REVOLUTION IS BREWING CASTRO THREATENED BY PREP ARATIONS IN TRINSDAD. They Gather Forces Near His Realm, and He Increases Army Guarding His Capital'Agalnst Outbreak." TRINIDAD. March 19. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Curacao has ceased to be the heaftjuarters for Vene zuelan revolutionists, and they seem to have centered their activity on this isl and. It Is rumord here that financial as sistance has come to the enemies of Pres ident Castro, and that General Paredes is the leader chosen to head the move ment. Although persons familiar with the sit uation and the strength of Castro's re sources believe no revolutionary move ment will be effective, still the activity of the revolutionists is a source of con stant annoyance to him. and they seem to be stronger now than at any time since the close of tho Matos revolution. Generals Riera and Pcnaloza, who formerly lived in Curacao, are now In this Island co-operating with General Paredes. All of these officers fought In the Matos revolution and have good war records. Paredes Is about 35 years old. and Is reputed to be an able leader. Officials in Caracas have been much disturbed by the rumors of activity In Trinidad, and the French coast cable re cently was cut to prevent tho revolution ists here from communicating with their party in Venezuela and on the island of Curacao. President Castro has In creased hls military forces In Caracas to 2000. The " country districts have been drawn on- for soldiers and within three weeks the number of troops In the Vene zuelan capital has been raised from 500 to. about 1000. COLOMBIA MAY FIGHT CASTRO Chafes at Restrictions Placed on" the Trade With Venezuela. TRINIDAD. March 19. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) President Cas tro has again refused to resume diplo matic relations with Colombia, and In so doing has created a situation which. man' South American diplomats fear, will load to war between Colombia and Vene zuela. Last year President Reyes visited Pres ident Castro- in Caracas and It was rumored that -at that time their differ ences were partly settled, but such was not the case. President Castro "has per sistently refused to permit Colombia to carry on trade except under conditions which are almost prohibitory, through Maracalbo and other ports near the o as tern boundary of Colombia, which af ford a natural outlet for Colombian prod ucts which can be marketed at other ports only at a great loss. Uhls dis crimination against Colombia has almost ruined the trade of one of the richest sections of tho republic and has also brought great loss to Venezuelans who depended on that trade. President Castro disregarded the requests of both Vene zuelans and Colombians, however; his purpose being to punish Colombia for Its alleged assistance to the Matos revolu tion, r At present Colombia is in such an un settled condition and Its finances are so low that war seems unlikely, but diplo mats familiar with South American poli tics believe the time is not far distant when Colombia will take arms against Venezuela, If the commercial restrictions placed upon the eastern part of Colombia by Castro arc not modified. WAITING FOR CASTRO'S LETTER Government Will Continue Negotia tions Unless It is Insolent. WASHINGTON, March 27. It has been decided to await the reception of the exact text of President Castro's refusal to accept Minister Bo wen's arbitration proposition before proceeding further with the negotiations in this line. It is realized that there may only bo a fair difference of opinion as to whether or not the Venezuelan response was couched in discourteous language, and It may be that at this distance from the seat of negotiations and after the lapse of a few days the words which appeared to Mr. Bowen to be Insolent will admit of a dif ferent construction. The disposition is to move circumspectly at least at this end, and, unless President Castro chooses to force n Issue by an other move at Caracas, it is believed that some time will be consumed In reaching a settlement. Awaits Decision of Court. PARIS. March 27. The Venezuelan" status is unaltered, the officials hero taking tho view that no action will be taken until the Caracas court decides the question pending in regard to the conces sion of the French Cable Company.

It Is understood that Lord Salisbury wrote the letter without consulting the Pre mier, and that he. a member of the gov ernment, should so bluntly repudiate Mr. Chamberlain's policy and emphasize the strong divergence of views in tho Union ist oarty on tho fiscal question is con sidered not only an. indiscreet, but a tact loss move, which Mr. Chamberlain and his party will bo bound ft "resent. A letter from Mr. Chamberlain in re ply to Lord Salisbury's communication an rears in the Times this morning, in which, after expressing regret that Lord Salisbury should think Je had misappre hended his father's views, he proceeds to give extracts from speeches delivered by the late Lord Salisbury between lis- ana Hat. which.
