FRENCH IGNORE
CASTRO PROTEST
Treatment Of DepOSed PreSi-
dent Creates Sympathy for
Him in Europe
By United Press Leased Special Wire

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
PARIS, April 1.-THE government
today decided to ignore the formal pro-
test sent to it by Cipriano Castro over
his forcible expulsion from Martinique
The protest was cabled to the govern
ment by the French governor of Mar
tinique at Fort de France.
In his protest Castro said that his en-
forced embarkation at Fore de France
endangered his life and violated inter
national law, in that he had committed
no wrong on French territory.
The government is being violently as
sailed by both press and public for its
treatment of Castro. His forcible eject
ment from Martinique and return tc
Europe have aroused great deal OF
sympathy for the deposed ruler.
II is inconceivable, here that Cas-
tro's stay in Martinique could have
worked any injury to Venezuela and
until there was evidence TO support the
charge that he was seeking 10 stir uT
a revolution in Venezuela, his expul-
sion was an abuse Of international law
IN the opinion of leading lawyers.
Castro's return to Europe is beinG
made under far different circumstances
than surrounded his visit early in the
year. Then he came attended by hil
family and a retinue of servants and
his movements had almost the touch o.
a march of triumph. Now there Is bu
a lone attendant, he is carrying will
him little more than he has on hi
back. and the disposition to be made
of him when he lands at st. Nazair'
is in doubt 1t is believed that he viii
not seek to remain In France.

SUEz. April 11-So disturbed was
Mr.. Roosevelt upon learning to-day
that an alleged interview with him
carried by a Paris newspaper under a
Naples date. had been circulated In the
United States. by one Of the large news
agencies that he requested me empha-
size the fact through the United Press
that the American public can stamp
as false any future interviews pur-
porting to come from him while on
his hunting trip, and dealing with poll
tical topics either American or inter-
national.
At Colonel Roosevelt's request I am
sending this dispatch ashore by
launch, the Admiral being now under
way:
while I have a friendly feeling for
the entire newspaper fraternity" said
Colonel Roosevelt, lit is inconcelvable
that / should make statements Ia
foreign correspondents and take
chances on having my expressions
garbled when I have repeatedly de-
clined TO talk to American newspaper
men.
1.-THE Paris Journal interview was not
a distortion; IL was a wilful, deliberats
invention without the slightest found
ation-obviously so. ! think. TO any
American who knows me. 1 repeat that
my present trip is solely a hunting
and scientific expedition, and so GER
tain am 1 that I viii have no conver-
sation or interviews with any one on
any personal or political matters that
it can be unhesitatingly assumed that
any such statement purporting tc
come from me are false on their face.
