Castro Out of Office and Retires Temporarily as Venezuela Leader
An official dispatch from Caracas reports General Cipriano Castro has stepped down as president of Venezuela for a time, with General Juan Vicente Gomez acting as head. The move, framed as a voluntary retirement for rest, follows Castro’s long rule since 1899 and prompted speculation the succession may be only nominal. Officials say peace and orderly handling of disputes, including with the New York and Bermudez Asphalt Company, are expected as a result.
