besieged. but this time by the liberals,
1000 strong, and the government is
unable to raise the siege.
The latest reports from the interior
OF this country purport that the lib
erals. who only 3 short time ago ap-
peared to be completely exhausted and
who suffered a tremendous moral set
back with the failure of their attempt
to take possession of the isthmus of
Panama, have undergone a vigorous re-
action, induced mainly by the confusion
which followed Vice President Marc
gums coup d'etat. 1t is admitted even
by the government officials that the
liberal forces are in possible possession
of VOlivan and that the cities of Carta-
gena and Barranaquilla. which are on
the banks of the Magadelena river near
its mouth, and consequently constitute
practically the only means of access
from the Atlantic to the interior and
GogOta, the capital, are surrounded by
the liberal army. On the Pacific sea-
board the liberals hold the port of
Tumace, while the government has sue
ceeded in keeping Buena Ventura,
which is the terminus of the govern
ment telegraph wires from the capital
and is also connected with the outside
world by cable.
Throughout the whole extent of the
republic a chronic guerrilla warfare is
conducted. This civil contest is one of
the most sanguinary that ever ragged in
those countries.

ANCLO GERMAN PACT
IS WIDELY DISCUSSED
English Papers Say It is a Remarkable Success for
British Diplomacy.
NO WORD From COnger TO Preliminary Meeting to Arrange
Terms Of Peace-WaS Probably Postponed.

London, oct. 22.-All the morning pa
pers dilate upon the high Importance
of the Anslo-German agreement The
Daily Telegraph, which describes it as
the most remarkable success secured
by British diplomacy since the Berlin
treaty. says:
1.-The significant circumstances of its
publication clearly suggests that t was
Initiated by Lord Salisbury at tn mo-
ment when an ill-considered call was
made for his retirement from the for
eign office"
Although without such ELUSIVE praise
of Lord Saisbury's diplomacy, most
of the papers warmly approve the
agreement and recognize in it a warn
ing to other powers, especially Russia.
Comment of Newspapers.
The Daily Graphic remarks:
1.-The agreement Is the direct outcome
of Germany's isolation in China. She
mad found herself committed to a punt
tive policy without the support of the
other powers. 1t is another journey to
Canossa for the German jingoes."
The Daily Mail observed:
1.-THE agreement almost amounts to
an offensive and defensive alliance. 1t
will put an end TO the last hope of Eu-
rOpean Intervention in South Africa
The Standard, which is Unstinted in
its praise of Lord Salisbury and Count
Won BuelOw, says:
'The agreement should be endorsed
with aIacrity by the open door, and is
almost nervOusly anxious to avoid any
prolonged enlargement in the lar
east"
Times Less Eulogistic.
The Times, somewhat eulogistic.
says:
1T seems to be a sensible and bust
ness-like agreement, so far as It goes,
but it hardly justifies the far-reachfng
differences some persons appear dis
posed to draw from it. The first and
second clauses bind us to nothing which
we have not repeatedly prOfessed. The
third clause is purely contingent and
relates altogether to an eventuality
that has not arisen, and we trust is ex-
tremely unlikely to arise.
Russia has expressly declared that
her occupation OF Manchuria is only
temporary, while nobody can suppose
that Germany intends to abandon her
traditional policy toward Russia in IA
For of an Anglo Russian alliance"
What Other Papers Say.
The Daily Chronicle, the Morning
Post and the Daily News adopt a sim
liar tone. The first-named joural says:
1.-The third clause may mean nothing
or something very serious, as no sane
man expects Russia to withdraw from
Manchuria."
The Morning Post says:
Russia Will probably not be fright
ened by the third clause of the agree
ment. Doubtless she has already made
her bargain with Germany, the latter
being in the habit of making agree
ments with both sides at once"
The Daily News, after asking wheth-
er there is any secret understanding
behind the agreement, says that Lord
Salisbury has again changed his policy
and has abandoned the British sphere
OF influence along the Yang Use Kiang.

BLOODY civil WAR TRANSFORMING
COLOMBIA into NATION OF PAuPERS

Correspondence of the Associated Press
Panama, Colombia, Oct. 1S.-Little is
known in any part of Colombia regard
ing the conditions existing in the other
sections of the country. Such points
as are connected by telegraph or cable
are held by the government and at
such places the bulk of news conveys
grandiloquent narratives of victories
achieved over the liberals.
The fact remains, however, that the
civil war goes merrily on. The country
is being drained of all it's resources
and the most pitiful poverty prevails in
all directions. The interior of this nat
urany fertile and rich land is devass-
tated. Colombia will, at the end of the
war, be country of paupers-
The city of Cucuta, the erstwhile
liberal stronghold, near the Venezuelan
frontier, was recently captured by the
government forces after a siege of
twenty days. Accounts of the acts Of
brutality and the horrifying scenes that
met the eye at the surrender of Cucuta
have appeared in the newspapers of
Maracaibo, Venezuela. This place, it
appears was nearly RACED to the
ground. Bodies lay in the debris in
the streets in IL state of qualification.
A drunken soldiery was let loose amid
the nearly starved inhabitants and
every sort of bestiality was committed.
Just now the unfortunate city is again

of peace is not furthered by throwing
a bomb.
There are two important points in
the agreement. The first is that the
second article destroys somewhat the
value of the protocols Observation-Disclosures
by reserVing To the contracting parties
the right to make eventual arrange
ments according to the behavior of a
third party. The second point is that
II this specific accord indicates 2. last

ana Great Britain, il viii be, thanks
TO the sad Transvaal war, the realiza-
ton OF a faVOrite plan of Lord Sails
bury and Mr.. Chamberlain, and, at
the same time, the starting point of
a new era in international relations"
The Journal des Debats, after ex-
pressing a doubt that the agreement is
directed against Russia, asks whether,
on the contrary. Germany ana Great
Britain having accepted the situation,
as 1t affects the establishment of Rus
STA north of the Great Wall have not
excluded from that region other powers
who are prohibited from extending
themselves at the expense of China.

the two contracting powers guarantee.
Before giving a definite opinion regard
ing the attitude, we must know the
attitude of Russia. for the Importance
Of the agreement depends entirely upon
whether it is, or is not, hostile to Rus
sia.''
After the foregoing and similar COM
ments had appeared in the French

NOTHING FROM CoNGER.
American Minister Hears No Word
Of Peace Negotiations

washington, Oct. 21-NOthing came
TO the state department today from
Minister Conger in regard to the pro-
posed preliminary meeting for the con-
sideration of peace negotiations asked
for by Ii Hung Chang and Prince
Ching for Oct 20. The presumption of
patches announcing that it had been
postponed is correct.
This postpOnement was probably due
to the unreadinesS of the powers gener-
ally to begin negotiations. the ministers
in all likelihood not having received
final preliminary instructions from their
governments for their guidance. The
United States minister, Mr. COnger, is
prepared TO proceed with the prelimi-
nary work his instructions from the
state department being ample to cover
all questions which it is expected will
be raised at the beginning.
As is understood here, the initial
meeting will relate mainly to the Veri-
ficatiOn Of the credentials of the Chi
nese plenipOtentiaries and IL these be
satisfactory the base viii be laid for

Berlin, oct. 21.-The rapid decline OF
the private discount rate was the most
striking feature OF last weeks money

MEXICO BUYS HORSES.
Purchases of Alvarez Cause War
Rumors.

RumorS.
Omaha, Neb., Oct. GA special to
the World Herald from Cheyenne,
Wyo.. says:
Senior Manuel Alvarez, an agent of
the MeXican government, came to
Cheyenne about two weeks ago and
since that time he has purchased sew
erai carloads of saddle horses. which
have been shipped TO the City of Mex
leo, Judging from words dropped now
and then by Senior Alvarez, the Mex
lean government is preparing for war
either rebellion or a war of conquest
Alvarez viii say nothing as to his
real purpose in buying so many horses
but II is significant fact that he pur-
chases only the very best saddle horses
and animals that would readily be ac-
cepted by the United State government
for cavalry service.
The prices paid are in some cases
fancy, and Senior Alvarez seems to have
plenty OF money. He does say that he
was directed to this section because of
the reputation made by Wyoming
and Colorado horses in the late. war
with Spain. He says he wants only
the very best animals
