Colombia May Find Its Canal
jjections Ignored.
TWO WAYS OPEN TO UNCLE SAM
Panama Company' Risht Can Bo
Pnrcliaiicd and Property Improved
"Without Question, but Colom
' bin Will Be Dealt With.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 29. The status to
day of the Colombian canal concessions
3s that both sides here are waiting a de
cision of the Colombian government as
to whether Minister Concha shall proceed j
under his original instructions to present
to the State Department the Colombian
response to the department's proposal for
a treaty.
When the response arrived In Washing
ton two days ago, the Minister promptly
notified the State Department that In
"view jjf the recent developments, mean
ing events that had happened on the
Isthmus since the note started from Bo
gota, September 16, he regarded it his
duty to withhold it until he heard further
from his government. As the State De
partment had In some way come to know
that the Colombian response would. If
submitted, go far toward meeting the de
sires of this Government In the matter
of a canal treaty, this delay was very
annoying. But as the Minister had his
own notion of duty In the matter, it was
'directed that an appeal should be taken
over his head to the authorities in Bo
gota. .
Accordingly, a cablegram was sent to
United States Minister Hart at the Co
lombian capital, notifying him of the ac
tion of the Colombian Minister here. No
specific complaint was made, but It was
desired to make sure that the Colombian
Government knew that the note had been !
held back.
The matter of objection is regarded Ijy
our own officials as an attempt to link
the negotiations for canal treaty, pure
and simple, with the discussion of the
questions of correctness of the attitude
of our naval officers on the Isthmus. It
Is expected that the delay will not be
long, for even if the Colombian answer
Is not satisfactory, this Government will
still be bound by the terms of the Spooner
act to proceed toward the construction
of an isthmus canal, and the only ques
tion to be decided is as to the method.
There are two ways open, even in case
of an adverse attitude on the part of the
Colombian government, namely, either
the United States Government to proceed
without delay to complete the treaties
with Nicaragua and Costa Rica necessary
for the construction of a canal in those
countries,- or and this latter course
would be adopted with reluctance the
Government might purchase outright the
franchise of the French Panama Canal
Company and go on resolutely with the
construction of the Panama Canal, tak
ing the ground that It would have a right
to improve Its own property without ref
erence to any other government, and tak
ing no further notice of Colombia.
Secretary Hay today had two callers
who talked about canal matters. The
first was Mr. Cromwell, counsel for the
Panama Canal Company, who Is here to
ascertain the needed step to be taken by
the United States Government In view of
Attorney-General Knox's opinion respect
Mng the canal title. As this seems to de
pend for the moment on the issue of the
negotiations with thc'fColombIan govern
ment, no direct Information could be fur
nished. Later In the day came Captain
McLean, la'tely In command of the cruiser
Cincinnati. He was presented by Captain
Cowles. and gave the Secretary a most
interesting account of the situation on
the Isthmus. Tlie Secretary was particu
larly impressed by the tactful manner in
which the naval officer had maintained
friendly and even cordial personal rela
tions with the Colombian officers, while
quietly, but effectually, exercising the
treaty powers of the United States Gov
ernment toward the maintenance of free
dom of traffic across the Isthmus.
MAXY POSTOFFICES ADVANCED.
Presidential Appointments for Pant
Year Establish a Record.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, A total of 2270
Presidential postmasters were appointed
last year, according to the annual report
of J. L. Brlstow, Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General,
issued today. This is the
largest number appointed In any one
year In the history of the postal service.
The increase was due mainly to the ex
piration of commissions during the year,
and the advance of many fourth-class
offices to the Presidential grade.
The total number of appointments of
postmasters of all classes was 16.970, an
increase of 1313. There .was a' slight in
crease in the number of removals of post
masters "for cause," as a result of a
strict discipline for carelessness and lr-
v regularities. There were 303S postoffices
V established rmd 4KH rHsmntlrmoA fha lot-
ter attributable mostly to the extension
of the rural free delivery service and the
consolidation of postoffices adjacent to
large Presidential offices. The number of
postoffices In the United States June 30
was 75.924, of which 220 were first class,
1023 second class. 34SS third class and
7L193 fourth class.
The report shows that robberies of
postoffices and robberies of mall boxes
are on the increase. Arrests and convic
tion for all offenses have materially In
creased. There were 1746 robberies of
postoffices. 11 robberies of mall trains, 16
of mall passengers, star route carriers
and wagons, and 465 of letter boxes. Of
the total of 1721 persons arrested for vio
lating postal laws, 304 were connected
with the postal service, Including 112 post
masters. The administration of postal affairs in
Cuba is commended as economical and
efficient. The total revenues of the ser
vice in Cuba from the beginning of the
last fiscal year to May 19, when the island
A"as turned over to the new Cuban gov
ernment, were 5335,916, and 'the expendi
tures $377,574. - Compared with the pre
vious fiscal year, the revenues increased
almost ?12;000, and the expenses decrease
over $30,000, the decrease In the deficit
being over 50 per .cent.
Mr. Brlstow renews his recommenda
tion that a law be enacted requiring as
sistant postmasters, cashiers and other
employes . to give bonds to postmasters
direct, and that postmasters be held re
sponsible under their own bonds for all
acts and defaults at their offices. An ap
propriation Is asked for the construction
of lookouts for inspectors' use In post
offices wherever needed In the opinion of
the postmaster. An amendment of the
Interstate commerce law is urged to pro
hibit telegraph or express companies or
their employes from aiding In the green
goods or lottery swindles or similar
schemes carried on partly by mall and
partly by common carriers.
RUSSIAN SUGAR BOUNTY CASE UP.
Supreme Conrt to Decide Standing
of Drawback Under Tariff Law.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 29. The question
whether the drawback paid by Russia
on sugar exported from that country is
a bounty under the meaning of the Ding
ley tariff law is in a fair way to be
decided at an early day by the Supreme
Court of the United States. The point
Is raised In a case which has been
brought Into that court by Robert E.
Downs, and upon which argument was
begun today. That the case is considered
of Importance is made evident by the

fact, that the Supreme Court granted a
writ of certiorari on It, after It had been
decided In favor of the United States by
the Circuit Court of Appeals for the
Fourth Circuit, and for the additional
fact that Mr. Downs and the Govern
ment united in a petition afterward
brought to the -higher court to ha'e con
sideration advanced on the docket. That
petition was granted Just before the ad
journment of court for-the term last May,
and the case was given the earliest day
practicable. .
The case grows out of the action of the
Treasury Department in imposing a coun
tervailing duty upon Russian sugar to
meet the drawback, and the retaliatory
step on the part of Russia by which that
country Imposed the maximum duty upon
American goods.

COLON. Colombia, Oct. 29. Further
news has reached here of the engagement
at Rio Frio, near La Clenega, which re
sulted in the surrender of the revolution
ary Generals, Urlbe-Urlbe and Castillo,
together with 100 cannon, 2500 rifles and
much ammunition. According to the terms
of capitulation General Urlbe-Urlbe un
dertakes to bring about the surrender of
all revolutionary bands now In the de
partments of Magdalena and Bolivar. He
will go to Bogota to confer with the Col
ombian government to this end.
The government General, Marjarres,
reached Rio Frio with reinforcements of
2000 men. These troops were destined for
the isthmus, and their arrival at Rio
Frio was unexpected. The government
forces already before the rebel positions,
In conjunction with the men of Marjarres
command, managed, to surround the en
emy completely, and after a" well-contested
engagement forced them to sur
render. Four hundred revolutionists are
reported to have been killed. The dead
were left unburled.

BRADY'S ILLNESS SERIOUS
CASTRO STILL WELL SURROUNDED.
Position of the Venezuelan Leader Is
Regarded as Critical.
WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Oct.
29. The position of President Castro, of
Venezuela, today is the same" as It was
after the recent Indecisive battle between
his forces and those of the revolution
ists. He still occupies La Victoria with
5000 men, and the revolutionists have re
turned to the vicinity of La Victoria In
large numbers, and have occupied posi
tions neai San 1 Mateo, Villa de Cura,
Cagua and Maracai. They say they are
awaiting the arrival of all their forces to
attack Castro. On Sunday last, Castro
twice tried to dislodge the revolutionists,
without result. The inaction of the lead
ers of the revolution has allowed Castro
to reopen traffic on the railroad. He now
has communication daily with Caracas,
and receives daily food supplies.
The situation of the President is still
critical. It is said on good authority,
hewever, that discord exists in the revo
lutionary p3rty. President Castro intends
to attack the revolutionists at once.
New.- has been received here that the
town of Carupano, Venezuela, was at
tacked by revolutionary forces Sunday
and Monday of this week. After a hard
fight with the government soldiers, the
rebels lost one cannon. A number of men
were killed and wounded, and they then
retreated. The government accuses the
revolutionists 6f having burned 43 houses
In Caiupano. These charges are denied
by the revolutionists, who say the houses
In question were burned as a result of the
fighting.
