Fate of Cast ro - -'Vv:i::Vliltehed,Jo-a.:.Star Tlie Venezuelan Napoleon Fifmly in Destiny At a ball in the city of Caracas two I lecembers ago an undersized, swarthy, ken-eyed Venevuelan, whose face plainly showed his Indian blood, took in American woman out on the piazza to enjoy the cool tropic night after the chatting brightly about social trifles, but the man did not listen. Suddenly he broke in upon her talk. "Do you see that star?" he asked, pointing to one of the fixed stars which r.vinkled brightly" in the soft, velvety sky- "That is my star. When that Har falls, I shall fall. Not before." The man was Cipriano Castro,- pres ident of Venezuela, The woman was rhe wife of the American minister to Venezuela. At that time England, Germany and Italy were blockading .Venezuela's coasts and threatening to land troops and seize the custom houses. Three fourths of the country was - in the hands of the revolutionists, who sought to overthrow Castro. Colombia was preparing to help them by invading Venezuela from the west. Nine men out of every ten Irv Caracas cursed Ca.stro under their breath, as the evil genius of his country. It seemed impossible that he could remain in power another month, eo thick were the troubles and perils which surrounded him. Castro did not worry like Napoleon, he believed in his star. He told people that he was going to be another Na-' poleon. "Like Napoleon," he once said to the writer,'I am the Man of Destiny. Yes," he- repeated, evidently pleased by the phrase, "I am the Man of Destiny for this part of the world. Does not my :areer show that?" No wonder he thinks himself another Napoleon, and believes in his star; he has never known defeat. Fighting, time after time against odds, he has always won. Life in some of the South American. republics makes fiction seem gray and null. What could be more fantastic than for a peasant, a mere muleteer living "at the back of beyond" in the Andes, to throw down his whip and hishpe and say to his mates: "Come along, boys. -I'm sick of this. I'm going to be president, you shall be generals . and cabinet ministers!" That is precisely what Castro did, and he carried out his promise. For a parallel one must go back, to Tamer lane, the Scythian shepherd who be came a world conqueror. The story- of that -dash from the Andes to Caracas, as the writer has heard it from Castro himself and-from the men who were with him, is thrill ing. With a mere handful of men Iwenty, thirty, perhaps sixty he started a local revolution. Defeating with ease bodies of troops outnumbering his own by ten to one, he captured here a village and there a town, until a large slice of the repub lic was in his hands, and the govern ment' at Caracas began to regard him as a serious proposition. While that government frittered away time in the Latin-American way, Castro followed his star without hesi tating a moment. Like all good gen erals, he appreciates the value of time; he does "not believe in man ana , when there is work to be done.. His army etpw like! a. snowball rolling down hill, with each new victory, and before the government had made up- its mind , The writer has seen him dancing and what to do ha' was within striking dis-drinking beef with .peasants at a plc tance of Caracas. jnic- mingling affably with the crowds At that critical moment" he fell from ' who promenade in the plazas of La his horse and broke his leg, but the Victoria and Caracas in the evening, accident did-not tame his fiery spirit, and suddenly Inviting everybody in the Prom- his sck bed he directed his square tocome up to the palace, and troops- from his sick bed: he broughtnjoy an Impromptu dance. -troops, nn8 J-... . K : When .he .returned to Caracas from over tne aenerai cujinji"ii'i b ernment army. The president, Senor Andrade, fled the country, and Castro, suffering ngonies from a badly set fracture, but indomitable as ever, was carried into Caracas on a stretcher at the head of his victorious army. And so he made himseTf president. Today Castro rules with a rod of iron. He is the only man who counts In Venezuela oecause 01 nis immense pel f -confidence, his energy and his dash. The writer nsked. Castro once: "How .was it that you' "conquered ' In Likely enough Castrp will, be .standing that great five-day battle .at .La Vic- there, . chatting to liis officers aftd cas tor ia, the turning point of the revolu- uai visitors; or, perhaps playing bu tton? .By .all , the rules' of war. you Hards or feeding his. pet birds, ought to have been easily beaten.' I it Is ho breach of Venezuelan etl- 'l won," replied Castro, smiling sar- quette to go straight up and talk to donlcally, 'because the God of Battles him. He is always affable and cour fought upon 'my side; and because my teous, whether the ' visitor be a foreign opponents were darr.ned fools." He paused a moment, thinking about the battle, and went on: 'I never could have won If my ene mies had possessed the least military ability. They outnumbered my troops , more than three to one, and they were touch better supplied with ammunition than I was. ' Look at this man for a moment This is where I was, holding a - very itronj position. If they had placed a imall , body ?of troops here, and a sec ond here, and a third here, they would Save surrounded me; and then their main body could have marched on and laken Caracas without opposition. "Instead, of doing that- they wasted meir energy, ana meir men oy making , pontejy begged them not - to - disturb 1 lot of stupid frontal attacks on my , themselves the conference would soon itrong position. They fired away all j De finished. ; ' iheir ammunition uselessly, . and then. Before he sat down, again a beggar 'hen my fresh supplies cam, I simply ! boy, who -was lounging in the patio, led my mep right to their centre, and J butted Into;the cabinet circle and ask Ihere was nothing for them to do but to ed the president of his republics to. buy retreat as quickly as they could. "Do you , wondor that I hold them cheaply :that X am confident of my ability, to crush them, or 'any others ilke them?" But Castro's officers say that the bat- tie was won through his courage and generalship, not through the folly of the other side. When all seemed blackest, when his men 'were falling all around him like; ninepins, and de- feat wa3 Imminent. Castro caught up a rifle and dashed from the trenches up the mountain side toward the heart of the enemy's position, yelling to his men to follow him. The shock of that charge was Irresis tible. Scores of men were shot down as they clambered up the mountain, but with Castro leading none could turn back. , He was the first man in the enemy's trences, raging among their gunners like a Viking or old. The position was t captured and the battle won-by sheer force of his magnetic courage. - .f Castro's power rests upon his Btrength of character and the loyalty of his friends, not upon any star. Former presidents of Venezuela have fallen through treachery of men whom they .trusted and placed in high positions. Castro has surrounded himself by his fellow Andinos men whom he has known from boyhood, men Who "Were among "the conquering sixty," as they are called in" Caracas the sixty with whom he started his fight for the pres idency. . , The average Venezuelan Is apt to be treacherous when placed In a position of trust, but the Andlno is famous throughout Venezuela for his loyalty. The Sikh is not ruer to his salt, the Scottish Highlander I3 not more clan nish: , V Castro knows this. He is true to his old friends, and they are true to him. He has made them generals and cabi net ministers, as he proposed to. do when he enlisted them in the "conquer ing sixty," and they repay him by such faithful service as no Venezuelan pres ident had before. " " Thus he is;able to maintain his pow er, although he is the best hated man in Venezuela, Wherever one goes in Caracas in club, in cafe. In ballrooms in hotel one hears curses, "not loud but deep," for Castro. . But the critics look carefully around to see that no Andino officer Is within hearing. They hate Castro and his Andinos intensely, but they fear them more. , It is not easy to form an estimate of Castro's character. He is many-sided. The more one sees him the hard er it become to judge. Readers of "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table' ' will remember the three Johns the John known to him self, the John known to other people, and the John known only to his Mak er. There are three Castros. The most obvious is Castro the con queror,' the warrior who faced his foes and backed his friends, the ruler who has pillaged merchants, ruined trade, reduced a large . part of his country to a desett, who has been responsible for the death of thousands of men and brought upon Venezuela the scorn of the world and the wrath of the great powers. This Castro is a tyrant. But there is also Castra the demo crat, accessible to the meanest of his people, anxious to provide for their employment such acceptable festivities as bull fights, band' concerts in : the plaza, picnics and dances. This Castro is a kind of Venezuelan Big Bll Dev ery, who likes nothing better than blowing off everybody in sight. the crowning glory of Da Victoria, he kept open house at MIraflores Palace. Anybody, tjown to the lowest beggar, who cared to walk In, could swim In chamDaffne aguardiente, if he . . No ruler on earth 1 more accessible than Castro. He has made hundreds of bitter personal enemies, as well as thousands of political ones, but he nev er hed&es himself about with guards or secret service agents. Anybody can, walk straight into the 'rvitirt of. his rala.ce without challenge. minister of merely ah itinerant ped dler trying to sell books or boot laces. On one; of . the most critical days of the recen international blockade sev eral persons were at the palace waiting, to see Castroc He. came lntd the patio , wi'tn several or . nis ministers, crusecu, over to them and .said: f" ;'.'. Will you kindly wait a little longer? Some Important cablegrams have Tcome from Washington, and we have to hold them.' " He passed, with his ministers, Into the reception room, at the doorway of which the visitors.- were- sitting, and the cabinet sat around In a circle . for the conference. Naturally, the visitors rose to go;but Castro-Jumped up and som-i knitted socks. Castro laughed, chaffed him and gave him a dollar. Then the cabinet council went pn, Within earshot of a score of loungers. Such is the way in which public af fairs are transacted in Venezuela What else can e expected when one of the country's principal ' officials is Castro's old barber from the Andeus? He still shaves the president when he has leisure from his other duties as a general and a statesman. " ''' Castro the tyrant and Castro the democrat each has his good points, but there is also Castro the dreamer, best known to himself, who is full of nat ional pride and patriotic fervor who knows the possibilities of Venezuela, and seefe visions of her as a great world power, bound in close allir.nce with the other American states to resist the ag gression of Europe. The writer had a glimpse of this Cas tro two years ago at La Victoria, when he unfolded a scheme for a Pan-American defensive alliance against Europe, which he " evidently considered to be within the realm of practical politics. ; This Castro has Napoleonic ambi tions, which are fed by a crowd of fiat terers who tell him that he is the great est South American general since Boli var. Looking back on his career of persistent victory, ,he believes them and plans for the conquest of Colombia, and the control of the Panama Canal situation. He wants to be to South America what Napoleon was to Europe. This Well is Horizontal ; The city of Santa Barbara In south ern CaJIfornia is situated on a narrow coastal plain backed by a high range of mountains. It is a locality of great beauty, being sometimes called' the American Riviera, but with naturally a deficient water supply. . ,The Santa Ynez range of mountains consists of shale and sandstone, the strike of the formation being parallel to the coast and the dip practically vertical. The rocks are Assured, and there is stored therein a large quan tity of water. The city of Santa Barbara has run a tunnel line 5,000 feet in length Into this range of mountains. IJt was found that while this tunnel was being ex tended a sufficient quantity of water was developed to supply the greater portion of the city; in other words, that as the tunnel progressed , one fissure after another was opened which, In draining off, maintained a substantial flow from the tunnel. , ; - When work was suspended the supply materially decreased. In order to reg- ulate and control this, the Interesting experiment was adopted of building a masonry bulkhead near the ohiter end of the "tunnel and inserting therein' a pipe with a gate, so that the tunnel could be tightly closed. . This was riot placed In time to get tYit illl yKMUvfit nt tVi r- wlntflr rains ' but the opening was partly Josed; bei151011- ' TVi A n fore fanntlmtilotln ir ' f Vi ai fissures In the' rocks were again storedliTilomasv,le' Ga therein. .; " " - ' r Miami. Fia. .. . A pressure guagre placed In this bulk- head indicated that the tunnel not only filled, but 'that a head of 100 feet was accumulated In the fissures, notwith standing the fact that the now was not entirely cut off but only reduced from about 500,000 to 25,000 gallons a tliiv. TVnrlnfir the ralnv season the local streams furnished an adequate supply for the city. As the rainy season passed, the gate in the tunnel was slowly opened and this stored water was used , during the last season successfully ,to carry the city through the dry portion of ( tha year, the output being about 250,000 gallons dally for" 200 days, after which the gate was entirely opened and a decrased supply continued. - ' ! , The town of Santa Barbara, howeverr is growing so rapidly that an addif tional water supply is urgently needed,. J and upon plans based upon the inves-r tlgatlons of the United States Geologi cal Survey It has been decided to drive a tunnel 19,560 feet long through the mountains and thereby tap the Santa Ynez river. - Wierd Cold Weather Story (Pioneer-Press.)1 Oscar' Wilte of Le Sueur,- Minn., -met with a most remarkable accident this i morning that very nearly cost him his life. With his rifle In hand he was attempting to get within range of a cat he desired to shoot, when the ani mal ran up Into the framework sup porting the water tank. Standing directly beneath the , cat, Wilte shot straight up at It, carelessly forgetting the fact that the tank was within range. - : .. . The bullet killed the cat and pierced the bpttom of the tank, and in an in stant, the water, gushing out, sur rounded Mr. Wilte. with a complete shower bath in a temperature of 35 degrees below zero. Instantly his overshoes froze to the stone foundation on which he was standing,- and stooping -to . unbuckle them, -he was chainedbythe spray, freezing in the terrible cold as fast as it fell into a helpless statue of ice, stiff and immovable as a stone. Only by his stooping posture, which kept his face free from the ice, was he saved from suffocation. Soon the flow of the water was stoo ped ty the sediment in. the tank flow ing into the bullet hole, and a little son of Mr. Wilte, who had seen 'the whole affair, ran for assistance. It was necessary to loosen the unfortun ate mans feet with chisels, and whn he had been carried into the hcjse by three strong men the Ice had to be broken from him with clubs. He was badly frightened by the ex perience, but otherwise unharmed. 4 The body of the cat was found frozen to bis back. BridgetThe butcher's wagon Is at the door, mum.
