the British government and the state
department at Washington, left the
steamer Guadeloupe at this port today
and has taken up quarters on shore.
All the ports in the West Indies ex-
cepting Fort de France are barred

tinues on board the Guadeloupe to La
Guaiara. The American cruiser North
Carolina came into port this morning.
The Guadeloupe, on board of which
Castro and party sailed from France
March 26 after four months spent in
Europe, came into Fort de France late
last 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.
Expresses His Anger.
The decision Of the British govern
ment, acting on request from the state
department at Washington, not to let
him land at Trinidad was unofficially
communicated to Castro the second
time this morning. The former presi-
dent Of Venezuela expressed himself
exceedingly annoyed and angry at this
decision, which he characterized as
violation Of the rights of man. He was
furiously angry with the American
government and the French steamship
company. The latter has refused to let
him continue on board the Guadeloupe
to Colon.
After expressing annoyance at this
unexpected turn in his affairs, Castro
disclaimed beliicose intentions with re-
gardsto the political situation in vene-
zuela with which he has been cred-
ited, and declared his only purpose in
returning to Venezuela was to give at
tention to his private business. Castro
will be attended during his stay here
by his secretary and body servant.
He appears still in i'll health.

"Paekn Beaten in CHICAGO.

Chicago, April 7.-Isaac N. Powell
republican, was elected city treasurer;
Francis d. Connery, democrat, was
elected city clerk. Eighteen republi-
cans and eighteen democrats We're
elected aldermen. Control of the new
council was safely vested in the re-
spectacle element of that body, and
the gray wolves were beaten badly in
their scheme to grab off the council
organization.
The proposal to levy a special tax
for the establishment of a tuberculosis
sanitarium was carried by tremen-
dous majority.
Chicago voted to let Evanston and
Cicero into the city limits. Both mu-
inequalities fatty and pointedly refused
to come in.
These were the results in chief of
one of the closest municipal elections
which Chicago has witnessed for many
years. Politically, it is dog fall be-
tween the two big parties. Penetrating
into the real meaning of the voting, it
is evident that Chicago emphatically
insists upon having city council the
controlling majority of which must be
above suspicion.
Standing out among the big facts of
the election results is the emphatic in
dorsement of Aid. Milton j. Foreman
by his constituents in the Third ward.
After a tremendous battle, in which ev-
cry interest in the ward was involved
one way or the other, Aid. Foreman
carried every precinct except one and
is returned to the council by the big
gest' vote and the biggest plurality ever
given to an alderman in that bailiwick.
Seven sitting aldermen who were
candidates for reelection, We're de-
feated in their efforts to retain their
council chairs. The list of council
tame ducks" includes Burke, of the
Fourth; Moynihan, of the Eighth; Kru-

France, Too, Against Castro.

Paris, April THE French govern

present government of Venezuela. This
undertaking follows exchanges, and is
in full accord with the wishes of the
Washington government, considering
the advisability Of expelling Castro
from the island of Martinique, where
he now Is. No decision on this point,
however, has yet been reached.
