COLOMBIAN FEDERALS HAVE NO
PRESENT INTENTION OF IN
VADING VENEZUELA
LIBERAL ARMY NEEDS ARMS
With Them, Says a Traveller From
BOgOta, the RevOIutiOnists
Could Overthrow the
Government
RUMoR OF URIBE's DEFEAT

WILLEMSTAD, Oct. 10.-A civil en-
gineer who has just arrived here on his
way to Caracas, from Bogota, which he
left Sept Z, asserts that up to the time
of his departure there was very little
talk in Bogota of war with Venezuela.
The members of the cabinet and high
officials there did not seem to consider
war imminent. They appeared to be
more deeply concerned with the rev
olution and with their efforts TO put it
down. One of the members of the
cabinet admitted to the engineer that
the Tachira invasion and the enga cement
in July under Gen. Rangel Garbiras
were mistakes on the part of Colombia
and regrettable.
In the opinion of the engineer the
Liberal movement was strong through
out the entire country, only needing
ammunition to succeed. He describes
the influence of the priests in Colombia
as extreme and detrimental to the coun-
try. According to his statement ex-
change and national bank notes were
rapidly rising when he left.
In his judgment Colombia will never
declare war, nor will she again attack
Venezuela, having too many home
troubles to be able to afford to do So
A fair estimate of the Colombia forces
would be, he thinks, 5000 on the Santan-
der frontier, 1880 at La Hacha, 300 at
Santa Martha and 700 at Barnaquilla.

try, the roads have been made impassa-
bic and considerable stock was drowned.

IS EDITOR OF LIBERTAIRE
'tLOng Live Anarchy" Shout His
Friends as Judgment Is An
nOunced-Advocated Whole
sale Murder.

PARIS, Oct. 10.-Laurent Tailhade edi-
tor of Libertaire, the anarchist sheet.
was today tried before the correctional
police tribunal for the article he pub
Hshed in Libertaire during the visit of
emperor Nicholas to France, melting to
the murder of the czar, President Loubet
and the French ministers as .'tyrants
and oppressors of the people, He was
sentenced to imprisonment for one wear
and to a fine of LOCO francs
M. Grandidier, manager of Liberta1re,
was sentenced to imprisonment for six
months and to fine of 100 francs.
The announcement of the judgment was
followed by an ovation to Tailhade on
the part of his friends, who shouted as
they crowded around and shook him by
the hand, Down with tyrants," Down
with tigers and Long live anarchy
After vainly en6eavoring to restore
order the judge directed the police to
clear the court
PRAISED BY ZOLA
Tlilhade is an inveterate anarchist
although man of great literary tai Mt
to which NJ. Zola and several other we'll
known men of letters paid high tributes
in court today. He is particularly famous
for the article he wrote at the time OF
the valiant outrage in the chamber of
deputies in which he spoke of the throw
ing of the bomb as "a beautiful gesture"
liz was Hiulse4l injured subsequently by
an anarchist explosion in the foyer of
restaurant where he was quietly dining;
and the newspapers then sarcastically
asked him if he still found bomb throw
ing beautiful gesture. The injury he
then received, however, did not weaken
his convictions and he has continued to
! express the most violent opinions in vari-
Gus anarchist sheets, although in such
poetical style that NJ Zola has de-
clared them harmless because uninteli-
gible to the ordinary public

other Talks of War
NEW YORK, Oct 1O.-A dispatch from
La Guayra, Venezuela, to the Tribune,
dated Oct 8, says that Venezuela is plan
ming another invasion of Colon bia.
Troops are being organized at Maracaibo
under the command of Gen. Vicente G.
Sanchez, commanding the Venezuelan
garrison in that city. The intention seems
to be to land an expedition of about
3,e00 men at Pajare, near the port of
Rio Hacha. Castro is determined to cap
ture Rio Hacha at any cost as a basis
for operations upon Ocana and the Co
lombian coast.
Information received here from trust
worthy sources tells of serious uprisings
against Castro at Barquismoto. Carabo-
bo, Falcon and Oriente. Other revolu-
tionary movements are expected Be-
cause of these conditions it is believed
Castro will be compelled to abandon his
aggressive and disastrous policy.
THE OTHER SIDE.
CARACAS, Venezuela, Oct. 1O.-via
Haytien Cable 1.-The correspondent here
of the Associated Press is enabled to say
upon excellent grounds that the idea OF
peaceful, friendly and conclusive ar
ranSement between Venezuela and Co
Iombia Of the existing trouble is not re-
pulsive, not foreign to Venezuela, it be-
ing always understood that Venezuela's 8
national honor will in no way suffer
thereby, and that during the past fort
night this idea has grown and has Sc
cured increased growth in Caracas. Ven
ezuela recognizes the fact that the main
tenance of large army on the frontier
is exceedingly costly, without directly
| benefiting the country. On the contrary.
these heavy expenditures are most un-
fortunate, and the present conditions be-
ing on the verge Of war is dstinctively
detrimental to commerce and to the
country's we'll being. Along the frontier,
from Tachira to Guajira, the Venezuelan
army has protected the occupied posi-
tions by entrenching and Strengthening
them, in which the troops will await at
tack, having orders to remain firmly on
! the defensive and not to adopt measures
of aggression, but to repel invasion.
The frontier situation is dangerous.

viuing neutral zone, are confronting each

accident or a minor, unintended engage
ment, might precipitate bloody en-
counter.
