BOUND TO SUPPORT

Latter Entered Into Agree
ment for Settlement of
Claims, Which are
Now Threatened

WASHINGTON, July 9Th @
landing OF former President Castro
in Venezuela Is regarded by the gov
eminent officials here as a matter
which Is pregnant of great trouble
for the navy. IL appears TO be an
established principle that the United
States is bound to support the gov
eminent of Gomez, he having been
elevated to the presidency by the
naval demonstration against Castro
which made his fight to obtain the
presidency fruitless. In addition to
that, President Gomez entered into
agreement with the United States
for a settlement of claims which
had been repudiated by Castro and
there was a tacit international agree
ment that no nation would allow Cas-
tro a base from which to operate
against Gomez,
1t is stated here that should Cas-
tro surprise Caracas and set UP a
government, he would be kept there
until the United States shall have
found means to dislodge him. In
order to make Castro's usurpation
vaiueless II is understood that the
navy will assist the Gomez govern
ment In retaining possession of La
Guayara and all the seaports Of
Venezuela which are accessible to the
ships Of the navy.
Plan is Mapped Out.
The war department during the
Castro regime mapped out a plar
by which Caracas could be captured
but the details were never published
because the capture OF such strong
hold is regarded as one OF the feats
of modern warfare. Maps Of the
winding road among the mountains
from Caracas of La Guyara were
made and the whole scheme OF re
ducing the capital was perfected b,
the war college
1t is expected that the navy de-
partment will begin In a day or tive
to send additional ships to the Yves
Indies with view of aiding Gomez
In the way thus outlined. The de
termination of the government ap
pears to be that II would nevel

STATEMENT
MISSING FROM FILES

WITH LAND CASE CONES TO
SIMPLE QUESTION OFF
vERACITY

WASHINGTON. July 9.--Miss NJ.
F. Abbott. who claims to- have dis
covered In the files Of the Interior
Department letter from Richard S.
Ryan. a promoter. to former Secretary
Baliinger. attriouting to Charles p.
TAFT the influence which prompted
the reorening of Controller Bay lands
in Alaska. Will tell her story under
oath tomorrow to the House commit
tee on expenditures in the Interior
Department
Mise Abbott added to her story to-
day the statement that before her
charges were printed the Secretary
} of the Interior went over the manu-
script OF her articles with her and
j that she showed him in the files the
letter which has created such a sem
sation in Washington.
Secretary Fisher, she says, chai-
Ilenged her statements whereupon she
t had him send for the flies. and he
read with her the alleged letter from
Ryan to Ballinger, In which use is
made of the name Of Charles p. Taft
Miss Abbott to-day also limited at
fresh revelations of sensational ma
ture which viii come at the investi-
CATION that begins tomorrow. She
was served with subpoena from the
committee last night and to-day spent
some time In consultation with Chair
man Graham and other members OF
the investigating committee.
In addition to Miss Abbott, Fred
1 bennett. commissioner of the general
land office. will also be examined to-
morrow.
Chairman Graham. who was a
member of the BalIinger- Pinchot in
ves'igaiing committee, plans a thor
fought examination of this latest phase
OF that historic affair. which has Gre
ated a sensation In Washington. Chief
Interest centers about the alleged let
ter, or rather postscript, which, at
tached to the letter to Bailinger by a
wire clip, as explained by Miss ABB
bolt. Is now reported to have disap-
peared. The facts as to this will come
out when Secretary Fisher returns
Ito town. all Information having been
refused at the Interior Department
in his absence.
Brown. the former private secre-
tary, will be an essential witness. and
II the letter has disappeared. or IL
the Interior Department head denies
that 10 ever existed. the situation will
then resolve itself in to a matter OF
the word OF Fisher and Brown against
Miss Abbott, with the White House
backing up the Interior Department.
Factions Take Sides.
The two factions In the publican
party are already taking sides in the
ease. Miss Abbott will have the full
support Of proEressives, headed by
senator La Toilette. while the Yegu
