Judge Ward of the Federal district
court in New York, decided last Sat
urday that Cipriano Castro, the former
president of Venezuela, has right 70
90 and come as he pleases in the Unit
ed States. Castro, who has for some
time past been a man without a coun-
try. arrived at New York some weeks
ago and under instructions from the
state department at Washington, the
immigration officials refused to allow
him to land. The state departments
real reason was the fear that Castro
would make New York headquarters
for stirring up more trouble in Vene-
zuela, from which country he was
driven some time back. The objection
raised, however, was that Castro was
an undesirable and he was charged
with having committed a murder In
Venezuela. Judge Wood holds that
Castro has a right under the Federal
statutes to enter this country ana al
though he may not enjoy constitution
al guarantees he has rights under the
laws that must be respected.

Ell Paso, Texas, February 10: Emil
lilo VasQuez Gomez, recently released
OH bond at San Antonio, Tex, todaA
crossed the border at Columbus, n. NJ,
and proclaimed himself president OF
Mexico 1t is reported that Gomez was
met below the line by band of rebels,
led by Col. David De La Fuente, Gen.
Sa.azar's chief Of staff, who always has
been Vasquista. Emilio Vasquez Go
mez and his brother, DR.. Francisco
Vasquez Gomez. played prominent
parts in the Madero revolution. Emilio
was a member of the De La Barra pro-
visional cabinet. During Orozoco's oc-
cupancy of Juarez, during the Orozco
revolt Emilio came to Juarez to be-
come provisional president, but was
put in Jail by Orozco. The estrange-
ment Of the two rebel leaders never
has been explained. Later Gomez was
released and came to the United States
where he was arrested on charges OF
neutrality violation. Recently he was
released on bond at San Antonio. In
kilograms sent here today, Senior Go
mez said he would appoint his cabinet
at once, declaring himself provisional
president of Mexico by virtue. Of the
plan of San Luis Potosi which was re-
formed at Tacubya and Ayula. The
Tacubaya amendment to the original
programme of Francisco /. Madero
proclaimed Gomez president and was
accepted at the time by rebel Gems. Or
ozco and Zapata- The Vasquists assert
that his stand of the rebels for Gomez
has not been altered since and that now
they will rally to his call. The difficult
ty with Orozco, it is pointed out, will
not matter now, as OroZco has disap-
peared and SalaZar is the acting COM
mander- in chief of the northern rebels.
1t is conceded that the influence OF Col.
De La Fuenta will be sufficient to
bring Salazar and Gomez to satisfac-
tory understanding.
Mexico City, February 16 Hostili-
ties between the Mexican rebels and
federals were resumed today with re-
newed fierceness in the Mexican capital
after a truce which lasted only few
hours The armistice, signed at 2
o'clock Sunday morning by the repre-
sentatives of both sides agreeing to
suspend operations for twenty-four
hours, was broken before noon. Soon
the sound of heavy cannonading and
the whir of machine guns announced
the return of the federal troops to their
posts in front of the arsenal. 1t ap-
peared as If the words Of President
Madero and Gen. DiaZ might prove
would be to a finish. President Madero
this morning reiterated his refusal to
comply with the suggestion Of the SEN
ators that he resign. He declared that
he was still able to dominate and that
if given time he would crush the rebel
forces Gen. Diaz had not shown him
self to be greatly in favor Of the armis-
tice, but consented to it out of respect
for the efforts of the American ambas-
sador and the ministers of the powers
to bring about a cessation of hostilities
until foreigners and other on-combat-
ants, still within the zone of the night
ing, could be removed to a position OF
comparative safety. Diaz regarded the
truce as merely delay In the accom-
plishment of his fixed purpose to drive
Madero out of the presidency. The
fight Saturday had undoubtedly gone
in favor of the rebels, who had resisted
all assaults against them; had received
into their ranks several federal desert
ers and had obliged the federal COM
manders to admit that for the present
at least the rebel position was impreg-
nable. Gen. Huerta, the commander of
