Gen. Castro is vain man, confident of his
own powers. seemingly believing himself a
child of destiny. Probably he does not fully
trust anyone but himself and he seldom takes
the public into his complete confidence. He

statue of Bolivar, which is the center of the
city's life, and easily convincee himself that
his services to Venezuela are second only to
those of the great Liberator He believes
Venezuela is to become the leading nation of
South America, and he bitterly resents what
he considers the affronts which other nations
attempt to put upon it. 1t is the method in
which he expresses this resentment that
causes so much trouble, for his disregard of
diplomatic usages is most obnoxious to other
governments.
In private life Gen. Castro does not present
an admirable figure, but his faults are such
as often found in strong characters His
periods of relaxation are as strenuous in their
way as are his periods of work, and his recent

transferred to Caracas. About the time of the
establishment of Coro, Charles ", whose Eu-
ropean wars had obliged him to borrow ex-
tensively agreed with the Augsburg banking
and merchant firm of the Wesers to grant
them the entire province of Venezuela in re-
turn for advances of money. In 1928 Ambrose
Alfnger sailed for the colony, with force
OF 400 adventures, representing the new rul-
ers. Disappointed in the expectation of finding
mines of gold to be exploited, he and has sue
cessor, George Spira, who brought over an
other body of retainers in 1888 raided the
interior regions for produce, ensaving the ma
tves, and demaralizing the whole country, so
that in 1916 Charles " rescinded the grant.
The country now intrusted to a governor
sent from Spain. The rest of the sixteenth
century was marked by exploring expeditions,
the founding of settlements and cities and
wars with the natives. Early in the seven
teenth century the Biscayan merchant organi-
cation, Compania Guipuzcoana secured the
right to control the Venezuelan trade, on con-
dition that it put an end to the illicit trade
with Curacao and chance foreign ships For
so years this worked fairly well, but eventu-
ally the Compania found it more profitable to
enter into arrangements of mutual advantage
with the Curacao merchants. This soon led
to great popular opposition, threatening civil
war IN lao, Out the COmpdnla maintained us

in the hands of captain-general subordinate
