VENEZUELAN PRESS BOUGHT Urge Sums ol Money Spent to Favor a Cer lilt Company la (be Asphalt Coo trovcrsy Fsiurt Rcvolu (loot Improbable. NEW YORK. May 29.-A dispatch to the Herald from Caracas say: The correspondent of the Herald has just obtained an interview with Pres ident Castrj und.M unusual circum stances. The interview was obtained In the presence of minister of foreign affairs. Dr. Blxno. surrounded by in terpreters. In order that Gtneral Oaa tro'a message to the United States might reflect accurately his views it wn first revised by him In English, translated into Spanish and revised again, rewritten In Spanish as to cer tain expressions and translated into Kngllsh again. "Our republic," said General Cas:ro. "enloya perfect peace. There Is no dis turbance anywhere, nor do we expect any. We are devoting; all our time to arranging our Internal affairs and pro moting the prosperity of Veneaueians. We do not nee any clouJ on the hori aon. With regard to any supposed wrong misunderstanding with our sis ter republic of the United Stat we have nothing to fear because the mat ter that it refers to Is the asphalt con troversy whlh Is at present in the tribunals where It will be decided. What is to be regretted in this question Is that a person invested with an official character seems to have taken part in the affair. I refer to Mr. Loomis." "Do you knw of any bribery in the asphalt controversy or whether any at tempt was made to bribe tbe official or the tribunals of Venexuela?" was asked. "I Ignore completely whether any per son tried to bribe the parties you in dicate and I am sure that none of them is capable of being bribed. What 1 know is that large sums of money have been spent to get part of the Venetue lan press to favor the Interests of a certain company. This is public and notorious, also the faet that while the dispute was at its height large amounts of money were rec?ivc?d by an indi vidual, and It is indicated that the lat sums received by him were between 120.600 to $25,000." "It is said in the United States that American life and capital are not safe iu Venetuela and that American capital Is not desired here." "The first assertion is so false an 1 absurl." aid General Castro, with a shrug .of the shoulders, "that I leave It to be contraJL-ted by any pers n who may visit Venezuela from abroad. With regard to the second question I can inly say that lately I tried to ne gotiate a 'oan in the United Siates of America which I susect has fallen through owing to the influences an 1 work of Mr. Loimis. It is well to m-n-tlon that Mr. Ixrnls was the first per son to indicate to ne that it was s nilile to obtain the loan in America Through his mediation Mr. Meyers, wh . was to have carrk-J out the OperatI in. -am,' to Caracas and Mr. Loomi was present at all the conferences with the said financial agent." President Castro was asked what should take place if the United States government decided to send Mr. Iv imis bat'k to Caracas. "I don't think that the United States government will Lend Mr. Loomis back to Caracas," he replied, "because I consider that government Inspired with the ue3t wishes to maintain cordial re lations with Venezuela as we desire that the same be daily -nore and more sin cere and cordial. I never presumed lUW lICGIIIiy r's'-rra S nature supplying the healing k ITlfe 0 sC ',a'm tn the form of healthy, new blood ; but when the Ban til circulation is tainted with poisonous germs, humors or any Jr I effete matter, a slight fccratch or abrasion of tbe bit in becomes a festering sore, tiny pimples grow to be boils, rwollen joints and inflamed glands often Drtak out into offensive, slow healing sores. A polluted blood is always a menace to health ; not only does it keep the skin in a chronic state of inflammation, but every organ and fibre of the body suffers from an impure and sluggish circulation. You never feel well, you art not and never can be well until the system is relieved of its terrible load of impuri ties. With the blood so contaminated, so deeply poisoned, ulcers, boils and sores of every kind are apt to become chronic and often develop into Cancer. i i ..i ,,.. wres anu u.. , j became afllicte d with a severe .or. l.g and often caused by poverty of from the kne, to the foot wa, one iolld iore the blood and a weak anu which was slow circulation, brought on by long continued sickness, malarial poisoning, torpid liver, the use of mercury, or whatever is calculated to de stroy the vitality of the blood and break down the constitu tion. These old chronic sores last sometimes for years, eat ing into the flesh, muscles, tissues, and even down into the bones, and are such a tax upon the system that it is bard for the patient to recuperate, and a simple malady often proves fatal. Nothing so quickly or surely restores lost strength and vitality to the blood as S. S. S. It is an antidote for the severest forms of Blood Poison, as well as the irritating humors that cause the eruptions and sores that sap your very life and so greatly disfigure you. S. S. S. is the only guaranteed purely vegetable blood puri fier. It contains no mercury, potash, arsenic or other hurtful drug. It cleanses the blood and purifies the circulation, thus ridding the system of the impurities that keep the sores feverish and painful. At the same time your general health improves under the tonic effects of S. S. S., and the skin becomes 6oft, smooth and healthy. If you are troubled with boils, carbuncles, sores or eruptions of any sort, write our physicians all about your case; don't risk vour own judgment when you can get medical advice from experienced doctors free.

I will go first to the State of Los Andes and on my return here I will prieeed to the State of Bolivar and to the other states to the east of the republic.
