CASTRO TIES JOB DOWN
RULES STATE BY, PROXY.
VeneSuela's Head Remo0es Tempta-
ton from Ambitious Vice-President.

More light was thrown yesterday the
ported retirement of General Cipriano Castro
from the Presidency of Venezuela and reveals
an amusing situation. His retirement is moth
ing more than three months vacation at Mar
acay, in the State of Aragua, which is about six
hours by rail from Caracas.
The laws of Venezuela provide that when the
President leaves the federal district he must
designate as his temporary successor the First
Vice President General Juan Vicente Gomez.
who now holds the latter Office is fighter. He
is also an ambitious man. Bearing these tSerngs
in mind, Castro had the federal district
iarged that he could travel outside OF Caracas
without the need Of having General Gomez in
charge. NO sudden revolutions or coup d'etat
for me-" quoth Castro. But General Gomez is
also sensitive person, and complained that his
chief had not sufficient confidence in him.
-Surest thing you know" said the President.
"Espera."
Gomez waited, and his reward has come by
being designated as "El Presidente Provisional
de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela" Under
ordinary circumstances that would be title
enough TO satisfy any patriot
Before, however Castro clothed Gomez with
this brief authority he arranged that the latter
would play pranks that mayhap would cause
the man higher up to weep.
Castro ruminated something like this: EN-
ward has his naval reviews and now it's up
to me. l have army man9uvres for mine"
And suiting the action to the word Castro
sent the troops in and near Caracas with the
exception of regiment, ahead of him to
Maracay. With the army he sent several gem
erals who are friendly to General Gomez Then
he appointed General Salvador Araujo, one of
his intimates, as "commandante de armas" in
Caracas If General Gomez has enemy in
Venezuela he is General Araujo.
According to mail adViceS from Caracas, Cas-
tro called Araujo to Miraticres and spoke to him
something like this:
Salvador, my trusted friend, I am going
away from here. / leave my destiny in your
hands also this key to the arsenal. Hang it
about your neck, and don't loan it TO Gomez
The Battalion Castro all tried men and true
from my native state, Los Andes. will be your
command. Remember, General Araujo, Gomez
is henceforth President, but Oh pshaW
know-youre the job"
Thereupon Castro retired from the presidency
and rode forth from Caracas amid the roar of
the cannon while the people cheered and
shouted, We'll you later" and the bands
PLAYED ''Viva. Bravo, Castro" and I'VE Don [
care if You Never Come Back"
