Enforced Resignation Of Ven

Any Resistance Offered by Follow

itaI Guarded by Troops Loyal to the
New Government.
Caracas, Venezuela, Dec. 23.-There
has been no repetition in this city of
the anti-Castro demonstrations OF
Dec. 10 and IA, but the enforced res
ignation of the Castro cabinet Is re-
garded as going far toward sealing
the fate of President Castro in Ven
ezuela. The fall of the cabinet is a
logical outcome Of the fact that Act
Ing President Gomez permitted the
anti Castro demonstrations in Caracas.
The change of ministry was effect
ed and made known only after the
arrival in the capital of 1900 soldiers
from the interior, who are loyal to
Gomez.
There is much military activity ev-
erywhere and troops are being recruit
ed and armed with energy in the be-
lief that the men in the interior loyal
to Castro will fight.

President Roosevelt today sent for Sena-

After leaving the white house, Senator
Nixon sent the following telegram to the
president of the Nevada Senate and the
speaker of the Assembly:
The japanese question, like the Chinese
question, is nonpartisan to all Nevada S
citizens l take it that the object of the
resolution now before the Nevada Legisla-
ture is a serious one and was introduced for
the purpose of securing beneficial results.
Personally, I have no desire to inject my
views but after a conversation with the
president this morning I feel that it is my
Nevada to suggest to the Legislature
through you gentlemen that the very object
of the resolution may be injured by radical
action ut this time.
The President assured the Nevada
senator's that his only desire in the
japanese matter was to promote the gen
eral welfare and he urged the necessity
of avoiding all complications possible.
