CHARGED WITH ROBBTNG
SAN FRANCISCO MINT
Warrant is Sworn Out for the Former Chief
Clerk Walter N. Demmick

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. s.-United
States Court Commissioner Heacock
has. upon the request of Secret Service
Agent George w. Hazen, issued a war
rant for the arrest of Walter n. Dim
mick, former chief clerk of the United
States mint in this city, charging him
with embezzling $4,000 in gold coin,
the loss of which was discovered early
last month.
Dimmick was chief clerk at the time
of the robbery, but was dismissed by
superintendent Leach recently. At a
late hour tonight Dimmick had not
been arrested.
Ever since July 4, when the discov-
cry was made that six sacks contain
ing 5000 were missing from the mint
vault, Dimmick has been a prominent
figure in the Investigation When Dim
mick was dismissed from the mint it
was stated by Superintendent Leach
that it was not on account Of the rob-
berry. but in pursuance of a decision
made before the robbery was discOv-
cred, and that the robbery prolonged
his retention.

Since his release from duty Dimmicl1
mas been under the surveillance Of the
secret service men, who have probed
into every detail of his private life in
this city and at his former home in
Santa Barbara. Dimmick was at one
time cashier of the mint, and was one
OF the four persons known to have had
access to the vault In a memorandum
book in his possession the secret serv-
ice men found that he noted the COM
bination to the upper lock of the vault
door. This is something that it was
thought Cashier Cole alone knew.
An expert found that the time lock
was not working, and as a result a
person who had the cOmbinatio could
open the vault at any time during the
day or night To the officers Dimmick
admitted working at the mint as late
as II o'clock at night.
In addition to being accused Of en-
bezzling $4,000. Dimmick is accused by
superintendent Leach of embeZzling
various sums aggregating nearly 5000
These sums were afterward replaced
when his quarterly accounts were
made UP.

WAR CLOUD TOWERING
OVER CENTRAL AMERICA
Bloody Clash Between Colombia and Venezuela Nav
Come at Any Time.
Situation IS Complicated by Revolutions Outbreaks in
Both the Republics

Washington, Aug. 9.-The situation
IN Colombia and Venezuela continued
TO occupy much Of the attention Of the
officials here today, and while it was
nos felt that affairs had reached a seri-
Gus aspect, yet it was appreciated thar
both the official and unofficial advices
Indicated a condition of affairs which
might mean war between Colombia
ana Venezuela, complicated by revolu-
u1nary outbreaks in both countries
During the day the state department
received a lengthy mail communication
from Consul General GUdger of Pan
ANA, and though this was dated nearly
month ago, it told of the landing of
a revolutionary expedition. and ex-
pressed the current belief held at Pan
ana that this would be followed by
other expeditions.
The department also received a let
Ter from j. Edward Simmons of New
York president Of the Panama Rail-
road company confirming his cOmmu-
ulCatl0n Of yesterday relative TO the
trouble on the IsthmuS, aid stating
that the superintendent Of the road
had advised him as to the depTedatiOns
of an insurgent band, which did not
number, however, much over fifty
men.
The more serious aspect of the mat
ter was presented in the press dis
patches from Willemstad, stating that
C0lombians again had invaded Ven
eZuela. There was no official COnfirma-
ton as 20 this, but IL it should prove
correct there seems little chance of
avoiding an open conflict between these
two countries as such an invasion by
Colombia would be in itself an act Of
war.
But the authorities here prefer to
take a conservative view of the stu
alton until official advices are in hand.
When inquiry was made as to why our
officials at BOgota and elsewhere did
not send fun information on the sub
Ject it was stated that these officials
We're lot the" to communicate news. /

Waiting For News.

/ The Colombian minister Of war is
General Gonzales Valencia, who has a
/ good record as fighter, and has rem
/ dered distinguished services during the
guerrilla warfare Of a year past. and
Mr.. Herran thought il quite likely that
he had been called upon to lead the
army of Colombia Mr.. Herran is e1-
pecting almost hourly to hear from the
Colombian consul general a New York
and also hopes for some news to shed
light on the situation on the isthmus
from the incoming Colombian mail,
which IS expected soon to arrive.
Mr.. Herran discussed generally the
ability Of Colombia to cope with an ac-
tual war with Venezuela. He pointed
cut that Colombia has a population Of
5OOG.GOO against the 100000 of Ven
ezueia, and an army of about 10000
men, who have been for the most part
IN active service against revolutionary
bands Tor the last year. He expressed
his earnest hope that a condition of
actual war would not result from the
present troubles, but believed his coun-
try to be fully able TO take care o.
herself in that emergency.
As Iar as known, neither OF the gov
eTcmeEts involved has addressed the
United states government concerning
the troubles Of the iSthmuS nor has
there been any occasion for this gov
eminent to address either of them in
reference to the difficulty. If traffic on
the isthmus should be stopped il prob
ably would bring about an inquiry by
the United States government TO the
government OF Colombia as to the abiI-
lty of the latter to cope with the stu
alton, for the primary duty is on Co
lombia, and only when she fails Will
the United States step in. When a sim
liar trouble arose in 1885, the United
states did not act until the Colombian
government requested action, making it
plain that the trouble had got beyond
the power of it's authorities

be sent out as well d a method OF caus-
ing more general uprising among the
liberals along the isthmus. The consul
general does not know whether affairs
on the lsthmuS VIII become serious. buc
is Of the opinion if that there should
be armed forces present as there was
year ago, personal and property rights
would be in danger
The Colombian legation had no news
today to confirm the press report of a
new Colombian invasion at Venezuela.
Mr.. Herran, the first secretary of the
legation, who is in charge during DR..
Silva S absence, said the point at which
an invasion is now feared is near the
border land in the vicinity of Meta
river, south of the lake of MaracaibO.

That prohibition drinks" are popu-

the report that two more places are to
be opened for the sale of liquids that
do not come under the ban, but still
are very popular among the thirsty
who abhor water as beverage. This
is known as amber, hoptenweiss etc. !,
and the assertion is made that it is
non intoxicating. Several places have

there will be two others, one on Lamar
