SITUATION IS STRAINED France and Venezuela are on Bad Terms. CASTRO IS OBDURATE Refuses to Communicate With M. Tiiny, the French Charse d' Affairs. FRENCH PRIDE IS WOUNDED 0a Kw Ytai'i Day F ranch Beceiv VauU'i Ambassador With Boa era, but Caatro Will Hot Bar Any thing fo do With M. TaJpy. WASHINGTON, Jan. !2.-Although the present breach of diplomatic rela tion between Franc and VcnetueU is technically rhargabl against th per sonality . of M. Taigny, th French Charge d'AfTair at Caracas, Die real is it it is umlcrstod her is th attack by President Castro of the propertic and franchises of the French Cable Company. Tb President baa asserted that tha Cable Company had lent ac tive assUtanro to th Mato rebellion. Therefor ho began proceeding in the Venetuelan court against th company on that acoro, and also complained that th company had violated the term of its concession in not hying certain coast line of cable especially In cross ing the Island of San Domingo with land wire inbject to frequent inter ruption in time of rebellion on that island. Tb court auitained the President' view and in fact practically took poeion of the company' office at t-ertain point when th French gov ernment Intervened. In the absence of th regular minister M. Taigny present ed a written protest to the Veneiuelan government. President Catro regard ed thi. not a insulting to his govern ment and refused to have anything more to do with M. Taigny. But the French government refused to allow the dispute to lo made a personal one, and In-lared M. Taigny in hi present ment had followed precisely the in- t met ion from bia foreign office. At tiiis point Russell, th American minister at Caracaa intervened in the interest of peac and after many pa tient exchanges, it wa believed that he had finally succeeded. Hut while be induced President Castro to withdraw. a not refusing to do business with M. Taigny. which note the French govern ment regnrded a o(Tt-nive, he could not prevail upon' President Castro to re sume official relation with th French Charge d'Affalrs. Th climax came on N'cw Year'a day when tho French gov ernment aupposing that a satisfactory settlement had been reached, received with the tiMial honors of the New Year day reception, the Venezuelan minister at Paris, only to learn that President Castro had refused to do likewise fur M. Taigny at Caracaa. Thi omission touched tho prido of tho French govern ment which felt it bad been mad th victim of doubl dealing and deceit, which fact the French ambassador in Washington wai not alow to communi cate to th State Department. Russell realited hi failure to effect a settlement thereby making himself unpopular in Caracaa and then cam the notk from tho French government that diplomatic relation with Vne auela had been completely aevered. There I a hint of punltlv measure on th part of the French and th situa tion it regarded aa officially very un pleasant, with possibilities of Mriooa consequence. At Send.r'i Risk, NEW YORK, Jan, 12.
