French Government Will Order Ex-Presi-
dent Castro to Move On.

PARIS, April S.-The French govern
ment decided today to expel Cipriano
Castro. the former president of Nene-
Zuela. from the French island of Mar
Unique on the ground that his presence
there is likely to foment Il revolution in
Venezuela.
This decision followed consideration of

French ambassador at Washington, Civ
ing an account of his conference with
Secretary of State Knox yesterday
The decree of expulsion will be COM
municated to Castro Immediately.
through the project of Fort de France,
where Castro now is.
1t is presumed here that the govern
ment of the United States which in
itiated the exchanges with foreign gov
ernments to prevent Castro from estah-
fishing headquarters close to the Nene-
zuelan coast, will prevent him making
his way to the main land on a sailing
vessel This course will leave Castro the
alternative of taking refuge on one of
the Danish West Indian islands or re-
turning to Europe
The French line steamship Versailles
touched at Fort de France April 10 on
her way back to Europe.
While portion of the press criticises
the action of the government in expelling
Castro from the island of Martinique
as aR extreme measure. q majority
seems TO enjoy the predicament of the
Napoleon of the Andes" and consider
that q proper lesson is being inflicted
