Sued-Is in Germany.

Caracas.-The presidency of Juan
Vicente Gomez has been received by
the country at large, officially and un-
officially, and Venezuela is through with
one of the most popular revolutions in
the annals of the republic, revolution
in which not one drop of blood was
shed. The authority of President Go
mez is accepted as supreme. Even GEN
eral Celestino Castro, brother of the
former president, who was chief of the
department of Tachira, has turned over
to the new military commander of that
district all the arms and ammunition
in his possession, amounting to 6O00
rifles and 100000 rounds of ammuni-
ton. Celestino Castro 8 acceptance of
the new regime is regarded as final
and conclusive evidence that his brother
is no longer a factor in the political
situation. President Gomez is showing
in many ways his desire to propitiate
all interests, promote business, both
local and foreign, and improve foreign
relations.

Castro Is Being Sued.

Cipriano Castro is being sued in the
Caracas courts for moneys and prop
erty alleged to have been obtained
wrongfully. Among others, Madame
Crespo, widow of former President
Crespo, has brought action to recover.
two years rent of the Mirafiores pal
ace in Caracas. This beautiful building
was erected by her husband when he
was president, and it has been used
by Cipriano Castro since his tri-
umphant entry into Caracas nine years
ago. These various actions probably
will result in Castro losing property to
the value of 100000 which he left
behind in Venezuela when he sailed for
France about month ago. The doors
of Venezuela have been opened to all
Venezuelans residing abroad and all
agitators have been urged to return.
Cattle Monopoly Broken.
The cattle monopoly maintained for
so many years by Cipriano Castro has
been abolished and the press has been
given its freedom. All the political
prisoners in the land, excepting the men
who were connected with the recent
plot to assassinate President Gomez,
have been freed, and the president has
settled the dispute with his neighbor ON
the west, the United States of Colon
bia. This difficulty had existed for
many years and arose over a contested
boundary line.
Jose de j. Paul, who was minister
of foreign affairs in the Castro cabinet,
received two days ago a dispatch from
Cipriano Castro at Berlin reading as
follows:
"Declare the Dutch warships pirates.

under the Washington protocol. L am
