vision on the astral plane in which he

animals. Feeling old powers stirring

owing to the strenuous work which his
position exacts and which he has so sue
cessfully carried ON for tho past years.
The proclamation made by General Castro
may be briefly summarized as follows:

Venezuelans to support the government

that should his temporary separation

try he would willingly make his retire
ment permanent, II necessary.
The ministers and governor have pre-
sented their designations. as is usual so
as TO leave the new president the liberty
to select collaborators.

president since 1892 when he descended

The relations between Mr. Bowen. the
United states minister at Caracas and
Castro became so strained last year that
the minister asked to be recalled. Cas-

only a few weeks ago broke off diplomatic
relations with him and French interests
are now being watched by the United
