REPORTS ANNOYING
A French Official in High Life Makes a Very Strong
 Protest.

Paris. Jan 24.-Ministerial circles here are much annoyed over the pub- lished reports relative to Frances al legged hesitation and nervousness re- garding the Venezuelan question. A highly placed official of the foreign of flee to-day protested energetically against the statements made on the subject, saying:
 France has always been and still is determined to obtain the fullest satisfaction for past and present af- fronts from Venezuela. She, however, will select her own time for action and will not stir 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 anyone's bidding. She will choose her own hour and moment and then act as beseems her with absolute resoive to have her rights respected"
 To a question whether, blockade had been ordered direct negative was given.
 Interest in the Venezuelan affair continues to decrease. The press geIl- erally is Of the opinion that the ques' tion must stand over Indefinitely. It is pointed out that at the first sign of active measures on the part of France President Castro would do his utmost to conciliate the United States, as he entertains lively fear of the Ameri- cans. thus leaving France alone. A blockade of the coast. it Is added, would in no way affect Venezuela as she is able to support herself and can conduct her export trade by way of Colombia. At the same time q block ade would give Castro an excuse to stop the payment of Venezuela's obli- cations to the other powers which are secured by the customs, thus placing France in delicate position towards the powers.
 General Mates. the former adversary of President Castro, in the course of an interview published nere to-day, expressed the opinion that serious complications would not cnsue from the present difficulties between France and Venezuela. He said lie consid- cred that President Castro has done great work for the pacification of Ven ezuela and held the complete conf dence of the people, which would be strengthened if the country was per suaded that there was no possibility of a conflict with France.
 Mates believes that with the assist ance of the United States war will De avoided. In case of nostilities. the general asserted, Venezuela could mo- bIlize 100000 men. but he was certain that an arrangement was near at band
