TIE VAR N COLOMBIA.
Minister Silvania Has Conference
With Hay in Regard te the
Situation.
Hay Is Informed That Traffic u
In No Way Interrupted on
Isthmus.
--------
Both Governments Agreed 90 ts
Responsibility Of Maintaining
Free Traffic.

Washington, Aug. 1s.-C Colombian
Minister Silvaina, in conference today
with Hay, the first since the disturbance
in Colombia started, Informed the sec
retary that the traffic on the isthmus is
entirely unobstructed, and assured him
of the ability of Colombia to keep traffic
open.
The minister's communication to Hay
did not take any formal or written
shape, but was formal discussion Of
the situation, based on the minister's
latest advices He informed the secre-
tary that a cable dispatch from Bogota,
sent last Thursday, stated that traffic
across the isthmus was entirely unob-
structed as result of the efforts of the
Colombian authorities. He expressed
the fullest confidence that Colombia
would be able to maintain free traffic
across the isthmus. So far as the Unit
ed States government is concerned there
never has been any purpose to exert any
military force in keeping open isthmian
traffic, unless it became perfectly plain
that Colombia is unable to do so. This
view was doubtless made known to Sill
va, altho the nature of the exchange is
known only in the most general way.
Assurances were given by Silva on
| certain features of the situation.
First. there is no interruption Of traf-
fic at the present time, Colombia giving
States having no advices from its rep
resentatives showing actual stoppage
of traffic within recent days.
| SpcOnd hith fyOverpmepfS are a0repd
| that the first responsibility for main
tanning free traffic is on Colombia, and
| the United States is not called upon to
act until Colombia finds herself unable
to fulfill the primary responsibility.
Third the United States undoubtedly
4 will judge for itself when any occasion
4 arises for exercising its authority on the
isthmus. A request from Colombia
!. would be strong evidence that such oc-
) [casion had arisen, but it is not essential
to await request or notice from Colom-
bia, altho such communfcat un-)
4 doubtedly would receive the fullest con-
A sideration Actual conditions as to
I whether traffic is open or closed will de-
I termine finally whether there is any oc-
4 casion for the exercise of force by the
4 United States.
4 Altho the foregoing is not an omcial
statement, yet it is believed to cover the
main questions involved at the present
I time. 1t is disclosed that the movement
of four warships southwark have been
merely precautionary measures. to look
Il after American interests in case OF ac-
4 tual obstruction of traffic, and that the
situation as it exists today does not call
for the exercise of any American au-
thority on the isthmus. 1t was stated at
1.-THE navy department today that the bat
tleship Iowa now at San Francisco. will
probably sail for Panama tomorrow.

The United States weather station at

platform advocated and embraced the
teachings of the declaration of indepen-
dence, the constitution of the United
States, Christ's sermon on the mount,
the golden rule,the Lords prayer and the
money of the constitution" This is in
line with the Weaver sentiment of the
party. The Ottumwa Democrat has been
for some time booming Cato Sells for
governor, but the convention at Ottum-
wa indorsed Phillips. The prospect of
an interesting time in the Sixth district
caucus is therefore bright.
The new candidates for places on the
ticket are coming to the front One OF
these is John Shortley, of Perry, whose
name will be presented by the delega-
tion from Dallas county for the nomina-
ton for judge of the supreme court. Mr..
Shortley is an able lawyer. He is much
sought after by those who have suits
against the railroads or damage suits
He was republican for many years
altho holding mental reservation With
regard to the protective tariff he
wouldn't stand for prohibition and
finally went over to the democrats
few years ago, since which time he has
been aggressive as democrat. Unless
some other candidate is presented he
will get the support OF this district. for
he is well known to the democrats of the
entire district. Announcement of the
candidacy of w. w. Dodge, of Burling-
ton. for governor. adds much interest to
the convention. Ex-senator Dodge is
courtly gentleman and one who would
almost match the republican nominee
for governor in a contest for manly
beauty. He was in the senate at the
same time that Cummins was in the
house. He took very active part IN
the work of legislation, and proved him
self to be capable legislator. He has
not been heard from much since the sil-
yerites got control of the party. He
ought to have large following from the
First district. 1t is expected that j. =
Romans, of Denison, will be candidate
before the convention. He is an ex-re-
uublican. However, Cato Sells undoubt-
edly has the lead. and if he makes such
an aggressive fight for the nomination
as he is capable of he will land the NOM
;potion
