By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyrigl Recoived 1 a.m., March 24. New York, March 23.
The Venezuelan Congresß refused to accept the resignation of President Castro. They requested him to reconsider his decision, but Castro refused
London, March 23.
The Times’ New York correspondent says that the resignation is a complete surprise to everybody, including Mr Hay. Nobody supposes tho resignation to bo in good faith, except on the theory that ho has amassed all the plunder he required. Reuter’s Washington correspondent states that Venezuelan leaders represented to Castro months ago that his resignation would enable the Venezuelans to placo a solid front in controversies with tho Powers. The announcement of his resignation is the result of a secret agreement that Castro should relinquish office pending the Powers' adjustment of matters in connection with tho indemnity, and that he will be re elected later on.
