Washington, April 9.— Administra

ment over the statements in President
Caatro'e official organ, El Conatituoion,
having as their basis the Tacoma mail
pooch opening incident. The editorial
■ eceived the closest attention. Mingled
with the feeling of amazement over the
sentiments of President Castro is one
of regret and mystification over ths
whole course which Venezuela haa pur
sued in dealing with the United States.
“ The United States has been a good
friend to Venezuela,” said a high offi
cial of the State department today.
"T w ice within the last 16 veais we
have gone to Venezuela’s aid when
that country needed assistance.”
For this reason he could not under
stand why Venezuela has acted as it
hag.
Daring President Cleveland’s
second term, when [Great Britain was
threatening to encroach upon Vene
zuela's territory, Mr. Cleveland sent a
message to congress which had the re
sult of referring the question to the
king of Holland for impartial settle
ment.
Several years later, when the allied
powers were threatening a blockade of
Venezuelan ports to compel payment of
her foreign obligations, the United
States, through Minister Bowen, step
ped in and averted such a move.
Again the question was averted to H ol
land.
; The Navy department today received
a report from Commander John Hood,
of the cruiser Tacoma, containing de
tails touching the opening of the mail
carried by that vessel at the La Guayra
postoffice. It agrees substantially with
the published statements, and the offi
cials are satisfied the opening was in
advertent.
A ll the correspondence'on the Vene
zuelan question is now before congress.
Administration officials frankly ad
mit they will not be surprised should
there be some delay. The issues pre
sented are such that time should be
given, they say, for thorough study of
the situation.
Han Francisco, April 7.— Admiral
Robley D. Evans, in an interview
printed in the Chronicle today, said:
“ The greater interest of the United
States today is in the Pacifio. The
coming of the fleet to this coast has not
oDly demonstrated to the world that we
have 16 battleships which can be
brought together for a long ernise at a
moment’s notice, but it has called the
attention of the people of our own
country to the fact that we have a Pa
cific coast aa well aa an Atlantio coast,
and that it will be defended just aa
much as every inch of land around New
York, and that our interests in the Pa
cific today are greater than in the At
lantic.
“ This is the short road to the coun
tries of the Far East, where the greatest
commercial development is to be. With
development w ill come war, but it will
be a commercial war, fought with
brains and dollars and not with 10-inch
guns, it w ill be generated by such men
aa Harriman, and the part of the navy
is onjy to be always ready. We do not
