GERMAN STEAMER HELD.
Abel MurrilIo Was Arrested and Taker
 Ashore by Colombian Authorities.

New York, July 29.-The Hamburg American line steamer Allegheny. which arrived here today, reported that she was held in the harbor of SanVilla, Colombia, for twelve hours. Passengers on the Ale gheny reported that Abel Murrillo was arrested on the ship at Sanvilla and taken ashore by the Colombian authorities. Murrillo protested against his arrest claiming he was entitled to the protection of the Geran flag.
 According to signed statement made by three of the Allegheny's passengers, Murrillo left the United States about four months ago or a passport signed by the Colombian minister. He was arrested and taken to Bogoto. where he was released on the understanding that he would sal for the United States on the first vessel. This Murrillo did, boarding the Allegheny at Sanvilla Neither the officers of the Allegheny nor the officials of the line would make any statement concerning the arrest of Murrillo.
 Arturo Debrigard, the Colombian consul in this city, said today that he understood Uribe Uribe had again become active, and when it was learned that Murrillo, who was Uribe Uribes secretary, was sailing on the Allegheny, General Vilez of the de- partment of Bolivar sent file of soldiers on board to request Murrillo to visit him. He refused, and the ship was detained The cousul said he did not think the man would be imprisoned, but simply prevent ed from meeting Uribe Uribe.

PREVALENCE OF RAIN. |
1t Now Looks Like the Great Drouth Is
 About Over.

Washington, July @.-Official advices to the weather bureau are confirmative of the press reports of the prevalence of rains over the corn belt since last night, with cooler weather. During the past twenty-four hours rain has fallen very generally over that section, with some few exceptions, notably Southern Ohio. Kentucky, and Southwestern Nebraska. While not very heavy in amount the rains are described officially as pretty fair for summer time. At Kansas City there was over an inch of precipitation; from one quarter to almost two inches in various parts of Iowa, In Nebraska the rainfall was fair; in Eastern and Northern Oklahoma there were showers and in Missouri they were pretty fair. Showers are predicted for tomorrow east of the Mississippi river and fair weather west. Temperatures in the corn belt were generally above ninety degrees, but in some localities they did not get so high and were not above ninety-flve degrees each in some localities. For the next day or two temperatures will be reasonably moderate as compared with those of the past heated period.

MALARIA.

The people who live in low, swampy countries seem to take it for granted that Malaria, Fevers and Ague are nec- essary evils. They apparently do not re- alize that these diseases are slowly but surely sapping their general vitality. These intermittent levers. malaria. fever and ague, swamp fever, jungle fever etc., are the most persistent enemies of the human race. If the aggregate of harm they do could be realized, they would be fought as plaques.
 These diseases are the result of weak ness, of poisoned microbial blood, and 1t was long ago demonstrated that Dr. liar ters Iron Tonic was an absolute specific; a sure cure.- It has been conquring and preventing these diseases for nearly half a century It purifies the blood and drives out the poisons-
 It has been thoroughly demonstrated that the insects which infest new coun- tries and low swampy localities are ve- hicles for carrying disease germs. If your blood is pure and healthy you need have little fear of these. But if your blood is bad it is not in condition to resist the poisonous stings, and as a result the germs of disease obtain footing.
 [ Protect yourself by using Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. It, will not only drive out but keep out malaria and other levers of like kind. It has done 1t in so many thousands of cases that you cannot doubt.
 Made only by the Dr. Harter Medicine Co, Dayton Ohio. Sold everywhere.

GRIEvED FOR BREsCI.
Italians In Paterson Celebrate Ami
 versary of Assassin's Death.

New York, July 29.-Bartholdi hall In Paterson. N. J., was packed today py the friends of Bresci, the assassin of King Humbert of Italy, this being the anniversary of the deed. The street in front of the hall was also filled with peo- ple. It is not claimed that all who turn ed out are anarchists, the supposition be- ing that many were present from curiosi- ty But the speakers lauded Bresci and his act Brescis widow was not at the meeting, although she had been placarded as one of the attractions.
 Pedro Esteve, editor of La Questione Socfale oudid his previous efforts in lauding Bresci. He was encouraged by frequent cheers. Other speakers were Ernestine Cavelli, Peter Morressi and Giuseppe Mazzetta.
 All spoke in Italian.
 "I wish every country had a Bresci,' said Esteve, and the sentiment was vocif- erously applauded Down with mon- archy, down with empires" he continued, and the cheering was accentuated. The speaker, referring to Bresci's com panions, Quinto Carello and Lami, who l sailed with him, said they sailed for the same purpose. ''They all went in to dc 1 that which Bresci did,'' said tht speaker Havink said that the last two are ir prison, the speaker continued: ''The ques- ton we ask the United States govern ment is, were these citizens and where are they now?'
 It appeared from further rumors thai l two others had been selected to do the work which Bresci did, but they failed One of them, Matted, committed suicide The other, Spirondo. was let off on condi. ton that he kill shop foreman who was objectionable to the Italians. Esteve ir conclusion complimented the authorities of Paterson, who permitted these meet ings while the police of New York and Brooklyn prohibit them"

BOER RACE IS
 NEARING ITS END
Appalling Storyof Death Comes
 from South Africa
THE RAVAGES OF DISEASE
Kruger Says the Americans Are Help ing England to Slaughter His Peo- pie by Supplying Them With
 Horses and Ammunition.

Chicago, July 29-"The horror of the situation in the Boer reconcentrado camps in South Africa Is appalling. Men, women and children are dying at rate that would mean the extermination of the Boer race in nine years. The people are cooped up in unsanitary quarters where they are unable to secure sufficient food or clothing, with disease making terrible ravages among them.''
 Thus was the situation in the Trans vaal and Orange Free State depicted to- night sat the Christian Reformed church by Rev Herman D. Vanbrockhuisen, late pastor of the leading Dutch Reformed church at Pretoria. He has come to the United States to raise money to alleviate the sufferings of his countrymen who are huddled together in refuge camps.
 It Is sthe. intention of Rev. MT. Brock huisen to travel through the country, speaking in churches of various denomi- nations and describing the real situation through South Africa. The funds ne is able to secure will be sent direct to Pre- toria, Regarding the outcome of the struggle, Rev. Brockhuisen Is still opti- mistic He believes that the Boers will continue fighting until they eventually tire out the Briton.
 "It Is quite impossible to estimate the number of burghers now in the field he said, ;'butSthe force, is undoubtedly much larger than when Pretoria was ta- ken.''
 A few days before leaving Europe MT Brockhuisen visited President Kruger and when he asked what message he ould send to the American people, MT. Kruger replied;
 "Tell them they are helping the Eng fish to slaughter our people by supplying them with horses, mules and the muni- lions of war"

OIL AND GAS FIELDS.
Official Report oays Productive Terri
 tory Is Being Extended.

Washington, July 29.-The oil and gas fields of the Western interior and of Texas are reported upon in bulle- tin issued by the geological survey. The report says the productive territory Is being constantly extended, as there is a demand for the gas as fuel and oil is proving a profitable resource. The prinicpal- produc.lve field of the West ern interior lies in southwestern Kan sas and the northern part of Indian Territory, and although gas and oil in limited quantitles have been found as far north as Kansas City and along the western border, according to the report, the Beaumont oil has gravity of 22 degrees baume, has an asphalt base and contains a considerable quan- tity of sulphur "Tests show" says the report, that the percentage of light oils which It contains is very low and it Is therefore regarded as fuel oil This cluster of wells at Beaumont which have reached the oil deposits are four miles south of the center of the town and within a radius of half a mile of those first discovered. Up to June 15 those actually recognized as producers number eleven.
 "The active drilling has been nearly all confined to the spindle top height, and thus far has developed a field of limited extent. Some of the wells sit uated very near to the producing ter ritory are now proved to be failures. This mas caused a more conservative spirit among the operators and the oil business is beginning to be conducted on a more careful basis. The fact that the reservoir under spindle top heights appears to have only limited extent does not preclude the possibility of finding oil in the same general horizon in other places. Instead of continu- ous field, prospectors should expect to find number of small fields occurring at wide intervals"

COLUMBIA AGAIN BEATS CONSTITUT|UN Won inc $1,OO0 Cup Present.
 ed by Colonel AStOr MANY EXPLANATI0 MADE It Is Not Easy for the Constitutions Best Friends to Make Plausible
 Excuses for Her Most Pal
 pablo Defeat.
MANY EXPLANATIONS MADE

Newport, R. l., July 29.-The Columbia today defeated the Constitution boat for boat ip a splendid race by two minutes and fifty-four seconds and won the 5000 cup presented by Col. John Jacob Astor. Her victory was decisive and convincing. The behavior of the Constitution on the other hand was disappointing in the ex- treme and this afternoon MT. Duncan an- nounced that his boat would not take part in further races until her rig had been altered He declared that the Con- stitution is not doing herself justice; that she is not going well and that there is no use in racing her further until she is put in proper shape.
 The Constitution will not participate in the Newport yacht racing events of Thursday and Saturday of this week as competitor of the Independence. The Co., lumbia howtver has been entered Tor these races and will sail against the Bos- ton boat.
 The regular trial races for the purpose of selecting the defender of the Americas s cup will be held here on August S1 and sep- tenber 1 and B. The course was total distance of thirty-eight nautical miles.
 It is not easy for the best friends of the Constitution to make plausible excuses for her most palpable defeat. She was beaten fairly and squarely on her merits, :.
 In the private class for sloops and yawls the entries were the yawli Navahoe and the sloops in class I-Hester. Eolin, lso- lede and Senta. Eolin was the victor
 The schooners all in one class were rep- resented by the flagship Corona, the Qui- setta and the Elmina. The Elmina won the $500 cup for schooners, beating the Corona on time allowance
 The Boston boat Independence, started over the course about a mile ahead of the racers. She tackled them to leeward off 1 the Block Island mark and did windward work similar to that of the racers, but at no time did she show any great speed
