New York. May 29.—A dispatch to
the Herald from Caracas nays: The
correspondent of the Herald has juet
obtained an interview with President
Cipriano Castro under mnMiial cir-
cumstances. The interview was ob-
tained in the presence of the minis-
ter of foreign affairs Dr. Blanco sur-
rounded by interpreters. In order that
Geueral CaJtro's message to the uni-
ted States might reflect accurately 1:1s
views it was first revised by him iu
English translated into Spanish and
revised again rewritten in Spanish as
to certain expietdious and tiunalgted
into English again.
'Our republic.” said General Castro
"enjoys perfect peace. There is no
disturbance anywhere nor do we ex-
pect any. We are dedicating all oi
our time to arangnig our internal ui
tairs and promoting the prosperity ot
Venezuelans. We doe not see any
cloud on tiie horizon. With regard to
any supposed wrung misunderstand
Ing witn our sister republic tne Unit
ed States we have uoining to fear be-
cause the mutter it refers to Is tne as-
phalt controversy which is at present
in tne tribunals wnere it will lie decid-
ed. What is to be regretted in this
question is that a person invested witn
an official cnaracter seems to have ta
ken part In the affair. I refer to Mr.
Loomis.”
"Do you know of any bribery iu the
asphalt controversy or was any at-
tempt made to bribe the officials or
tribunals of Venezuela’’ was asked.
"Ignore completely whether any
person tried to bribe the parties you
indicate and 1 am sure that none of
them Is capable of being bribed. What
1 know is that large sums of money
have been speut to get part of the
Venezuelan press to favor the inter-
ests of a certain company. This is
public and notorious as also the fact
that while the dispute was at Its
height large amounts of money were
received by an individual ami it is in
dicated that the last sum received by
him was between 129.000 and |25OOO."
"it is said in the United States that
American life and capital are not safe
in Venezuela and that American capi-
tal is not desired here.”
'The first assertion is so false and
absurd” said General Castro "that I
leave it to be contradicted by any per-
son who may visit Venezuela from
abroad. With regard to the second
question I can only say that lately I
tried to negotiate a loan in the United
States of America which I suspect has
fallen through owing to the influence
and work of Mr. Loomis. It is well
to mention that Mr. Ixiomis was the
first person to indicate to me that it
was possible to obtain the loan in
America. Through bis mediation Mr.
Meyers who was to have carried out
the operation* came to Caracas and
Mr. Ixiomis was present at all the con-
ferences with the said financial
agent.”
President Castro was asked what
would take place if the United tSates
should decide to send Mr. Loomis
back to Caracas.
"I do not think the United States
government will send Mr. Ixximls
back to Caracas" he replied “because
1 consider that government Inspired
with the best wishes to maintain cor-
dial relations with Venezuela as we
desire that the same be daily more
and more sincere and cordial. I nev-
er presumed that the United States
government would have any part in
the attitude Mumed by Mr. Loomis.”
"Is it true that the state department
has sustained Mr. Loomis in all that
he did?” was asked.
"Mr. Loomis in an official note said
he acted in conformity with instruc-
tions from Washington.’
President Castro was next asked
what would be done in the affair of
Messrs. Gage and Bartlett two Amer-
ican citizens who were arersted by the
police at La Gauyra.
’To my knowledge tlrere is nothing
pending in the matter. Mr. Gage is
here at present and has been present-
ed to me. He is a gentleman of culture
and says that he has no fault to find
with the country."
"What are the probabilities of the
future prosperity and tranquility of
Venezuela?”
"We have had to overthrow three
revolutions; we have passed Into an
earthquake; we are experiencing low
prices in coffee and trade through
out now is ruinous. We do not de-
spair however. With peace the conn
try will again be prosperous."
"Do you think it probable there will
be any revolution?"
Ws the republic ardently desires
peace It Is not to be expected there
will lie anv revolution. Mv govern-
ment has the sympathy of all persons
of influence and any importance. I
will add that my government is strong
nnd well prepared accordingly. I am
prepared. I have a good army and I
have materials of warfare in abund-
ance which probaiily I shall never
have occasion to use.”
President Castro was then asked
about his Intended trip throughout the
interior of the republic and in answer
he said:
"I intend to carry out the trip. I
will first go to the state of Los Andes
and on my return there 1 wil go to
the state of Bolivar. I consider this
t Ap of great importance as it will put
me in close contact with the popula-
tion and thus allow me to get a know)

edge of the wants of the Inhabitant*.”
Before closing the Interview Presi-
dent Castro manifested earnest de-
sire to maintain with the United
States and all foreign nations the most
corfllsl relations of friendship.

New York May SB. —A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: The

tion in his welcome to Lord Milner by
