SIDES.


Colon, Dec. !. = Capt. Perry of the
United States battleship Iowa arrived
yesterday with battalion of marines
from Panama.
The Liberal force here surrendered

pied the Quartet Pier. Gen. Alban,

Gen. De la Rosa, the Liberal chief,
subsequently surrendered his sword to
Gen. Alban. The American marines,
who were occupying the quartet, We're
then withdrawn, with the exception of
detachment which remains to guard
the property of the Panama Railroad
company. The Iowa's men have re-.
turned to Panama. Colon is now quiet.
1t is estimated that the losses on
both sides in the various fights We're
400 men killed ard wounded. Some liz
significant fighting occurred at Bohio
Thursday morning, when the Liberals
made last stand. Gen. Francisco
Castro was wounded in the engage
mefft at Buena Vista. 1t was at first

STEADILY LEADING TO A CRISIS
DEFIANT ATTITUDE IN DIPLO-
MATIC RELATIONS WITH
OTHER NATIONS.
USE OF FORCE MAY Be NECESSARY
UNITED STATES, GERMANY AND
COLOMBIA HAVE GREW
ANCES.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The contempt-
uous disregard by the present radical
government of Verezuela for the rights
of foreigners in that country and its
defiant attitude in diplomatic inter-
course with other nations is steadily
leading up to a crisis which, in the
opinion of well-informed persons here,
cannot be long delayed.
The United States, Germany and CO.
lombia have scores to settle with Gen.
Castro, the president Of the republic,
who gained his present position by
force of arms and is apparently seek
ing to reunite all factions in his coun-
try through an appeal to their patriot
ism to stand firm against alleged for
eign aggression. In refusing at this
critical period in her affairs, to resume
diplomatic relations with Venezuela,
the government of Colombia has
Thrown Down the Challenge
Which may precipitate conflict that
will mean either Castro's overthrow or
his assumption of greater power than
he now holds. Men here who have been
observing the situation carefully with
q better knowledge of what is going on
than is possessed by the press and
people of the United States look for Il
clash at an early day that will make
the turning point in the fortunes of
Castro.
The difficulties between the United
States and Venezuela were practically
coincident with the assumption of the
presidency by Castro. His attitude
toward this government in the asphalt
controversy was regarded by the Unit
ed States as defiant and almost insult
ing. That Castro has been encourage
ing the efforts to overthrow the present
Conservative government of Colombia
is generally believed here. Colombia's
notice to Venezuela that she will not
Resume Diplomatic Relations
has Eeen confirmed to the state de-
partment in q telegram received yes
terday from Mi. Hart, the United
States Minister &: l5ogota, and, while
this does not .cessarily mean that
conflict will 2':Eow, it places the two
republics in relations even more deli
cate than have heretofore existed.
Castro is threatened from still anoth-
er quarter This government has not
been unmindful of the tone of the Ger
man press on the question of Ger
many's claims against Venezuela One
newspapers utterances, believed to be
inspired, was that Germany's only
hesitation in sending warships to Ven
ezuela to make the country pay its in
debtedness to German concerns came
from the fear of running afoul of the
Monroe doctrine. There is reason to
believe that the administration is
aware that the Berlin ministry is even
considering the matter with a view to
action.

Weekly Market Letter.

The following l..alket letter Is fur
nished by Edwards, Wood & Co., grain
end stock brokers. s Chamber Of Com
merce, Minneapolis, Mimi, 80 Board
of Trade, Duluth.
Nov. 22.-The strong market for all
grain, eliminating on Friday of last
week, has been followed by decline of
cents per bushel for wheat and about
l cent for corn. So far this week, sent
iment has been mixed and the mar
ket very nervous The weakness a
week ago Tuesday, and again since Fri
day of last week, has been on account
Of larger Western primary receipts of
wheat and smaller exports than hereto
fore. Western primary receipts for last
week averaged over 1,00O 900 bushels a
day, and are over 100000 bushels for
five days Of this week. Receipts are
expected to continue large, as it is said
to be easier to get cars now than it has
been. The worlds visible supply in
creased last week over 100000 bush
els, compared with an increase of less
than 100000 bushels for the CORE
spending week last year. Foreigners
are said to have been buying Canadian
Wheat, which, 1t is claimed is cheaper
than ours, but prices are again on an
export basis for our wheat. The de-
mand in the South and West for corn
continues at prices over Chicago. Corn
advanced cent and oats 1-2 cent to-
day.
There have been reports of drought in
the winter wheat districts and danger
of damage from freezing weather. It
Is said stock water is very scarce in
many districts, and is being hauled for
miles. To-day there are reports of
rains from Dakota and south to the
Gulf.
Russian officials report large short
ages in all grain crops. There is an IS
timated shortage of 56,0OO,OOO bushels in
the French crop. The Italian cabinet
has agreed to an abatement Of the du-
ties on flour and provisions. Weather
conditions in Argentina are better, and
the linseed crop will be 100000 bush
els larger than last year. There are
reports Of increased wheat feeding in
the United States, England and on the
continent.
