IN 4 RAeE
Castro Lands at Fort dc France a Very
Angry Man.

Fort dc France, Martinique, April S.
Cipranio Castro, in a rage against the
British government and the state de-
partment At Washington, left the steam
er Guadeloupe al this port yesterday and
has taken up quarters on shore.
Finding all ports In the West Indies
except Fort de France barred against
him. the present course was the only
one left open to the former Venezuelan
dictator.
Senior Castro's wife win continue on
board the Guadeloupe to la Gnayra.
The Guadeloupe, on hoard which Cas-
tro and his party sailed from France
March 20, after four months spent in
Europe, came into Fort de France late
yesterday evening While at Pointe-a
Pitre, on the island Of Guadeloupe where
the steamer touched yesterday, Castro
was notified by the British consul that
the British government had decided not
TO permit him to disembark at Port Of
Spain, Trinidad, consequently Castro
decided TO leave the Guadeloupe here.
The decision Of the British government
acting on a request from the state de-
partment at Washington, not to let him
land at Trinidad, was unoiiicially COM
municated to Castro second time eys-
terday morning. The former president
of Venezuela expressed himself as ex-
ceedingly annoyed and angry az this de-
cision, against which he voiced his pro-
test. He characterized it as a violation
Of the rights Of man.
He is furiously angry with the Ameri-
can governdment and the French steam
ship company. The latter has refused
to let him continue on board the Guade-
loupe to Colon.
After expressing his annoyance at this
unexpected turn in his affairs, Castro
protested against the belieose inten-
tions with regard to the existing politi-
cal situation in Venezuela which he has
been credited, and declared that his only
purpose in returning to Venezuela was
to give his attention to his private bus
mess
Castro win be attended during his
stay here by his secretary and a body
servant. He appears still to be in i'll
health.
