TAKES UP CASTR0'S CASE
Secretary NageI Considering
Request to Sail Saturday.
Receives No Callers.

Cipriano Castro's case has not been
settled. despite the willingness of the
former Venezuelan dictator to get out
Of the United States.
Secretary Nagel today began con-
sideration Of Castro's request to be
permitted to sail Saturday on the
steamer Amerika for Germany. He
came from France. SO that presents a
vexatious problem with the possibility
that should Germany bar him he
would be returned to New York and
finally to France. Castro has raised
another complication by wishing to
leave without having the United States
pass upon his admissibility.
Whether he will sail Saturday on
the Amerika probably depends upon
whether the line will receive him as a
passenger with the possibility Of being
obliged to bring him back to Ellis
Island.

At the "Oil Well"

Things have not been running alto
gether smoothly at the oil we'll site near
this place since our last report. One
day last week, while bailing out, the
bailer stuck and was finally pulled out in
two sections; and, as it had telescoped,
a section or so of the smaller casing was
brought out with it. Yesterday every
thing was again in 'ship shape" and
bailing was resumed. AS soon as this
work is completed and the well has been
permitted to stand idle a day the driller
will be able to gauge the flow of its oil
If it is in too small quantity to class as
a paying pumper he will drill deeper. II
is known that the depth of the well is
about 1000 feet, and that it is the bes
thing yet developed in our parish.
All the foregoing we picked up here
and there from street conversations an(
it's strict accuracy as whole we do no
vouch for. However, it is believed tina
