the Danish West Indies under no cir

Fort De France. Martinique. April
12.-Prior to being taken aboard the
steamer Versailles for deportation to
France, ex-President Castro prepared
written protest against the action
of the French government, which has
been submitted to the authorities
here. 1t reads as follows:

He is now on board the French line
steamship Versailles bound for St.
Nazaire.
Official notice was served on Castro

French government that he must
leave the island within nine hours Of
the receipt of such notice and that the
France had been charged with the ex-

dent was furious and strove through
out the day to find some excuse that

and physician to verify that he was
unable to leave the country. The
