 He has replaced the old mtnistrys the leader Of which was pr. Jose de Jesus Paul. the minister of foreign af- fairs. who has been the one Awure outside Of Castro hisnself in the neB0- tfations that cuIrninated in tic ouet- of Minister de Reus and the severance of dtpiometic relations with Holland with new body of men who repre- sent various factions In the State And who have aEured prominently in varf- ous ways in the political history of the country. Not only has pr. Paul disappeared from the counseIz of the nation, but Drs Baldo who is now tFaveling In Castro's suite. abroad. also has been removed from hie official po- sition as minister of education. Gem erai Diego Ferren. the minister of war; who also was war minister in the cabinet of Acting President Go- mex in 1906, has been superseded by General Resulo olivares. who took a prominent part in crushing the rev. olutionists six years ago.

 Tho revolutionary factions, which gained strength with every hour of Castro's absence. pIayed a prominent part in the denominations against the absent President which took tho form of rioting and incendiarisn.
 The establishment of 6 new gov ernment in Venezuela has been ex- pected daily and it is probable that 1t was the outcome Of the anti-Castro sentiment and anti-GoDles demonstra- tions. Before leaving Castro in pro- claiming Vice President Gomez hts temporary successor, said to the na- ton:
 rgdrround him and lend your CO., operation in the fulnlinent of his mis- sion as if 1t were l myself, and you will have done your duty"
 In the same proclamation, President Castro gave utterance to what might be taken as a farewell message:
 'The Venezuelan nation k already on the road to true prosperity and greatness because of the strict fuIf1il-i rnent of obligation and the sound con dition of the revenues and because of the state of peace which we enjoy and which it Is our duty to maintain that my work may endure"
 Events since then have moved swift ly in Venezuela and on December 14 the people of Caracas, unable to long- CT withhold their passionA. arose against Castro. They tore down the statues and pictures of the President and burned them in the public places; they wrecked buildings and applied the torch. sweeping through the city and gathering strength ana fury with every new act of violence. It then seemed certain that Castro's rule in Venezuela had ended.
 Gomez. himself in the position of acting President, was far from se- eGfe. It was brought forcibiy home to him that he must either withdraw from that ofiice or cast aside those of Castro's ministers who sIfil were try ing to force the Castro rule upon the country. Apparently he chose the lat ter, course. He first put the country in a state of defense thereby securing control of the army aud then appoint ed a new cabinet. the members of which represent a diversity of factions.
 Castro DistFusted GonaeS,
 ~On several other occasions when Castro has turned the government over to President Gomez. 1t was freely pre- dicted that Gomez would succeed Cas- tro as President of the republic. He had many supporters in the anti-Cas- tro camp chief among those in favor of his candidacy being General Arango. the former Minister of War who work ed earnestly to place Gomez in power. While seemingly Gomez has been an ardent supporter of Castro. he has maintained time and again that he did not favor the foraigp policy of the Government, declaring that the treat- ment accorded the United States and France was i'll advised and that he was hot in sympathy with the conduct of international affairs He even has expressed the opinion that he was not trusted by President Castro although the latter gave denial to this by ap- pointing him to nIl the once of Pres ident while he himself was absent
 President Castro. who is now. in Dr. Israel's hospital in. Berlin, has per- sistently declined to believe, the re- ports of the revolutionary movement in his country. He has admitted re- eeiving dispatches daily, from the Gov ernmenf, but has declared that these contained no word of internal disturb ances. His mission to Europe was for treatment of a malady from which he has long suffered, but on occasions he has said that he was on diplomatic mision as well, the settling of the diff ferences between Venezuelan and France and those of the other powers that would meet his proposals.
 The Venezuelan situation has been the object of lively interest on tho
