CabIed an Order to Kill Gomez.

Count Luigi Aldrovandi, Italian Charge
d'Afaires at Caracas. Venezuela, who
arrived yesterday by the steamship
Zulia, said he had got the impression
from the recent openhanded treatment
that he had received at the hands of the
Venezuelans under the provisional gov
ernment Of Gen. Gomez that Venezuela
was going to treat all nations squarely.
The Count said it was a peculiar stua-
ton in Venezuela. Under the Constitu-
ton Castro was still President and Gen.
Gomez. as vice-President, was simply
acting president. II would be necessary
to impeach Castro before Gomez could
be the real President. The Count under
stood that Castro would be prosecuted
and impeached for cabling an order, as
alleged by the Gomez party. to p. NJ
Cardenas, then departmental Gov
ernor. to kill Gomez in the rioting that
followed Castro's departure from Ven-
ezuela. The Count went to Washington
