May Violate Neutrality Act.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The coming to
America. under the name of Ruiz CT
prianO DiZo, one time President and
practically dictator of Venezuela, was,
today, notified to the state department
from the American embassy in Paris
The Venezuelan exile is aboard the La
Touraine, which is due in New York,
next Saturday, and the state depart
ment is confronted with the disagree
able question of what to do with him.
Castro has been kept under surveil-
lance as much as possible, for the past
three years, though now and then he
has disappeared from the sight and
knowledge of the state department.
1t is admitted that if Castro is to be
kept out of the United States it must
re done under color Of the public
health laws and regulations, fer there
is no legal charge against him that
would warrant such action.
Officials, today, said Castro would
be subject to a rigid examination up
on landing to determine his admiss-
ability to the country, but no official
was prepared, today, to say whether
the government as a matter of policy
would go to extremes to keep the Ven
eZuelan out.
officials here would not hazard
guess as to the purpose of Castros
visit. Should the eX-President cherish
a design of starting another revolu-
ton against the government of Presi-
dent Gomez in Venezuela, it was

difficult field for his operations in this
country. where his every move would
be watched by agents of the depart
