FRANCE TO GET REDRESS.
No Hasty Action, but Satisfaction
To Be Obtained.

Paris. Jan. 24-MinsteriaI circles here are
much annoyed over the published reports rela-
tive to Frances alleged hesitation and nervous
ness regarding the Venezuelan question: high
Official Of the Foreign Office this morning pro-
tested energeticaIly against such statements
saying:
France has always been and still is deter
mined TO obtain the fullest satisfaction for past
and present affronts from Venezuela She will
select her own time for action ana VIII not SUR
UP the wasps' nest TO which Castro has shown
the way until her general policy leaves her free
TO do So France will not act at any ones bid
ding. She viii choose her own hour and mo-
ment and then act as beseems her with absolute
resolve to have her rights respected
A blockade had not been ordered. the official
said.
Interest in the Venezuelan affair continues to
decrease. The press generally is OF the opinion
that the question must wait indefinitely. 1t is
pointed out that at the first sign OF active meas
ures on the part Of France President Castro
would do his utmost to conciliate the United
States, since he eutertains a lively fear of the
Americans, thus leaving France alone. A block
ade Of the coast it is added, would IN no way
affect Venezuela. since she is able to support
herself and can conduct her export trade by way
Of Colombia At the same time a blockade
might give Castro excuse to stop the pay
ment OF Venezuela's obligations to the other
powers, which are secured by the customs, thus
placing France in a delicate position toward the
powers
A dispatch from Lorient says that orders
have been given to the arsenal there to send
largs quantities Of ammunition 70 Fort de
France. Island OF Martinique.
General MatOs the former adversary OF
President Castro, in the course Of an interview
published here to-day, expressed the opinion
that serious complications would not ensue
from the present difficulties between France
and Venezuela. In case OF hostiIties, the gen
eral asserted. Venezuela could mobilize 100000
men, but he was certain that arrangement
was near at hand.
