WOllu SSell llltJ complaint
of Castro's internal policy
is we'll founded.
Yet Castro undoubtedly
loves his country and seeks
its welfare. He is laying
many plans for its better
ment, and some of them will
be carried out, though ham,
pered and delayed by his
overmastering need of mon
ey. He is proud of Cara
cas- and is anxious TO see it
modernized.
The president makes peri
odical tours through the
various states of the fedora
tion and orders numerous
public improvements. The
capital and other cities of
the country are garrisoned
by the army which, under
his administration, has
grown from ragged lot of
poems in alpargatas and
motley garments. into a
well drilled, well armed and
well clothed body of fight
ers who are devoted to their
leader.
Peace is what the busi-
ness men of the country
must have, and they believe
1t is better to pay tribute
to Castro and prosper meas

than to run the risk of hav-

founded the city Of Coro, which remained the
seat of government until 1867, when it was
transferred to Caracas About the time of the
establishment of Coro, Charles ", whose Eu-
ropean wars had obliged him to borrow ex-
tensively, agreed with the Augsburg banking
and merchant firm of the Welsers to grant
them the entire province of Venezuela, in
turn for advances of money. In 1928 Ambrose
Alinger sailed for the colony with a force
of 400 adventures, representing the new rul-
ers. Disappointed in the expectation of finding
mines of gold to be exploited, he and has sue
cessor George Spira, who brought over
other body of retainers in 1533 raided the
interior regions for produce enslaving the ma
tives, and demoralzing the whole country, so
that in 1545 Charles " rescinded the grant.
The country was now intrusted to governor
sent from Spain. The rest of the sixteenth
century was marked by exploring expeditions
the founding of settlements and cities, and
wars with the natives. Early in the seven
teenth century the Biscayan merchant organi-
cation, Compania Guipuzcoana secured the
right to control the Venezuelan trade, on con-
dition that it put an end to the Illicit trade
with Curacao and chance foreign ships. For
so years this worked fairly well, but eventu-
ally the Compania found 1t more profitable to
enter into arrangements of mutual advantage
with the Curacao merchants. This soon led
to great popular opposition, threatening civil
war in 1748, but the Compania maintained its
hold until 1778. The nominal government was

forced to retire to Jamaica, but In January,
1877 he returned, established government
at Angostura, a position which he succeeded
in making secure by December lS19 when
the congress at Angostura elected him presi'
dent of Colombia, representing a new republic
embracing Venezuela and New Granada. On
June a. 1921, the decisive victory OF Bolivar
and Paez at Carabobo over the royalist army
practically ended the Spanish domination in
this part of South America. In 1929 Venezue-
la under the influence of Paez, seeded from
Colombia and constituted itself an independent
republic The subsequent history of the coun-
try was uneventful until 1886, when an era
of insurrection and civil wars began between
the conservative and liberal factions, which
lasted, with scarcely break, down to 1870.
In 1854 a law for the abolition of slavery was
enacted. Realizing the hopeessness of con-
tending with Great Britain in arms, the Vene-
zuelan government decided to resort to public
opinion An agent was sent to the United
States, who spread abroad pamphlets and
statements, and interviewed newspaper men
and politicians, and in December. 1894, Presi.

body to appropriate funds ($100000) for a
commission to investigate "the true divisional

tinuous. Though chirch and state are still
united in Venezuela, their relations we're Sc
verely strained several years ago and probably
never again will be quite cordial At the in
stgatlon OF President Castro a national di-
vorce law was framed and introduced in con.
gress Instantly the archbishop and all the
lesser powers OF the church were up in arms
and bitter campaign against the proposed
law was begun. Castro was determined as
usual and soon brought the church to terms
by having drafted a bill to expel the religious
orders. A truce was effected and the divorce
law was passed; and it is only fair to say
that up to the present time there has not been
a single instance of it's abuse. Castro wants
a divorce law so that he can get rid of his
wife," said the detractors of the president, for
1t is notorious fact that the dove of domestic
peace Is not among the scores of birds that
Sonora Castro feeds and fondles at Mirafores,
the presidential palace. But no step ever
has been taken toward legal separation of
zen. and Mrs Castro. They appear in public
together whenever occasion Offers and she is
always proud, serene and self-possessed
Gen. Castro is a vain man, confident of his
own powers, seemingly believing himself a
child of destiny. Probably he does not fully
trust anyone but himself and he seldom takes
the public into his complete confidence He
sits in his apartments in the Yellow house
the administrative building-looks down on the
statue of Bolivar, which is the center of the
citys life, and easily convinces himself that
his services to Venezuela are second only to
those of the great Liberator. He believes
Venezuela is to become the leading nation of
South America, and he bitterly resents what
he considers the affronts which other nations
attempt to put upon it, 1t is the method in
which he expresses this resentment that
causes SO much trouble, for his disregard of
diplomatic usages is most obnoxious to other
governments.
In private life Gen. Castro does not present
an admirable figure. but his faults are such
as are often found in strong characters His
periods of relaxation are as strenuous in their
way as are his periods of work, and his recent
severe attacks OF illness probably are due
largely to overindulgence in pleasures. When
he appears In public he is always dgnfed-
until he begins to dance, when he becomes RI
.diculous. At his home he retains many of the
habits of his soldier days. His chamber at
Mirafiores contains $4,000 bed, but he sleeps
on an iron cot In a corridor. His marble bath
is fitted with everything the most fastidious
could desire, but he turns on tap in small
courtyard and stands under the cold stream.
All in ALL Gen. Castro II he does not soon
