Her Home.
Paris, Sept. 4.-Sarah Bernhardt is re-
ported to be very Ill at her residence on
Belle-Isle-en-Mer, on the coast of Brit
tany
A fortnight ago Sarah Bernhardt
promised her services at charitable
performance at st. Malo, but she did not
appear, and wrote. two days afterward,
that che had an incredible experience on
board yacht, which, however, she
could not narrate. Nothing more was
heard of her until, in reply to reporter
who inquired for particulars, Nine
Bernhardt's secretary wrote, few days
ago, from Belle-Isle- -en-Mer that she was
SO Ill from the results of the voyage
that che was unable to reply. These
myterious messages have aroused GER
tain amount of curiosity, but the plea
OF illness is not taken too seriously.
1t was announced last night that
Bernhardt had promised her services in
support of a fete in aid of the anti-tu-
berculosis propaganda, to be given on
the occasion of the cars visit and un-
der the patronage of the czarina This
indicates that her indisposition is not a
serious one.

u Contains Broad Hint That United
States Will Force Peace.
Washington, Sept. 4.-The action Of
the United States in rendering their
good offices to Venezuela and Colombia
to avert war between these countries
has not yet advanced to point to
where the government has begun the
work OF mediator. 1t has signified its
willingness to act. but 1t will remain for
the two countries to indicate when the
time has arrived for actual mediation.
Colombia already has made known that
che Will welcome the exercise Of the pa
cific offices Of the United States. In this
acceptance 1t is understood Colombia
denies she invaded Venezuela and also
places the burden Of the issue on Presi-
dent Castro in person, as against the
body of the Venezuelan people. The re-
sponse Of Venezuela Is understood to be
less definite in accepting the good Of
fees OF the United States. For the pres
ent. therefore, 1t is not expected the
United States will take further active
steps, altho its tender stands 40 clear
intimation to the contending parties
that the United States is likely to take
such action as Is necessary to avert
"
lido left for Buffalo today, which seems
to indicate no immediate crisis is antici
pated. The note of the United States in
onering to mediate has created an un-
usual stir in South American diplomatic
quarters. as it is construed to be rath-
er marked development of the Monroe
doctrine, and one which will be most
acceptable to South American states.

an emphatic rejoinder to the official
statement of Venezuela that armed in
vasions by Colombian troops have been
crossing the Venezuelan frontier and
have been forcing war upon the coun-
try. Altho the terms Of the reply are
not determined upon, it will show, in
substance, the attitude of Colombia has
been one of forbearance; that the CO.
lombian troops on the frontier are
there for the legitimate purpose Of pro-
tecting the border and any crossing OF
the line has been by detached bands
without the approval of the govern
ment. AS against yenezuela's assertions
that Colombia is forcing a war it 10
likely to be pointed out that Colombia
las remained silent while Venezuela has
received the Colombian insurgent lead
er, Gen. uribe, at Caracas, and Presi-
dent Castro and Uribe have had confer
ences on their mutual plans. In this
connection 1t has just been disclosed
that Tribe made statement at the
Colombian legation in this city to the
effect that the revolutionarym movement
OF which he 10 the head had the support
OF Venezuela, Ecuador and Nicaragua.
The statement was made during the
pendency Of negotiations for. the yurren-
der OF the revolutionists. Negotiations
with Uribe were closed, 1t is authorita-
lively stated, with an agreement to sur
render, but the Colombian authorities
are now satisfied this was clever huse
on hts part by which his agents secured
passports thru Colombia and went on an
ostensible peace mission, whereas their
real purpose was to act as spies Of the
revolutionary propagandists

Washington, Sept. At is ascertained
that on Aug. "a. during Secretary Hays
recent visit to Washington, telegraph
10 message was sent to the ministers at
Caracas and Bogota directing them to
inform the foreign secretaries OF Vene-
zuela and Colombia of the distress with
which the president had heard of the
likelihood of a disturbance Of the rela-
tions between those two republics. Ad-
Serting to the possibility of the influence
Of the United States being exerted to
compose the pending questions, the
ministers were directed to say that,
while the relations OF this government
with both nations are equally intimate
and friendly, and every opportunity is
taken to show the good will we bear
them. an offer of the presidents kindly
Offices to arrange any differences which
may exist between Colombia and yene-
zuela would be ineffective without the
pcquiescence OF both. Nevertheless, in
spired by the sentiments which are
common to all-the governments of the
American republics, the United States
would sincerely deplore q breach of the
amicable relations that at this time
happily exist between the sister nations
OF the western world. and would espe-
scially regret any action by either OF
them which might menace the security
3 of transit across the isthmus or the neu-
trality of its territory. and thereby con-
strain the government OF the United
Etates to consider It's responsibilities
and functions under existing treaty en-
eagements with Colombia. The text OF

New York, Sept. 4. - Plans OF the
movements Of the revolutionists In CO.
lombia have been received by their
agents here. and If all has gone as ex-
pected,- confirmatory news OF startling
nature may soon be expected. The
steamer Philadelphia brought a large
mali for DR.. Restrepo, agent for the
revolutionary party in this city. In an
interview he said: Altogether in Coz
lombia we have now an army OF more
than 10000 men, well armed and
equipped. Gen. uribe-Uri has 10.-
600 well-drilled troops under him,
and. according to our advices, was to
start on a campaign of invasion Of Co
August %. Before hts lines is General
Valencia with nearly an equal number
of Colombian troops to oppose him. At
Rtochacha, which is a seaport at the
northern part Of the department Of
Magdalena. with a population of 10000,
we have two generals with force Of
5000 men, who now have the city sur
rounded. Riochacha will be attacked
both on land and sea and. we expect,
will speedily fall. Then we shall take
Santa Marta, further down the coast,
and hold both seaports of Magdalena
province. Between Riochacha and Gen.
Tribe TRIBES position near San Cristo-
bal is stationed Gen. Camacho with a
force OF 1000 veterans.
Near Honda is Gen. Marin with
& 1000 seasoned men, in Cauca province.
In the south are two generals and Gen.
Herrera. When .Comacho and troops
join with Tribe Tribe the department
bf Santander will be virtually in our
hands"
The brief cable mention Of the recent
sinking of the Colombian gunboat La
Popa has been supplemented by further
particulars regarding the accident, by
mail. Gen. Joaquin velez, governor OF
B6lfvafs charges La Popa was sunk by
rebels, and has caused the irnprison-
ment oe four survivors, charging them
with completely in the plot. The gov
ernment used every endeavor to sup.
press details OF the wreck. On this ac-
count It is not definitely known how,
many lives were lost. La Popa was
carrying troops from Cartagena to Bar
ranquilla and none of them was saved.
A warship which went down about
sixty miles from Port Savanilla, also
carried half million cartridges and Il
600 rifles. a loss which will be seriously
felt by the government The sinking Of
La Popa will also cripple the naval
fighting force, as Colombia recently sold
the Cordova, which was her largest
ship, and is now left with only one gum
boat. This is the Gen. Pinzon, formerly
the American steam yacht Namouna.

Grouj Of Famous Divines.
London, Sept. 4.-The Ecumenical
Methodist conference opened in Wes-
lley's chapel today with good attend
ance. In the devotional exercises King
Edward and President Mckinley were
prayed for. Bishop Joseph c. Hartsell,
missionary bishop in Africa, made the
opening prayer and Bishop Galloway,
of Jackson, Miss, preached and elo-
quent sermon. Communion followed.
The arch bishop of Canterbury, bishop
Fof London and Right Rev. Ingram sent
friendly messages.
The Ecumenical Methodist confer
.ence is meeting in the city road chapel
built by John Wesley IN 1850. It is
sometimes called the Cathedral of the
Methodists, and is filed with memorials
of all denominations tracing their or
igion to Wesley. The representation,
which is on a basis of about one dele
gate to 1000 members, gives the United
States and Canada 800 out, of the 500
delegates composing the council The
chairman will be changed daily, 80 that
all divisions representsd' swill have a
tchairmanship. For convenience In ar
ranging the business. the conference
was divided into eastern and western
sections. The eastern section, which
takes in all branches of English Meth
odists, together with affiliated confer
ences in Australia, South Africa and
West Indies, consits of 206 MEMBERS
The western section includes American
and Canadian Methodism. The United
States sent 129 representatives. among
them Bishops Hurst, Vincent, Hamil-
ton. Hartsell. Fitzgerald, Galloway,
Cranberry and Anderson. Though the
conference does not have legislative
and administrative power over
churches represented their policy will
probably be affected both directly and
indirectly by discussions on religious
and social problems that will come be-
fore it.
