FINED $4,000, 1000.
French Cable Company Convicted by
the Venezuela Courts.

Caracas Monday. Aug. 24.-After
more than three years of legal pro-
cedure the civil court of first instance
of Caracas has delivered judgment in
the sensational case of the French
Gable company. The company has
been found guilty of completely in the
Matos revolution of 1903, and fined
100000. other damages are to be
assessed against it. The trial has
been even more startling than that
against the New York and Bermudese
Asphalt company. which also resulted
in a 100000 fine, because it has
reached far beyond the high officials
of the cable company in Paris. The evil
dence mentions in an alleged compro-
missing way even such names as that
of NJ. Delcasse minister of foreign
affairs of France, at the time of the
revolution.
1t is venezuela's claim that the
French goVernn ent extended support
to General MatOs and M. Quievreux
French vice consul at Caracas
which was compromised by the docu-
mentary evidence which fell into
President Castro's hands, that he com
mitted suicide in Paris rather than
face the disgrace of charges from his
government.
The revolutionary suit, as it was
called, was brought on July 10. 1907.
and was based on a great mass of
documentary evidence consisting of
flee at Caracas, which President Cas-
tro had secured from a treacherous
employe of the company. These docu
ments which were mostly copies of
the messages sent over the lines are
alleged by the attorney general in his
complaint to prove that General
Matos, after visiting the directors of
the company in Paris, was offered
every aid by them in furthering his
revolution; that the Venezuelan man
ager, Fernand Jallabert, was in
structed from Paris to furnish every
aid to Matos, that as a consequence
the operators in Venezuela placed
themselves under the orders of M.
Ouievreux, who was the agent of the
revolution in Caracas; that the cable
employees were all revolutionary spies;
that they secretly transmitted news to
the revolutionists regarding the
moveme nts of the government troops;
that the contents of government mes
sages were made known to third per-
sons and to foreign powers and that
the company used all its power to
disseminate abroad exaggerated news
aimed at discrediting the Castro gov
0rnment
President Castro's action in closing
up the cable offices without arrange
ment for any other Geographic COM
munication with the exterior has been
disastrous to commercial interests in
Venezuela. Several attempts have
been made to establish wireless COM
munication and to get other cable
companies to come in, but all have
been unsuccessful.
