FRANCE INSISTS
ON AN APOLOGY
WARsHIPs OFF VENEZUELAN
COAST TO MAKE A DEM
oNsTRATIoN.
NOW, TURNS IRE ON RUSSELL
CASTRO UGLY TO AMERICAN
MINISTER - BIG STICK
is READY.

Washington, Jan 21-Three French
warships are now off the Venezuelan
coast, prepared to deliver the answer
of France to President Castro's treat
ment of M. Taigny, the French rep
resentative at Caracas, by a nava
demonstration in Venezuelan waters
Two additional warships will joi1
trip across the Atlantic. Until the
demonstration has been initiated the
French government will share witt
the President and Secretary Root the
knowledge of the exact form which
this expression of displeasure at Pres
ident Castro's action will take.
Turns Ire on Russell.
Meantime, the delicacy of the stu
alton at Caracas is greatly increased
by news which has recently reached
garding the attitude President Cas-
tro now appears to be assuming to-
ward Mr.. Russell, the American min
lister. Unless this attitude is radically
modified it may be necessary to dis
patch an American warship even
nearer the Venezuelan coast than has
already been planned. President
Castro, it is said, will be given to I'M
derstand that any treatment of an
American representative such as that
accorded to M. Taigny
Will Not Be Tolerated
by the Washington government. The
only cause which can be assigned
here for President Castro's GOODNESS
toward Mr. Russell is that the former
insists upon regarding as personal
rather than official the efforts which
Mr.. Russell, acting under instructions
from Washington, has made to assist
a peaceful settlement of the Franco
Venezuelan troubles. The request of
the French government that its in
terests in Venezuela be looked after
by Mr.. Russell was Immediately grant
ed for the reason that such request
is invariably granted by a friendly
power, however difficult the task.
France Demands Apology.
France has adopted simple pro-
gram for her treatment of the Ven
ezuelan situation. 1t provides for an
and comprehensive apol
ogy by President Castro for his treat
ment of M. Taigny, which treatment
the Paris officials regard as insult
ing" and 'tintolerable" Until this
apology is made discussion of the
claims and other grievances which
France has against Venezuela will be
withheld.
The French government regards the
action Of President Castro's agents in
La Guayra in refusing to permit NJ
Taigny to return ashore after he had
boarded French liner, as an act Of
war.
