CASTRO NOT IN PORT.
Il Gathering of Tene@uel0n ConsHLs
at .S0ntGnder.

santander. Dec. S.-The steamer Guadeloupe,
on which President Castro is passenger was
not sighted tonight Many representatives OF
the Venezuelan government and foreign corre-
spondents are here awaiting the arrival Of the
President, who is expected to leave the steamer
here instead OF going to Bordeaux.
The Spanish government has not been officially
advised from Caracas that the President will
visit Spain. and. under the impression that ne
will only touch here his way TO Bordeaux
has instructed the local authorities to render
him military and civil port honors- The four
Venezuelan consuIs now in Santander. under in
structIou from Nicolas Eeloz-Goiticoa, Charge
d 'Afa1res az Berlin likewise in the dark as
to Castro's plans. Acting President Gomez has
communicated TO the Venezuelan representatives
abroad little beyond the fact that President
Castro was passenger on the Guadeloupe.
Late adviCes received tonight however, con
firm the statement that Castro is bound for
Berlin Il it was his intention to go TO Bor-
deeux 1t is now believed that he will change his
plans when he learns from the consuls that
France is arranging to exact an apology from
him before he can land. II is probable, there
fore that Castro will disembark here in order
TO avoid an unpleasant conflict with the French
authorities.
