French "Warship Sachet Has Arrived
at Colon Xo Confirmation of Re
port of Crlbe-Urlbe'a Death.
"WASHINGTON. Aug. 14. No Important
developments in the Colombia-Venezuelan
situation were received at the State De
partment during the early part of today
and the reported death of General Urlb
Tribe could not be confirmed in any
official quarter. It Is expected that the
Machlas will complete her coaling and
taking on of ammunition and will be
off for Panama by tomorrow morning.
In this connection It has been noted that
the French warship Suchet already has
arrived at Colon.

Joined by Mr. Adee, who has been Acting
Secretary of State, and the two went Into
conference for some time. It can be
stated that the return of the Secretary
at this time Is without special signifi
cance, as bearing on any pending Inter
national questions, such as the Colombia
Venezuela affair, or the negotiations at
Pckln. During his stay at Newbury he
has been in close and constant touch with
the department, both by wire and mall,
and has been aware of the various de
iclopments as they have occurred. More
over, the action taken by Mr. Adee rela
tive to the situation on the Isthmus and
In Venezuela has met fully the require
ments of the situation up to this time.
For this reason It Is not expected that
Mr. Hay's return will bring about any
new moves in this affair, except as they
may be required by the developments of
the near future. As to China, there is
a general feeling of satisfaction among
officials, in which Mr. Hay shares, over
the latest information forwarded by Mr.
Rockhill relative to the satisfactory ne
gotiations on the protocol and the reten
tion of corcals and flour on the Chinese
free list. How long Mr. Hay will remain
in Washington Is not stated.
NORFOLK, Va.. Aug. 14. The gunboat

A 'FEELING OF UNREST.
Colombian Government Did Little
to Crash the Rebellion.
COLON. Colombia. Tuesday, Aug. 6.-
Tho political situation on the isthmus
has by no means improved recently, and
there is a consequent feeling of unrest
apparent on all. sides. The government
has taken no adequate 6tep3 to prevent
the rebels raiding the stations along the
railroad, and as a result these raids con.
tinue. Immunity from attack by govern
ment forces has emboldened the rebels,
Email bodies of "whom have been seen at
drill In the daytime, along the line, and
gunpowder and dynamite belonging to the
railroad have been their latest acquisi
tion. In view of the foregoing, the United
States Consul here has cabled to Wash
ington, It Is said,, pointing out the neces
sity for the Immediate presence of a
warship to protect American Interests In
accordance with treaty obligations. A
British man-of-war Is likely to arrive
here shortly. By far the greater volume
of trade transacted on the isthmus Is
from the hands of either the British or
Americano, the Chinese coming third
With reference to the Venezuelan com
plications, absolutely nothing is known
here of a definite nature, beyond the
broad statement believed on all eldes that
President Castro, of Venezuela, Is giving
the rebels moral and even more substan
tial aid. Thorp are aleo rumors of a dec
laration of war betwen the two republics
and of a pitched battle near the frontier
in which General Urlbe-Urlbe has been
defeated, and also victorious, according to
another version.
To sum up. there Is evidence on all
sides that the government considers the
situation to be a critical one, and the
absence of General Alban at the present
moment tends to intensify the feeling of
unrest and uneasiness.

patch from Panama says: The following
is a translation from editorial comments
published In 1'EtoIle, a French newspaper
in Panama:
"Colombians generally, while appreciat
ing any action the United States might
think imperative to prevent European in
tervention in South American countries,
do not favor in the least and distrust
any direct intervention in Internal af

they firmly believe it would endunger
their national sovereignty."
German View of Situation.
BERLIN, Aug. 14. The Kolnlsche Zel
tung says: '
"The revolutionary play In the
countries of South America is still
concealed from the outside world by a
mist of uncertainty. All that is known
as a matter of fact Is that a revolution
has again broken out both in Colombia
and Venezuela, and President Castro rep
resented the Venezuelan revolutionists as
Colombian Invaders with such good ef
fect that the Colombian Minister has al.
ready left Caracas.'
French Opinion of It.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14. A dispatch to the
Herald from Paris gives the following
comment of the Figaro upon the Colombian-Venezuelan
incident:
"The United States is preparing to in
tervene between Venezuela and Colombia,
irho are quarreling imprudently. It Is a
fine opportunity to put Pan-America and
the canal In Its pocket bj- protecting Co
lombia and Venezuela as It protects Cuba
and the Philippines. Formerly that was
called 'take and then 'annex.' and now
It is pronounced 'protect' "

Ivy Poisoning;.
Good Housekeeping.
A peculiarity of poisoning by Ivy, dog
wood, or tumac Is that a cure which will
be of avail to one patient will give no re
lief to another. Country people who live
in districts where poisonous plants luxu
riate keep ready all sorts of simple home
remedies, and If one does not help an
other will. Carbonate of soda dissolved in
hot water, making a very strong solution,
will frequently cure at once If, It can be
applied at the very earliest symptom of
poisoning. Salt In hot water will some
times relieve when soda does not. Other
simple country cures are a strong lye
made from wood ashes, sassafras tea,
made as strong as possible, and lime
water.

IMPROVING THE ARM
GENERAL MILES POINTS OUT SOME I
GLARING DEFECTS,
The Essentials of a Good Soldier
Laxity of Manners Strongly
Condemned.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. Lieutenant
General Miles, commanding the Army, has
Issued a general order intended to Im
prove the condition of the Army. It ad
monishes officers and men regarding their
duties, and points out the essentials of a
good soldier, specifically mentioning patri
otism, discipline, physical development,
self-respect and self-resourcefulness, also
adding that professional "knowledge Is
necessary at all times. Following are ex
tracts from the order:
"Recent reports indicate the existence
of marked unsoldlerly deportment on the
part of some of the troops; a condition ap
parently cultivated recently under the nils
taken idea that a certain uncoiithness of
exterior and laxity of manners are the
essential characteristics of a soldier. As
they are most subversive of discipline
and efficiency, offenses of this nature must
neither be Ignored nor condemned.
"Commanding officers are strictly ac
countable for the general appearance of
their troops, under all circumstances;
whether they be In garrison. In camp, on
the march, oft duty or on brief furlough.
Soldiers are as much responsible for their
conduct while off the military reservation
or Out of camp as when In garrison.
"The exchange canteen, recreation, or
amusement-room, as It was originally
called, will bo made as attractive as pos
sible, and the recent law concerning It
will bo faithfully and loyally observed.
"The third principle to be observed Is
the highest possible physical development
that will render the soldier capable of
the greatest endurance on the march and
on the field of battle. To this end ath
letic games are superior to prescribed
gymnastics that require special apparatus
and marches of increasing length at at
tention, to those at rout step with
shambling gait and Irregular cadence.
"The fifth principle is that of greatest
efficiency In professional knowledge. The
art of war Is the application of Its prin
ciples to actual practice and of more im
portance than the science. Military prob
lems will be carefully and timely prepared
for solution during Important military
drills and maneuvers. The troops will be
frequently occupied In extended field ex
ercises, such as scouting, reconnoltering
and map-making expeditions and other
practical field work. Wherever practi
cable, extensive military maneuvers will
be practiced by detachments simulating
the larger bodies of troops, but all under
the well defined system."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. Regarding the
statement published. In New York that mil
lions of dollars In customs duties had beep
lost to the Government through false In
voices as to weight and value of Japan
ese silks Imported Into the United States
at that port, Assistant Secretary Spauld
Ing, who has charge of customs matters
In the Treasury Department, said:
"About two weeks ago a gentleman
named Bloch and another whose name I
have forgotten came Into my office and
said that they had knowledge of the fact
that Silk Examiner Brown was In the pay
of a prominent New York silk Importing
firm, receiving $800 a -year as compensa
tion for undervaluing their silk Invoices,
and that Brown also received pay from
another silk concern. I told them that It
was of the highest Importance that they
give the names of firms they had charged
with fraud In connection with these im
portations and asked them to put their
statement In writing. I assured them that
if they would give me a single definite
fact, or any Information upon which I
might act, I would start an investiga
tion at once. They stated that it would
be necessary for them to go back to New
York, as they had not enough data with
them on which to base a specific state
ment of facts.
"While I have heard nothing further
from them, I assume that they communi
cated with Appraiser Wakeman, especial

ENTITLED TO ADMISSION.
Right of a Chinese MaHHfactnrer to
Rctnrn to the United States.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. Attorney-General
Knox, In an opinion rendered at the
request of the Secretary of the Treasury,
holds that" a Chinaman may engage in the
manufacture of goods for sale and still
be considered a merchant in the sense In
which that word is used In the treaty and
laws relating: to the exclusion of Chinese,
where the mercantile part of the busi
ness, either wholly or In part. Is the sell
ing of goods manufactured. The caset un
der consideration is that of a. member of
a firm at San Francisco engaged In the
manufacture and sale of cigars, and the
question raised Is whether this Chinaman
may be readmitted Into the United States
as a returning merchant. The Attorney
General holds that he Is entitled to ad
mission. In the course of his opinion, the
Attorney-General says that he does riot
think a manufacturer, as such, Is en
titled to admission into the United States,
nor is he disposed to think that a bona
fide merchant Is any less a merchant be
cause he Is also a manufacturer.
The Attorney-General has also held that
all Chinese persons who have a right to be
in the United States, as evidenced by valid
certificates of residence or registration,
are entitled to pass from the United
States to the Hawaiian Islands and to be
protected while there by their registra
tion certificates, as they would be In any
organized territory of. the Continental and
Integral domain of the United States. The
Attorney-General, however, specially lim
its his opinion to thte one question, and
does not pass upon their right to return
to the United States. He also strictly
limits his views of the liberty of passage
of Chinese persons to the different portions
of the United States to this particular
case, which submits the question as af
fecting tho particular Territory of Hawaii.

Ledger Monthly.
If half the charges made against Count
Tolstpl by tho Holy Synod of Russia bo
true, he has surely lost the simplicity of
religious belief that were shown In his
writings Of a few y,cars ago. The Coun
tess has written an Indignant letter of
protest to the synod ag&Int the decree
excommunicating him from tKe orthodox
church and forbidding his burial In con
secrated grounds.
The great Russian writer, now 72 years
of age and in poor health, bears, the "boy
cott" of the church with calmness and
tranquillity of mind.
He is now at work on a new novel
the story of the transformation of a beau
tiful butterfly of the world Into, a useful
member of society awakened to the real
ization of the dignity, privilege and
majesty of real living. The book, which
promises to be a strong one, seems to il
lustrate Tolstoi's two seemingly paradoxic
Ideals that everyone should do every
thing possible for himself and that every
one should help his fellow-man with hta
work, or even do it for him, unquestion
ably if need be.
All of Tolstoi's manuscripts, when fin
ished, are rewritten by the Countess or
iJrjj-. daughters. This fresh copy Is soon
scored with corrections, sentences are cut
out and new ones substituted, Interllnea
tlpns seem to form as much matter as the
original draft, the corrections hang over
the margins and are often connected by
long lines with the phrases they amend
Ink of a different color adds to the seem
ing chaos. Finally a third copy Is made,
Which lo then "tried" on a few faithful
friends. Then, when It returns from the
printer, Tolstoi begins to revise his proof
as If it were the original copy. After
he wrote "The Powers of Darkness" ho
read It to his tenants, and the poor peas
ants laughed uproariously but unfortun.
ately at the most pathetic passages.

NO COUNTRY .WANTS WAR.
Holls Says the Ontlook for Peace Is
Good.
LONDON, Aug. 14. Frederick W. Holls.
United States member of the International
Court of Arbitration at The Hague, who
Is In London after prolonged visits to St.
Petersburg, Berlin and Vienna, sailed
for New York today. In talking of nls
Impressions of the relations between the
European powers and America, Mr. Holls
said: "
"Although my trip was of a profession
al and private character, I have had the
opportunity of seeing leading statesmen
and foreign Ministers as well as numer
ous publicists and international lawyers.
From all we have heard we believe that
tho outlook for peace among tho great
powers could hardly have been better.
No European country wants war any
more than the Americans. Notwithstand
ing appearances to the contrary, public
opinion Is today the greatest European
power. Of course It would be folly to say
there Is no longer danger of war, for pop
ular excitement In any one quarter may
upset all calculations. Still, the existence
of a permanent tribunal to decide Inter
national disputes, the well-recognized
economic break-down which war now
means for all belligerents, tho lessons of
the Boer War and the frightful fiasco In
China these elements of the situation are
working powerfully for peace.
"The present feeling in Europe regard
ing tho United States cannot be charac
terized In one phrase. That It Is not
everywhere friendly must, I fear, be ad
mitted. But this Is not strange. The
strength and prosperity of the great
peaceful 'unmllltary' republic Is not pleas
ing to" Its opponents and critics of our In
stitutions. Then there Is natural jealousy
in Industrial and commercial circles of
our economic progress. The talk about a
combination of European powers against
the United States Is fanciful and Improb
able. They have greater causes for quar
rels amonir themselves than any of them
has against the United States. All talk
to the contrary In Parliament and In the
press is, In my opinion, merely a cover
for an Increase in tariffs by the particular
power. I feel confident of one thing
whatever may be the attitude of par
ticular governments or classes, the masses
of the common people In Europe regard us
as their best friends. They view the in
creased prestige and power of the United
States in world politics with hope and de
light. They recognize our new position
as a guarantee of peace and progress."
Lords Took Unusual Step.
LONDON, Aug. 14. The House of Lords
took an unusual step this morning In
suspending the sessional order with the
object of passing on its second reading
the bill granting special powers to build
a pier and other works at Berehaven. in
Bantry Bay, Ireland, in connection with
the proposed steamship line from Bere
haven to the United States, by which it
Is hoped the voyage will be accomplished
in 44 days. The bill had already passed
the House of Commons.
The harbor bill Is the work of an Irish
electric road company, promoted by S. G.
Fraser, an engineer of Dublin. Negotia
tions have been announced for the begin
ning of the work. It Is understood some
American capital has been guaranteed In
connection with the steamship service.
It is understood the enterprise Includes
an express line across Southern Ireland
and a Channel ferry connecting directly
with the Great Western Railroad for
London. The co."t of the Berehaven har
bor works and the railroad will be 900,
000. British Railway Earnings Small.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14. There is more
pessimism In financial than In political
circles, says the Tribune's London cor
respondent. The record of British rail
ways, disclosed by the August dividends
and reports, is the worst known for many
years. Tho expenses have Increased and
earnings have shrunk, and the decline
In dividends Is general, but moet marked
on the heavy lines. The decline In the
net earnings for six months for English
lines approximates 53,750,000. The croak
ers assert that the shrinkage in railway
earnings Indicates a decline of business
Interests, and In that there Is little to
believe that shareholders will be relieved
by economies In the working expenses.
British Naval Works Bill.
LONDON. Aug. 15. In the House of
Commons today, during the discussion of
the naval works bill, Mr. Prettyman (Con
servative) advanced as an argument in
favor of the expenditure for coaling fa
cilities the recent report of the United
States Bureau of "Equipment, saying Great
Britain could not afford to be behind the
United States in this matter. The bill
asks for a total of 27,500,000 to Increase
the docking accommodation, coal depota
and reserves of ammunition.
Engrossment of Crown Prince.
NEW YORK. Aug. 14. Concerning the
movements of the German Crown Prince,
the London correspondent of the Tribune
cables:
It Is reported that the German Crown
Prince will arrive here Friday. His visit
Is to be strictly Incognito, and its object
is not known, but it Is likely to revive
the rumors of an impending engagement
of the heir to the throne and Princess
Ina of Battenberg.

When a patient calls at a drug store

Just as good, It may be that he does not
always recognize the responsibility that
he Is taking upon himself. Such a sub

and may result fatally.
In some cases catarrh has a tendency
to become chronic and It not infrequent

Peruna taken in time will prevent these
cases. To substitute some other remedy
means dangerous delay.
It Is certainly a great responsibility that

Sla.1 Docking: the Chicago.
LONDON, Aug. 14. Rear-Admiral
Crowell is in London tonight trying to
arrange to dock his flagship, the Chicago,
at Southampton. Tho authorities there
have refused to dock the cruiser unless
sho discharges all her ammunition, and
the upshot will probably be that the Chi
cago will go to Havre or Portsmouth.
The fact that the United States cruiser
Columbia docked at Southampton a few
years ago for repairs caused the dock
authorities to Impose new regulations In
order to avoid responsibility. The South
ampton dock is a private and not a Gov
ernment Institution.
Von Wnldersce Talking? Too Much.
BERLIN, Aug. 14. The papers begin
to complain that Count von Waldersce la
talking to much. The National Zeltung
says:
"All the glory-crowned commanders of

did not talk publicly so much about those
wars as Count von "Waldersee has talked
regarding the China campaign, which was
Insignificant from a military point of
view."

BERLIN, Aug. 15. "In court circles,"
says tho Berlin correspondent of the
Frankfurter Zeltung, "It Is said that Em

task of Count von Bulow the duty of se
curing a renewal of the commercial

Chancellor depends upon his success In
that direction."

Address Dr. Hartman, President of the

says the London correspondent of tho
Tribune. Evidence is accumulating that
the Boer commandoes have reached the
bottom of, their supplies of ammunition,
and are surrendering from sheer inability
to defend themselves. Military men ex
plain the desperate attacks upon small
bodies of British troops by the necessity
for obtaining fresh supplies of rifles and
ammunition.

Sydney Smith and the Tarti.
Cornhlll.
I do not know whether Sydney Smith
'was "cocksure," or even sure, about
everything, but certain I am that almost
everything was a matter for a Jeu de
mots with him. Nothing escaped him.
and I am Inclined to wonder whether,. In
this more nervous age, such constant
fireworks would not be found a little try
ing. We knew him well, and I remember
on ono occasion, In February or March,
he was In residence as Canon of St.
Paul's, and came to dinner. Some rhu
barb tart was offered him. "What's
thlsT "Rhubarb tart, Sir." "Rhubarb!
A very good thing, a very good thing,
and here," as the powdered sugar was
presented, "Is the magnesia." Tho Jest
was trivial enough, and It was uttered,
present to my mind after the lapse of
nearly three-quarters of century.
