COLOMBIAN REVOLUTION.
Large and Well Equipped Armies on
Both Sides Contradictory Re
port! of Engagements.
WASHINGTON. June 13. Although
there Is much conflict as to the status
of the revolution In Colombia, all ad
vices agree that armle aggregating
25,000 or 50,000 men have been facing
each other with sanguinary results.
The Colombian charts here. Dr. Luis
Caervo-Marques, sold today that the
official Information coming from the
Colombian capital showed that the rev
olutionlsta had been forced by to the
Yeneiuelan frontier, and that contrary
advices received by the navy depart
ment here yesterday referred to local
conditions around Panama, unconnect
ed with the main theatre of war.
He says the government has an army
of 70. W0 men at various points, and
that the main body of about 15,000 men
has borr-.e the brunt of recent engage
menta. They are armed with Mauser
ritlea with Remington smokeless pow
der, and have Maxim rapid Are guns
' and have heavier Held guns of the Cre-
usot make. The revolutionists also
have Mausers and Maxims. The revo
lutionists also have a gunboat and an
other vessel used for transport and
fighting purposes. The government has
four gunboats, three on the Atlantic
and one on the Pacific side.
The revolutionists are well organised,
not only on the field but abroad, with
influential f deeds hire. According to
the other side of the case, as stated by
. one of their adherents today, the con
flicting claims of success are due large
ly to negotiations recently carried on
as to the Panama canal. Desirous of
securing additional war funds the gov
ernment proposes an extension of the
canal cession, whereupon the revolu
tionists' agents abroad gave notice that
if the fuads were advanced the exten
sion would not be recognized in case of
the success of the revolution. Dr. Cuervo-Marques
says as to this, however,
that his government would not resort
to a falsification of war news In order
to advance its financial conditions, and,
as an evidence of the reliability of
the government claims, he points out
that the dispatches come from his
brother, who is minister of foreign af
fairs at Bogota, and are to a certain
extent personal and non-political. He
expresses every confidence that the
government will maintain Its control of
affairs.
In official quarters it Is stated that
some of the countries adjacent to Col
ombia, notably Veneiuela, Ecuador and
Nicaragua, are lending assistance to
the revolutionists and Its effect may be
far reaching on this account.

PHILADELPHIA. June 13. The fea

of Pennsylvania was an address by
Senator Cushman K. Davis, of Minne
sota, on "The Foreign Relations of the
United States." He said In part: '

FATAL FIRE IN BROOKLYN, x
Cooperage Plant Destroyed Several
Deaths Loss J 75,000.
NEW YORK, June 13. The fire that
destroyed the Paul Weldemann Com
pany's cooperage plant. In Williams
burg, Brooklyn. last night. Is known to
have caused the death of four men.
Joseph Rodgerson, a fireman, who was
crushel by a falling wall, died subse
quently at the hospital. Four men were
still missing at midnight, and some of
them are probably burled In the ruins.
The unidentified man who was killed
was on the roof clinging to the cornice
when the building collapsed, and was
thrown outward In ths street amid the
mass of flying brick and timbers. He
was fearfully mangled and his right
leg was wrenched off by the terrific
fall. The police do not believe that it
will be possible for his family or friends
to identify the body.
The efforts of the flreboats were cen
tered upon an Immense gas tank of the
Williamsburg Gas Company. The
heat of the fire was terrific, and It was
feared that it might cause the gas in
the big tank to explode. The tank was
within four feet of the top of the
frame. But the gas was drawn off
and pumped into another tank a block
away. The flreboats pumped water on
the tank to keep it cool.
Had it exploded that part of Brooklyn
would have been wrecked, as two other
big tanks of gas near by would have
gone up, as well as a square block of
oil tanks, owned by the Standard Oil
Company. Residents were panic
stricken at the possibility of an explo
sion, and many fled to distant points.
The loss to the cooperage plant was

NEW INTER-OCEANIC ROAD.
Astor Syndicate to Build a Railroad
Immediately Across Honduras.
NEW YORK, June 11 A special to
the Times from New Orleans says:
"The Astor Syndicate haa secured
from th? Honduras government con
cessions for building an Isthmian rail
way across the Republic of Honduras
from Puerto Cortes on the Atlantic, to
Amapala. on the Pacific. This is proba
bly the largest railway deal ever pro
jected In Central America. It means
a line 200 miles long connecting ocean
with ocean.
The Honduras legislature haa Just
granted the demands of the New York
capitalists, and President Sierra signed
the papers In time for the American
dispatch steamer Stillwater, which ar
rived here today. James E. Bleekman,
the managing director, who left New
York three months ago to engineer the
negotiation, and Colonel Duncan E.
Cooper, of Nashville, were on the boat.
The Astor Syndicate Is really the
Honduras Syndicate, and is composed
of New York capitalists- Among the
backers are John Jacob Astor, Senator
Chauncey M. Depew, Thomas Scott.
Minor C. Keith, Mr. Sprague, Mr. Val
entine, Mr. Jennings, Colonel Cooper
and others. Mr. BlaeSmaa Is burning
to New York to shape the details of
the organisation.
Work will begin on the Inter-oceanlc
line at once and by the terms of the
concession It must be completed In four
years. By the grant the Honduras
Syndicate can Issue and float bonds to
the amount of 320,000 in gold to every
mile of road.
With New Orleans for the port of
shipping, the scheme Is for the Illinois
Central to drain the great Mississippi
Valley for the Central America trade
in conjunction with the United Fruit
Company. It is said that Minor C.

RUSSIAN BANK IN NEW YORK.
Probability Thit M. Rothsteln Will
Establish One.
NEW YORK, June 13.-U Is said that
M. Rothsteln, general manager of the
Imperial Bank of Russia, who Is con
ferring with financiers In this city, may
decide to establish a Russian bank In
this country through which Russian
disbursements can be affected. These
disbursements, It Is said, aggregate
nearly 310,000,000 a year, and with prob
able further development of Russian
Interests In this country. It may be ad
vlsable for the government to have a
bank of Its own. Some large blocks of
the Russian railway bonds - (guaran
teed by the Russian government), sold
to American capitalists a few months
ago, have already been disposed of in
the United States for public Investment
and several million dollars of such se
curities are now held by the New York
Life Insurance Company, which does
business in Russia.
Whether M. Rothsteln will try to
float another loan in the United States
Is not known, but a gentleman famll
iar with Russian affairs said he be
lieved no conclusion whatever had
been arrived at about the matter as yet,
reports to the contrary notwithstand

SLATE-SMASHING IN OHIO.
Ross MsLcan Turned Down at the
Demxratto Convention. .
COLUMHUS, 0 June 13,-The demo
cratic state convention, after a contin
uous session of over nine hours, ad
journed tonight. It was a slats-smashing
and record-breaking convention.
The McLean men said yesterday that
they were asking for nothing, and they
centalnly got nothing. They helped
those who have been opposed to them
to places of par;y distinction and re
sponsibility. ,
It Is said that McLean did not care
to take any aggressive part on account
of the Dewvy candidacy.
During the lost hoW of the conven
tion there was much confusion an.!
disorder. Charles W. lluVor, who was
temporary presiding officer, sent for a
squad of twenty policemen, ordering
them to clear the aisles, knock down
thosa who would not sit down and com
pel the disturbers to be silent. The
police filed down from the exits and
maintained ord.r during the remainder
of the convention.
The delegates to the national conven
tion were InstruetJd to vote for W.
J. Rryan.
W. P. Huntington, the temporary
chairman of the convention, made a
sensational speech when he took the
platform, condemning McKlnley and
the republican administration In round
terms.
Mr. Huntington said In part:
The Hon. W. P. Huntington, the tem
porary chairman, said In part:
"We believe In the constitution of the
United States. We believe in the Dec
laration of Independence. We believe
In the Monroe doctrine. We believe
that the love of liberty Is born In
the human breast, and that, possessing
Its fruits ourselves through more than
a century of trial and tribulation, we
cannot deny them to others. We be
lieve that the love of liberty Is the
same In California as In Massachusetts;
the same in Cuba as In California; the
same In Puerto Rico aa In Cuba; the
same In the Philippines as In Puerto
Rico, and the same in South Africa ai
in the Philippines. We make no dis
tinction as to where liberty should be
enjoyed, when men desire It. Intelli
gent sacrifices for liberty prove the
fitness of their victims to possess it,
and there Is no line drawn between
such sacrifices, whether they are of
fered on the altar of American tyranny
In Luson or on the altar of British
greed In the Transvaal. General Sher
man sold that 'war is hell,' but there
Is no word this side of hell that can
describe the horror of war of conquest.
"We charge that William McKlnley,
of his own volition, began such a war
on the 21st of December, 1SS8. by Is
suing to the Filipinos a proclamation
claiming absolute sovereignty over the
entire Philippine archipelago, and over
the property and persons of its Inhabi
tants. " 'Ye shall know a tree by Its fruits,'
and by the fruits of -Imperialism we
know the empire. Its heralds carry
one of two weapons the sword or the
carpet-hag. Sometimes they carry
both, but they cannot accomplish more
havoc with one than the other. The
sword was never unsheathed In a war
of conquest, and a national theft was
never accomplished by diplomacy with
out being followed by the carpet-bag.
If a nation should choose hew It shoul 1
perish by the sword or by the carpet
bag it could not de better than toss
up a penny and let 'heads or tails' de
cide. In any event, for the thieving
nation It would be 'heads I win, tails
you lose.'
"The American carpet-tag in Cuba
and Puerto Rico is doing as much to
destroy the Cubans and Puerto me
ans as the American sword ever did
to destroy the Spaniards. We are pro
fesslng to teach our wards the lesson
of self-government, but are in fact lm
pressing them with the belief that the
efnacy of self-government Is Indicated
by the amount of money the governors
can steal from the governed. We are
pointing out to them the advantages
of free American citizenship that knows
no restrictions between parts of the
Union, but are telling them that 'tax
atlon without representation' does not
count as between the old parts of the
Union and the new parts. We assure
them that 'trade follows the Dag,' but
how much or how little or what kind
of trade is 'our business,' and not
theirs. We place them on the solid
rock of the constitution, but we are
careful to grease the rock so that in
case they slide off they will attribute
the catastrophe to the grease and not
to the constitution.
"How muoh better it would be If we
guaranteed Independence to the Fili
pino, self-government to the Cuban,
and to the Puerto Rlcan equal rights
In the Union; how much better It
would have been If we had done this
two years ago how Infinitely more ur
gent that we do It now."
NEGOTIATIONS NOT BINDING.
The Open Door Arrangement Not
Iron Clad.
NEW YORK, June 13,-Whlle they
admit that the "open door" negotia
tions are not as exclusive as Secre
tary Hay desired, officials of the admin
istration point out that a long step
toward the preservation of American
treaty rights In the spheres of Influence
in China has at least been taken.
Secretary Hay decllned to discuss
the doubts cast upon the success of the
negotiations In an article printed in the
National Review, written by Mr. Rob
ert A. Yerburgh, M. P., a European
diplomat well Informed of every stage
of the negotiations and thoroughly ac
quainted with Chinese affairs, and said
today that the general conclusions
reached by Mr. Yerburgh were practi
cally those of every diplomat who has
taken pains to atudy the notes ex
changed. That the arrangement reached Is not
Iron clad was apparent not only to
members of the dlplomatlo corps, but
to administration officials after th re
ceipt of the replies of foreign govern
ments to the American representations.
The assertion has been mad that Great
Hrltnln compiled In every respect with
the wishes of Secretary Hay. The
diplomat who discussed the matter this
afternoon points out that this Is not
the case, "I have much pleasure In
Informing your excellency," I.ord Sails
bury's note stated, "that her majesty's
government will be prepared to make
a declaration In the sense desired by
your government In relation to the
leased territory of Wei Hal Wal, and
nil territory In China which may here
after be acquired by Great Hrltaln by
lease or otherwise, and all spheres of
Influence now held, or which may here
after be held by her In China, provided
that similar declaration Is made by the
other powers concerned."
It Is this provision which Is an obsta
cle In the way of the complete suco
of the negotiations, 'lunula declined to
accede to the proposition advanced by
Great Rrltaln. Directly north of Wei
Hal Wei, and Jutting Into the Gulf of
P Chi LI. Is Port Arthur, now a Run-
slon stronghold. It Is believed In dlpto
matlo elides that Lord Salisbury made
his declaration respecting Wei Hal Wei
for the purpose of Inducing Russia to
throw Port Arthur open to the world
It has been noted that no reference to
Port Arthur Is made In the Russian
note.
A comparison of th Prltlsh and Ru
slan notes will show their great dls
similarity, and neither can be regarded
as binding when the proposals are so
different- As Germnny. France. Japan
and Italy gave assurances on condition,
It Is evldmt that the whole fabric of
the "open door" Is likely to be torn
away should a foreign nation think a
demand made by the I'nlted States ex
acting, and the moment propitious for
It to refuse.
REPUBLICAN VETERAN.
rhlladelphlan Who Was a Delegate to
the First National Convention.
PHILADELPHIA. June 11-Forty
four years ago last February the first
republican national convention met In
Pittsburg. As a result of that nutting
and another in June of the same year
Jthn C. Freemont was nominated to
head '.he r?publlcun ticket against
Junies Buchanan. At that convention
thr were ptesMit 424 delegates. Out
of this number, so far as known, only
fourteen ate alive today.. One of these
men Is William S. Lane, of Chestnut
Hill. Ps.
Mr. Lane was born nearly eighty-
two years ago, In a small hamlet near
Lewlston. In Mlftlin county, this state.
Mr. Lane has a remarkable memory,
and can recollect occurrences which
h-ipix'ned In his early boyhood. He
remembers several of the surviving
members of the convention quite well,
Of the situation in is; he said:
"The abolition party was then In Its
Infancy, but It was gaining strength. I
was a whig, and as a whig I believed
that slavery could not be abolished
because It was a nee'-sslty, It was a
very stormy convention."
Mr- Lane Is now In feeble health, but
hopes to take advantage of the Invita
tion of the republican national com
mittee, which has vlven the founeen
surviving delegates seats on the plat
form at the convention.
