The first reply TO these inquiries

if ships would ultimately be delivered

Washington, June 24.-The state de-
partment late last night received Of
fetal confirmation that Charge d'Af-

Venezuela and this is in line with di-]
rections sent to him by the state de-
partment.

According TO officials of the state de-
partment who talked on the subject
President Castro has ignored all the
protests sent him by Secretary Root
concerning the private claim of Juarez,
who was banished from Venezuela by
Castro, the claims of the Orinoco COM
river, and the asphalt company These
are the principal claims which Pres
ident Castro informed Mr.. Sleeper yes
terday had passed the stage of diplo-
macy or any other kind of negotiations
because they had been passed upon by
his court of cessation.
Castro Offers tV Arbitrnte.
Secretary Roots position as declared
is that the judgments of the foreign
court are not final, where denial OF
justice" can be proved. President
Castro thereupon created the diplo-
matte impasse by asserting that there
was no such right and that the only
remedy was arbitration and he offered
arbitration in these cases.
Castro's government in fact, was not
represented at The Hague tribunal.
1t is expected that other nations.
such as France and Holland, which

and his persistent ignoring of the
quarantine regulations, will also break
off diplomatic relations with Vene-

In his second term one OF his most
celebrated acts was in connection
with the Venezuela boundary dispute
in which he reasserted the Monroe
doctrine and made it stick in spite
of mutterings from across the Allan

he ever did but he was actuated solely
by his ideas of right and not by any
desire TO appease >a popular clamor.
Cleveland's second administration
was heir TO the panic of 1892 and to
check the disastrous drain upon the
national resources the president start
ed a movement for the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchase law, using
every means at his command to that
end \and finally succeeding. In con
