There is much discussion as to whether
the liberal leaders are privately In sym

of the party is openly revolutionary and its
members predict trouble elsewhere The
prediction, however, is not generally cred

Gen. Baza and other liberal and former
revolutionary generals sent letters to the
afternoon newspapers today strongly de-

10 personally assist in capturing the guilty
persons.
There Is some evidence of the color line
being drawn in political party questions,

Venezuelan Commerce.
)0NE DURING MAT0s REVOLT

WILEEMSTAD, ISLAND OF CURACAO,
February 26.-It is learned from officia!
sources at Caracas, Venezuela, that Presi-
dent Castro's next move in the French
question will be to call upon the United
States to arbitrate the question Of the
amount of damage done by France in per-
mitting the fitting out Of the filibustering
steamer Ban Righ at Fort De France,
Island of Martinique to prey upon Vene-
zuelan commerce and transport troops dur
ing the Matos revolt. The United States
claim against Great Britain in the case of
the Alabama will be cited precedent.
The Ban Righ. renamed successfully the
Ltbertador, Bolivar and President Mario
quin, appeared a Fort de France, Island OF
Martinique, later in December, 1901 where
she was taken possession of by a force of
Venezuelans commanded by Gen. Manuel
A. Matos the leader of the revolution,
against President Castro The latter had
with him a number of generals and other
important personages, who had Joined him
at Fort de France Besides these leaders
the Ban Righ also took on board three
volunteers, and it was understood that she
was to embark more troops later while on
her way to the Venezuelan coast.
While at Fort de France the Ban Righ
was practically converted into warship.
The Ban Righ sailed for Venezuela January
2 1902, and a few days later she was re-
ported to have captured the Venezuelan
warship Zumbador. later she was alleged
to have sunk the Venezuelan gunboat Gen.
Crespo and subsequently, she bombarded
some of the Venezuelan positions. Her
subsequent movements are not generally
known, beyond the fact that she landed her
passengers, arms and ammunition on the
coast of Venezuela and kept in touch with
1 4 e0tlansa
Matos revolution she was sold to Colombia.
Unnerved Over an Incident.

Caracas President Castro is greatly un-
nerved as the result of an unsuccessful at
tempt by an unknown person to poison
the Most Rev. DR.. Juan Bautfsta Castro,
archbishop of Venezuela, by putting nitrate
of silver in the communal wine on Sunday,

ton. The archbishop some time ago is
sued an encyclical rebuking the Venezuelan
clergy for their immortality. The attempt
on the archbishops life is generally at
