FRANCE MERELY TO IjOOK OX Wilt Let Holland Attend to Spank ing of Castro. PARIS. Aug. 22. Although France is watching with interest the developments of the Holland-Venezuelan situation. owing to her own troubles with the South American republic, it can be raid au thoritatively that she does not intend to mix in any way in the present contro versy.

There Is some conviction here in well informed circles that it would be unwise for Holland to land troops in Venezuela, as this action would immediately be the signal for patriotism and result In the uniting of the Castroltes and those who oppose Castro for' the defense of trie country. It is believed an effective blockade would be more potent and sue- cessful. BLACKLISTS VENEZUELA PORTS Dutch West Indian Steamship Com' pany Curtails Its Service. WIIJLEMSTAD. Aug. 22.
