back TO the Venezuelan frontier and that
contrary advices received by the navy de,
partment here yesterday referred TO local
conditions around Panama, unconnecteu
with the main theater of war.
He says the government has an army
of 1ooo0 men at various points, ana that
the main body of about 1o 900 men has
borne the brunt Of recent engagements.
They are armed with Mauser rifles, with
Remington smokeless powder and nave
Maxim rapid-fre guns and heavier field
guns of the CreuSot make, The revolu-
tionsts also have Mausers and Maxims.
The revOlutionsts also have gunboat
and another vessel used for transport ana
fighting purposes The government has
four gunboats, three on the Atlantic and
one on the Pacific side.
The revoiutionlsts are well organized,
not only on the field but abroad, with in
fuential friends here. According 20 the
other side Of the case. as stated by one
OF their adherents today, the conflicting
claims of success are due largely to negO-
tiations recently carried on as to the
Panama canal. DESTROYS of securing adj
ditional war funds the government pro-
posed an extension Of the canal conces-
sion, whereupon the revolutionist agents
abroad gave notice that II the funds were
advanced the extension would not he rec
ognized in case of the success of the
revolution. DR.. Cueryo- Marques says as
to this, however, that his government
would not resort to a Justification of war
news in order TO advance its financial
condition, and as an evidence OF the re-
liability of the government claims he
points out that. the dispatches come from
his brother, who is minister of foreign
affairs at Bogota, and are to a certain
extent personal and nenpolitcal He ex-
presses every confidence that the govern
ment Will maintain its control of af-
fairs
In official quarters it is stated that
some OF the countries adjacent to Co.
lombia, notably Venezuela Ecuador and
Nicaragua, are lending assistance to the
revolution, and that it's effect may be
far-reachng on this account.

WILL NOT DELIVER TAYLOR.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, June 13.-Gov.

Ing to honor a requisition from GOV Beck

state of William s Taylor, who is under
Indictment for the COMPLETE in an alleged
plot which resulted in the assassination
O, Gov. Goebel.
Col. Thomas G. Campbell. Justus Goehel
brother of the murdered man. and Sheriff
Suter. OF Franklin county. Kentucky, ar
rived here this afternoon with the requi-
s,tion. They met the governor in the ok
ecutive parlors ard at his orders every
che was excluded during the arguments.
Including reporters.
After hearing the arguments. Gov.
Mount asked for the papers in the case.
which included copies of the evidence and
said he would consider the matter. He did
not know when he would decide. The
Kentuckians then left the city for Louis
willie and Cincinnati.
Late tonight Gov. Mount announced his
decision. refusing to honor the reQuisi-
ton.
Gov. Mount includes i'm his statement
denunciation of the alleged injustice
of the Goebel election law, and asserts
that Mr.. Taylor has been robbed of the
office to which the people of Kentucky
elected him. In conclusion he says:
Another phase of the question that de-
serves TO be challenged is the action of
the general assembly in setting aside the
enormous sum of 600 as a reward for
the conviction of persons suspected of
having been concerned in the killing of
Mr.. Goebel. That of itself is accepted by
all right-thinking people as a tempting
invitation for the propagation of whole
sale perjury and a premium for moral
and physical assassination.
Until those already in prison have been
accorded a fair trial thus demonstrating
the possibility of securing justice In your
-GtG.
When the time shall have come that l
can feel assured that a fair trial will be
accorded Mr.. Taylor then and not until
then, Will | honor a requisition for his
return"
The governors statement is in the form
OF letter addressed to Gov Beckham.
