Nobody knew who we were, yet we had no difficulty about getting admission. In answer to our pull of the bell, a negro looked at us through a peephole in the front door, and being apparently satisfied with our appearance, immediately let us in. About half dozen men were talking at the supper table, about dozen more were playing at the faro and roulette tables. Everything looked quiet and re- spectable, almost solemn. No stakes of money were to be seen, as they are all ways to be seen on the tables of Baden and Hamburg. The games are played here with ivory chips, which every gambler has to buy before he sits down to the game. A man who is known to be responsible can have any amount of oLA0o0 OAAPS WIlllouG paying.

Assassination in Colombia.

In Carthagena four persons were mur- dered in cold blood and many others wounded. It seems that at eight o'clock in the evening, Urmeta, son of the Dutch consul, while seated on bench in the promenade, was suddenly stabbed to death. At the same. time groups of armed men, stationed at different points, began firing. MT. Moreno, the Dutch consul, while trying to save his son, was struck down with saber and was badly cut. He expired soon after reaching his home. Several others were wounded and servant of Eir Porto was killed. This was at eight o'clock in the evening. Two hours later, Don Augustin Velez, while on his way home, accompanied by his son, was fired at. He rushed in the open botica of the Romanes to save himself, and ran up stairs. The assassins fol lowed him into the house, up stairs, and down into the kitchen There he was murdered in cold blood. Don Augustin Velez was most excellent man, and of Santo Domingo. The assassins have been arrested and quiet restored. No political significance was attached to the affair.
