CASTRO MAY FORCE WAR.
IL Is Feared the President of Vene-
zueIa VIII Bring ON Conflict
with Colombia.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, Aug. 3d.
In consequence of the resignation of
Senior Pulido, minister Of war. it is
feared that President Castro, of Ven
ezuela as proposed to the cabinet,
will declare war against Colombia,
notwithstanding public opinion
against such move.
The president, it is understood,
suggested that passports be handed
to the minister from Colombia.
1t is feared the most serious com
pfications will follow the present
situation. .....
Washington, Aug. "A cablegram
has been received at the state DEPART
ment from the United States consul
at Colon stating that if the present
revolutionary troubles in that Sec
ton become more aggravated the traf-
fic across the isthmus will surely be-
come interrupted. The United States
government is bound by treaty to
keep this traffic open to the world. No
request for warship to be sent to the
scene of trouble has been made.
Caracas, Venezuela, Aug. 3.-The
Venezuelan government reports that
the revolutionists have been defeated
near San Cristobal.
San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug. g.
Mail advices received here from
Venezuela and Colombia say the CEN
sored cablegrams which the Venezue-
Ian government allows press CORE
spondents to forward from Caracas
are inaccurate. Castro's army, it is
added, does not exceed 5000 soldiers.
Gen! Uribe-Uribe is reported to
be a months march. from Bogota,
the capital of Colombia, with less
than 1900 men.
Battles are said to be imminent.
The Venezuelan revolutionists are at
San Cristobal and the Colombian rev.
olutionists were at Cucuta when the
mail advices were forwarded.

BOERS IN CAPE COLONY.
War May BE Fired in That
District.

London, Aug. 3.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Mail, in a
communicate ton dated July II, places
the strength of the Beers in Cape Col
ony between 1000 and 5000 men, al
most all of whom are rebels. The
Daily Mail contrasts this with the Off
cial statement not long ago that there
were only 1000. "The colonial au-
thorities," the correspondent con-
tinues, "have just awakened to the pos
sibility that the last shot of the war
may be fred in Cape Colony, and unless
vigorous efforts are put forth there is
nothing to prevent the Beers from
holding out another IL months" A
communication to the Daily Express
of the same date says that the Boer
plan is to make final stand south of
The Orange river, and that they may
hold out for six months.

London, Aug. 3.-From interviews
withtagents of the various trans-Atlan-
tic steamship lines, the Daily Mail
draws the following conclusions: "Vis-
itors from America this year are as
numerous as ever before; but, APP
parently, as the American tourist in
creases in number, he increases also
in thriftiness. Cabmen, porters and
hotel servants are one in declaring that
the Americans are the least remuner-
ative of their clients. This establishes
a new reputation for the American
abroad"

LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
400 Business Houses Springs
Up Within "A Night.

Fort Sill, Okla, Aag. "a town of
10000 people, to be known as Lawton,
has grown up just outside the fort
limits, within night. Following the
close Of the land lottery Thursday at
FL Reno, thousands of homeseekers
who drew blanks started for the three
points picked out by the federal gov
eminent for town sites in the new
country, namely, Anadarko, Hobart
and Lawton. A majority of the people
favored LawtOn, which is 25 miles in
land, and now thousands are camped
in and about the proposed town site
awaiting the sale of lots on August 6.
Already Lawton has 400 temporary
business houses, including a grocery
firm and a newspaper, and three
streets have been laid out. A national
bank has been projected. Every form
of gambling known on the frontier is
being run wide open, side by side with
fake shows of various descriptions,
and to add to the picturesque scene a
thousand Comanche Indians have
pitched their tents near by.

The reason given for the substitu-

The Finish.

Then came the great trial, for as
Cresceus turned into the stretch, the
bitter wind beat him in the face and
held him back by force. For the frac-
ton of a second he seemed to falter,
but his drivers voice was in his ears,
and on he came. With that indonita-
Bile courage which makes him what
he is, he plunged in toward the finish
with unweakened stride, and, in spite
of WEAKNESS and the buffeting of the
breeze, flashed under the wire a win
ner against time. But for the wind
against which Cresceus struggled, it
is believed that his time would have
been a second faster. 1t was the
most wonderful mile ever trotted on
any track

MOB TAKES REVENGE
Young Tennesseean Brings Lynch
ing Upon Himself.

.
Smithyille, Tenn, Aug. 3.-The first
lynching in the annals of DeKalb
county took place Friday morning
when Charley Davis, who was charged
with criminal assault on Miss Kate
Hues, was taken from the courthouse
by a mob of about 25 friends and rela-
tives of the young lady and hanged
about quarter of mile from town.
The assault on Miss Hues was commit
ted last Sunday evening, and Monday
morning Davis was taken before a
magistrate. He submitted his case
and the trial was set for Friday. Court
had met and the trial begun when the
defendant introduced witnesses to
attack the girls character. The father
had said that he would not join or al
low any violent measures unless this
action was taken by the defendant.
When the witness began to give his
testimony the friends and relatives of
the girl arose and made for the pris-
oner.
For a time there were wild scenes,
and the people were greatly excited.
The prisoner made an effort to escape
by jumping from the two-story win
dow of the courtroom. Several pistol
shots were fred in the crowd, and
Davis was captured before he could
jump. The sheriff and one of his depu-
ties and a constable, who were trying
to prevent the lynching, together with
the father of the defendant, were Sc
verely injured in clash with the mob.
The wounded officers are: Sheriff ]. T.
odum, Deputy Bob Odum and Con-
stable Nancy Pass.
Milton Hues, the father of the VIC
tim, is a prominent grocer in Smith
Vile, and the mob was composed al
most entirely of his relatives and
friends. There were about rs men in
the mob. After the execution of
Davis the mob dispersed, and while ex-
element is high, there is no danger of
further trOublP
