EACH ACCUSING THE OTHER.
and Colombia Indulge in
 RAcriminations

Colon. Colombia. Dec. 26.-Newspapers just received here from coast towns In Colombia and Venezuela have much to say about the present status of the Reconsideration imbroglio.
 The gist of these various newspaper articles Is that each republic is still re- eliminating the other for permitting the mastering of arms, troops. ammunition, etc.. and the actual inv asion of the other territory in alleged violation of the laws governing the relations of friendly nations. These newspapers contain no news of declaration of war by either Colombia or Venezuelia. They set forth that the policy of Colombia Is one of readiness to meet any emergency; hence she will make continued efforts to in- crease the number of troops now on the Venezuelan frontier.
 The Colombian Eunboat General Pinzon, with 700 troops on board. has left here for Rio Haeha. It Is reported from the in- terior of Colombia that there has been no recent serious fighting there. A few liberal insurgents were found near Honda on the Magdalena River. They were easily defeated and dispersed by the gov ernment troops
 The Colombian conservative general Castro. considering 1t next to impossible to surround the liberal leader Lorenzo and his followers who are now in La Negrita mountains, has come to the con- clusion that the governments best policy is to garrison the interior towns strongly in the neighborhood of the liberal retreat. thus cutting off Lorenzos supplies and ultimately forcing him to surrender.
 General Castro is an old Indian fighter. He has campaigned in the Guajira penin- sula and in the Colombian department of Cauca. He is familiar with the Indian tactics of warfare used by Lorenzo.

Terrific Heat il Preparing England
for Another Inyasion

For nation reputed to be sagacious
and reflective we are curiously childish
in our attitude to the British climate.
Year by year we have our week or two
of parched earth and glaring sun. We
make no provision for the heat invasion.
Our clothes are too heavy, our food is too
stodgy, our rooms are insufficicntly ven
tilated. Sun-blinds are the eccentricity
of the exceptional householder; an ice
safe is the luxury of the wealthy. There
is is no profit to be had out of railing at
the purveyors of ice; they must adjust
their supplies to the regular demand of
the market, and inasmuch as the average
London citizen only calls for ice when
the thermometer gives it's casual iump
above 80 in the shade, the retailer can
not be blamed if his stock runs out and
he cannot replenish it at an hours notice.
We may learn in the course OF a genera
ton or two that heat is to be expected
in July and August, and that it is a
counsel OF common prudence TO be pre-
pared for it.
Already, in our own times, straw hats
in the city have been recognized, flame:
suits tolerated, people dare to take off
their coats in the stands of cricket
ground. Ultimately we may reach the
point Of preparing for the invasion of thu:
sun, as we are trying to prepare for the
possible invasion of a continental army.
and life in London will be easier to bear
during our occasional heat spells.-Lon-
don ExnreSS
