Port of Spain, Trinidad, March 21.-Gen. Cipriano Castro, the deposed President of Venezuela, has been residing in Port of Spain since last July. His presence was discovered today by police. who were searching house which has been occupied by his brother. Gen. Carmelo Castro.
 According to his own story, the ex- President came here on a Royal Mall steamer from Southampton. He kept to his cabin on the voyage and as he was clean shaven when he landed, he escaped recognition. He has remained in seclu- sion, he said, because of persecution which he has suffered everywhere since leaving Venezuela. He declared that he has been surrounded by spies and agents of Juan Vicente Gomez, the Venezuelan President.
 General Castro today expressed confi- ish government. No arms were found in the house and apparently he had no connection with the arms seized during the raid of hotel here yesterday.

Weather Conditions

Birmingham, March 21.-G P. M)-The barometric pressure is rising over the gulf states and clearing weather already prevails in the western cotton states, ex- cept along the coast.
 It is still cloudy over the eastern gulf region and along the western gulf coast. Rain or snow was falling at stations in tho south Atlantic states tonight. It was srowing at Atlanta at D. m.
 The easterly winds that prevailed today
 in Alabama are becoming northerly with the eastward advance of the area of .high barometers. and this will cause a continuance of moderately cold weather in this state through Sunday.

LITTLE INTEREST IN
 SELMA PRIMARIES
None of Present City Officers Have Opposition for Re- Election.
 Registration Books Open

Selma. March 21.-(Special.) )-Litttle in terest is being taken in the municipal pri- naries which are to be held here Mon day. So little interest is being taken in the election that the majority of the voters of the city hardly know an election is to be held here. The little interest which is being manifested in the election is caused from the fact that none of the present city officers have opposition for reelection. The only interest in the cleo ton is in the three-cornered race in the Fifth ward for membership to the city council from that ward. It is expected that not more than 300 votes will be cast in the five different wards of the city in the election to be held Monday.

The Ase-1Ieraid has taken a straw vote Of the state.
 This vote, secured after weeks of labor, indicates that the next senator from Ala bama will be Oscar W. Underwood. The result by counties will be published in The Age-Herald next Sunday.
 The result of the "election" is in ac- cordance with the idea which generally prevails-that the captain is badly ee- feated and that the number of counties which he will carry will be few and far between.''
 Despite this fact, there have been q large number of wagers made. Hobson followe-3 have wagered that the captain would carry Walker ciunty, that the ma jority for Underwood in Jefferson would not be larger than the majority for Hob- son throughout the state; that the un- derwood majority would not exceed cer- tain figure.
 But no Hobson man, as far known has accepted wager that the captain will be elected.
 Some days ago a well known sportsman of Birmingham encountered well known sportsman of Walker county. The former believes that Underwood will win. The latter believes that Hobson will win.
 Both were in position to secure funds to any reasonable amount
 As a result of their dispute, some ons suggested a wager. It was eventually agreed that the Birmingham man should meet the Walker county man the follow ing morning in bank at Jasper-there tc post the wager.
 The following morning was cold aad rainy. The Birmingham man telephoned the Walker county man. The latter told the former to breast the storm and carry out his agreement. The Birmingham man did so.
