AFTER FRENCH cABLE.
President Castro of Venezuela Orders
Seizure of Property of For
eign Concern,

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, March
Is. - Advices received here from Cara
cas-, Venezuela, announce that the hear
ing of the appeal of the New York and
Bermudez Asphalt company against thu
sequestration of it's property by the gov
eminent of Venezuela has been adj
Journed to make way for the action of
the Venezuelan government against tho
French Cable company. 1t is alleged
that President Castro has ordered the
court to render judgment annulling tho
contract and authorizing the seizure Of
the cable coMpany's property. The gov
erment has cut the coast cable east and
west of La Guayra to prevent commune
cation with the revolutionists, who are
active at Trinidad. The Europeans at
Caracas are excited.
Paris, March 15.-The reported action
of President Castro. of Venezuela, rela-
tive to the French Gable company has
caused surprise and considerable indig-
nation in official and cable circles here,
where the belief prevails that the situa-
ton may become serious if President
Castro has gone as far as reported. The
foreign office received dispatch from
Caracas indicating that the situation in
regard to the cable company was
strained, with the possibilities that rad
ical action might be taken. However,
neither the foreign Office nor the COM
pany were advised that the concession
had been annulled or that the cables had
been cut, and consequently they were
not prepared to say what would be done
if the cables are cut or other summary
action adopted, except that energetic
steps would be taken. 1t is the official
view that the company has carefully OBJ
served every rule of neutrality. No
thought yet has been given to the pos
sibility of using warships. but several
are available on the French West In
dian station should circumstances re-
quire their use.

seriously. Reenforcements were sent
for and on their arrival fusllade Of
