SITUATION VIEWED WITH ALARM.
Withdrawal of the Colombian Minis

The latest development in the Venezue-
lan-Colombian situation, viz. the with
drawal of the exequaturs of all the Colom-
bian consuls in Venezuela, has Increased
the feeling of officials here that the, rela-
t1ons between the two countries are still Of
a very serious character. In diplomatic
circles especially the condition. existing be-
tween these two republics is viewed with
alarm, though their representatives here
are without any recent inforfnation that
will throw light on the situation The
withdrawal Of the exequaturs of consuls is
a decided demonstration of unfriendliness
to the country they represents and leaves
them powerless to transact any business
Such action usually accompanies dsclara:
tiop of war or state of hostilfties. In the

Caracas to Bogota. The latter's departure
followed a stormy scene in the, Venezuelan
cabinet as result of an eff0rt of Presi-

Dr: Rico's subsequent leaving was entirely
voluntary, but he felt that the situation be-
tween the two countries wac SO serious
that 1t was preferable to communicate with
his own government in person rather than
through the mails.
The officials of the LEGATIONS ne the coup-
tries interested continue hopeful that war
may be averted. The Colambians say that
the people of both republics are opposed 10
any war and that the present troubles are
due to the Vaccinations OF individuals with

DISQUIETING RUMORS.
Continue to Find Their Way to
Public Notice.
Preparations For the Corona
tion Are Urged Forward.

New York, Oct. discriminating the
reports regarding the health of the king,
the London correspondent of the Tri-
bune cables: There has been a marked
revival of the unfavorable reports re-
garding the kings condition, but it is
irresponsible gossip, based on hearsay
evidence. The court functionaries and
hospital surgeons can not learn from
any authoritative source that the king
is materially worse than he was before
he left London for Germany.
There has been great increase in
pessimistic talk in London clubs. but
the facts relating to the kings condition
have not altered and the ailments re-
ported from Balmoral are not serious
Preparations for the coronation are in
progress, and the king is taking direct
and hearty interest in every detail
Those who have been in consultation
with him report that his voice is strong,
and that he shows no symptoms of any
incurabl malady. His mind is clear,
his orders are explicit, and, except for
a perceptible increase of irritability, his
manner is the same as it was during
the early months of his reign.
Current reports respecting the kings
declining health are without doubt pre-
mature and unauthorized. The king will
speedily come to London and silence the
alarming rumors, and will convert the
return of the Duke Of Cornwall and
York from Canada into an imperial
function.

the Turkish government is responsible
for the retention of Miss Stone, whose
capture was committed with the con-
nivance of Macedonian agitators if not
with that of the higher authorities The
bands is most suspicious, and very diff
ferent from what it was during the
time of Stambouloff.''
The Times has the following from it's
Vienna correspondent:
The Sofia correspondent of the Poster
Lloyd says that Todaroff, the driver
who accompanied Miss Stone when she
was kidnapped, has been arrested on
suspicion of connivance. He is a Bull
village, and his statements are regard
ed as authentic.
Todaroff asserts that Miss Stone, ac-
companied by Zirikoff and his wife, by
Dimitroff and three women teachers,
all Bulgarians. was stopped by brig
ands toward o'clock in the evening
in a narrow pass in the road leading
from the village of Bankso to Dinmaia
in Turkey. The brigandS took Miss
Stone and Nine. Zirkoff away and left
men to guard the others. This guard,
however, disappeared the following
morning. leaving all the luggage and
horses behind.
Todaroff'S attempt to represent the
brigands as Turks is considered sus-
picious. The fact that the brigands left
the luggage untouched is held to con-
was to fill the empty pockets of Mace
donian Adventures. Todaroff declares
that the closing of the frontier in those
districts is quite illusory, as he crossed
without a passport and declares that
he did not meet any frontier guards
