Castro's Answer.

The Venezuelan governments answer,
rendered March %, amounted to a re-
lection of the ultimatum for il denied
that Venezuela had any questions
pending with the United States, and
propounded the following Interrogation
Before giving further consideration
to Mr. Hays note the Venezuelan gov
eminent states that il must know
whether the United States respects the
methods and nobility of the Venezue-
lans.''
Mr.. Bowen adds that the answer is
unyielding and requires no further Ill
tirnatum.
Perhaps the explanation for the rath-
err defiant attitude which the Fenezue-
Ian government occupies to this day,
so far as the official correspondence
shows, is to be found in a paraphrase
of a telegram from Minister Brown TO
the secretary of state reporting that
Senior Jesus Paul, President Castros
private representative, who vas then
in Washington, actively clltivating
public sentiment in this country, ad-
verse to the asphalt claims, had caa.ed
to President Castro that the
United States government would not
answer Mr.. Bowen or, if it did, would
give him concilistory instructions.

Anxious to Make Statement.

From a suggestion made by Mr.. Hart
ridge it is evident that both Thaw and
mis- wife are anxious to make some kind
of a statement. for the new chief eOun-
sci said that among other plans he had
in mind was one providing that Harry
and Mrs Harry Thaw should write out
for him whatever they think or feel that
the newspapers should know, and h6
would pass on the articles. and Il he ap-
proved them would give them out to the
newspaper men. 1t is known 10 thOsa
who have talked TO ThaW and his VITA
that there are several subjects on which
both wish TO speak, but their lips hays
been sealed by their counsel These sun
jects deal in good part with their early
life and family relations.
Mr. Hartridge refused to give a hint as
to the line the defense would take.
1T will be months before the case Will
be brought up for trial, anyway" he said.
Il do not look for the trial before Novem~
ber or more probably December"

Washington, July 15.-In view Of the
determination Of the state department
to renew its demands upon the Vene-

dated March 10 Of that year:
Bowen's instructions.
THE attitude of the Venezuelan gov
eminent toward the government of the
United States and toward the interests
of its citizens, who have suffered so
grave and frequent wrongs arbitrarily
committed by the government of Ven
ezuela require that justice should now
be fully done, once for all. If the gov
eminent of Venezuela declines to con-
sent to an impartial arbitration insur-
ing the rendition of complete justice to
these injured parties the government
of the United States may be regret
fully compelled to take such measures
as it may find necessary to effect COM

ton. The government Of the United
States stands committed to the prin-
.ciple of impartial arbitration which can
