Fort de France, Martinique, Apr. s.
-Cipriano Castro, In a rage against
the British government and the state
department at Washington, left the
steamer Guadeloupe at this port yes
terday. Finding all ports In the West
Indies excepting Fort de France barred
against him, his present course was
the only one left open to the ex-Vene-
Suelan dictator.
Castro treated the captain Of the
Guadalupe to q farewell discourse, in
which he darkly limited at the posi-.
bilities Of the future. He referred
frequently to providence, which alone
he said, was capable Of extricAting
Venezuela from the political storms.
He appeared Still possessed, Of faith
that could not be shaken in his star.
When told Of Gomez intention to
abandon power temporarily he smiled
silently. Then, his glance fall ing on
the United States Cruiser Montana in
the opening he pointed in that dirsc-
ton and said:
Patience; l am not yet ready to

Castro does not disguise the fear
that the unexpected Intervention Of

appropriations for the state govern

sage to the legislature the governor
scored the legislature for falling to

"Your regular session Of go days
was expensive and of little value to
the people," says the governor. mot
a single platform demand was enacted
into law; one was defeated, and you
adjourned without even considering
the appropriation bill whereby the
lobby applauded, and 1t il not strange
that you received through the news

mittee Of this state.
Although your honorable bodies

has been done in the way Of legislation
by the regular and called session,

.STRINCFELLOW HOME
DAMAGED BY FIRE
BUILDING FLOODED WITH WA
TER, WHICH WAS GREATER.
Two Alarms Sent in at Same Time
From Different Boxes for
This Blaze.

The handsome home of ]. d. String
fellow, corner of Arredondo and West
Liberty streets, was badly damaged
by water early Wednesday morning
and suffered loss of about 500 by
fire.
When first discovered an alarm was
turned in from Box 81. also another
alarm from Box 25, and this caused
the department a few minutes delay.
A greater part of the roof was torn
and cut away in order to get to the
flames, which had spread on the inside
of the roof by falling through, and
it was necessary. to pursue this course
after 1t had gained such Roadway, al
though apparently great amount of
unnecessary water was used in ex-
tinguishing the flames
Good and effective work was done
by the few firemen who we're present
after they reached the building, for 1t
was only a short while before the fire
was extinguished, but the damage by
water to the building is estimated
at about $500, while the furniture also
suffered to some extent.
1t is thought that the blaze caught
from a spark from the chimney, as
when first seen only very small spot
on the roof was burning

fore Judge Mason Wednesday after

Strobe was held in the sum OF

the negro was a most serious one,
Judge Mason made II light to see II
he could not give the bond. He Is
charged in the warrant with assault
with intent to kill, and had It not been
for the best of attention at the hands
of the doctors, he would have probably
done the latter. for Gist was badly cut
to pieces.
While Gist Is able to be up and at

are Of a serious nature.
