PURE FICTION.
PURE FICTION
Copyright; 1900: By The New-Yor< Tribune
IBY CABLE To THE TRIBUSE.I

London, Sept. 0--The various runors which
have gained currency with reference 10 alleged
friction in the management of the Carnegie Steel
Company and the pending or actual resignat ton
OF the president, secretary and other officials
were brought TO the notice of Andrew Carnegie
at his summer residence in Scotland by a CORE
spondent of The Tribune this afternoon. In
reply Mr.. Carnegie made the following state
ment:
am glad to have the opportunity Of contra
dieting the unfounded stories 10 which you refer
in the most emphatic terms. You can tell the
readers of The New-York Tribune that there is
no word OF truth in the allegation that any fric-
ton exists in the management of the Carnegie
company On the contrary, there is no friction
Whatever. nor has any arisen. At previous
period have those connected with the control
and administration Of the concern worked to-
gether with more complete harmony. nor is there
any foundation for the statement that changes
are contemplated among the important officials
OF the company, who are all cooperating more
like a band of friends than as associates in
business.
AS to any alleged dissatisfaction on my part
fta9 with the results which have been Obtained
and with the prospects Of the future. bur de-
lighted with them
At the London office of the Carnegie Steel
Company no information could be given in the
absence from town Of Mr.. Carnegie and Mr.
Phipps The officials declined to make a state
ment with respect to alleged changes They ad-
mItted having heard rumors. but could only say
that so far as they knew there was no truth
whatever in these reports

USURPER RIFLES COLOMBIA
SPECIAL MESSENGER TO SECRETARY
HAY GIVES REAL FACTS OF
HIS COUP

Benito Zalamea United States vice-Consul-
General at Bogota. reached the city yester-
day with dispatches to Secretary Hay from
Charles Burdett Hart the Minister to Colombia.
Mr.. Zalamea brought news of the real state Of
affairs in the country. which has been concealed
by orders Of the usurping President.
Some time ago news was received that Presi-
dent sanclemente had resigned, and that Vice
President MarrOguin had legally succeeded him
This news was sent by cable by Marroguin to
the Colombian representatives all over the
world. with instructions TO transmit 1t to the
heads of the various governments The latter
were suspicious OF Marroguin. and delayed
recognizing him. Minister Hart was asked 70
send fuller information TO Washington. 1t now
appears that Marroguin did not peacefully sue
ceed sancIemente, but seized him. together with
General Palacio. the Secretary of State, and put
them in prison at Villeta. The actual coup
d'etat took place on July 81 at midnight.
The present state Of affairs is an outcome of
the contest that for the last ten months has
been fought by the Conservatives against the
Liberals, or Revolutionists. When this contest
was practically ended the Historical wing of the
Conservatives broke away from the Natural
istic wing in an attempt to get the upper hand
in the Government The Historical wing under
Marroguin, decided upon the coup detat
Mr.. Zalamea saw President SancIemente in
the prison at ViIIeta- The President told him
that he would not give in or recognize the new
order Of things. He was impatient for the true
state Of affairs 10 be made known. Since as
suuing power Marroguin has overriden the con-
stitution. the laws and everything else con-
Quoting himself in manner little short Of that
Of a military dictator He has succeeded in
keeping the news of Sanclemente's and Palacto's
imprisonment from getting abroad UP to the
present time
Several of the governors of the different
States and other agents Of the legitimate Gov
ernment have refused to recognize Marroguin.'
said Mr.. ZaIamea- They have taken the stand
that Sanclenente. having been elected according
to the constitution, is the only legitimate Presi-
dent The Supreme Court likewise has refused
TO recognize the new Government The Consejo
de Estaco (the cOnsel d'6tat, or Cabinet has
taken the same stand toward Marroguin In
fact, there IS widespread opposition to him,
and 1t is not improbable that the Naturalistic
wing of the Conservatives will join forces with
their old enemies, the Liberals, and endeavor 70
overthrow him Personally Marroguin is a
pleasant man. who has been driven TO his pres
ent course Of action by his party
Eduardo Espinosa Consul-General of the Co
lombian Government in New-York. was aston
ished to hear Of Sanclemente's Imprisonment
and Marroguln's usurpation- He has decided not

WEST BURKE.

Last Thursday morning about 2
O'Clock SOUTH bound freight, in charge
of A. c. Eastman, engineer, and Con-
ductor Gokey, was derailed just opposite
A. H. Silsby's steam mill. The accident
was caused by defective truck frame or
broken wheel. 1t was discovered after
ward that the difficulty which caused the
wreck occurred just south OF Sutton
station, as the marks were plainly seen
until it reached this point. The car
which caused the trouble was the twelfth
from the engine. Four cars were badly
demolished in the wreck, two of which
were loaded with hay and two with
sheet pulp. The wrecking train arrived
upon the scene about four O'Clock and
succeeded in clearing the track at eight.
Both morning passenger trains and two
freights going north were held just below
the scene OF the wreck. The day mail
going south was held on the Summit
until the arrival of the two passenger
trains north. The wrecking crew were
busy all day transferring freight, and
the regular trains were able to pass on
their usual time.
