COLOMBIA AND VENEZUELA
 STILL TALK OF WAR.

Colon, Colombia, December 26, via Gal veston-Newspaper just received here from coast towns in Colombia and Ven ezuela have much to say about the pres ent status of the Venezuelan-Colomb imbroglio The gist of the various news paper articles is that each republic is still oensuring the other for continued war preparations. These newspapers con- tain no actual news of declaration of war by either Colombia or Venezuela. They set forth that the policy of Colom- bia is one of readiness to meet any emer- gency; hence she will make continued eff forts to increase the number of her troops now on the Venezuelan frontier.
 The Colombian gunboat General Pin zon, with 700 troops on board, has left here for Rio Hacha~ It Is reported from the interior of Colombia that there has been no recent serious fighting there. A few Liberal insurgents were found near Honda on the Magdalena river. They were easily defeated and dispersed by the gov ernment troops.
 The Colombian conservative general, Castro, considering 1t next to impossible to surround the Liberal leader Lorenzo, and his followers, who are now in La Negrita mountains, has come to the con- clusion that the governments best policy Is to garrison the int erior towns strongly in the neighborhood of the Liberal re- treat thus cutting off Lorenzo's supplies and ultimately forcing him to surrender.
 General Castro Is an old Indian fighter He has campaigned in the Guajira penin- sula, and in the Colombian department of Cauca. He is familiar with the Indian tac- tics of warfare used by Lorenzo.

LAST ULTIMATUM TO
 STREET EYE SORES
CHIEF AUSTIN WILL TODAY MAKE AFINAL ROUNDUP OF THE BEG CARS AND STREET FAKlRs OF BIRMINGHAM.

Chief of Police Austin will today take another trip around the streets, provided it does not rain, with the patrol wagon, and woe to all beggars and street fakirs who allow themselves to be discovered. During the Christmas days the police force was so busy keeping order and the patrol wagon so constantly on the go after more serious offenders against the law, that the chief was unable to have a general round up. He will now make up for lost time.
 Since the chiefs ultimatum to the beggars and street fakirs there has been a fresh list of arrivals published in the Tramps' Guids of Birmingham, and most of them hail from Atlanta Chief Aus tin commented at length yesterday after noon on the number of bad characters he entertains from Atlanta, and in conclu- sion stated that he had no intention of allowing the people of Birmingham to feed Atianta's indgent population.

TROUBLE IS TERMINATED

Washington. December 26. - Argentine Minister Dr. Garcia Merout today re- ceived dispatch from the minister of foreign affairs at Buenos Ayres announce ing the satisfactory termination of the Chili-Argentine trouble and giving the basis of settlement. The dispatch Is as follows:
 "The pending incidents with Chili have been solved by an agreement directly with the government of that country and in satisfactory manner. Chilli gives ex- planation of the opening of the road through the territory, and both govern ments agree to withdraw the police force which they have maintained in the terri tory in controversy situated near the in- let of Ultima Esperanza.
 (Signedo "ALCORTA, Minister of Foreign Affairs" Dr. Garcia Merout expressed himself as highly gratified with the disappearance of the war cloud and pointed out the terms of settlement showing that Argen- tines earnest desire to maintain peace had led her to make considerable sacri- flee. By both forces withdrawing their police from that locality the government ownership of the Ultima Esperanza ter ritory becomes a question for arbitra- ton.

ARBITRATION IS
 THE BEST METHOD
PAN-AMERIcANs DECIDE THAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO SETTLE INCONVENIENCE MAY ADJOURN JANUARY 26.

Mexico City, December 26.-Today a substantial agreement on the subject of arbitration was practically reached by the several delegations to the Pan Ameri- can conference. Contrary to what had been anticipated 1t is almost sure that the agreement is unanimous including even Argentine. who 1t was thought would refuse to sign anything but a compulsory scheme of arbitration The basis of agree ment is simply The Hague convention. All the nations represented at the con- ference in Mexico will become parties. They might join it independently. but as the United States and Mexico are all ready members of the The Hague conven- tion, it has been concluded that they shall have the honor of introducing the other nations. In addition the nations to the conference other than the United States Chilli, Colombia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and perhaps one or two others, will sign among themselves a scheme of compul- sory arbitration. but till accepting The Hague tribunal and The Hague pro- cedure This compulsory plan, however, will only take effect among the signatory nations, and will not have the official sanction of the Pan-American conference.
 A sentiment is growing up in favor of fixing January as the definite date for the closing of the conference.
 Hon. volney Foster of Chicago, one of the United States delegates. takes a hope full view of the result of the conven- tion's work. declaring that he believes that the congress will be a success, and that 1t will achieve what it set out to do under its programme The matters before the various committees are being care fully studied and MT. Foster regards the general programme laid out for the congress as sure to be carried out.

WAGES INCREASED.
Brakemen, Yardmen and Yard Bremen
 at Pittsburg Granted Raise.

Pittsburg December 26.--An railroad companies in Pittsburg district today granted increases to brakemen, yardmen and yard firemen. The advance is uni formly two cents an hour to yard con- ductors and brakemen and one cent an hour to yard firemen. Yard engineers are not affected by the increase, but they are now being paid more in proportion than other yardmen. The advance is practically the scale which the men tried to force several weeks ago by striking and failed. The officials say the ad- vance is given because the yard situa- tion in this district has become more difficult to handle and requires much extra work on the men.
