March 24. After reading his special message to Congress today. General Castro -withdrew his resignation of the Presidency of Vene zuela. President Castro's special mes sage was delivered to Congress this after noon. He says: "When I abdicated it was not from any small minded nor Interested calculation, still less was it the result of any sorry or ridiculous farce which has no place in a heart warmed by the heat of great Ideals." He then says he believes his abdication was a duty imposed upon him in the interests of peace. "With my separation today." he said, "nobody would lose and all would gain, since this -would imply that my efforts and my sacrifices were always and under all circumstances at the service of the republic at its flrst call." After passing in review the other diffi culties in the way of the government, he saw how his intentions were misrepre sented and he was disheartened and at that moment resigned. "Notwithstanding those reasons, which were weighty to my mind," he continues, "Congress does not accept my resignation and insists that I should continue, that I should not persist therein, but considers me still useful in the government. I bow before its desire and resign myself to the new obligations imposed 'by my country, but only until the work of pacifying the nation shall be complete and order re established In the public administration.
