THE SOUTHERN RAPTIsTs
Annual Convention TO Assemble In
New Orleans This Week.

Annual Convention to Assemble In
New Orleans This Week.
NEW ORLEANS, May 6.-The annual
session of the Southern Baptist conven-
ton will convene in this city on Friday
next.
The convention will be in session
from Friday until Tuesday, but there
will be meetings of two of the bodies Of
the convention on Thursday. These
are the trustees of the Southern Baptist
Theological seminary at Louisville and
the committee on cooperation. The
latter body is composed of three mem
bers from each of the three boards of
the convention, the foreign mission
board, located in Richmond; the publ.
cation board, located III Nashville, and
the home mission board, located in At
lanta. DR.. Landrum is president of the
latter board and Rev. Dr. Kerfoot and
Rev. DR.. richuor are the two secreta-
ries.
A great deal of interest centers In the
election of president for the conven-
ton. Governor Northen of Georgia has
held the Office for two successive terms,
and it is not known whether he will ac-
cept the honor for another term. AL
ready several names of prominent men
are being mentioned for the place. They
are: Governor Head of Louisiana, Gov
ernor Longino OF Mississippi Governor
Aycock of North Carolina and General
Stephen D. Lee. 1t is stated that the

RUMOR INCORRECT
As TO MANCHURIA
Complete Opening of Country
Not Contemplated.
WAS ONLY A SUGGESTION

Chinese Maritime Customs VIII Be
Materially Increased, Notwithstand-
ing the Injury Which Will Accrue to
American and British Trade.
LONDON, May GA representative of
the Associated Press was officially noti-
he'd that the statement of the Shanghai
correspondent of the London Times
that China has approached the powers,
suggesting complete opening of Man
tries, and that replies have been re-
ceived from Japan, the United States
and Great Britain. is incorrect. China
has not approached the powers IN regard
to general opening of Manchuria.
What actually occurred was that
high Chinese official threw out such a
suggestion, and after some slight diplo-
matte mention the matter ended there.
It is realized in Downing street that
any step toward securing the opening
up of Manchuria would be construed at
St Petersburg as direct opposition to
Russia's desires. The British foreign
Office has not the slightest intention of
embarking upon such fruitless task as
the one indicated by The Times cor
respondent, and believes the United
States and Japan fully concur with that
view.
Ii is now feared that, in spite of the
protest of the United States and Great
Britain. the Chinese maritime customs
will be raised considerably above the
per cent increase to which Great Britain
consented in order to help China to meet
the indemnity. That such action will
principally hurt American and British
trade is keenly appreciated in Downing
street, but 1t appears that the increase
cannot be avoided without the British
and American withdrawal from the con-
cert, which step Lord Lansdowne does
not contemplate for a moment.

THE CIVIL WAR IN COLOMBIA
Rebels Confine Their Operations to
Guerrilla Tactics.

Rebels Confine Their Operations to
Guerrilla Tactics.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 6.-Claude
Q. Mallett, the British consul at Pana-
ma, who arrived here yesterday, on his
way to England, said in an interview
that the revolution in Colombia had de-
generated into guerrilla warfare, and
that the strength of the rebels was not
known. One week perhaps 5000 men
are in the field, while the next week
there will be but 1000, as the rebels are
in the habit of returning to their homes
in order to gather supplies and the fol-
lowing week they are out i'll full force
again.
The Colombian government has taken
the most strict precautions to guard the
important towns of the country, espec.
tally Panama, which is considered to be
perfectly safe. In spite of the strong
garrisons, however, the rebels occasion
ally manage to get near enough to the
towns to inf1ict damage by shipping. No
organized attacks have been made dur
ing the past two months.
The country is altogether unsettled in
consequence of the continuation of the
struggle. Business is paralyzed and the
people in the interior country are suffer-
ing from the trade stagnation. The CO.
lombian government, concluded Mr..
Mallett, are exercising very strong pre-
cautions in order to prevent news af-
fecting themselves from leaking out of
the country.
Advices from other sources report
heavy fighting last week in the interior
from Savanilla and Baranquilla. The
rebels repulsed an attack of the govern
ment forces with heavy losses on both
