 Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 9-A dis patch received here direct from Cartha- gena, republic of Colombia, to-day. says the reason of the Colombian gov ernment for delaying it's note in reply to Italy's demand for a settlement of the Cerruti claim is on account of a popular revolutionary movement, which it is endeavoring to restrain.

OBITUARY.

 Death of Mrs. Linton, Widow of the Late w. J. Linton, the Noted En- graver.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Lynn Linton, the we'll Known novelist and essayist, died fortnight or so ago In London, She was an English woman and the widow of w. J. Linton, the celebrated engraver Who spent large part of his life in this country, residing for many years in New Haven on the State street road beyond Cedar Hill. The Critic Mag azine for August says of Mrs. Linton: Mrs. Linton was devoted to London, where she lived for over fifty years, having gone there in 1845, when she was twenty-three years of age. shall not say, judging her solely from her writings, that Mrs. Linton was a pecu- liarly genial woman. Her most famous essays were those in which she handled her own sex without gloves. ''The Girl of the Period' was her first book to at tract special attention in this country. It was witty and often wise, but it is neither kind nor gentle. Mrs. Linton abominated the modern woman, and she was perfectly sincere in her opin- ion, but she was not merciful. I have often agreed with her in part, but nev- CT wholly. Her novels were not as clever as her essays. It is by the latter that she will be remembered"
