 During the day many telegrams were received at the association conference rooms the last coming just before ad- journment, and 1t was promptly answer ed. This answer was in all probability the announcement to the New York peo- ple that the trip would be made by the officials tonight, carrying out an arrange ment entered into at Veryl Preston's room in the Hotel Henry a short time before.
 About 4:15 D. m. Messrs Shaffer, Wfl- Hams and Chappelle went to MT. Pres toms rooms and were closeted with him for about thirty minutes. The under standing is that at this meeting MT. Pres ton made known the combinations only concession in the matter of reopening the wage conference where It was left OH three weeks ago. This concession was in the shape of demand If the new con- ference is granted 1t must be specifically .+o+aa beforehand what Is expected to be accomplished, what ground is to be cov- cred and what companies are to particf- pate.

Report Says That General Uribe-Urlbe Went to Venezue.a Frontier and Met About 5000 Troops-Mln-
 ister of War Resigns.

New York, August 2.-Venezuela is again on the eve of a revolution and not only Is that unfortunate republic approaching a state of civil war, but serious compli- cations will in all probability arise be- tween the governments of Venezuela and Colombia, says the Port of Spain, Trini- dad, correspondent of the Herald. Presi- dent Castro, while facing the uprising against his own authority. is also accused of furthering secretly the revolution against the Colombian government.
 Arms, ammunition and the other ac- cessories of war have been quietly snug gled into Venezuela through the water ways of the republic and the first engage ment is expected to be the signal for up- risings in several widely separated dis tricts
 General Castro Is expected to again assert his power by placing a strict cen sorship on all telegraphic dispatches from that country as well as ordering a close scrutiny of all matters passing through the general postoface in Caracas.
 To add to the seriousness of the situa- tion in Venezuela itself. it is well known in the adjoining Republic of Colombia that a very strong feeling of resentment against the Castro government exists on account of what is considered serious breach of international law on the part of Venezuela for it's alleged recognition of. if not actual assistance to the leaders
 of the revolutionary party of Colombia Assisted Colombian Rebels. It is even. said that not only has the Venezuelan government permitted it's ports to be used by the Colombian revo- lutioaists as a base for the collection of supplies, but it has winked at, If not actually assisted. the Colombian revolu- tionists with certain articles of war.
 A report has been current here that Gen. eral Rafael Uribe-Uribe from Antioquia, Republic of Colombia, arrived in Caracas several days ago under the name of "Seaor Victor and had an interview of aobut three hours with General Castro. He went to Laguawra soon afterward aud proceeded on board the Venezuelan gun- boat Augusto, the name of which has been changed to Zumbador. He fouui It well supplied with munitions of war and started immediately for Maracaibo, where he met about three thousand troops on tEe frontier between Venezuela and Calom- bia, ready to act at once in the invasion of Colombian territory. Within twenty four hours another dispatch was receivsd here that he Colombian government had discovered the plan laid down by General Uribe after his consultation with General Castro and that 5000 Colombian soldiers had been sent out to meet the invaders.
