said j. w Bidlalke of Colombia, VINO ar

lake has been resident of Colombia,
where he has extensive mining and other
interests, since 1894.
The Nicaragua route" said Mr. Bid
lake, lis 1S6 miles long. The Panama
route, on the other hand, is only a miles
long. and fully half of the canal has al
ready been completed by tie French COM
pany, which has the work in cha ge. That
company is ready and willing to sell out
to the United States. Colombia wants
the Panama canal competed, for it
means the life of the country, and the
government will make any reasonable
agreement with the United States for the
building of the big ditch.
Taking up the question of natural
advantage again. there is no port where
a ship can enter on either the western
or the eastern end of the proposed Mic
aragua route At Greytown, on the asst
ern coast, the surf runs so high that
ship cannot approach closer than within
three miles Of the shore and from that
point the cargo must be taken off in
lighters. The Plan D. opposed by those who
favor the Nicaragua IoIte is to build
breakwaters on either side of the canal
mouth, but it has been estimated by good
engineers that it would he necessary,
even after building sGcl breakwalers to
move 150,0G0C00 tons of sand every year
in order to keep the entrance of the
canal clear.
with the Panama route, on the other
hand, there is a good port at each end,
Panama on the west and Colon on the
east. l can come to no other conclusion
than that the Nicaragua route is huge

WAR IS NEARLY OVER.
At that time Mr. Bidlake left Colombia,
about two months ago, the revolution
which has been in progress there for over
a year seemed to be near an end, and Mr.
BidIake said that he looked for peace
within two or three months.
Gen. Wribe-Wribe, commander of the
revolutionary forces, is now in New
York" continued Mr.. Bidlake. During
the last year the war has practically pre-
vented US from doing any work upon our
mines or in any other line.
The bloOdiest battle of the whole re-
bellion was last summer at Palo-Negro,
in the state Of Santander The battle
lasted fourteen days, with a fighting line
of over six miles, and during that time
about $500 men were killed. The battle
resulted in a, victory for the government
forces. During the conflict the rebels
performed a feat that I think has never
been equaled in the history of modern
warfare. 1t was the taking OF a Calling
gun battery by two reg ments armed with
machetes. Half the attacking force was
lost in this gagement.
THE American colony in Colombia is
comparatively small continued Mr.. Bid
lake, land is principally engaged in min
ing and railroad building. There is a
good opening for capital because there
are at present no manufacturing interests
in the country and everything in the
manufactured line is imported

 Exhibitions.

The Fourth of July committee is to be commended for its good work in general, and particularly for securing Miss Hazel Reyes, the world renown- ed aeronaut. to give one of her start ling aerial performances each evening of the celebration.
 The lady arrived in town recently and is building a balloon especially for her Prescott ascensions. It will be eighty feet in diameter, twenty feet larger than the one she used in mak- ing her ascensions in Phenix and Stafford, in fact the balloon will be larger than any ever waited into mid air by an Arizona breeze.
 The famous toyer with death says she will ascend to height of one mile and remain there thirty minutes be. fore making the descent in her para chute. On one evening she will take Bob Brow's pet coon up with her and drop him with a little parachute. The coon will be fastened in a basket dur, ing the trip.
 Miss Hazel Reyes has electrified thousands of people with her daring feats and will electrify the Prescott people during her performances here She is highly spoken of as lady and is certainly one of the prettiest mid air performers ever seen hanging to g balloon"

REMARKABLE CURE.
pr. Hart, the 0steopathic Physician Restores the Health of Father
 ImmeI of New Mexico.

The Sun having heard of the most remarkable cure of Rev. Father P. J. Immel, well known priest and mis- sionary, who has charge of mission near Hatch postoffice, New Mexico, requested from the father statement of the facts in regard to the case, and he cheerfully complied, because, he said, he believed the public were en- titled to know of the benefit which he had derived. He said:
 "One year ago last January, while saddlling a fractious horse, I was damned against tree, dislocating the third and fourth rib on the left side, and throwing the fourth rib back of the fifth. Since then I have been in constant pain all over the body and suffered excruciating pains in the chest, neck and head, affecting my eyes. Last Christmas week I lost my voice and could not speak above a whisper when I came here.
 "I had a heavy cough and spit blood constantly. I also had stomach trouble, which dated back to the time when I attended a theological semi nary in Germany where a stomach pump was used by my attend ing physician with detrimental effect. I have constantly taken medicine in order to keep my bowels active. When I was hurt I weighed 176 pounds, which was reduced to 12S.
 have consulted many noted physi- cians in different parts of the country. In Fl Paso they said an operation would be necessary on the left side of the chest, and in no other way could get relief. Father Fabre advised me to see Dr. Hart, who examined me and found my ribs out of place, as have mentioned.
 "He located and explained my troubles exactly. He had no hesita- ton in stating that he could cure me. It is two waeks since I placed myself under his treatment. He put the dis located ribs back in their place, which at once relieved the pains in my head neck, chest and other portions of the body. My cough has entirely left me and I do not spit any blood. My voice has returned and is as strong as ever. My constipation is removed and bowels active. My stomach | navar aotad hattar than noyv and oar eat anything I want. Formerly only slept two or three hours a night and now 1 sleep all night. All credit is due to Dr. Hart for the skillful and scientific treatment which he ha: given me. believe osteopathy is tht coming treatment. 1 shall return home Monday"

IT WAS 4 GHASTLy SIGHT.
Mysterious Find on the Outskirts of the City This Morning which
 Started Lively Street Gossip.

Just before noon today the word was passed from mouth to mouth on the streets that colored man had found newly made grave just east of the city reservoir, containing the remains of an infant about year old. The information was first imparted to Chief of Police Prince who notified the county officials, and Sheriff Munds, District Attorney Ling pro- ceded to the scene in buggy while justice Cornell, officiating as coroner, secured the requisite number of men to constitute jury and proceeded to the spot on foot, in the broiling sun to hold an inquest.
 As they neared the little mound of earth love letter was found on the ground, which was hastily taken pos session of by the ex-officio coroner, who remarked to his companions that it might furnish clue to the tragedy which they were about to investigate, carefully tucking it away among the official records in his pocket. With. out reading it the procession moved on to the grave, where those in the buggy were already in waiting. The size of the little mound fully justified the opinion expressed that it's occu- pant must have been at least year old. A pick and shovel were brought into requisition and the work of ex- huming the dead was proceeded with. Contrary to expectations the grave was quite deep, but finally neat lit tie coffin was disclosed to view, which furnished another surprise, as it was not expected to find coffin enclosing. remains buried in this clandestine way. The lid of the coffin was re- moved and ghastly sight was pre- sented to view, as the burial had evi- dently occurred a month or six weeks ago and the remains were badly de- composed.
 Another surprise still was furnished by the contents of the coffin, as it was discovered that instead of being the remains of a child they were those of Miss Irene Curry's little dog, which some one cruelty poisoned some time since. The disgust depicted on the countenances of the inquest holders can not be we'll described, while the language given expression to would not look well in print. So the curtain is drawn On the scene
