Formal Protest
of Castro Against
His Expulsion
Former President Of Venezuela Says
Action of France Is Violation
of Law and Right.

FORT DEFRANCB. Martinique, April IL.
Prior to being taken sboad the steamer
Versailles for deportation to France ex-
President Castro prepared a written pro-
test against the action Of the French gov
ernment, which has been submitted to the
authorities here. II reads as follows:
Il hereby protest against the action of
tho French authorities of Martinique in
having me put by force on board an out
going vessel: First, because I was III at
the time. and because the act imperiled
my life: second, because I have committed
no offenso against the government OF
France and the authorities of Martinique
during the time that l was permitted to
remain on that island; and, finally, be-
cause the decree OF expulsion which orders
my deportation out of French territory
compels me to take passage aboard a ves-
sci which will again land me on French
territory.
Moreover. these considerations aside
the case constitutes a breach of interna-
tional law and a denial of the rights of
individuals. That such a thing should have
come to pass in the land which saw the
birth Of Josephine and from which came
the inspiration Of liberty, and at the hands
OF a people who shed their blood by tor
rents hardly a century ago to maintain
unimpaired the rights and prerogatives of
man, is inconceivable."
The ex-president said, just before the
sailing Of the Versailles, that il he was at
liberty when he arrived at st. Nazaire he
would Immediately proceed to Spain in
order to take passage for Santa Cruz.

leaving his brother Carmelo here for the

poets to be forwarded from Trinidad and

had the steamer left port last night when
a party OF friends arrived on the steamer
Goelette from Saint Lucia. They were
very much surprised that the former pres
ident had been expelled from the island
and had a long talk with Castro's brother.
Purpose of France.
PARIS, April 1.-THE return of Castro
is not regarded here as of great impor-
lance, the principal object of the French
government being to prevent the use OF
French territory as the headquarters for
a revolutionary movement and a campaign
by Castro to recapture his lost power in
Venezuela. There will be no opposition
made to his landing. or even his remain
ing in France, provided he lives peace
ably.
1t is regarded. however, as more likely
that Castro will disembark at Santander,
where he will try to charter a ship.
COPENHAGEN. April 1.-The govern
ment has instructed the governor of the
Danish West Indies under no circumstances
to permit ex-President Castro to land in
that territory. These instructions were
issued In response to a cablegram from the
colonial officials inquiring as to what
measures were to be taken in the event Of
Castro's attempting to take up his resi-
dence at any of those ports.
