TROUBLES ON ISTHMUS
No Developments In Colombia-Vene-
zuela Situation Reported.
MACHIAs TO START SOON.
Presence of French Cruiser Suchet,
which Is Now at Colon, Expected
to Have salutary influence
In Quieting Disorder.

Washington, Aug. 14.-No Important
deyelopments in the Colombia -Vene-
zuela situation have been reported 70
the state department.
The reported death Of General UriDe-
Uribe cannot be confirmed In any offi-
cial quarter.
1t is expected that the Machlas VIII
complete her coaling and taking on OF
ammunition very soon and VIII tneh
start for Panama. In this connection
It is noted that the French warship
Suchet has already arrived at Colon.
Although the French are understood
10 have considerable property interests
on the isthmus, 1t is said that there Is
no provision in the treaty between
France and Colombia similar to that In
the treaty between France and the
United States requiring that free trans
II across the isthmus shall be kept open.
1t Is not doubted, however, that the
presence of the Suchet will have sal
utary influence In quicting disorder.
The statements made in the French
press to the effect that the incident on
the isthmus might lead to an American
acquisition in that quarter receive no
attention or credence In the best posted
official quarters.
