It was not generally known that Castro had left Germany, where, five < weeks ago, he submitted to an operation. He spent several days In Berlin while recuperating and then disappeared. Despite the efforts of agents of President Gomez to locate the irrepressible agitator, his whereabouts were not discovered until a few days ago, when his supporters in New York, all

According to Antonio Jose Sanchez, for many years the private secretary, Castro, and who lives in New York, Gen. A. Pimentel, who was minister of finance under President Gomez, is en route to that city to join the Venezuelan Junta now operating there, not so much in the interest of Castro, but to overthrow President Gomez, who, it is now declared, has developed into a far more dangerous dictator than Castro was accused of being.
