Colonel John Q. New, who managed
ex-President Harrison's campaign for
the nomination for the presidency and
was consul general of the United
States at London during the Harrison
administration, in an authorized in
tervlew by a representative of the AS
soclated Press said:
General Harrison does not desire
to run for the presidency, and is in
no sense candidate, and the stories
that he has withdrawn in the interests
of any one are without foundation in
fact. Were his advice solicited he
would select neither Mr.. Mckinley
nor Mr. Reed, as the Republican can
didate for president"
Colonel New declined to state whom
General Harrison would prefer as a
candidate.

been called of the stump in Ken

II. Fitzgerald, Of indianapolis, or.
ganizer of the Soldiers Colony,
which is to be brought to Georgia
from the northwest, 10000 strong,
arrived here to close the contract
for 10000 acres OF Georgia farming
lands. The land lies In Wilcox
and Irwin counties, the center Of
the lumber region. 1t was secured
through Ex-Governor Northern, Of
the Georgia Bureau Of Immigra-

syndicate he represents. AS for
his movement, Mr.. Fitzgerald says
it is well organized, has full plans
mapped out and the colony will
start south in the fall. He will
make the first payment Of $4,000

BOLIVIA THREATENS PERU.
Ecuador May Join the Forces OF
Bolivia, But Neither of Them
Has q Navy.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-South
American diplomats in Washing
ton are much interested in the
press reports that Bolivia has pre-
sented an ultimatum to Peru,
which the latter has rejected, and
that Bolivia and Ecuador have
formed an alliance with the pros
pect of making war on Peru. Peru's
former strength has disappeared
since the war with Chile. The Chill.
cans took all the Peruvian war
ships, and it Is believed that one
old transport is all that remains Of
the Peruvian navy. The army Is
said to number about 4, 900 men.
Bolivia has no navy and her
army is said to be about the same
as that of Peru. She is entirely in
land since the war with Chilli, when
Chile took possession Of those prov.
inces which had formed Bolivia's
coast line.
Ecuador is said to be in good
fighting trim, as she has just
emerged from a revolution and all
her people are in arms. But her
navy is Insignificant, her only good
warship having been sold to Japan
some months ago. 1t looks there
fore to those conversant with the
situation that these cripples cannot
fight at sea and there are great
stretches of desolate and noun
famous country between them.
Chile ia no way interested In the
