OId.Time Barbecue at Welsh Tuesday

Uu' iHt Dul DtCut at NtiSu 1HtSuHN.
An old fashioned barbecue was
helG here Tuesday in which practical
ly everybody that could, participated.
Clopha Benoit had charge of the
preparations aud the results showed
that he had not forgotten the scenes
of former days. A large number Of
the native population from the out
laying districts came in early and
eljoyed the feast to the limit. \
number of them were heard expressing
themselves as being glad that the
DAYS of the barbecue were not alto
gether passed. There is no doubt
that the barbecue was the means of
getting out much larger vote than
would have otherwise been Obtaina bic
as many came earl V for it that other
wise would have waited until the
afternoon and would not have come
at all on account OF the rain. The
barbecue addeo much also to the

CASTRO WILL GO TO EUROPE
WILL UNDERGO OPERATION By
SKILLED PHYSICIANS.
It Is Believed That He Will Depart
From La Guaira Tuesday.
Much Comment Here.

CARACAS, Venezuela, Wednesday, No
vember Is, via San Juan. Porto Rico
November 2I.-President Castro is about
to leave Venezuela for Europe, with the
purpose of under goins IN opei d. IN a.
the hands of skilled physicians. Prepa-
rations for his trip are now being made
This will be the first time the presl. ent
ever has left Venezuelan territory, barring
a few trips into Colombia.
There is reason to believe that the
president contemplates leaving La Guaira
November "a on the French mail steamer
Guadeloupe. This vessel runs between
Havre and West Indian ports.
The proposed departure of Presiden,
Castro from Venezuela for Europe has
caused considerable speculation here CON
corning the real purpose of his trip.
1t has long been known that President
CaStroS health has been precariOuS and
that he is in need of expert treatment
To seek such treatment abroad at time
when his power is jeopardiZed indicates
to the minds of many people who have
followed his career carefully that his
malady must have reached an acute
stage.
His departure recalls the flight Of Prest-
dent Guzman BlancO, who was alleged
to have carried with him to Europe many
millions of Venezuelan gold. Prior to
Blanco's flight with the funds of the
government he had twice visited Europe
while serving as president. Other in
stances of presidents of inAmerican
republics visiting foreign countries during
their terms OF office were those of Bar
rios of Guatemala and Diaz of Mexico
The State Department has no informa-
ton concerning President Castros plans
but as this country is without dip omatiC
representation i'll Venezuela 1t is not
strange that such advices have not been
received
