Spanish Papers Comment Only Briefly
Upon the Attempted Assassination.
Madrid September THE newspapers
here comment briefly upon the attempted
assassination Of President Mckinley. and
none Of them fail to remember that It was
under his administration that the war
with Spain took place.
The Globe ministeriast, says: "The
president, yielding to popular ambition,
wrought much Ill to Spain" But the pa
per condemns what it describes as a brutal
outrage.
The Imperial observes: at would he pre-
mature to pass Judgment upon the per
sonality Of the president and still more so
on his policy, but the day Is perhaps not
far distant when the United States will
see In him the primary cause of the deca-
dence of the North American Republic"
The Liberal protests against the crime,
Irrespective Of the injury done to Spain
by President Mckinley"
The Correspondence says: "If the Mon.
roe doctrine did not already exist there
would be the Mckinley doctrine His ad-
minlstration has been disastrous to Spain
The new imperialistc policy of the United
States will not die with Mr. Mckinley, for
Imperialism is nn idea rooted In the minds
of the American people"

Washington, September 7.-Dr Breccerra

The information reaching enc Colombian

expected to make a juncture at Rio Hacha
with a considerable force Of Colombian
rebels. But this force was dispersed ana
the town strongly garrisoned by govern

arrived at the port they failed to make
the expected juncture and instead found
the Colombian troops In possession. This,
