From Il semi-ofiicial Venezuelan
source it was learned last night that
the Caracas government has not con
cerned itself about the arrival mere "l
General Castro and that no rcprescn-
tations have been made for the de
portation Of the disturber. This IN
formant said
We are not bothering about Gen
eral Castro So far AS We are con-
cerned he does not exist. and certainly
he is dead politically in Venezuela lilS
power is entirely gone. Besides our
improved and increased army. when
now numbers 5000 men. there are
II 900 men employed by the govern
ment on the building of roads whose
Jobs and livelihood depend on the peace
and prosperity Of the nation. II any
one should try 10 disturb the tranqul
condition that exists every one OF these
men would put down his shovel sPd'o
or pick and take up rifle IN defence
of the government So as far as we
are concerned we don't care what pe-
comes of Castro
The statement Of General castro
that the Gomez government conhsca'ed
his property in Venezucla, on when
he placed a value OF 2J,oJo,ED francs,
csused much amusement among per
sons who know Of the slender title mat
he held 10 this property. IL VIII De
remembered that Castro was Only
cattle herder when he started the rcNo-
lution against President Andrade that
made him President. That was IN 1871
In the succeeding nine years General
Castro-a poor man when he became
Northumberland the immense
fortune the loss of which he now
mourns But the property ne leit
behind in Venezuela when he sailed TOT
Europe was only part of the wealth
he acquired.
II is known that he had transferred
IN Europe another fortune which is
estimated from 100000 TO $1,000
600. and it is all in cash, on deposit In
London.
II was pointed out that the property
he acquired and now claims as his own
legally belonged to other persons, ana
I'm the course of General Castros arbi-
trarv rule was confiscated by him for
his own benefit This property has
been restored TO the legitimate owners,
so far as they could be found, some Of
them having long ago abandoned hope
OF ever recovering it.
One Of the fortunate men who re-
claimed property that belonged to him
and was seized by Castro was Ortega
Martinez. who successfully established
ownership to an interest In certain
enterprise that was valued at S2OUD
and which the courts of Venezuela re-
turned to him. Castro had transferred
this TO a German friend so as 10 create
international complications in case an
effort was made to recover 1t. But no
such trouble ever arose. because the
title of Ortega Martinez was clearly
proved In the courts. II has been the
same with other claimants. And the
interest taken b. General Castro for
himself IN enterprises that rightly be-
longed TO the government has also been
diverted to the original purpose.
Some Of the properties to which Gen
eral Castro claimed ownership and
which the government confiscated were
controlling interest in the railway
