COLOMBIA TROUBLES.
Also the Difficulties That Hedge
About Castro, the Vene.
.zuelan Dictator.
BOTH NATIONS IN THEIR ELEMENT
on the Edge of Foreign
War.

Colon, Aug. pa revolutionary
force of 1000 men has pushed its way
over the border from Colombia into
Venezuela. This force, it is said. is to
aid in the overthrow of President Cas-
tro When his downfall is accom-
plished. it is said, a similar plan will
be followed in Nicaragua. Trouble is
imminent on both the eastern and the
southern boundaries of Colombia.
Troops have been rushed in both di-
rections and the frontiers of Venezuela
and of Eucador are lined with armed
men ready to advance at n moments
notice.
Colombia Authorities Arc Warlike.
No secret is made of the threatening
attitude of the Columbian authorities.
They assert that the revolution here
has been enabled to continue only by
the aid of the liberal governments of
the neighboring republics, and that to
insure peace at home IT has become
necessary to inaugurate n war of for
eign conquest. 1t is assumed here that
Eucador would join with Venezuela in
any movement against COlOmbia-the
two liberal governments standing unit
ed against the conservative element in
control here and making counter
charges of interference with their af-
fairs and of fostering revolution.
Both Sides Are Right.
There seems little doubt that the
charges on both sides are well
founded. The liberals of one republic
have lent Il helping hand to their strlg-
Cling brethren in adjacent territory.
and the conservatives have retaliated
in kind. Colombia has, however. been
the chief sufferer, as her revolution al
ready has lasted nearly two years. 1t
is estimated that from $4,000 to 10000
lives already have been sacrificed, and
the end is not yet, as the Smoldering
emberSof revolt are coming into flame
in dozen sections simultaneously. and
the liberals do not hesitate TO announce
that they are preparing to deal final
blow.
Doing the Fabian Act.
The conservatives retaliated by de-
claring that they have vanquished ev-
cry army that has been collected. and
that there only remain Il few bush
whackerS who carry on SpaSmodic
guerrilla warfare. attacking corpOraIS
guards. fleeing from larger bodies. rob-
hing exposed stores and ranches and
pilla ging wayfarers.

governor of Sle department Of Panama.

uation i'm Colombia. said that the rebels
are lot of vaGabondS and that he was
certain the government would Subdue
the rebellion. He said that when he
left Panama a few days ago nothing
unusual was going on. He had not
heard anything of the Whereabouts of
General Uribe-Uribe.
Castro Has Troubles of His Own.
OF Colombia's relations with Nene-
zuela and her other liberal neighbors,
SenOr Duran said: Il do not believe
that Venezuela will go to war with Co
lombia. President Castro has enough
trouble at home. That Venezuelt
Eucador and Nicaragua have aided the
rebels in Colombia there is no doubt
Naturally. If the three countries should
unite in war against Colombia il
would be serious for us. but this will
hardly happen"

Jeffries proved the victor tonight over
Gus Rubin. the Akron giant, and thus
emphasized his right to the heavyweight
championship title.
In the fifth round Of what was to have
been a twenty-round struggle, Rubin
wilted and then surrendered to his peer,
to the utter amazement and disgust OF

No ono was more surprised at the out
come than Jeffries himself, who asserted
that while he had delivered one telling
blow In the second round, he did not e1-
pect 10 win the victory 30 easily. Rub
Inns sole explanation of the outcome Of
the fight is that he received chance
blow which utterly disabled him. and
that Jeffries persisted in fighting him
low. While Rubin will make no abso-
Lutte charge that Jeffries had committed
a foul, he intimated that he was unfairly
handled and injured as a result. Rub
lin receives the support Of his seconds,

result of this scare, the hardware sto, 60

stop to this reign Of assaults on unpro-
tected people and for this purpose has
