IT MAY MEAM WAR
Colombia Now In a Dispute
With Nicaragua.
SAYS SHE HELPED INSURGENTS
Will TnJie Steps to Have an Account
ing When the Present "War
on the Isthmus Is
Ended.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. Colombia trill
formally demand of Nicaragua an explan
ation In regard to the latter country s
alleged participation In the revolution
against the Colombian Government, and
back up her demand with the most for
midable land and naval force she can
muster, as soon us the present rebel ac
tivity on the Isthmus has been crushed.
Information to this effect was Tecelved
from an authoritative source in Washing
ton today.
The above intelligence caused consider
able surprise in diplomatic circles, for but
a few weeks ago it was announced that
Mr. Conchu, the Colombian Minister, and
Mr. Corea. the Nicaraguan Minister, had
established an entente cordlale between
their respective governments.
Shortly after Minister Corea's arrival in
NicarMcua. where he went some weeks
ago on a leave of absence, the Colombian
Minister here, it is stated, received infor
mation to the effect that arms and ammu
nitinn fnr l hp Colombian rebels on the
Isthmus were being shipped from Corinth
The Colombian Legtion here had been
receiving reports of this character con
tinually, and in view of the arrangement
effected with the Nlcaraguan Minister be
fore he left Washington, Senor Concha
lost no time in calling Mr. Corea's atten
tion to the matter. The latter olllclal re
plied that President Zelaya would lmrao
uiately institute an investigation to as
certain if the reporta were well founded.
A short time ago, however, more reiwrts
were received in Washington to the ef
fect that Nicaragua stll! continued her
material support of the revolutionists on
the Isthmus, and Colombia now. It is stat
ed, finds her patience exhausted, and has
decided to present a formal demand for
an explanation. Meanwhile, It is under
stood the entcnto cordiale has only a
nominal existence. It is not anticipated
that the affair will lead to an actual war
with Nicaragua, but nevertheless Colom
bia is making preparations to back up
her representations with a reinforced
army and navy. It develops that the pur
chase of the well-armed war vessel at
Seattle, as well as several prospective
purchases, of warships for the Colombian
Navy, have Nicaragua rather than the
present troubles on the Isthmus in view.
A dispatch received at the Colombian
legation here from Governor Salazar, from
Panama, dated yesterday, states that the
rebel gunboat Padllla was receiving coal
Slid other supplies at the Nlcaraguan port
of Corlnto.
Marraaduke Denies It.

CERMAS STEAMER FIRED UFOX
Got in the Way of n Buttle at Caru
pano. KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug. 29. The
German steamer Polaria, which arrived
here today from Venezuelan ports last
Friday, August 22. reports that while at
Carupano, 700 rebels attacked the place
ttubbornly, and got Inside the town -where
they were met by 1000 government troops
under General Velutlni. Severe fighting,
lasting the whole day, followed and ended
In the disorderly retreat of the rebels, sev
eral of the latter being killed or wounded.
Bullets repeatedly struck the steamer
and the lives of her crew being in danger.
Captain Hoff, her commander, communi
cated with General Velutlni and asked
for protection. The General replied that
the Polaria must clear out. as she had no
right to be there. Her captain refused to
leave the port and telegraphed the Ger
man cruiser Gazelle at La Guayra, asking
for immediate protection. The Gazelle
arrived at Carupano Sunday morning, and
protected the Polaria while the latter pro
ceeded to take on cargo. This work was
completed on Monday night and the Po
laria sailed under the protection of the
German cruiser, which also left Carupano.
The Venezuelan Government officials
there were in fear of another and more
serious attack on the place. Trade waa
crippled and many atrocities were re
ported. (A dispatch to the Associated Press from
Willemstad. Island of Curacao, Monday,
August 25, announced that details had
been received there of the reoccupatlon
of the port of Carupano, Venezuela," by
the Venezuelan Government forces. It
would therefore appear that the fighting
referred to by the Polaria followed an
attempt on the part of the Insurgents to
capture Carupano.)
Chicago Man Gives Portland.
Pointers.
"The people of Portland are the makers
of Portland!, and this applies to every man
who spends money here." said George R.
McCormick. of Chicago, last evening, as he
sat In front of one of Portland's hotels
and talked about some of his observations
in this city. He was speaklnr of some
of the old buildings of -which Portland Is
not particularly proud, and also of some of
the structures that will compare favor
ably -with the best business blocks in
other cities of the same size. Mr. Mc
Cormick Is not one of the family whose
name is connected with the famous har
vesting machine, but was for a number
of years a merchant in the Windy City,
and is now traveling on the Coast. He
has heard something of the agitation that
was aroused recently concerning some of
the old. rickety buildings, and thinks a
mowment of that kind indicates a progres
sive public spirit. Before making- the
remark quoted above he had said that
Portland has no more trouble with its
old buildings than do other growing cities,
and had suggested a means of securing
the abandonment of the old shacks.
"People should give their patronage to
business men who occupy buildings that
are still a credit to the city," lie said. "I
do not like to put It In the negative and
say that the man who occupies an old
building should not hi patronized, for I
don't like the boycott idea. That Isn't
the idea. But the whole matter Is simply
a -plain business proposition, as everybody
can see. Every new building that is con
structed on modern plans is a help to the
city, and to every property-owner in it.
As the town grows, property becomes
more valuable, except, of course, in the
case of buildings which have begun to
weaken with age, and whose day of use
fulness Is past. They finally reach the
time when they should be abandoned and
torn down to make room for the new.
"The proposition Is simply this: That
while no one desires to injure the man
who finds property growing old on his
hands, yet the men who put their money
Into new buildings should be aided and
encouraged. There Is idle money In this
city with which to erect new business
blocks, and I observe that considerable is
being expended ir this manner. That
speaks well for yorr moneyed men, and
the residents of the city should show their
appreciation of the enterprising and pro
gressive spirit. It is simply a case of
you tickle me and I'll tickle you. The
man who puts up a big brick block adds
to the value of all property In the city,
and if 1 were living here 1 would go out
of my way to patronize him and his ten
ants. "That Is not saying that only the men
who occupy the newost business buildings
should be dtalt with. Far from It. But
the idea Is that if men find It profitable to
do business In old shacks that should be
torn down, they will continue to occupy
those places. When a building gets to
be a disgrace to a city, go some place
else to trade. If a man keeps a rickety
sidewalk in front of his store, let him
know by going some place else that you
don't approve of it. He won't take long
to build a new sidewalk.
"You say it works a hardship on the
owners of old buildings? Not at all. I
don't suppose there is an old business
building in the city that has not paid Its
owners all it cost, with interest. There
may be some that have- been found un
profitable, but are there not failures in
all enterprises? Bad judgment in choos
ing a location will doubtless result in fail
ure, but that is no reflection upon the
loyalty of the people of the city. They
should be and usually are strong support
ers of old established business houses,
but U they must choose between the out-of-date
and up-to-date, they must not
lose sight of their own interests. Old
buildings and old sidewalks must go, but
not until the new has crowded them out.
"Right here, within three or four blocks,
I can se.e hotels, office buildings and mer
cantile houses that were built by the ex
penditure of enormous sums of money. The
men who put their money Jnto those struc
tures were public benefactors, and oald
the people of the city the compliment of
believing that they would give their pat
ronage to the new in preference to the
old. While I understand that some of
the investments were unprofitable to the
men who made them in the first instance.
in the end be found that the people of the
city were worthy of the confidence re
posed in them. While it does not now
3oem possible, yet it Is altogether prob
able that the time will come whon some
of these fine buildings will be abandoned
as out of date and unsafe. That time
is a long way off, and before it comes
the buildings will repay their owners the
money invested in them. While the money
In the first instance is furnished by a few
men. in the end it Is paid by the people
through the profits cf the business. In
that way the people at large make the
city and determine whether it shall be one
of old shacks that have passed their days
of usefulness or one of buildings which the
citizens can point to with pride. The old
should be supported as long as consistent
with the cty's development, but no longer.'

The Blackmailing- of Corporations.
New York Times.
Whe should suppose that the catas
trophe which has befallen the promoters
of the Peter Power suit against tne
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
would tend to create and confirm the be
lief in the financial district that it is
better and cheapor to fight blackmailers
than to pay them hush-money. It was
stated in court testimony not long ago
that certain persons among those named
by Mr. Lamb on the witness stand had
received a very large sum of money for
discontinuing an action similar to that
brought by Mr. Power. The expenditure
of the. Northern Pacific Company for the
explosives and combustibles with which
It has wrecked the Power conspiracy
could have been but a .small fraction of
the amount paid for the discontinuance
of the prior suit; and the financial com
munity enjoys the addod and important
advantage of a victorious example and
an enlightening exposure.
The matter ought not to ent5 with the
discontinuance of Mr. Power's suit. The
names of the persons who are making it
a business to acquire stock in the name
of dummy complainants as a basis for
vexatious suits against corporations are
now known to everbody. Their accom
plices and abettors of the bar and of the
Stock Exchange are also known. It Is a
public scandal that the courts should be
made use of for tnese predatcry purposes.

PROTEST FR03I TRANSVAAL.
MlncoTvncrs Object to Being: Ileavily
Taxed to Pay for the War.
LONDON. Aug. 3. A dispatch Irom
Pretoria to the Times, in which the cor
respondent voices the popular protest
against the attempt to Increase the tax
on mines, with a view of making the
new colonies contribute to the cost of
the war, says well-founded reports credit
Joseph Chamberlain, British Colonial
Secretary, with the idea of getting from
5230,000,000 to 5500.000,000 from the colonies
for this purpose.
"It Is well to face the facts," says
the Times correspondent, "and the facts
are that for many years to come there
will be no prospect of the Transvaal hav
ing any surplus above what Is necessary
for the proper development of the coun
try. It Is obvious that any attempt to
exact even $250,000,000 would permanently
hamper the resources of what at best will
for years remain a poor country, depend
ent upon a single industry."
Apparently inspired by the native prob
lem which Is looming up In South Africa,
the Dally Telegraph this morning pub
lishes axslgnlflcant editorial on the negro
question, which It Insists is for the Anglo
Saxon race a more serious and urgent
problem than the yellow danger. The pa
per confesses that the Ideals which under
lay the emancipation. movement have quite
failed of realization; that It has been
proved throughout the world that the
negro Is quite incapable of working out
his own salvation, and that the theory
of electoral equality Is a delusion mis
chievous to both negroes and whites.
2Cegro franchise in the Southern States
of America, says the paper, is already a
farce, and Its suppression in all but ex
ceptional cases cannot In all probability
be permanently deferred. In conclusion
the article asks:
"What is to be the ultimate destiny of
this vast and multiplying black popula
tion In South Africa? That Is the problem
which looks behind every other."
