patches, sent while he was in Constan-

written statements were fully con-
firmed by his oral explanations to the

pledges he Ssecurcd were similar TO

Tho Proposed Pacific Cables.

(By Telegraph to Virginian- Pilot.)
Washington, d. c., April 2o.-The
House Committee on Commerce to-day
substituted the Sherman bill for the
construction OF the Pacific cable, in
place of the bill recently passed by the
Senate. The Sherman bill had been
previously reported TO the House, but
to-days action puts it i'm the form of
substitute to the Senate measure. 1t
differs from the Senate bill i'm providing
construction by private contract under
government supervision. while the Sen

THE REVOLT IN COLOMBIA

That 1t is Being Crushed.


Mr.. EspinoZa, consul geneal of Colombia
at New York, called at the State DEPART
ment today and had a conference with
Secretary Hay lasting about a quarter of
an hour. The consul general emphatically
denies the accuracy of the stories which
reach the American press through chan
nels controlled by the foes of the Colom-
bian government to the effect that the in
surrectionists are making great Roadway
in Colombia. He has himself dispatches
of Saturdays date declaring that Carta-
gena and Baranquilla are in possession of
the government forces, and have been all
along. The government also holds Panama
securely, and as soon as the army can be
transhipped to Colon the insurrectionists
who remain on the isthmus will be clear
ed out in short order. Mr.. Espinoza saws
that as the rebels have been completely
crushed in Santander, losing many thou
sands in killed and wounded, the Colom-
bian government will be able to divert i'm.
mediately to the Isthmus of Panama at
least 10000 of the soldiers of the army of
