Effect of the War in Colombia.

WASHINGTON, June H.-The State De-
partment has received information of the
serious devastation the revolution in Colon
bia is causing. 1t also shows the very
straitened circumstances in which the gov
eminent finds itself, owing to the war. The
government is out of funds and is making
tax levies, which are very hard to bear
placing onerous export and excise taxes on
coffee, which is the principal crop of the
country. The revolution also has drained
the country of men and has resulted in the
destruction of crops and of animals used
for transportation.
