COLON, Colombia, Dec. 27.-News.
papers Just received here from coast
towns in Colombia and Venezuela have
much to say concerning the present
status of the Venezuelan Colombian
imbrOglio. The glst of these various
newspaper articles is to the effect that
each republic Is still recrimnating

etc, and the actual invasion Of the 9TH

laws governing the relations Of friend

no news of declaration of war by Ell

forth that the policy Of Colombia Is
one Of readiness to meet any emergen-
cy; hence she will make continued eff

warships at sen. 10 this end Admiral
Bradford of the bureau Of equipment
has asked that the armored vessels Of
the Pennsylvania class have their
masts and rigging SO arranged that the
wireless system can be introduced.
This will necessitate the lengthening
of the masts of the ships and the in
sulation of the metal rigging by the
use of hemp covering for halyards. 1t

now being operated. These include the
Marconi system. Thus far, however,
the navy department has not adopted

as a preliminary to the adoption Of a
system whenever its practicsbility is

GOVERNOR ROGERS DEAD.
Head Of State of Washington Yields
to Long Illness.


OLYMPIA. Wash, Dec. 27,Govern-
or Rogers died at o'clock last night.
Governor Rogers was taken sick last
Friday evening with cold which de-
veloped into pneumonia. On Sunday
his condition was such as to alarm his
friends, but on Monday afternoon the
governor was much better, and 1t was
thought all danger had been passed. A
consultation of physicians was held.
and 1t developed that the patient WAS
progressing as well as could be expect
ed. 1t was announced on Tuesday that
the governor was suffering from lObar
pneumonia. The disease was then To-
Gated In the middle lobe of the right
lung. 1t was impossible to say until
Wednesday was passed whether the
disease would spread. Favorable symp-
toms continued, but early yesterday
the governor was suddenly taken
worse.
John Il. Rogers was born Sept. 4.
1898, at Brunswick. Me. He enjoyed
good educational facilities. but left
home at an early age to learn the drug
business In Boston. He went to the
state Of Mississippi in 1856, where some
years were passed as a druggist. Dur
ing the late war he lived in southern
Illinois. where he taught school, finally
buying farm and becoming farmer.
As az his relatives were Democrats
and southern sympathizers, he quite
naturally held the same views. In 1870
he returned to his native town and the
drug business. In 1876 he went to Kan
sas. again becoming farmer. He was
elected to a number of minor offices as
a Greenback Republican. In 1887 he
established the Kansas Commoner.
and was its editor for three years.
In 1890 he went 10 Puyallup. Wash,
where he has since resided and has
been engaged In the real estate and
business. He was elected
governor In 1896 and was serving his
second term.
