VENEZUELA'S ANSWER
Surprise Expressed at Dutch Coz
ernments Course.

Caracas. OctSAs-President Castro while lying
on sick led. on October Il answered the second
note from the Netherlands government The point
or view OF Venezuela as expressed tr this answer.
Is that, notwithstanding that the government OF
the Netherlands in its last note. admits the good
grounds for the grievances presented by the Ven
ezueian government, it has rot given the request
ed satisfaction necessary for the forgiveness of the
offences The Dutch government, in it's note. Inn
tied itself merely TO offer pay the material
value of the consular shield destroyed by the
Curacao mob.
Nenezuelas answer calls inexplicabIe the fact
that the government OF Holland. after having ed-
mitted in its note the perfect right OF Venezuela
TO Issue the transshipment decree. at the same time
asks for it's revocation and simultaneously makes
the threat that it will no longer consider TO be IN
force the protocol of 1894 unless said decree is re-
voked by November l
The protocol signed at The Hague on August 90
1894. by the sparial commissioner OF Venezuela
General Garcia and the Dutch government, was
for the purpose of reesta bshing the relations OF
friendship between the two nations. which had been
severed for nineteen years. BY it Venezuela agreed
20 drop all claims against Holland, and Holland
agreed to prevent cons piracy and fibusterins ex-
petitions. These the essential paragraphs:
= The government OF Venezuela without
IN any way admitting that its claims were not Well
founded and in no way establishing precedent

end il will the authorities OF Curacao.

Holland makes no further threat in her note. but
the that Dutch warships are now lying

by the governnSnt and by the people as direct
though mute. threat that force will be used on
November l TO compel the revocation Of the de
cree Of May Il
President Castro has answered this threat by
making all necessary naval and military Prepara-
tons to meet any reasonable contingency Shells
