Show OA8TEO THE FUGITIVE. Ifc-appoars that tho personal affairs of Castro, in what now appears to havo been his flight to Europe, are shaping themselves about on tho lines indicated by The Tribune some ttmo ago. "We surmised that ho had cut looso from Venezuela entirely when, be loft, that country, that ho had lined his pockets well and was on bis way to Europe lo pursue a life of ease aud luxury through thu ill-gottou gains which ho had lilehe.d from tho Venezuelans during Uio nine years when he was presidout and absolute abso-lute dictator of that uuhappy country. It appears that the Venezuelans have coma to tho same couclurfion tbouiselvcs, because they have cut loose from his government, and aro sotting up another government altogether, one positively sad distinctly hostile to him. Tf Castro should undertake to return to Venezuela, Vene-zuela, doubtless ho would be put in jail, and very likely bo shot as a public enemy. Vvq look for a more settled stato of affairs in Venezuela, now that tho Castro regime, is onded aud a. now and doubtless doubt-less more reasonable administration ha.s succeeded. Castro remained in. his position posi-tion as long as it was possible for him to do. aud as soon as ho realized that his position was 4rnpossible, he fled with what money ho eonld put to his credit. It is not likely that tho uotico sent out from tho bank of Venezuela, withdrawing withdraw-ing his unlimited credit in Europe will affect him particularly, because ho has doubtless arranged for bis own personal funds to da extent that wUl bo ample for all his future need?. Venezuela is we'll rid of him, and doubtless it will bo easier for all the nations aud peoples of the earth, that have dealings with Venezuela to get along with that conn-try conn-try from henceforth. |
