CASTRO GETS
NEW RESIDENCE
DepOSed President Of Vene.
zueIa Will Live in the
Canary Islands

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
SANTANDER, Spain. May 11-Vene-
zucla has seen the last Of Clprlano
Castro, her deposed President. Castro.
according to well founded report. to-
day, has bought a residence in Santa
Cruz DE Tenerire. the capital of the
Canary Islands. and win make his
future home there.
Castro and his wife are still in SAN
tander, but are preparing TO leave
shortly for Teneriffe.
When Castra came here recently
from Paris it was with the announced
determination to reach Venezuela by
means of tramp schooner. He hoped
that he might slip back unnoticed to
the country that robbed him Of his
power and lead a successful revolt
against the Gomez regime.
His friends here. however. earnestly
advised him that such a course would
not only prove a fiat failure but that
it would probably result in his execu-
ton. Castro was hard to dissuade,
but hc was eventually made to see
the hopelessness Of trying TO re-estab-
lish himself in Venezuela.
Until France turned against Castro
and ordered his expulsion from
Martinique. the former Venezuelan
executive preferred French territory
for his home. if he had TO remain an
exile. He now bitterly assails France
and has transferred his affection to
Spain. under whose sovereignty he will
be in Tcneriffe.
IL is understood that Castro will buy
a large estate in Teneriffe and engage
in farming.
