WON’T LET CASTRO IN CITY OF PARIS

French Government Resents Minister’s Treatment. Paris, Dec. I.—The French government is giving consideration to the question as to how President Castro, of Venezuela, shall be treated upon this arrival at Bordeaux. After the ignominious fashion in which the French minister was expelled from Caracas, the government feels that it would be justified in refusing to allow the president of Venezuela, to land at all, but as Castro is reported to be ill humanitarian considerations probably will prevent the government from taking such a course. It is probable that a port official will be designated to board the steamer Guadeloupe on which Castro is a passenger and ascertain his intentions. In no case will he be permitted to come to Paris.
