COLOMBIA AND ITALY.
Diplomatic Relations Between the
Two Countries Interrupted.


Two Countries Interrupted.
ROME, Italy Sept. 14.-It is announced
by the Italian government that her diplo-
matte relations with the republic of CO.

representative during the latters absence.
WASHINGTON. Sept. IA dispatch
bearing on the diplomatic relations of Italy
and Colombia has been received by Senior
Rengifo. the charge d'affaires of the latter
country here. 1t is rather brief, simply con-
tanning the statement by Minister of For
eign Affairs Paul that diplomatic relations
with Italy have been declared interrupted"
1t is pointed out that there is Slight diff
ference in the wording OF the dispatch from
Colombia and that from Rome, the former
saying that the relations were interrupt
ed" while the latter says they have been
ended" Senior Rengifo has no reasons to
suggest for the interruption of relations be-
tween the two countries, and in the absence
of fuller information he declines to make
any comment upon the reports He has
asked his government for more specific
news on the subject. The suggestion is
made here in well-informed quarters that
in all probability Colombia has taken the
initiative in this matter, and not Italy, as
stated in the Rome dispatch

by the Cuban '.RepubIic."

HAVANA. Sept. IA, via Key West-very
quiet and peaceful is the situation here, the
resident Spaniards giving evidence of a good
sense and judgment that might well be
emulated by many Cubans. The latter hold
meetings nightly at private residences,
where they adopt resolutions demanding the
absolute independence of the island and pro-
testing against the delay of the United
States in recognizing it. Each meeting re-
suits in the nomination of a president and
of ministers of its own, a condition of things
which, If 1t leads to nothing else, is bound
to cause great confusion when the day
comes for sorting out the different public
servants elected.
The report that the United States evacu-
alton commissioners had discovered fraud
ulent transfers of government buildings and
other public properties to private indvid-
uals and foreigners since the signing of
the protocol and had protested against the
ilegality OF such transactions, thus causing
friction between the two commissions is
without foundation. Indeed, it is fatty con-
tradicted in every responsible quarter. 1t
originated in a story that grounds belong
ing to the government, and known as City
Block 10. had been ceded to the Spanish
Club for a clubhouse and consulate. The
Archives de las Indias are open to the pub
lie, and there has been no transfer of gov
eminent property recorded nor any mort
gage since Aug. II.
On the other hand the Jesuits, at cost
of 5000 centenes, are believed to have sue
ceeded within fortnight in obtaining regis
tration of their property here with a back
date. 1t is, of course, impossible to get
proofs in case like this, but considerable
property never before registered in the Off
cial registry of landed property appears to-
day entered in their name The reasons are
obvious Although church property would
not in any event be contiscated, as separate
from state and government property, the
Jesuits foresee the end of their influence and
their consequent departure from the island
and they anxious to establish their right
and title to the property bequeathed to their
society in order to avoid any possible
trouble at the moment when they desire to
sell it.

Well-Meaning Women May Work Ill
to the Soldiers.


Up to this time we have heard only of the
great good that women have done during
the war. but now some other stories are
beginning to crop up that show how much
harm they might be capable of.
While the really brave and true women
of the country have been working and suf
fering for the boys in blue, cheering them
through every i'll that befell, and trying to
make their life and their burdens as easy
as possible, other ladies' of a more hysteri-
best to make the soldiers aware of every
i'll the camp life bore for them, and have
even tried to stir up mutiny and desertion.
We hear of them going about in the great
camps holding up their dainty hands and
elevating their aristocratic noses at the sad
or offensive things that they may see there.
but instead of turning in and helping 10
make things better, they merely begin to
pour out tears and rhetoric in a decidedly
reckless and almost traitOrous manner.
They cry out that such things should not
be borne: that the men must complain. ana
that If nothing is done to better their con-
dition they must desert!
Now it is all very well to express sympa-
thy, and in strong terms too, but there is
such thing as going too far and the ladies
who made those rash assertions certainly
reached that point
May be they did not realize that in coun-
selling desertiOn they were virtually COUNSEL
ing the men to commit suicide
1t is a very good thing that ladies of this
temperament are decidedly outnumbered by
the good sensible women, who not only know
how TO meet suffering bravely themselves.
but can teach and help others to bear it with
the same fortitude.

WHEELER AND SHAFTER.
The Two Generals Did Not Know
They We're on the Same Train.

They Were ON the Same Train.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Maj. Gen. William
r. Shafter and Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler
returned to New York to-day by the same
train. Neither general knew the other was
aboard the train, and they did not meet
even after their arrival in Jersey City. Cen
eral Wheeler and his party, consisting of his
son and aid, Lieut.. Joseph Wheeler. jr., and
Major Beach, travelled in a private car.
General Shafter, who boarded the train at
Washington. had berth in a sleeper. Gen.
eral Wheeler was up and dressed when the
train pulled into the depot and on the way
to the ferry he walked past the car General
Shafter was in without knowing he was
there. General Shafter took later ferry
boat to New York All he would say re-
gard1ng his plans was that he would go to
Montauk Point tomorrow. He was ac-
companied by his wife.
General Wheeler was more communicative
when accosted by a reporter. He said: II
will return at once to Montauk Point to re-
sumo command of the cavalry division.
There are five regiments of cavalry left at
Montauk-the First. Third, Sixth. Ninth
and Tenth. They will be sent to their va
rious stations as rapidly as possible
General Wheeler denied that he had said
in an interview during his journey that
President Mckinley had observed to him
that the war was not over. Moreover"
said the general, president Mckinley

ence. 1t is true that in answer to questions
as to mastering out of volunteer troops |
have expressed an opinion that a consider
able portion of the volunteer force would
be retained until peace is signed"
General Wheeler added that in his opinion
the Cubans and Porto Ricans will be found
tractable to the wishes of this government.
Il have learned" he said. that you can
accomplish nothing by dealing harshly with
Cubans, but by reasoning with them you
can get them to do nearly anything you de-
sire. They will listen to reason I do NOT
believe that a large standing army will be
required either in Cuba or Porto Rico"

at the thought that anybody might suspect
that his mother needed his help.

Havana Letter in New York Mail and Elk
press

Havana Letter in New York Mail and Ex-
press.
1t is pertinent here to record a weirdy
curious tale that was told by a Spanish
lady to an American lady and her husband,
who repeated it to me. The Spanish lady.
during a social call upon these new arriv-
ais. remarked that after all the United
States had brought peace. She gravely said
that President Mckinley had sent to the
as the price of surrender of Spanish soy
ereignty in Cuba and the capitulation OF
Havana. The excellent sonora told this
dent faith that her American friends saw
that 1t would be idle to argue with her.
She did not believe merely, she knew alb
solutely that it was true. AS the same tale
in slightly different form, has come to me
from other sources, the natural inference
is that this gilded fiction has been carefully
disseminated from the palace for the pur-
pose OF alLa wing pro-Spanish feeling
