ANSWER WHEN SHOWN DIS
PATCHES FROM HOME.

Berlin, Dec 17.-President Castro
of Venezuela maintains composure in
the face of alarming reports which
have been published here regarding
the disturbances in Venezuela. When
the dispatches were. shown to him
yesterday, that the people of Caracas
had arisen against him, burned the
pictures and statues of the president
in the public squares and had at
tackled a number of dwellings, includ-
ing the stores of several of his warm
est adherents, and that several per-
sons had been killed, Castro said
quietly:
Il do not believe it. l had dis
patches from Caracas this morning
but they mentioned nothing of the
kind"
Castro was asked for an express
sion of his views regarding Hollands
seizure of the Venezuelan ships, but
he answered:
am in Germany in a private ca
pacity."
He referred the correspondent to
Senior Veloz-Goiticoa, Venezuelan
charge d'affaires, whom he author
lied to talk for him and who ex-
pressed doubt as to the correctness
of the reports. He said no declara-
ton of war having been made the
seizure of the Venezuelan vessels
would be an act of piracy, and added,
that such a course would jeopardize
the arrangements Venezuela has pro-
posed to Holland. Besides, it might
place Venezuela in the position of
being unable to continue payments to
Holland and other nations
