Snub for American Minister

An incident which shows Castro's
temper in dealing with the diplomats
of foreign countries occurred in the
case of a Frenchman named Vincen-
TILL who was at the head of the
telephone company. After the French
minister had withdrawn from Vene-
zuela and the interests of France and
her citizens had been placed in the
hands of the American minister. Vim
centilla was imprisoned by Castro. He
attempted to communicate with the
American minister by telegraph, but
the telegram was never delivered. La
ter, the American minister took up
the matter, and asked Castro why the
telegram had not been delivered, and
sought redress for the Imprisonment
of The Frenchman. Castro replied
that the American minister should re-
member he was not there as the rep
resentative of France, but merely as a
keeper of the French archives. That
was all there was to it, except that
the American minister forwarded
Castro's note to Washington, and it

worse. The Chieftain thinks that
the leaders of predatory wealth
may have brought about the panic
to rebuke and discredit Roosevelt.
No doubt that surmise is cor

Chieitain that the power to bring
on a panic has grown up under
the protective policy of the re-

have acquired their unlawful
