Venezuela that the demand OF
the United States was little less than
Iltimatum to Castro and the reply
of the Venezuelan president was
awaited with interest. Predictions
OF Intervention following the refus-
al of Castro to yield were freely
made and there was much uneasl-
ness when 1t was announced that
Venezuela had not only refused the
demand to arbitrate the case. but
had supplemented its refusal with
a request that the United States de-
clare whether Il has any respect
for the sovereignty and courts OF
Venezuela.
II is emphatieally denied in Cas-
tro's reply that there are any claims
pending between the United States
and Venezuela.
Castro and his cabinet take the
ground that while the government
stands for the general principle OF
arbitration, II will not have a case
wrested from its courts to be car
ried before a board or arbitration.

FLEMING MAY
SUCCEED MORAN
Former Hospital Warden Is
Likely to- BE Secretary
of Civil Service Board
VACANCY TO BE FILLED
appointment. Seems Certain
Owing to Friendliness of
Mayor Schmitz and Ruef

There was a rumor around the City
Hall yesterday that Martin w. Fleming g
is very likely to be appointed secretary
Of the Civil Service Commission TO sue
ceed Edward Moran. who has been
finally settled upon for the vacancy
created on the board by Commissioner
Rogers resignation.
Fleming was recently ousted from
his position of Warden of the City and
which thus made permanent the sus-
pension of Fleming by DR.. James Ward,
president OF the board.
Fleming is very close to Mayor
Schmitz and Abe Ruef, who were much
surprised when the Health Board
adopted the resolution declaring Flem-
ings position vacant. Fleming saw
the Mayor the day after his suspension
and the Mayor stated afterward that
Fleming would be reinstated in a day
or two. Fleming was not reinstated
and now is out of a position.
The fact that Moran Will be promoted
TO a commissionership, as the Mayor
has already intimated. gives him an op-
portunity to take Fleming in out of the
cold. The salary of secretary of the
Civil Service Commission is $500 per
month, the same as that of Hospital
Warden.
The fact that Fleming stands well
with Ruef and Schmitz lends color to
the rumor that Fleming will be taken
care Of The Mayor himself says that
nothing will be done in the matter un-
iii after the primary election.
