field and Six Hundred VenezueIans
Meet Oeath-conflicting Reports as
to Whether or not Gen. Uribe-Uribe
Is Alive.

Willemstad, Curacao, Oct. 5.-The
Associated Press has received the
following from its correspondent in
the field:
The most serious feature of the Qua.
jira campaign today is the attitude of
the Guiajira Indians. When the Ven
ezuleans first entered the peninsula
| they robbed the Indians of cattle and
generally malterated them. The In
dians are now retaliating, cruelty mu-
tilating and numbering many fugitives
who have been struggling since the
defeat over the waterless, burning fiat
peninsula in an effort to reach their
lines or the coast.
General Davila's first fight at euro
ga was futile. Five Venezuelan bat
talions of 400 men each engaged the
Columbians, estimated at the same
number. 1t is now known that Gen.
Echeverria was killed on the battle
field and not shot by Colombians The
sacred battalion was composed of
gentlemen volunteers. After Echever-
ria was killed, Ermilio Castro. brother
Of the president, fed the field An
other battalion then broke. The three
remaining kept up fighting after the
routed and 500 were killed on the Ven
ezuelan side, including minor officers.
All flags of the VeneZuelans were lost,
as well as Davila's cannon. Such as
were not captured by the Colombians
were thrown into the river by re-
treating Venezuelans. Indians am
bushed Davila's retreating vanguard
and 200 men were annihilated.

AN oLO-FASHIoNED WOMAN

NO clever, brilliant thinker she,
With college record and degree.
She has not known the paths of fame,
The world has never heard her name.
She walks in old. long trodden ways.
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Home is her kingdom, love her dover
She seeks no other wand of power
To make home sweet, bring heaven
near,
To win a smile and wipe a tear.
And do her duty day by day
In her own quiet place and way.
Around her childish hearts are twined.
AS round some reverend saint, en-
shrined,
And following hers the childish feet
Are led to ideals true and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood.
She keeps her faith unshadowed still
God rules the world in good and i'll;
Men in her creed are brave and true
And women pure as pearls of dew.
And life for her is high and grand,
By work and glad endeavor spanned
This sad old earths brighter place
All for the sunshine of her face;
Her very smile blessing throws,
And hearts are happier where she
goes,
A gentle, clear-eyed messenger,
To whisper love-thank God for her.
