SHIP WITH j. S. FLAG
. MAY CARRY GEN. CASTRO
Vessel Reported to Be Cruising
Along the North Coast
of Venezuela.

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, June 27.-Ru-
mors are af1oat that steamer flying the
American flag and either having on board
Gen. Cipriano Castro. or operated in the
interests Of the exiled former President
OF Venezuela, is cruising off the Vene-
zuelan north coast.
According to report, the steamer sent a
small boat ashore on the island of Aruba,
about fifteen miles north of the mainland.
for provisions. The sailors told the people
Of Aruba that their craft was an excur-
sion ship from Sierra Leone. which is due
east of Caracas and Is connected by
steamer lines with the Canary Islands to
the north. Castro Is supposed to have
left the Canary Islands about May 1.
Reports Are Conflicting.
While some insist that the mysterious
vessel belongs to Castro. who is said to
be planning a descent on the Venezuelan
coast. others say that it was a schooner
and not a steamer. All reports agree
that she few the American colors.
Aruba Island is a dependency Of Cura-
Gao. forty-two miles to the westward.
and, in view of the attitude of the Meth
erlands government toward Castro, is
not a spot which he would choose as a
base for the invasion of Venezuela.

FROST LAST NIGHT.
It Was at DEVILS Lake, N. D., But
Is Moving Eastward.

A sharp frost, making men shiver II
they had left their overcoats at home,
descended upon the weather situation last
night at Devils Lake, N. d. The frost
will be felt in Washington perhaps to-
night or tomorrow. but 1t will not be SO
sharp as it was out west. The best the
forecaster could say of 1t this morning
when a Star reporter talked to him was:
well. that frost out there is coming east.
That is. the general cool weather Of the
northwest will descend on US tonight and
tomorrow perhaps. and will send the mer-
curry down."
Washington had eighty degrees of its
own this morning at o'clock and ninety
degrees at noon. Washington is not the
hottest place in the country. The hot
weather extends over the east and south
with a generous regularity.
Perhaps there will be showers this
evening IL the Devils Lake weather
pushes the eastern warmth away with
sufficient vigor. Showers are on the
books, and unless they are scratched off the
white fiannels and summer lawn dresses
will get wetting this evening. Showers
are sure for tomorrow. as sure as an in
formal weather forecast given offhand
over the telephone can be.

CAILLAUX TO FORM CABINET.
Formally Accepts Invitation Of Pres.
ident Eallieres of France.

PARIS June 27.-Joseph Caillaux to-
day formally accepted President Falliere's 8
invitation to organize a ministry to sue
ceed that OF NJ Monis, which resigned
after being in power not quite four
months.
The new cabinet probably will be made
up in part as follows:
NJ. Callaux. premier and minister OF
the interior: Jean Cruppi. justice; Jus
tin G. De Selves. foreign affairs: Eugene
Etienne or Adolphe Messfmy. war: Theo-
phile Delcasse. marine: Jules steeg. pub
lie instruction: L. L. Klotz. finance.
Caillaux offered Poincare his choice OF
the portfolios Of foreign affairs or war.
but he preferred the ministry OF Justice.
AZ this did not harmonize with Caillaux' s
ideas of a combination from political
standpoint, Poincare will not enter the
new government
