DAMAGE TO THE WRIGHT.
Gen. Chaffee Reports the Transport
Badly Injured.

The War Department received a cable
gram from General Chaffee today, stating
that the transport Wright struck on an un-
chartered rock near the south end of
Daram Island, at the north entrance to
San Juanico straits, a few days ago, and
was badly injured. General Chaffee said
that the vessel was resting quietly on her
port side, with fifteen feet of water in her
hold, which rises and falls with the tide.
The general stated that General Smith is
of the opinion that the Wright may be
raised with wrecking vessel, but that he
himself feared that sufficient power cannot
be obtained in the waters of the San Juan
leo straits for that purpose. General Chat
fee also states that no lives were lost, and
that large part of the cargo will be
saved, though in damaged condition The
accident occurred near the Island of Samar,
one of the Philippines.
The Wright has been in Philippine wa
ters since last May, and has been utilized
in transporting troops and supplies among
the islands of the Philippine group. She
was originally a fruit steamer, and was
presented to the government by patriotic
society of Boston at the outbreak of the
Spanish h-Americdn war and used as a hos
pital ship. Later she was fitted out as a
dispatch boat and sent to Cuba for the use
of Governor General Leonard Wood. She
was equipped with refrigerating plant
and a refrigerated store room. which
added to her value for her work in the
Philippines. The Wright was formerly the
Aid, and later the Bay State.

CO1Ombia's Notification to the Vene-
zuelan Government.


zuelan Government.
The State Department has received con-
frmation of the notification from the CO.
lombian government to Venezuela that it
has terminated diplomatic relations. This
came in the shape of a cablegram from
Minister Hart. This action is the result OF
the hasty withdrawal last August from
the Venezuelan capital of DR.. Rico the Co.
lombian minister there. 1t was reported at
the time that he was to be given his pass
ports by President Castro because the lat
ter was dissatisfied with the responses made
by the Colombian government to Vene-
zuela's demands for settlement of the
troubles that had arisen between the two
countries. 1t appeared, however, that If
such was Castro's intention DR.. Rico had
outwitted him by his precipitate but vol
untary retirement. Now it is gathered that
the Colombian legation at Caracas having
been vacant for nearly four months, and
the archives being in the custody of the
United States legation there, the VeneZue-
Ian government has taken notice of the
hiatus, with the result that the Colombian
government has finally declined to renew
the old relations.

Only year and a half ago our own gov
ernment was obliged to give Minister
Loomis an indefinite leave of absence from
Caracas as an indication to Venezuela OF
our dissatisfaction with it's attitude in the
controversy growing out of the asphalt
dispute. But, it is said, those manifesto
tions of foreign disapproval have had very
little influence upon the Venezuelan gov
ernment, and it is a significant fact that
the present breach with Colombia has been
created at the moment when the powerful
German government is considering the
adoption of compulsory measures to secure
the payment by the Venezuelan government
of very heavy financial liability to Ger
man subjects. 1t is supposed here that
President Castro IS proceeding under the
theory that the application Of the Monroe
doctrine would protect him from punitive
action by Germany, but the impression
among officials here is that this belief is
not well founded -.-----

dent Roosevelt. and expected to return by

said he had expressed no opinion on the
question Of annexationsnf Cuba, and that to
do SO would be impeiflic. The story, he
added. was probably put out to affect the
elections in Cuba. but nothing would come
OF 1t. Matters were quiet in Cuba and prep
aratfons were being made for the coming
election in February
"Of course" said Gen. Wood, ''there are
a number of people in Cubatwllo desire an
nexation, but doubt the possibility of Sc
curing canvass of opinion on the ques-
ton. The people Of Cuba wish to see their
flag floating over Morro Castle, even if it
We're only for a week.
Mr.. Dady says that the city council Of
Havana py a unanimous vote gave him the
Havana contract for public improvements
there, and that the plans and specifications

GOV. TAFT TO RETURN.
1t Is Expected That the Trip VIII
Hasten His Recovery.


Secretary Root has sent a cable message
to Judge Taft. civil governor of the Phil
ippines, instructin8 him to return to the
United States at his earliest convenience,
and it is expected that Gov. Taft will take
passage on one Of the transports leaving
Manila early in December. This action is
the result of recent advices to the effect
that Judge Taft Is still in bad health, and
is not recovering as rapidly as was ex-
pected from the operation to which he was
subjected over month ago.
1t is said that the climate Of Manila is
not favorable to his recuperation and it Is
deemed advisable that he should return to
the United States without unnecessary de-
lay. 1t is predicted that his recovery will
be expedited by the ocean voyage and that
on his arrival in Washington he will be
physically able to give valuable information
to the President and Secretary of War, with
a view to securing necessary legislation
from Congress
During Governor Taft's enforced absence
Vice Governor Wright will act civil gov-
ernor of the Philippines. Judge Wright
was appointed vice governor October 90 'in
order to relieve somewhat the very great
pressure under which Governor Taft was
labOring."

HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE.
Destructive Blaze I'm Lumber Yard q
New York City.

New York City.
NEW YORK, November 2a.-The fire
which started yesterday afternoon in the
lumber yards of VIM. E. Uptegrove Bros,
at the foot of East 10th and 11th streets,
burned all night. Up to 10 o'clock this
morning the firemen were fighting flames in
different parts of the large yards. The
fire on the Standard Oil property, however.
was extinguished late in the night. The
total loss was estimated today at s75o. 600.
Chief Croker Of the fire department said
today that before the rear wall Of the Up
tegrove factory fell on the Standard OF
Company's premises he had inspected the
latter building and found 125 barrels OF
naphtha and gasoline stored there. This.
said Chief Croker, was violation of law
which forbids the storing OF more than one
barrel of an explosive In any one building
within the city limits.
Charles Kellogg, an employe OF the Stand.
ard Oil Company, when told Of Chief Gro.
kers statement that the law had been vfos
lated, said that Mr.. Croker had no right to
make any such statement. He said that
petroleum was stored IN the building, but
he could not say how much. Another en-
ploye OF the company said there was no
gasoline or naphtha in the building yester-
day.

Surrender Today.
The Navy Department has received con-
frmation of the press report to the effect
that the liberals at Colon were about to
surrender today a result of the armistice
yesterday aboard the L. s. s. Marietta.
Today a cablegram was received at the
Navy Department from Oomna ander Perry
of the battle ship Iowa. 1t will be noted
that Captain Perry has left his ship on
the other side of the isthmus and crossed
by rail to take part in the conference of
the naval commanders and the. Colombian
leaders The cablegram reads:
COLON, November %.
Arrangements for the surrender today
of Colon and the liberal forces have been
completed
"fSigneD PERRY"
A cablegram was received at the State
Department this morning from Consul Cen
eral Gudger at Panama saying that the
liberals at Colon had been defeated and
that the government was, in possession of
that town. :
Terms of Surrenncr.a
Mr. Herran, the Colombian charge, says
that it is well known that Gen Alban Will
grant nothing short of complete capitula-
tion by the rebel forces, with all their arms
and ammunition. But it is understood that
Gen. Alban will give immunity to the per-
sons and private property of those who lay
down their arms, and that they may be
granted leave to depart on parole. They
will not, however, be permitted to remove
any of their military supplies from Colon,
and their parole will prevent their joining
any OF the scattered bands Of rebels at
other points.
The American Occupation.
Some OF the reports reaching here show
that there is apprehension ON the part of
some Of the Colombians on the isthmus,
including men of considerable influence, as
to the duration of the stay of American
marines. 1t has come to the knowledge of
officials here that many wild srumors have
been circulated on the isthr1us, some of
them going to the extent ofsasserting that
the United States forces. having once
landed, would not be withdrawn.
These reports have led to inquiries be-
tween Panama and Washington, bringing
out that the rumored American occupation
was wholly imaginary, and that the. most
positive and definite assurances had been
given that Immediately on the fulffllment
OF this governments obligation to keep
open the traffic our forces would be de-
parked and all American authority would
pc terminated. This purpose OF the author
tiles here has been made known to those in
influence on the isthmus and has served
to allay. the fears caused by reports of
American occupation.

Horses Come High in Kansas.

Abilene, Kan, May 17-The horse
buyers of Central Kansas are finding
1T difficult to buy good horses for the
eastern market, owing to the deple-
tion of the farmers stock and the
consequent high prices. From this
place alone fully $500 horses of the
best quality have been shipped in the
last eighteen months. A year ago
$75 would buy almost any horse in
the market, while now it takes 1925
to $40 for first-ciass animals
The 500 horse is a reality in'Cen-

twelve years. Shippers scour the
country and take their purchases as
