VENEZUELA AND COLOMBIA.
Cause of the Present Trouble and
Our Relation to 1t.

Cause of the Present Trouble and
Our Relation to 1t.
Three American warships have been
ordered to the Isthmus Of Panama
one Of them. the Iowa. being a battle
ship of the first class. The relations
between the republics Of Venezuela
and Colombia have reached a point at
which there Is a possibility Of war be-
tween these countries. President Cas-
tro. of Venezuela. in an elaborate state
ment cabled from Caracas on Satur-
day, charges that "the Conservatives
of Colombia. probably led by ruinous
and wicked passions, have resolved to
protect and assist in revolutionary
movement against Venezuela and her
government" 1t appears, according TO
the statement of President Castro. that
the frontier Of Venezuela has been In
yaded by revoutionists from Colom-
bia on two occasions recently, but that
the invaders were "victoriously expell-
ed by the government Of Venezuela ~
President Castro explains that these
invasions are not regarded by his gov
ernment "as an international attack by
the people of Colombia upon the peo-
ple of Venezuela but as the
work of the Conservative government
of Colombia against the majesty or
the nation Of Venezuela"
American warships have been sent
to Panama for a double purpose. In
the event Of war between Venezuela
and Colombia, Americans who have
interests in these countries and in the
Isthmus of Panama, which Is includ-
ed in the republic of Colombia, might
need protection. The presence of our
warships would be guarantee that
these interests would not suffer. A
French cruiser has been at Colon for
several days. and was probably order
ed there to afford protection to French
men who own property and carry on
business on the Isthmus. 1t is not a
violation of the Monroe doctrine for
European governments to send war
ships to South America to protect the
lives of their subjects. Europe has
rights under the practices of interna-
tional law which the United States is
compelled to recognize. If the lives OF
Americans or their property were
threatened in any European country
by the existence Of condition of an
archy or by the acts Of revolutionists
send warships to care for American In
Sem warships to care for American In
tercsts. AS long as France and Ger
many or any other powers do not in
terfere with the political institutions
of South America or intervene for
purposes of conquest or territorial ag-
grandizement, they have as much
right to send warships to South Amer
lea as the United States. This fact Is
as well understood in Washington as it
is in Berlin and Paris. The Berlin Post,
which frequently expresses the views
of the German government, states that
Germany has no political interests In
the Isthmus of Panama to defend.
German subjects, it adds, have impor-
tant financial and business interests
which demand adequate protection and

AS SEEN IN COLUMBIA.
After investigation, Editor Garling-

After Investigation, Editor CARING
ton Writes of the Political Situa-
tion.
Editor Darlington, Of the Spartan
burg Herald, has been in Columbia
this week. It quickly became evident
to him that Columbia Is the political
center of the state, so he kept his eyes
open and learned a thing or two. He
says the senatorial race is all the talk
in Columbia, and while nobody seems
able to tell why the race should begin
year in advance; but since 1t Is on,
speculation Is rife as to the probable
fate Of the candidates" Cutting down
to details he writes his paper as fol-
lows:
1T is generally thought that John
]. Hemphill, Esq, will not figure to
any great extent in the fight. He has
given up his residence so long in this
state that he has lost touch with the
people. His career as a lobby lawyer
in Washington is much against him.
1T is thought that Col. Willie Jones
will muster the full strength Of the
Spanish American survivors; but not
much more. He Is popular, in a way,
all over the state; but in this contest
1t Is realized that mere personal popu-
larity amounts to but little. He is not
aggressive and, while he stands in to
a certain degree with the powers that
be- he is nobody's candidate and will
be chagrined at his small vote.
congressman Latimer and John
Gary Evans are supposed to be run
ming neck and neck for Tillman's ia
vor. The general opinion Is that at the
wind-up neither will have his support.
Senator Tillman is pitting his whole
strength in this fight and he Is not in
dulging in any maudlin sympathy.
He and Candidate d. S. Henderson are
known to be close together. 1t is
thought that there will be an interest
ing understanding between them and
that the second race will be run be-
tween McLaurin and Henderson. The
Aiken man is cear-headed, clean and
has no damaging record in politics.
He was formerly a Conservative and
all of these elements are recognized by
Senator Tillman. He will draw more
from McLaurin than any Of the other
candidates, and it is freely predicted
on all sides that he will run the second
race with McLaurin.
THE opinion seems to prevail that
Tillman Is merely coquetting with Lat
inner. He is using the Bolton states
man as a sort of stalking horse, to
throw the public off their guard. He
knows that Latimer has not the ghost
of a show for being elected, and by pre-
tending to support him he hopes to
conceal his real condition. That Sen
ator Tillman will use his fine Italian

ton, and making ready for whatever

tion. and making ready for whatever
may happen.
It Is but natural to suppose that he
has been kept fully informed Of events
in South America and China. and may
think he sees an opportunity to obtain
from the British government some of
the concessions for which he vain'v
sued at the time Of his sons visit to
England few years ago. He may be
presumed not to be entirely unac-
quainted with the condition Of things
in India, and the recent marriage of
one of his sons with the daughter of
one Of the leading Mussulmans Of the
Punjab has been the occasion Of much
going to and fro between Kabul and
India even as far as Calcutta. Still,
the attitude of the Ameer Is not nee
essarily an aggressive one, even though
he has entered into some agreement
with Russia. Should the latter be con-
templating action in eastern Persia or
in the Persian Gulf that would bring
on a conflict with England, the Ameer
may be merely preparing to defend his
neutrality against a British army try
ing to march through his territory by
way Of Kandahar into eastern Persia.
But there is another view Of the sit
uation. It Is known that the Ameer
has always resented the arrangements
regarding his eastern frontier which
were imposed on him after his acces-
sion to the sovereignty and that he Is
unwillingly neutral In the conflicts be-
tween the British and the frontier
tribes. At the present moment there is
practically a war on between the for
mer and the Wariris, and the area of
conflict might be almost indefinitely
necessary encouragement in the shape
Of arms and ammunition. The last i'm
portant frontier campaign, that OF
Tirah, was carried on over but small
area. yet Sir w. Lockhart had to con-
centrate twenty-five thousand men and
seventy-flve thousand camels, mules
and ponies, and then never got more
than fifty miles from his base to which
he was glad to get back after eight
weeks hard fighting. in which he lost
heavily in men and transport animals
Since then very considerable change
has come over things in India. British
prestige has suffered as a result Of the
Boer war, famine and plague are res
ponsible for widespread discomfort
among the Indian people with their
rulers. and there is not on the part OF
the latter the same confidence there
was in the fidelity Of the native army.
This has been conspicuous in the vacil-
lation Of the British government in the
matter Of the rearmament Of the native
regiments which at all times have a
weapon inferior to that Of the British
troops. It is several months back that
the issue Of rifle superior to the Mar
TIM to the native troops was decided
on: then 1t was countermanded. Sub
SeuutUlly tnc IS" lluSS NClC GU ~
be given only to certain regiments: but
no final decision has been arrived at
for general rearmament. All this has
not escaped the native eye, and many
are the comments made on the subject.
II before the Boer war Is over. England
should find herself engaged in war
with one more Of the greatest powers,
the British government would be called
on to face situation more full Of dan
ger than any 1t has met during the past
century.

AZ Charlotte Observer, Saturday: DR..
]. f. Warren, of New York, who fnau-
gurated the system of river dredging
for gold in this section, went to the
works on the Catawba river Yesterday,
in company with Mr.. j. B. Waring, a
hydraulic engineer from New York. 1t
is proposed to improve the present sys-
tenn of dredging by installing suction
machinery. The experiment Of dredg-
ing of the Catawba has proved success
full to such degree as to warrant min
ing on q more extensive scale. DR..
Warren and Mr.. Waring will go to
Morganton today to investigate some
river properties in that section, with
the view to operating dredges.

IE. The census bureau on Wednesday,
issued a bulletin giving the mortality
statistics during the census year in the
states and territories and the princi-
pal registration cities. The total num-
Der of deaths reported for the year was
,039, ,094, as against S41.419 for 1900.
Perhaps the most important feature Of
the results presented is found in the
decrease of the general death rate in
the registration area of 1.S per 1000 of
population, a decrease of nearly 10 per
cent. The average age at death in
1880 was 31.1 years; in 1900 it was 35.2
years.
III Dr.. Louis Knapp. st. Louis phy-
sician, has agreed to shut himself up
in a pest house with a Chinese leper
for the purpose Of studying the dis
ease. The doctor is 40 years Of age,
wealthy, and has a wife and children.
At least five other st. Louis physicians
were anxious to undertake the work
DR.. Knapp is undertaking.; but Knapp
prevailed. DR.. Knapp will take his Ii
brary to the pest house and will
give the best thoughts of his life to
the investigation of this most horrible
disease.

Tho r. X X. steamer Nippon Maru.
CAPTAIN Greene. entered this harbor
about sac Yesterday morning after a
remarkably rough trip from san Fran
CISCO. probably the rouEhest ever eN-
usrieuced by the vessel between the
Coast and this city. From the time the
Golden Gate was passed until she
reached port this morning. the vessel
was in a continuous gale which made
tda trip anything but comfortable. on
leaving San Francisco she encounter
% a northwest gale which shifted into
northeast. southeast and southwest.
blowing an the time with unabated
fury and violence with tremendous
high seas. She shipped a good deal
90 water from time % time The seas
carried away two ladders and broke
several air scutties.
The Nippon Maru VAS sighted at
ten minutes after three o'clock yes
t-Iday morning. but was delayed
coming In because the pilot could not
t1a-d her for some time. Pilot Lor-
rusou went out as the steamer lay
south of the mouth Of the channel.
His whale boat was several times
nearly smashed against the vessels
side. The waves came rolling along
.u rapid succession and used the pilot
boat as e she had been a toy. Finally
Ioreuson succeeded "a getting aboard.
Inspectors Jacobsen and Neal went
out in the quarantine boat with DR.
Moore. and had a share OF the pilots
experience. Several times they came
to the conclusion that they would
have 20 give up the attempt TO board
tha vessel when the boat was a few
Iest from the ladder and rose on the
t0n of a big wave. Dr. Moore took a
Hyiug leap. caught the ladder and
climbed aboard. leaving Jacobsen and
Neal behind. Finally they profitcd
hy a short lull In the esa TO grab the
'a,lder and 20 aboard also.
The Maru has 81 cabin and 309
-tHaraEe passengers. the latter in
