REVOLUTION IN COLOMBIA

Uprising Has. Been Planned for n
Long Time, but Does Not
Succeed.

DR.. Cuervo-MarqueZ, the charge d 'affaires
of Colombia, is quite naturally deeply in
terested in the revolution now In progress
in his country.
There are several very complex causes
which have been developing since 1855 with
the downfall of the liberal party, which is
now in arms said DR.. Cuervo-Marquez in
speaking of the uprising, "and the coming
into power of the conservative party. 1t
has been the lot of the president, DR.. San
clemente. whose administration is recogniz-
ed by the liberals themselves as one of the
most honorable ever had in Colombia, to
have to deal with revolution which has
tcen forming for long time. The revo-
lutionists have taken advantage of the ad-
Vanced age of the presldent-elghty-s

cial crisis produced by depression in the

RevoIutionists Do Not Succeed.
THE revolutionsts claim they have a
large and well-equipped army, ships on the
Atlantic border. and some monetary re-
sources. Notwithstanding all this they do
not succeed. They have never taken such
ports as Cartagena. Barranquilla, Santa
Marta, Buenaventura, Colon, Panama, &c.

The revolutionists publicly claim this,
but ! cannot believe such scandaloMs pro-

BIG FIRE IN NORFOLK.
Three Buildings in Heart of Business
District DentrOyed.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NORFOLK, Va, June 12.-The large
business block No 213 to 2l7 Main street,
in the center of the retail district, burned
this morning. The fire originated in the
tailoring establishment of NJ. c. Carroll,
on the second floor from an explosion of
gasoline.
While the flames were at their height out
of the smoke rolling from a third-story
window man emerged. He climbed along
the wall for several feet and secured
foothold on the window ledge of the ad-
joining building, only to find the sash
down. The mans knees were quaking un-
der him. and It seemed inevitable that he
must fall to his death. He was Paxton
Pollard, mute engraver, whose first init
nation of danger was when the flames
burst into his establishment from below.
The heroism of Charles Gait. a negro
waiter. saved Pollard's life, for he could
not have maintained his perilous perch
until the fremen arrived. The crowd
shouted to him to hold on, but the negro
was the only one who went to his rescue.

non Ball Clothing Company and Jimmy
Jones' famous restaurant We're damaged

building was Quilted.
