This cable dis patch was leeeived here last night from an official source in Bogota, according to the Sun: "The government is helpless in its efforts to prevent war In less than a month from now 10,000 men will be on the isthmus." This information confirming rumors cabled from Panama yesterday that Co lombia intends organizing and sending an expedition against Panama, conies as a surpriiu, in view of the changed attitude of the Colombians who had ap parently accepted the inevitable and depended on General Raphael Reyes, the Bpecial envoy to Washington, to save what he could from the wreck, says the un. General Reyes was to have sailed yes terday for Barranquilla on the steamer Valencia, but for the second time he deferred his departure. General Pedro Nelispino and I)r. Lucas Cabellero, col leagues of General Reyes on the Colom bian mission, sailed on the Valencia The story continues: I On seemingly good authority it is said that General Reyes temains here because his negotiations with the state department at Washington have not been completely broken off and that he ! nas a tentative promise trom this gov ernment that Colombia will be taken care of with a pecuniary balm for her injured feelings. No comments could be solicited from General Reyes at the Hoffman house last night on the threatening dispatch from Bogota. PRISON DAYS ENDED. Mrs. riaybiick. Held for Poisoning Her Hukband, Liberated. London, Feb. 2. Lloyds Weekly Newspapers says this morning that Mrs. Florence Maybrick, the American woman who was serving a life sentence for having poisoned her husband, was released from Aylesbury female prison at 6:45 o'clock on the morning of Janu ary 25 on special license. Her moth er, the paper says, had visited her Sat urday, January 23, and evidently was the bearer of important news. The governor of the prison on Sunday con ferred with the prison officials with a view to arranging for the departure of the prisoner, which was carried out very quietly. Mrs. Maybrick, accom panied by one of the prison matrons, entered a closed carriage and- drove to Aylesbury station, where she took a train for London. She drove from Euston station and from there went to a private house not far from the me tropolis. ' She will remain there for a short period in order to recuperate and to aware trie completion of certain form alities which will give her a freedom of movement not allowed by persons on ordinary ticket-of-leave. Mrs. Maybrick, the paper continues, during the last few months in prison was employed in the lightest work, as a reward for good conduct. RUSSIA LEAVES IT TO JAPAN. War Is Said to Depend Entirely on Eventualities. Two Paris, Feb. 2. It is understood here in best informed diplomatic circles that Russia s reply to Japan will be concil latory, but will differ in no essential manner from her attitude already de clared. The French government has been informed of every step taken by Russia in reaching a decision, but the full ten or of her reply has not yet reached the foreign office. The Gaulois quotes a higher authority as follows: "Russia will not declare war unless she is attacked by Japan. This is the will of the czar and the fundamental base upon which negotiations will be continued. At St. Petersburg it is be lieved Japan, despite her beligerent attitude appreciates the madness of en gaging in war. "Russia is ready to give satisfaction to the legitimate claims of the Japan ese on the condition that her interests are safeguarded. At this hour war de pends upon two eventualities, an attack by Japan or a local incident in Corea necessitating military intervention." No Oold Coin In Vaults. Washington, Feb. 2. For the first time in many years the treasury finds itself without any gold coin in its vaults. It is explained that this con dition is the result of an unprecedented demand for gold certificates during the time when the mints have been fully employed in coining Philippine silver and subsidiary silver for the United State. The increased demand for gold certificate which could only )m issued for gold coin in the treasury came alsiut through the needs of the large banking institution. Want Canteen In Use.

Placards were posted alsmt this city during the night inciting the native to attack and burn the shameln (suburbs) which is the European quarter. The consuls have demanded protection of the viceroy. COLOMBIA TO FIGHT DESIDES TO SEND AN EXPEDITION AGAINST PANAMA. Ocneral Reyes Largely Responsible Told HI aovernment That Americans Will Only Keep Troop Out of Canal Zone Crowd of Indian Attempt to Sur prise American Qunboat. Panama, Feb. 1. News has reached here from Bogota, that, inasmuch as Generals Reves and Cavallero have as sured Colombia that the United States will only object to her landing forces in the canal zone, the Colombian govern ment intends to organize and send an expedition against Panama. The only explanation of this news from Bogota is that the government of Colombia is compelled to take some steps to prevent its downfall. This is said to be imminent, as President Mat- roquin has lost all the prestige he ever had. There is much speculation in Bo gota as to the outcome of this move, should it be put through. People arriving here from Colombia declare the situation in that country is growing worse every day. Try to Surprise Americans. Colon, Feb. l.The United States gunboat Bancroft arrived here today from the San Bias coast. She reports the attitude of the San Bias Indians at Caledonia bay to be not only unfriend ly, but decidedly aggressive. Last Tuesday men from one of the Bancroft's boats insisted upon purchasing a few cocoanuts from the Indians and paid more than full value for them. To ward 11 o'clock that night, when it was dark, 20 canoes were seen ap' proaching the Bancroft. The gunboat turned her searchlights on the canoes, and it was revealed that each boat car ried as many Indians as could crowd in, probably 200 in all. There is no doubt that their intentions were hos tile. They hoped to reach and sur prise the ship. The commander of the Bancroft ord ered the gunboat cleared for action and her guns were loaded and trimmed ready for use. A quick firing Colt gun was placed near the gangway and ord ers were given to the gunners of this piece to keep up ceseless fire all round the canoes. As soon as the Indians heard this rain of bullets they immediately be gan to retreat toward the shore. The gunners were given express orders not to fire at the Indians, so the bullets cut the air and churned the water all around them. No shots were fired at the Bancroft, which at once sailed for Colon to bring the report of the occur rence. COREAN REVOLT IS SPREADING Increased Taxation I the Signal for Lawlessness. New York, Feb. 1. Internal disturb ance in Corea is spreading, cables the Herald 8 Seoul correspondent. It 18 the result of increased taxation. The governors of three provinces report that their officers have been captured by or ganized bands and government funds taken. Details have just been leeeived here of the disturbances at Vladivostok dur ing the celebration of Russian Christ mas. It was created by intoxicated Russian marines and Japanese women. Numerous houses were destroyed, most ly Japanese, but including the Russian theater. The usual fighting occurred. As happens on such occasions, there was considerable brutality, but no fa talities. The marines were not brought under control until much property had been destroyed. The notification of Corean neutrali ty, cabled from Che Foo to the powers, was unknown in the Corean foreign office until replies were received from the representatives abroad. The inti mation was that it was arranged by Yi Yong Ik and Hyen Sang Kun, the latter having just returned from Rub sia. The Corean minister at Tokio has been instructed especially to urge Ja pan's immediate recognition of Corea's neutrality. Turkey Has Mot Sold Cruiser. Philadelphia, Feb. 1. Reiteration of the story of the sale of the Turkish cruiser Medjidia brought forth an em phatic denial today on behalf of tin Cramps company. It was stated that at no time has there been any negotia tions for the sale of the cruiser to eith er Russia or Japan. An official of the company says: "The sultan takes great interest in the building of a mod ern navy for Turkey, with vessels of the most advanced type, and therefore we feel sure that he would not consider any offer to sell the ship." Price on Head of Officer. Constantinople, Feb. l.The porte has notified the Austrian and Russian embassies that the Macedonian com mittees have arranged with the Albani an for liU-ral reward to have them kill every foreign officer sent In to the provinces in connection with the reor ganization of the gendurmie under the reform scheme of the power.

Senator Mitchell has introduced a bill making further provisions for a civil govern ment for Alaska, and will strongly urge its early passage. The bill Is as fol lows : lie it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, That action 2 of title 1, chanter 1, of an act entitld: "An act making further pro vision tor a civil government for Alaska, and for other purposes," approved Juno 6, 1900, be, and the same Is hereby, amended so as to read as follow: "Section 2.

MUST MAKE WAR. Russian Reply to Last Note Will Not Be Satisfactory. London, Jan. SO. It was made known officially today that Russia had completed her reply to Japan. The Daily Mail professes to le able to affirm that Russia's draft of her reply has not yet been officially pre sented to Japan, but that it has been communicated to M. Knrina, the Jar anese minister at St. Petersburg, who has transmitted the content to Tokio, whence it will l conveyed to the friendly powers. The Russian reply is courteous, the Daily Graphic continues, but it refuses, in uncompromising terms, to- permit the reinsertion in the draft of the treaty of the two words, guaranteeing the integrity and irulejendence of China upon which Japan insisted in her last note. The clause proposed by Japan was that Russia and Japan should mutually agree to respect the Integrity and lmk pendence of China ami Corea. Russia has now stricken out twice the word China" and it is Understood this will close the negotiations. It is probable, the Daily Graphic goes on, that when this not has ls-cn pre sented Japan will notify Bur on De Rosen, the Russian minister at Tokio, that she has no alternative but to take up arms in defense of her interests, and that M. Kurina will le instructed to demand his passports. In the mean time instructions have been sent to the two Japanese cruisers now at Colombo to proceed to Singapore. LAROE FIRE IN YUCATAN.

Ijt Grande One of the largest Urn- Ur deals made in Oregon for some time waa that to Georito Palmer by Roliert Smith, president of the La Grande na tional bank, of the white pine tract known as the Stanley lauds, about 25 mile from I .a Grande. This piece of land comprise about 7,000 acres, and was sold at near the 1200,000 mark. Near this land is situated the Elgin lumber company plant, which was in eluded in the sale. This company was organized in May, 1902, and ha liceii closely connected with the development of lumber industries in Eastern Oregon. The annual output of this plant av erages 12,000,000 feet of lumber, which found a ready market as far east as Mil waukee and Chicago. The tract of tim ber i one of the finest in Eastern Ore gon, and consists principally of pine of ftiuaual height and size, standing upon comparatively level ground. At some future time an extension of the O. R. A N. from its present termi nus at Elgin will tap this section and deveiop a large industry '.n lumlering, and when the laud ha leen cleared of Umber it will still 1m valuable for agri cultural purpose.

He is a banker from the state of Iowa, and l very favorably im pressed with Oregon, and will likely lo cate here iu the near future. VALLEV FILLING UP. Advertising the Willamette Has Brought Many to Oregon. Salem The advertising which has been carried on in the Middle West in the last two years for the purpose of at tracting homesoekers to Oregon seem to have produced good results. Not for many years has real estate leen as active as it is now, and still greater ac tivity is expected lcfore the close of the present year. There is no blind rush to buy land, and no effort is ling made to "boom" this section of the valley, but many sales of farm land have Is-en made to people who are pleased with this u.utry and have money to invest In Hrmanent home. Though most of the sales have Is-en made at prices but little above those asked three or four year rho, the increased activity is tending to raise value, thus giving the realty market a strong tone. In the different localities of the ill- amette valley land may lie found in any stage of improvement. There are thousand of acre of land that still Iear a heavy growth of timlicr, fit to be made into fuel. There are thous and of 'acres of land from which the timler ha hewn removed and upon which the decaying stump still stand. Lying alongside these unimproved lands are farm upon which grain, hay, fruit, hops, livestock, poultry ami vegetable of superior quality are grown. it i upon these lands that a dairyman can support a cow to the acre, that hop grower and prunegrower have pro duced crop in one year sufficient to pay for the land ti)ii which they grew.

The company denies any Intention of such an under taking. The belief 1 general that they would like to pet possession of Home of the goxl timber on the const sIojhi and bo in position to compete for busines by mean of water freights, but nothing definite ha lcen done on that line a yet. The annual meeting of the stock holder 1 to In held next week and may result in some step toward devel oping business along the const slope, but nothing is looked for before that time. There i no doubt the interior mill all feel keenly the handicap under which they are laboring a compared with mill to which water transporta tion is accessible. MONEY FOR PUBLIC ROADS.
