WORD FROM VENEZUELA.
Replies to Regrets Expressed by
President Mckinley at Report
ed Trouble with Colombia,

washington, Sept. At is ascer-
tanned that on August "a, during Sec
rotary Hays recent visit to Washing
ton, Geographic message was sent
to the ministers at Caracas and Bogota
directing them to inform the foreign
secretaries of Venezuela and Colombia
of the distress with which the presi-
dent had heard of the likelihood of
disturbance of the relations between
these two republics. Adverting to
the possibility of the influence of the
United States being eXerted to COM
pose the pending questions, the min
listers were directed to say that, while
the relations of this government with
both nations are equally intimate and
friendly and every opportunity is
taken to show the goodwill we bear
them, an offer of the presidents kind
ly offices to arrange any differences
which may exist between Colombia and
Venezuela would be ineffective without
the acquiescence of both.
Nevertheless, inspired by the senti-
ments which are common to all the
governments of the American repub-
lies, the United States would sincerely
deplore breach of the amicable re-
lations that at this time happily exist
between the sister nations of the west
ern world, and would especially regret
any action by either of them which
might menace the security of transit
across the isthmus or the neutrality
OF its territory and thereby constrain'
the government of the United States
to consider its responsibilities and
fnuctions under existing treaty en-
gagements with Colombia.
The text of Mr. Rays telegram has
not been made public. Tt is under
stood that an acknowledgment of it's
receipt has been made by the Vene-
Zuelan government, but it's purport
has not been made known, although
it is said to be friendly in tone, and,
while charging invasion by Colom-
b' n forces on the Venezuelan bor-
der and referring TO the temporary
suspension of diplomatic intercourse
which has occurred, the way appears
tobe open for explanations. Vrnezuc-

been received from Bogota, but this
is supposed to be due to the report
ed delays in tclegraphic communion

stations.
Colombia, also, it is said. has made
response to the note of Secretary Hay.
While its contents are not obtainable,
the statement is made that it is con-
ciliatory in character and expresses
an earnest wish that war with VeneZ-
uela may be avoided. Such a result, it
| is stated, would be a cause of genuine
regret to the people of Colombia, CO.
lombia, it is stated, stands ready to ac-
cept the friendly intervention of the
United States to avert war, and reposes
full confidence in the latter country.

THE MONEY IS UP.
Parties to the international Yacht
Wager Place 100000 in the
Hands of the Stakeholder.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 4.-The great
international yacht bet of 100000 be-
tween an English syndicate, repre-
scented by Walter J. Kingsley, of Lon
don, and a group of patriotic Pitts
burgers, represented by William I.
Muslin, was finally arranged Tuesday
afternoon. The entire sum was depos-
tied in the hands of the stakeholder,
Mr.. Kingsley turning over $4,000 in
British bank notes and Mr.. Muslin CIV
ing a certified check for $25O,000. What
is said to be the greatest bet in history
was thus successfully consummated.
A gentleman prominent in financial
circles, and who is known as far as
London, was suggested as possible
stakeholder. This gentleman when
approached, consented to become
stakeholder upon the express condi-
ton that his name should be withheld
from the public. The stake is to be
paid within one week after the con-
GLIDING race, the place of meeting to
be New York. The wager is simply
$3.50 900 to $25O.Oo0 that Shamrock lifts
the cup. There are no conditions as to
