MENACE TO TRAFFIC.
REVOLUTIONS MAY INTERRUPT TRADE
ON THE ISTHMUS.
CONFLICTING REPORTS ABOUT THE UP
RISINGS IN VENEZUELA AND
COLOMBIA.

Washington Aug. "A dispatch has been
ceived at the State Department from the United
States Consul at Colon. stating that If the pres
ent revolutionary troubles in that section be-
come more aggravated the traffic across the
isthmus will surely become interrupted. The
United States Government is bound by a treaty
to keep this traffic open TO the world. No
quest for warship to be sent TO the scene of
trouble has been made.
The political situation in the neighhoring re-
pubics Of Venezuela and Colombia. in South
America, and the possibility of war between
these two States are attracting considerable at
tentiOn in diplomatic circles. Should war actu-
ally result. the authorities in each country would
not only have 10 deal with their foreign enemies.
but also with their domestic foes each OF the
countries now has what practically amounts to
civil it's hands.
Neither the Colombian nor the Venezuelan
legation here has much direct information, and
the cable reports exceedingly conflicting.
The officials at the Colombian Legation are at a
loss to understand the report of President Cas-
tro's declaration of martial law on the ground
that his country is being invaded by Colombia.
The revolution headed by DR.. Garviros. who
crossed the Venezuelan border from Colombia.
where he had made refuge. is said to be in no
sense an invasion by COlOmbians. DR.. Garviros
belonged to the party of Andrade. who was over
thrown by Castro, and II is stated IN diplomatic
circles that he is simply heading a rebellion or
Nenezuelans against the latters authority.
No definite information has been received here
regarding the location of General Uribe-Uriee,
who in his turn Is heading movement against
the present government in Colombia from the
Venezuelan side. The last news about him was
that he was at Maracaibo. and had not yet
crossed into Colombia, where IL was supposed
he would attempt TO effect juncture with
Marin, a noted guerilla, who Is still carrying on
a vestige of the last revolution in the noun
tainS O Andes
At the Colombian Legation here the move
ment headed by Tribe Uribe Is not considered
all serious thus far. A report received here
on July % last gave news Of a projected stimuli
taneous invasion of Colombia from Venezuela.
Ecuador and Nicaragua. Nothing has been
heard of the movement since then.

I'm all probahl The announcement to the New
York people that the trip would be made by
the officials tonight. carrying out an arrange
ment entered into at Veryl Preston's rooms IN
the Hotel Henry short time before. AT about
4l5 o. m Messrs Shaffer Williams and Chap
pelle went to Mr.. Prestons rooms and were
closeted with him for about thirty minutes. The
understanding is that at this meeting Mr.. Pres
ton made known the combinations only con-
oessicn in the matter OF reopening the wage
conference where IL left of three weeks age.
This concession was in the shape Of demand
that IL conference is granted ii must be
specifically stated beforehand what is expected
TO be accomplished, what ground is to be COW
cred and what companies are to participate
This brings the matter up to the Amalga-
mated Association. and the mission of its high
officials to New-York is doubtless to convince
the steel people there that new conference Is
essential TO peace and an amicable settlement
OF the strike troubles
The conference to-day was a repetition Of yes
terday, The srrictest kind Of secrecy being main
tanned tie happenings inside the
room, and the progress being made had to be
guessed at.
II is said that before a general strike is or
dered the officers Of the United States Steel Cor
pOration will be fully informed OF the intention
of the Amalgamaied officers If more favorable
terms are not promptly presented for the con-
sideratiOn OF the board. A reasonable time VIII
then be given before the extreme measures
resorted TO by the association.
1t seems almost certain that If the request Of
the ANA gamated Association for another con-
ference Is refused the strike will be extended 10
all the plants controlled by the big Steel Cor
pOration where the Amalgamated Association
has a fOOthOld, and that il VIII be the bitterest
struggle between capital and labor IN
this country. In the big plants of the Federal
Steel Company the National Steel Company
and the National Tube Company all the or
ganized men will be called out and every effort
made to close the mills.
II reported that J. +. Schwab left last
night for New-Yori, but he was in the city this
morning President c. N. Schwab. of the United
States Steel Corporation. reported from
Aew-York TO have left that city last night for
Pittsburg. He had not visited his office at IL
