ita' Guarded by Troops Loyal to the
New Government.
Caracas, Venezuela. Dec. 23.-There
has been no repetition in this city of
the anti-Castro demonstrations OF
Dec. l3 and IA, but the enforced res
ignation of the Castro cabinet is re-
garded as going far toward sealing
the fate of President Castro in Ven
ezuela. The fall of the cabinet is a
logical outcome OF the fact that Act
ing President Gomez permitted the
anti-Castro demonstrations in Caracas.
=. The change of ministry was effect
ed and made known only after the
arrival in the capital of 1900 soldiers
from the interior, who are loyal to
Gomez.
There is much military activity CIV,
erywhere and troops are being recruit
ed and armed with energy in the be-
lief that the men in the interior loyal
to Castro will fight.
