Richard Harding Davis has been traveling in Latin America and met with President Cipriano Castro of Venezuela. Castro said he is going to send President Roosevelt’s son Ted two Venezuelan ponies, and he gave Davis the Grand Cross of the Order of Bolivia. Davis jokes about how he helped run the Venezuelan government but is not respected by the United States. Davis plans to take a trip to Madrid for the Spanish coronation and plans to write about his experiences for Scribner’s or Colliers.
