TIE REVOLUTION ENDED.

Washington. June 2O-Dr. Martinez
Silva, minister from Colombia, has re-
ceived dispatches from the capital of
Colombia which he regards as setting at
rest reports that the Colombian revolu-
tionists are again in strong force around
Panama. The dispatches state the up
rising has been entirely stamped out,
with the exception Of small scattered
bands operating in the neighborhood of
Panama. The bands are said to have no
strength in Panama city, but their
guerrilla tactics in the neiehborhood ac-
count for the alleged trouble expert
enced by American and other parties.
In the view of the Colombian govern
ment the revolution Is actually at an
end and the bands around Panama are
treated as part of the guerrilla move
ment like that going or in the Philip
pines.
AS confirming this view of the govern
ment the official dispatches state that
the Bank of I'ogota has offered to adj
vance the national government all the
funds 1t requires if the issue of paper
money is discontinued.

IT LOOKS LIKE FRAUD
Printing Scandal Connected with
the Paris Exposition Report.


Washington. june 2o.-In all probable
ity there will be a printing scandal con-
nected with the preparation OF report
on the Paris exposition. and Commits
sioner General Peck may be called upon
TO explain why he has permitted his
paid employees TO participate In an at
tempt to induce the pubic to purchase
these reports at a price more than four
times their actual cost. Ever since his
appointment Commissioner Pecks Office
has been subjected to constant criticism
iE congress because OF alleged extrava-
gance and of rather careless bookkeep-
ing.
There has never been any charge that
any person connected with the commits
sion was making money improperly. and
II is somewhat of a surprise therefore,
to find that one of the highest salaried
officials in the Paris commission had en-
tered upon scheme which, while abso-
lutely legal and devoid of all fraud, will
at the same time be certain to arouse
criticism in congress, and probably an
7 official investigation.
In the meanwhile. the public is called
upon to buy government reports at a
price more than four times the cost to
Z the enterprising dealers. This would be
mere business extortion were 1t not for
the fact that the person making the ex-
f'aordinary offer ls no other than the
editor OF the report himself. Mr.. A. 8.
