CASTRO PASSES
ON HIS WAY
WANDERING JEW OF MODERN
TIMES LEAVES By MONGOLIA
ron MAINLAND CITY.


Of Venezuela, aud the WAE.
dering Jew Of modern times, has been
forced to continue his never-endlug
journey. For two days he successfully
managed to hide his identity, lying
perdu at the Hawaiian Hotel under tho
name Of Baron J. dc Castro, a French
nobleman and giving out that he was
making pleasure tour of the globe.
Fate was against him, however, and in
qliries made on Friday night as to his
real identity caused him to make prep.
arations for another quick jump. The
steamer Mongolia was leaving for the
Coast and he awaited himself of the
opportunity, still attempting to hide his
identity in the French nobleman and
putting up a big enough bluff to pull
wool over the eyes Of the inquisitive
ones.
Owing to the diplomatic work of his
valet the ex-president managed to fend
off all inquiries made at the hotel on
Friday night by the announcement that
he was out for the evening. Further
inquiries made yesterday show that far
from being out he was in the building
all the time. From a word let fall by
one of the attendants, DR.. Carl Perrin
was communicated with, but for long
time refused to give any information
as to whether he had been with De
Castro OF not. When the known facts
were laid before him, however, he adj
mitted not only the fact that he had
been with the ex-president but also put
the question as to his identity beyond
all doubt.

was when / was dining in the Young
Hotel and he bowed to me. His Sudden
appearance gave me qaite a start at
first, as l had not seen him Tor some
time. He has grown more gray about
the head, but that Is practically the
only difference from the time some

was not surprised last night when his
valet informed me that he wished to

Delicate Political Matters.

On being told that there were som

that perhaps they would not believe
even now that it was really Castro
the doctor smiled and taking his pc

When he had finished he handed tn
following letter to the reporter:

Furthermore, continued the doctor
am willing to deposit my check TO
$4,000 against $500 that am right a
