he was adjudged a bankrupt.

CASTRO TALKS.
Says He Did Not Run
Away From Venezuela.
Also Asserts willingness to Re-
turn and Prove Political Honor.
Factions Of Castro and Gomez In
Armed Fight at Maeuro.

Berlin, Dec. 29-.SenOr Castro left the
hospital ana returned to the Esplanade
hotel this afternoon. He granted an in
tervicw to The Associated Press cor
respondent tonight. The former Presi-
dent was asked if there was any truth
in that statement published in various
newspapers to the effect that he left
Venezuela knowing what was going to
happen.
Senor Castro, who was already great
ly irritated over unfounded press re-
ports concerning his movements and
affairs, at first refused to discuss the
matter and then calmly made the fol-
lowing reply:
No, for il l had even suspected such
a thing, l would have remained in Ven
e2ue,a, even had my life been imper-
illed through i'll health, because | have
always been and am now the slave
to honor and duty. The only fear / have
is the fear of God"
at is rumored that the Venezuelan
government win request your eXtradi-
ton from Germany in order to Indlct
YOU" Castro was informed.
81 do not consider that possible" re-
piled Castro, "since no such covenant
is in eXistance between Venezuela and
Germany. The only convention between
the two countries relates to trade
marks and is dated 1882. FXtradiiion
treaties exist only with Belgium, Spain
and Bolivia. But even supposing such
an intention exists, only the slightest
hint is necessary and | am willing to

ION. In regard to international AFFAIRS
concerning the foreign policy of Ven
ezuela, | would suggest that an inter-
national tribunal should judge me, to
prove that Venezuela has right and
reason, provided that if such right
should be proven justice might be ac-
corded to Venezuela and to me-
Senor Castro declined for the present
to give any further statement, but ne
discussed the events in Venezuela
Stree the change in government, eX-
pressing pleasure that his brother, Gen
Cclestino Castro. had acted correctly
in chewing orders to submit and give
up the arms and ammunition in his
charge, thus avoiding a conflict.
Concerning the intention of President
Gomez to settle the outstanding for
eiyn questions, Castro believed tnat
Gomez was acting as he thought best,
but declared that the action OF Fene-
zuela hitherto was justified. He did not
intend. however, to interfere in the
progress of events and had not COM
municated with Venezuela in any way.
Castro is still under the care of Dr.
Israel. who consented to his return 10
the hotel as the hospital surroundings
and confinement were adversely attect-
ing his patient. Senor Castro goes out
daily in an automobile. He lives quiet
" and is strictly following the plan
laid out for him. DIR. Israel says that
an operation will not be necessary; ms
patients ailment is painful, although
not at all dangerous.
