ITALY TO FORCE COLUMBIA
Orders Il Fleet of War ships to the
Republic to Collect II Long
Overdue Indemnity

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The State de-
partment has been notified that the Italian
government has decided to use force in Sc
curing the payment by Colombia of the
award in favor of Ernesto Cerruti, an Italian
citizen. amounting to $3.50 900.
To this end the Italian government has
closed diplomatic relations with the Co
lombian minister at Rome, and has notified
Admiral Candiani to proceed with the ltal-
ian squadron to Carthagena, Columbia, and
there adopt forcible means to collect the
debt.
A dispatch from Caracas, Venezuela, an
nounces that the Italian squadron under
Admiral Candiani left La Guayra on Mon
day for Carthagena, in order to seize the
custom house there.
The Information reaching the State de-
partment is to the effect that the Italian
squadron will reach C~arthagena tomorrow,
and consists Of four war ships.
In view of the serious possibilities in
volved in the case, the United States gov
eminent has sought to avert an immediate
crisis. On the request of the Colombian au-
thorities that the good offices of the United
States be offered, word was sent to our
charge d'affaires at Rome to make inquiries
into the status of the case.
There appears to be no disposition on the
part of our government to interfere in the
matter, as we are precluded from contesting
an award made by this government. At the
same time it is hoped that Italy may be
disposed to grant sufficient time to the
South American republic to permit it to pay
the award without suffering the indignity of
the seizure of its chief port.
AS Italy's purpose is confined to the col
lection of the award, and has no territorial
purposes in view, it is said that the Monroe
doctrine has no application to the case, but
it is governed by the rules which applied
to the British seizure of Corinto, when the
British squadron occupied the custom house
until a claim of SIS, 900 was paid.

CLARINDA, Ia, July 12.-(Special.)-
Something like complete reports are begin
ming to be received from the cl%oudburst in
this county last week. 1t is found that at
Shambaugh ten inches of water fell in about
an hour. The electrical display was terrific.
On hillside fields corn two and three feet
high was washed out completely; whole
fields of 1t were torn away and washed into
the gullies at the bottom. Small trees in a
good many places were torn up by the roots.
Bridges were taken out and along the Noda-
way valley there is hardly a road grade or
a culvert left. The county will lose many
thousands of dollars. During the great rain
fal there was a terrific electrical display.
The big barn on Emanuel Huddle's place
was struck by lightning and destroyed. Mr..
Huddle's son and a hired man were sleeping
in it and barely escaped alive. Grain in the
fields was fearfully damaged and many
farmers are losers of practically their entire
crop.

ATLANTIC, Ia, July 13.-(Special.)-The
Atlantic Canning company closed its pea
packing last evening, with over 500, 900 cans
in its warehouse. The pack was eXcep-
tionally fine, due partially to the use OF
improved mechanical pea pickers and thresh-
crs, which save unnecessary handling of
the peas. The company, which is the largest
packer of sweet corn in the world, has
contracted for 1000 acres and expects to
pack over 10000 900 cans this season. It's
plant covers over two acres of ground and
men are now at work erecting a mammoth

WRECKERS ARE NOW
MAKING PROGRESS
BALDWIN RUINS COMING DOWN
AT LAST.
The Work of Removing Debris Is
Expected to Begin Next
Week.

More rapid progress In the work or
razing the Baldwin ruins is now being
made. The wreckers yesterday succeeded
in pulling down a large section OIL the
Mar,,et-street WALL Another gang was
employed in clearing away the debris and
cutting timbers and bolts so the PoWeil-
street side can be hauled down. IL is the
intention of the wreckers TO remove the
Market-street side down to the second
story and then pull in the other walls
When this is accomplished the removal or
the debris will begin. Thirty-five men are
now employed, and the force Will be IN
creased Monday when the digging COM
mences AS fast as the debris is dug out
of the interior it will be carried away.
Lucky Baldwin has sold all the tim
Der to a concern which will use IL lot nre
wood. Another firm has bougnt ali the
wood pillars which decorated the notel,
paying 70 cents apiece for them. sixteen
chimneys were toppled over into the RUNS
yesterday. All the dangerous portions OF
the walls will be down oy vnIif ha l nun
on Everything of value and the pooles
of the victims which still remain peneath
the debris will then be recovered;
Mr. Baldwin has not yet decided what
he will do in the matter of rebuilding
Pending the formulation of plans for the
future he may make temporary repairs
on the more solid portions OF the building
DIV
story and reftting the stores for occu-
pancy. The construction of ten-foot
fence around the block began yesterday,
but little could be accomplished, as the he
carpenters were compelled to leave work
when the walls were being pulled down.
A New York corporation which desires
to build magnificent hotel has made an
offer for the property, but Baldwin re-
fused to sell more than half of it. He
thinks he will be able to erect modern
hotel and will not relinquish his title to
the best property he ever owned until he
is forced to do so. He says he does not
owe over $4,000 exclusive of those debts
which are secured by mortgages, and he
can easily arrange terms with the minor
creditors. Baldwin declares he will not
have a theater in the new building if he
rebulds.
Bradstreet's circular contains a para
graph that Baldwin is endeavoring to eff
feet a compromise with his creditors.
To protect patrons on the Powell-street
cars from falling timbers and bricks all
the passengers are prevented from riding
under the walls. They are compelled to
alight at the corner of Ellis and at that
point passengers must also embark. This
will be the rule until all danger is re-
moved.

against the world for a living, Is no less
notable than the herofsm Of the early sos.
One Of the most earnest members of the
corps at Byron, ILL.,, is Mrs. James House
weart, but illness once PUT a stop to her
active work. A year or so ago, when she
was nearing fifty years of age, the time
when women must be most careful Of
their strength, Mrs. Houseweart was TAX
en- seriously Ill. The family physician told
her that she had reached a critical period
of her life, and must be very careful. His
prescriptions and treatment did not bene-
fit her. and other treatment proved I'M
availing.
At last DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People were brought to her notice, with
indisputable evidence that they were help
full in such cases as hers, and with re-
newed hope she tried the remedy. Last
March she took the first box of the pills,
which gave much relief. She was de-
termined to be cured, and kept on with
the medicine, until now eight boxes have
been consumed, and she feels like new
woman.
Mrs. Houseweart said: at have taken
only eight boxes, but I have been improy-
ing since I took the first dose. / do not
believe 1 could have lived without the
pills. They certainly have done me more
good than any physician or any medicine
I have ever tried"
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold In
boxes (never in loose buli) at so cents a
box or six boxes for 81 3d. and may be had
of all druggists, or direct by mail from
