Washington. Sept. 7.--An official cable
announcement that the Venezuelan feet
is bombarding the Colombian town of Rio
Hacha was received at the Colombian
Legation today. The dispatch came from
Dr. Ricardo Becerra, formerly the Colom-
bian Minister in Washington, and at
present at willemstad, near the scene of
operations looking after the interests OF
his government. The text of the cable
gram is as follows:
"Willemstad, Curacao, Sept 7th.
Venezuelan fleet is bombarding Rio
Hacha
(Signed) "BECERRA."
The bombardment is regarded by the
Colombian authorities as an unmistaka-
BILE and open act OF war; Rio Hacha is
on the North coast of Colombia, a short
distance from the Venezuelan border. and
is so located as to command the penin-
sula west of the Gulf of Maracaibo.
Sovereignty over the peninsula has long
been in question, but the Queen Regent
of Spain awarded it to Colombia as a re-
suit of an arbitration three years ago.
and this has been accepted by both coun-
tries.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 7.-Leon
Czolgocz, the self-avowed disciple
of Emma Goldman, and the other
radical anarchist leaders, who shot
President Mckinley, insists that he
alone is responsible for his crime.
He says that he talked the matter
over in advance in a general way
with his friends but that he was
not advised by Ehem and that there
was no plot or conspiracy to take
the life of the President in which
any one else had a part. He de-.

men with whom he discussed the
crime of Friday, but the police be-
Iieve they will vet learn them and
that when they do they will have
exposed TIE anarchistic plot Of
which they are confident the pris-
oner was the final agent of murder.
CzcIgocz submitted to six hours of
examination and questioning at the
hands of the police officials today
and was tired out when they led
him back to his cell ad locked hin;

The President has taken no nour-

they showed an absence Of unfavor-

regarded as very hopeful. The
