. LONDON. Dec. 25.-Although II is given
out that former President Castro is facing
the reverse in his fortune cheerfully he
is. according to the Berlin correspondent
OF the Daily Mail. deeply hurt in being
kept in ignorance of the events at Caracas
and in being compelled to make his de-
cisions on the strength Of indirect re-
ports.
He ascribes the breakdown Of his in
telligence service to the refusal Of his
enemies to allow kilograms to be trans
mitted to him. His followers who are
with him at DR.. Israel's hospital and those
still remaining at the Hotel Esplanade
are depressed, their manner furnishing
a strong contrast to the CHEEKY indiffer-
ence they manifested few days ago.
BERLIN, Dec. 24.-Castro gave this
statement to the Eewspapers to-day;
he evidently regards himself as no longer
the ruler Of Venezuela; -t'.
ION being informed Of everything which
has been published in the newspapers
about Venezuela doubt the attitude
attributed to the present Government
therein. When my health is better shall
be able to speak with the full knowledge
