Colon, Colombia, September IS, via Gal veston-General Alban, the commander in-chief of the Colombian forces. in an interview today regarding the statement which General Torres Cardenas, the gen. eral secretary of Venezuela, telegraphed to the Associated Press from Caracas Au- gust IT. in behalf of President Castro, said:
 "President Castro has published on diff ferent occasions statements declaring that Colombia provoked the situation now all but war between the two republics, President Castro who has several times set fire to our country and sown the seeds of revolution, now cries to the whole world, 'Voila, messieurs.' It is Colombia who desires to enter and burn my house. I have done nothing to her, though my soldiers and my battalions entered her territory and thousands of my troops have been slain in battle, while abetting her rebels cause. I have done nothing to her, though I gave them arms and newspapers in which to publish what they desired. I have done nothing to her. though 1t was I who summoned General Uribe-Uribe from the United States ex- pressly to prepare another invasion of her territory. It is not likely that his army, consisting of fifteen hundred troops. which I supplemented by men, arms and munitions of war, when near the from tier and ready to penetrate into Colom- ba, met with signal defeat at the hands of the forces under Rangel Garbidras. It was I who recently addressed the follow ing telegram to the government of the state of Zubia, which, after having been found In portfolio belonging to General Socraltras, who was slain at the battle of Goagira, Colombia, now triumphantly published. The telegram read: General Davila shortly leaves with a thousand men, ammunition, artillery and steamers destined for Rio Hacha to reinforce the expedition under General Castillo"
 "'What harm, cries innocent Castro, is there in all this?
 General Alban added:
 Colombia and her government have nothing to fear from the people of Venez- uela, who are opposed to war and strong ly condemn Castro's aggressive policy" captured at the battle of Goagria, who were all Venezuelans, who said they had been torn from their homes and forced to fight against Colombia under penalty of being clubbed to death.

Jones of Montgomery, Walker of Madison and Weatherly of Jef- ferson was appointed to draft the address. This address was submitted today, and all present agreed to it, but the failure of Coleman of Green, Weatherly of Jeff erson and Espy of Henry to be present caused the committee to withhold the ad- dress. It will probably be given out In Bir- mingharn tomorrow. Political talk has been rife here today

 There were special railroad rates to the Odd Fellows Home at Greensburg, and many visiting members of the fraternity took advantage of the opportunity to visit the institution.

Each day will have its own special attractions and the entertainment features will keep up until Saturday.

Nothing Is known of what transpired further than what was given out by Thompson. He claims that McCowan as- saulted him and that he shot him in self defense.

STEEL STRIKE IS OVER
 WITH MANY DISPLEASED
All the Mills Are Resumng Regular Work Except the Tin Plate Mills Where the Men are Dissatisfied With Shaffer's
 Action and Propose to Continue Strike

Pittsburg, Pa, September 1S.-The steel strike is practically over at all the mills in this district but the tin plate plants. All the tin workers are still dissatisfied and refuse to go to work pending further information from the Amalgamated off, cials. All the mills at McKeesport, ex- eept the Boston Rolling Works, were run ming nearly full today, and the same con- ditions prevailed in this city at Painters, Lindsay and McCutcheons and the Clark plants. The Amalgamated head quarters were almost deserted today. President Shaffer was absent, and 1t was stated that the strain of the last few days had affected his health, forcing him to a rest.
 At a meeting of striking tin workers
The age-herald., 1901-09-19

from the Star and the Monongahela plants, at which 800 were present, 1t was decided by unanimous vote to repudiate the New York agreement and continue the strike indefinitely. Failing to hear from President Shaffer on the terms of the settlement, representatives of the two lodges conferred with J. R. Phillips, dis trict manager for the American Tin Plate Company. The terms offered by MT. Phillips. the men claim, mean a big re- duction in tonnage rates, while the out put is greatly increased. This is accom- plished by putting the two plants on the Monessen system, which provides for double crew of the skilled men for two mills, instead of single crews for each. The men will continue the strike against this reduction.
