COLOMBIAN INSURGENTS,
Shipment Of Arms and Munitions of
War Stopped.

The Colombian government has been ex-
ercised for some time by reports that the
United States was being made the base
for the shipment Of arms and ammunition
to the insurgent bands operating near Pan
ANA. In order to meet this condition Senior
E. 1saza was recently sent here as a COM
missioner for the Colombian government
to confer with the minister and take any
steps necessary to prevent such traffic
The State Department readily cooperate ed
in preventing an abuse of our neutrality
laws, and detectives were sent to New
York and other points along the Atlantic
coast to put stop to the shipments At
the same time Senior Isaza was commits
stoned to stop the payment of drafts sent to
the United States and Germany for the
purpose Of purchasing insurgent arms and
supplies. Senior Isaza spent some time
here and is now in New York, his mission
having proved successful in removing all
further apprehension of shipments of mu-
nitions Of war from this country. In the
course of the 1nsurrection 1t appears that
some Of the wealthy residents of captured
towns have been placed under tribute tn
large sums, the amounts then being sent
north for the purchase Of additional sup
plies. Drafts amounting to about $40 600
were stopped through the intervention of
Senior IsaZa, and it is said this has cut off
one of the chief financial reliances of the
insurgents. q
Reports recently received here state that
two of the leading insurgent generals,
Ihanez and Ulloa, have been captured by
leaders and their rebellious followers have

PORTO Rfps GOVERNMENT
GOV. ALLEN OPPOSED TO ADOPTING
TERRITORIAL FORM.
Favors the Scheme of Colonial Ad-
mfnistratiOn in Vogue in the
West Indies.

Gov. Charles H. Allen of Porto Rico has
presented to the President, through the
State Department, his first annual report
as the civil ruler of the little American
island. The governor prefaces his report
with an appropriate review of the events
following the landing of the American
army of occupation in July, 1885, describes
the transition period from military to civil
rule, and then enters upon the story of
what years civil rule has brought forth
in Porto Rico.
HIS most interesting utterances, however,
are with regard to the islands future.
Naturally the first question which arises in
this respect is with regard to the form of
government. The governor believes that a
scheme of colonial administration, such as
| is followed by the Danish, French and En-
gl1sh West Indies, might be safely insti-
tuted with variations dependent upon the
future policy of the home government. The
governor refers too the many suggestions
offered that the form of territorial govern
ment adopted in the United States be ap-
piled to Porto Rico, but points out that a
useful in the United States, would not ap-
ply successfully to this island possession.
he calls attention to the fact that, while
IN such close proximity to the United
States. Porto Rico has been a comparative
ly unknown island to Americans
Il feel, the result of a years close
stuuy on the spot says Gov Allen, OF
all the conditions surrounding the prob
lem that Congress went quite as far as
1t could safely venture in the form of gov
eminent already existing on the island. and
as the result of such experience and OBJ
servation l full believe, with good men de-
voted to the work, the island will develop
faster under such form, it's people through
experience and education will advance more
rapidly in their knowledge of civic virtues
under guidance of present methods than
could be gained in any other way
The governor speaks plainly in presenting
the reason why this island has been at
practical standstil for nearly four CEN
turtles, and says that in climate where "a
man can lie in hammock. pick a banana
with one hand and dig sweet potato with
one foot, the incentive to idleness Is easy
to yield to and brings it's inevitable conse-
quences.'
In conclusion Mr.. Allen urges the intro
duction of fresh blood and Anglo-Saxon
push and energy as the means of lifting
the little island out of it's lethargy, and,
by thrift and industry develop it's riches
to their fullest measure Before closing
the governor takes occasion to gratefully
| acknowledge the hearty cooperation of
each of his constitutional advisers and SUBJ
ordinates.

FORGED AN OFFICERS NAME.
Charges Against Clerk c. c. Lawrence
at Manila.

dispatch from Manila yesterday says:
+. c. Lawrence, formerly a private In
the 33d Volunteer Infantry, and afterward
employed as a civilian clerk in the adju-
tant generals office at Manila, has been
accused of forging the signature Of Capt
Slavens, the insular disbursing officer, to
Gen. Macarthur. On the backs of the
checks were forged Endorsements of Cen
Macarthur to Gen. Shafter and to E. c.
Lawrence. Two of these checks. of 500
each, have been cashed at San Francisco
been returned to Manila. and pronounced
spurious by Capt Slavens. Lawrence is
suspected Of other forgeries.
The insurgents today made unSuc-
cessful attack upon the village of Nacar-
tan, in Laguna province. A private of the
Sth Infantry was killed in the enga cement
The official report Of the recent engage
ment near PASSAGE, in South Camarines
province, says that three American soldiers
were killed and one native scout was cap
tured.
Gen. Macarthur has ordered reports from
all the civil departments preparatory to
his own final report.
The commission has prepared bill to
create a new weather bureau. This bill
practically continues and subsidies the
present Jesuit observatory In Manila. This
bureau has always been competently ad-
Spanish government. and was later flnan-
cially assisted by the American military
authorities. The professor In charge of
this bureau will be appointed the new d.
rector thereof at salary of s., 500 year.
The director will make all appointments
to the auxiliary weather bureaus through
out the archipelago subject to the civil
service regulations.

FILLING THE GUARDHOUSE,
An Officers View of the Abolition of
the Army Canteen.

An Officers View of the Abolition of
the Army Canteen.
Among numerous communications re-
ceived at the War Department, not only
from officers of the army, but also from
the clergy, nj reference to the abolition of
the army canteen, is one from an army Of
ficer at Fort Smelling, Mimi, in which the
writer says that the discontinuance of the
canteen at the post named has resulted in
deplOrable condition of affairs. The guard
house is full, he says, assertions are more
frequent, and trouble of all kinds has come
upon the officers in command, the police
and the citizens Of ST. Paul and Minneap-
oils.
Never in the history of the Sth Regi-
ment," says the officer in question, have
the officers had so much trouble with in
toxicated soldiers as since the army can
teen was abolished. Just at present out
of two companies at Fort Smelling, ten
men are serving time in the guardhouse
for intoxication. These are only the most
vicious cases, as the command here is so
small now that to put all offenders in the
guardhouse would leave hardly enough SOL
diers outside to guard them. Before the
soldiers were obliged to go outside the fort
for their drinks the number in the guard
house was seldom over three for the en-
tire regiment of 1000 men.
THE soldiers now have to go across the
Mississippi or to ST. Paul or Minneapolis
for their intoxicants. At Smelling, on the
opposite side of the river there are half
a dozen saloons that have been doing a
thriving business since the canteen was
abolished. but the men Of the army are not
welcomed in the city, even at the saloons
However, they will come and six out of
ten find lodging at the police station after
they have spent all their money In drink
For the department of the soldiers 1t is
the worst change we have had to contend
with since entered the army, and 1 feel
confident, from the complete failure of the
plan everywhere, that 1t will be changed
back to the old way as soon as it can
possibly be DONE
The officer refers to two cases in particu-
lar. He says: "One Of these boys was as
good sergeant there is in the regi-
ment; now he Is a private with fine of
$50 to pay, all due to a spree last week in
the city The other was reduced from a
corporal for the same reason,

MAYOR JOHNSON AFTER RAILROADS.
Seeks to Force County Auditors to
Raise Assessments.

nalSe assessments.
Upon application of Mayor Johnson Of
Cleveland, Judge Strimple Of the common
pleas court in that city yesterday issued a
writ Of mandamus compelling some eight
nine county auditors, now sitting in
that city as a railroad tax assessment
board, to call in railway officials to testify
as to the true value of their properties.
Mayor Johnson declares that the railroads
have thus far been assessed at from ~ to
Is per cent of their value, while the other
property owners in Cleveland have been
taxed at the rate of GO per cent or more
The mayor averred in his petition that the
auditors were corruptly influenced by IA
vors to them by the railroad companies to
influence their decision and avoided the
making of true and correct appraisements
The Cleveland. Lorain and Wheeling was
the railroad under consideration by the
auditors today. Before the writ was
served on the auditors they had assessed
the road, although the mayor notified them
Of the courts action. The mayor holds as
result, that the action of the board is
illegal. and says he will now ask for an
injunction prohibiting the clerk from plac-
ing the assessment of the road on record.

Death From Diabetes.


The death of Gen. FItz John Porter, al
though it occurred with little immediate
warning, was not unexpected by his
friends.
The disease from which he suffered is
we'll known to be intractable to treatment,
and an ultimately fatal issue is always to
be expected in a patient advanced in years.
Diabetes in itself is ailment having
it's inception in perverted nutrition and in
progressive destruction Of tissue elements
The degree of the latter is generally in
Dictated by the quantity Of sugar excreted,
and. notwithstanding dietary regulations
oftentimes extremely burdensome to the
patient-the ailment often surely and stead
lily progresses to the end.
The real cause of the malady Is not vet
thoroughly understood, although the first
symptoms usually follow severe nervous
strain and persistent overwork. Hence the
malady is a very common one with brain
workers in all walks Of life and seldom de-
clares itself before full adult age.
Death is usually preceded by coma, caus-
ed by watery effusion on the brain surface
