Armies Aggregating 25,oOO Men
Facing Each Other.
Much Conflict as to
Exact Status Of War.
The Panama Canal Involved In
the Uprising.

Washington, June 12.-Although there
revolution in Colombia, all advioes agree
that armies aggregating %, 200 men have
been facing each other with sanguinary
results.
The Colombian charge here, DIR. Luis
Curvo- Marquee, said today that the
official information coming from the
Colombian capital showed that the revo-
lutionists had been forced back to the
Venezuelan frontier; and that contrary
advices received by the navy department
here yesterday referred 10 local conditions
around Panama. He stated that the
government had an army Of 70,c00 men
at various points and that the main body
of about 5000 men had borne the brunt
of recent engagements. They were armed
with Mauser rifles, with Remington
smokeless powder, and had Maxim rapid
fire guns and heavier fell guns of the
Creus6t make. The revolutionists also
had Mausers and Maxims. The revolu-
tionists al so had gunboat and another
vessel used for transport and fighting
purposes. The government had four gun
boats, three on the Atlantic and one on
the Pacific.
The revolutionists are well organized,
not only ON the field but aboard, with in
f1uential friends here. According to their
side of the case, as stated by one OF their
adherents today, the conflicting claims of
success are due largely to negotiations
recently carried on as to the Panama
canal. DESTROYS of securing additional
war funds the government proposed an
extension of the canal concession, where
upon the revolutionists agents abroad
gave notice that IL the war funds were
advanced, the extension would not be
recognized in case Of the success of the
revolution. DIR. Marquee said as to this,
however, that his government would not
resort to Justification of war news in
order to advance it's financial condition,
and as evidence Of the reliability of the
government claims, he pointed out that
the dispatches came from his brother,
who is minister of foreign affairs at DO
gotta, and were to q certain extent person
al and non political.
In official quarters, 1t is stated that
some of the countries adjacent to Colon
bia are lending assistance to the revolu-
ton and that its effect may be more far
reaching on this account.

JUDGING A NATION.
By the Advertisements Which Are
 Printed in the Newspapers.

Printed in the Newspapers.
 .How easily one can tell the country in which a paper is printed just by a glance at the advertisements, said a woman delver at the library the other day to the New York Commercial Ad- vertiser man. "Here's an Italian paper nothing but ads or restaurants and things to eat; and here are some French papers, every one of them hon. eyeombed with eulogies of Dr. B.s recipe pour maigrir,' or Dr. Z.'s lotion pour embellir la peau, or to render bright the eyes And so many medi- cines! For coughs and colds and spinal diseases and smallpox! Talk about Lourdes. why, NJ. Zola need only to have glanced at the advertisements of the papers of his native land to have got copy for chapter oeghorrors. And here is German paper-obesity and beer and books; isn't that eharacteris- tic? But the most typical of all are the English ads all about travel, false hair, carriages, tea, cocoa, hotels and bicycles-jewelry, complexion lotions and tailors figure prominently in some papers. but travel and tea and hotels and false hair fill pages in all the papers Listen to this, opened at ran dom in one of the smaller English magazines: TO the Continent on Crack Liner "A Holiday Trip to the Canaries,' To the Fjords and Baltic on Yacht, Cheap Trip to Weymouth, Quick Line to Scandinavia, and then pages and pages of hotels. The Amer ican papers are more cosmopolitan than any of the foreign papers, and so in their way just as characteristic ef the land of emigrants, I suppose One typical Yankee trait their advertise ments have is that nearly everything is patented. Baby swings, chairs, beds, eorsets, soups, four, biscuits, soap, fur niture and shoes. Nearly everything is made by machinery and almost ey- erything is patented.'

Studying Aesop in Central Africa.

Probably Aesop is not as much read in our own country as he used to be, but there is chance for him yet in central Africa. The report of the Lon Gon Missionary society relates that at Kawimbe an "Aesop class" is conduct cd by the native teachers on Sunday afternoons. Sometimes" says the re- port, ..the lessons they draw are very good and helpful, and contain more Christian teaching than the fables themselves would warrant. ."-Birning- ham Post

Celestial Days Of Rest.

There is no Sabbath in China,
but to make up for this there are
many general and local festival
days. Business is suspended
only on the first day of the year,
and then every body makes merry
and celebrates the day with good
eating and drinking.
The first three days of the
lunar year and several days about
the middle of April are devoted
also to worship at the tombs.
The days of relaxation and
merry making are the two soils
tices and the festival of the dra-
gon boats.
Besides these, every family has
its festival days, when the tenn.
pie belonging - the family is
visited and the ancestors remem-
bered.

revenue or war stamps on all
kinds of business papers. At
least bill has been introduced
in Congress to reduce the tax
about $40,OOO,OOO, and, if it

days later. Just what the re

pear. In his recent message.
Mr.. Mckinley recommended a re

The President Opposes 1t.

The Washington correspondent
Of The News and Courier writes
to his paper as follows, concern
ing a question of vital Importance
to several of the southern states:
President Mckinley declared
himself today az opposed to any
proposition looking to the cutting
down of the representation Of
those southern states in which
there have been adopted laws or
constitutional amendments de
signed to restrict the suffrage by
eliminating the ignorant vote.
1t has been known to those close
to the president that he would
not favor any of the attempts to
punish the people of the south
for this sort of legislation which
have sprung from the disordered
minds of partisan Republican
Congressman, but it was not un-
til today that he gave open ex-
preston to his views. Senators
Daniel and Martin and Represen-
tatives Otrey and Swanson, all of
Virginia, called at the White
House this morning to pay their
respects to the president. The
usual greeting had hardly been
exchanged when President Nc
Kinley brought up the subject
himself. He did not say much,
for a great many words on the
subject were not necessary, but
what he did say was decidedly to
the point and gave great satisfac-
tion to mis- auditors. He said he
was not in favor Of any movement
to cut down the representation
in congress of the southern states
which had felt impelled to put In
to effect these restrictions to the
ballot. There might be abuses
growing out of conditions in the
south, but he felt these would in
time rectify themselves and that
the people could be relied upon
to do justice. He did not 20 into
details to any extent, but he did
make his position clear, which is,
of course, the main thing. This
statement is an open declaration
of President McKinley's position
as it has been understood. A
few men like Judge Crumpacker
and others, who want to cater to
the colored vote in their districts,
will probably continue their en-
deavors to agitate the cutting
down of southern representation,
but these efforts have the sym
pathy of neither the president nor
other Republican leaders.
