Through the courtesy of the Hispania
cable Association, from its headquar-
tors IN this city. The Tribune prints
herewith interviews with General Por-
Ado Diaz, General CiprIano Castro and
dents, respectively, Of Mexico. Venez-
uela and Nicaragua. These cable state
ments by the three leading characters
NJ recent years in Latin America are
called forth by the report circulated in
,bis city by Heriberto Barron, once a
candidate for the Presidency of Mexico
snd now financial agent Of the Mexican
government In this country. that Gen
eral Dlaz. General Castro and General
Zelaya had met IN Europe in further
ance Of a conspiracy to foment insur-
rectjons in their countries and at the
same time stir up anti-American senti-
nient,
The Hispania Gable Association as
signed It's cable correspondents 10 see
have been received from General DtaZ
IN Paris, General Castro in Las Palmas,
Canary Islands. and General Zelays in
Barcelona, Spain. All deny the charge
OF conspiracy made by Senior Barron.
General Disz says his only desire
now. as far as Mexico is concerned, Is
70 see It prosperous. happy and In
peace. and that he win not return ex-
cept IN case Of foreign war. Gen
eral z.laya takes occasion TO criucise
the United States for the part this
country is taking in the disturbed re-
public.
General Castro Belliserent
The statement OF General Castro is
quite different from those of the two
other eXiled former Chief Executives.
His interview bristles with belliger-
ence. He denies that he has anything
IN common with General Diaz and Cen
eral Zelaya, but makes a covert threat
10 "liquidate' AT a not far distant time
the "aggravations and affronts" that
he has suffered from his enemies. The
III man Of the Andes says he is much
better I'm health and on the way 10
complete recovery.
His statement seems 10 bear out re-
ports that from time TO time have been
published that he still harbors a strong
desire 10 head the government at Ca
racas. He has the means 10 attempt
TO satisfy this ambition. He also has
IN his veins the blood OF the Caribbean
Indian, and the love of vengeance is
strong within him. Also. Indianlike,
he has kept his own counsel. He has
iyed quietly and unostentatiously in
the Canary Islands, the interview here
printed being the first that he has
given since he went 10 his present
exile.
Also II is the first direct statement
from General Castro that he purposes
getting even with his enemies, al
though Il has been unoficially an
nounced. So far as was known in this
country, the BLACK Eagle Of the
Andes" was incurably IN, and never
would again be able TO stand the rigors
OF a military campaign. His interview
seems TO oissipate this view. Says Gen
ersl Castro, with q gesture Or dis
gust:
