ACTIVE POSSIBILITIES
Are About To Begin Between Nene-
Zurla and Colombian


Washington, Dec. IS.-Semi-o
advices received here Indicate that
active hostiiities are about TO begin
between Colombia ana Venezuela.
The delay III proceeding to extremes
has been largely caused by the lack
of a suitable stock OF arms and ammu-
milton by the Colombian government.
This is about to be remedied The
news that. comes now is to the effect
that the British steamer Ban Righ
which recently occasioned suspicion
by loading large cargo of arms in
European waters supposedly intended
for the Beers in Africa. really was
chartered by the Colombian govern
ment. She is now very near Colon
and the advice is to the effect that
when her cargo is distributed among
the Colombian troops hostilities will
begin between Colombia and Vene-
Zuela.
