26~-fhe Presidency Of Juan Nincehte. Gomez. has heen recognized by the country at large, officially and unoti- eially. and venezuela Is through with ono of the most popular revolutions in the annals of tho republic, a revolution in which not one drop of blood was shed.
 The authority of President Gomez Is accepted as supreme. Even General, Ceiestino Castro. brother Of the former President, who was chief of the De- partment of Taehira, has turned over to the new military commander all the. arms and ammunition in his possession. amounting to s,000 rifles and s.0oo,0oV rounds of ammunition, Celestino Gas tro's acceptance of the new regime. fs regarded as final and conclusive eVt- dence. that his brother is no longer a factor in the situation.
 President Gomez is showing in many ways his desire to propitiate all inter- ests. promote businessl both local and foreign, and improve foreign relations.
 Suing Castro.
 .CiprIano Castro Is being sued in the Caracas courts for moneys and prop- erty alleged to have been obtained wrongfulIy. Among others, Madame Csrespo, widow of the former President Joaquin Crespo has brought action to recover two years rental of the Mira flores palace in Caracas. This beauti- ful building was erected by her huss band when he was President and # has been used by Cfpriano Castro. since hip triumphal entry. into Caracas, nine years ago.
