It is said that Mr. Russell' repre
sentation will take the form of show
in President Castro that it is tb. de
sire of the United State to have the
Frenih controversy adjusted. The ques
tion which it is necessary to adjust is
tbe withdrawal ol the offensive fiction
taken by the government of Venesuela
toward M. Taigny, the French charge
d'affaires
Thereafter the question of compen
sating the French Cable company fo
its losses, and redress for expulsion
from Venesuela, of M. Bran, the man
ager of the company, remain to be ad
justed. No difficulty is apprehended
in arranging the commercial feature of
the case, if President Castro first cor
rects his discourtesy toward the repre
sentative of the French government.
