NEW YORK, Aug. Ga. Dias Guer-

bloody battle which occurred between the

The steamer Philadelphia has arrived

Since the war started in October 4.OOO
men, he declares, have been killed and
wounded. Agent Guerra said last night:
There will he no cause for the Cnlteu
States of North America to interfere be-
cause of the revolution in Colombia. The
insurgents will not disturb the operation
of the railroad or the digging of the canal
at the isthmus. They were up i'll that sec

were not disturbed"
The Atlas line steamer Altai. which has
arrived here from Colombian ports, is the
first one from Cartagena since the arrest
there on the steamer Allegheny of Colonel

latter's peace emissary. According to the
mail advccs and newspapers Colonel Mu-
rillo is not incarcerated, as was reported
in one of the underground dungeons of
Cartagena. He is imprisoned in the city
Jail and is well cared for. The arrest of
Colonel Murilo, it appears. was ordered
to prevent him from joining General
Tribe in his new rebellion. 1t is believed
that not only was this his intention. but
the officials suspected that he had i'm
portant verbal messages for his chief.

THROUGH NIAGARA RAPIDS.
A Buffalo Man Makes n Successful
Attempt.

NIAGARA FALLS, Aug. "a man
named Chambers, accompanied by a com
panion, arrived here from Buffalo yester-
day afternoon. They made their way to
the gorge, going to a point on the New
York side just below the outlet of the
whirlpool. This is below the tiercest part
of the Niagara rapids, The men carried
life buoy and life preserver, and these
Chambers tied about his body. He then
leaped into the river and went down
stream. The buoy and life preserver were
sufficient to keep him well up out of the
water. and now and then his progress
was aided by strong swimming. Passen-
gers on car on the electric scenic line
watched him as he was dashed about by
the waves.
1t was on this portion of the river that
Peter Nissens boat was wrecked after
he sent it out of the whirlpool. In places
the rocks lie close to the surface, and dan
gerous lodges run far out into the river.
But Chambers avoided all dangers and
successfully swan the river to a point be-
tween the Devils hole and Lewiston
Why he performed the feat was not made
clear by him. The men returned to Buffa.

COMETS POSITION.
Denies That He Is an AnneXationist
as Reported.

HAVANA, Aug. 6.-General Maxine
Gomez has written to his friend General
Vega regarding the reports that he had
described himself and Senior Estrada
Palma as annexationists. After remark
ing that he had come upon a reference
to the matter in local paper in Puerto
Principe he says:
ITO pretend that Senior Palma and
are annexationsts is madness. The best
way TO carry out plan is TO speak much
of it. For this reason II appears that
many Cubans desire annexation and look
to most of the prominent chiefs of the
revolution 10 support the movement, but
they have tried to convert to the doc
trine some very old heretics.
The Platt law solved the question.
The constitutional convention was not
to blame. as it had fired the last car
fridge in defense of absolute independ-
ence."
There was no meeting of the constitu-
tional convention yesterday, only 20 dele
gates presenting themselves. The con-
vention is gradually becoming a laugh
ing stock.

, on the accession of his father to the
throne, became crown prince. They
were singularly well matched and mani

his death. The crown princess was new
err very popular however, with the Ger
man people. In the first place, She was
| a clever woman, a woman of much more
than the average ability, and it was
| clear from the first that some of those in
authority looked upon her with suspicion
and not wholly without fear. AS crown

indirect and restricted, but it was well

her own on political, social and economic
questions and ambition and energy
enough to carry them ont in the way OF
reforms should it ever be in her powe
to do so. Add to this certain laten
dislike of things English on the part OF
the German people and a certain lacl
of fine aptability-tact, in shorten

NEW TROTTlNG RECORD.
Cresceus Clips Half second From
Previous Time.

COLUMBUS. o., Aug. 3.-Cresceus,
champion of the trotting turf. added
more laurels to his fame yesterday by
trotting a mile in 202H. reducing by
oneh half second his week old record Of
2:O2%. made at Cleveland last Friday.
The first half was trotted in o034 seconds,
the first time that the distance has been
covered in less than one minute by a
trotter. The time by quarters was
0:29$4, 0:59%, :30A and 2;O2A Only
stiff wind blowing directly up the
stretch kept Cresceus from stepping
faster than 2:O2. More than 12.OOO peo-
pie journeyed to Driving park to see the
great trotter in action. 1t was a bril-
liant assembage, and intense enthusiasm
for the horse was manifested. The
weather at noon was unpromising. The
sky was lowering and overcast, and a
few drops of rain fell, but not enough to
hurt the track. which was in excellent
condition. or to keep the crowd away.
On the fifth score Ketcham nodded for
the word, but Cresceus was not III his
stride and he pulled up at the first turn
to try it again. Down to the wire ht
rushed, the runner two lengths behind
and this time it was 60. Gamcly
facing the breeze the champion started
on his journey, moving with apparent
ease and at his greatest speed.
The runner caught him at the quarter
and shout went up from the throng as
the time went up, quarter of second
less than 30 Now the wind was at his
back. an,E realizing the advantage
! Ketcham kept him at his great clip. The
half mile pole was passed in 1884 sec
onds record never before attained, and
here the second runner caught him up
Into the far turn and around it the great
stallion rushed. The three-quarter pole
was reached in 30A
Then came the great trial, for as Ores
reus turned into the stretch the bitter
wind beat him in the face and held hin
back by force For the fraction of
second he seemed to falter, but his driv
er's voice encouraged him, and on h'
came. With indomitabe courage h,
plunged i'll toward the finish with un
weakened stride, and, in spite Of weari
ness and the buffeting of the breeze, b,

the labor men talked just as determinedly
as they did yesterday about calling out
