THE COLOMBIAN REVOLUTION
Heavy Fighting Near Colon-Govern-
ment Troops Repulsed

Kingston, ia, August 1.-The British
steamer Texan, Captain Lund, from
Liverpool July 18th for this port, by
way of Colon, has arrived here and
brings confirmation of the reports of
severe fighting along the railroad ten
miles ous of Colon on Sunday and
Monday last The rebels attacked the
government troops with determination
and forced the latter back.
When the steamer left there was
great excitement among the residents
of Colon, who were leaving the city in
alarm. The Colombian government
has found it impossible to get a crew
for the gunboat Namoa. but is placing
guns on board Of her. Her English and
American crew have deserted her to a
man.
Colon. Colombia, August 1.-The re-
three towns is an eXaggeration. The
facts are as follows:
The rebels Friday, Saturday and
Monday, raided. at night time, Gatun,
Bohio and Bosobispo, three small rail-
way stations without military protec-
ton, towards Colon, looting the Chi
neSe shops of provisions, clothing, etc,
and kidnapping several persons, with
drawing Immediately afterwards. One
woman was shot. The government has
since garrisoned the three stations
mentioned and is pursuing the rebels
closely. Four trains are crossing the
road daily. as usual.

The Drawing Ffnished-Many Not
Expected TO Claim Their Lots

Ell Reno, o. T.. August 1.-The draw
ing of winning numbers in the United
States land lottery was concluded to-
day, IL, 900 envelopes having been taken
from the wheels, $500 for each land
district. The crowd about the platform
on which the drawing took place. was
much smaller than on previous days.
Beginning August 9Th, 125 names In
each district will be called daily for
sixty days for the filing of homestead
entries.
The estimate is made by a govern
ment official that in eSch land district
1000 of the $500 numbers will not be
taken in the sixty days because OF
homesteaders who will be disqualified,
or who will leave the country, believ-
ing the tracts to be worthless.
Two thousand claims will be left for
the wagon emigrants and others who
have been in the country for months
and failed to draw a number. At the
end of the sixty days these persons can
go Immediately to their land office
and file, or If they settle upon a home
stead in advance of any other person,
they can remain thereon three months
before filing their entry.
Homestead spectators who register
ed, for the sole purpose of selling their
prize, If they should be winners, are al
ready seeking to sell relinquishments
OF their claims.

declinations and it is understood that
the name OF the person chosen will not
be published until he mas finally ac-
cepted the assignment It was suggest
ed at the department today that Admi-
raj Kimberley's action is not yet final
Secretary Long at his home in Hing
ham, is within an hour or two's run of
Admiral Kimberley's home at West
Newton and the secretary may take
advantage OF that fact to visit the ad-
miral personally and endeavor to have
him reconsider his decision
Captain Parker of counsel for Ad-
miral Schley. continued his work a. the
navy department today, Of scanning the
log books and other records bearing
upon the operations of the West Indian
fleet. He hopes to finish within a week.
He is maintaining a close silence of his
discoveries, If he has made any, and
is evidently an object OF great interest
to the navy officers in the department,
who watch him very closely and use
every precaution to prevent the news
paper men from coming in touch with
him. The log books are ponderous vol
umes and are watched with the most
jealous care at all times. In the pres
ent instance a keen eyed young lieu
tenant watches the turning of every
page Of the volumes to make sure there
shall be no alterations or eXcisionS.
Rear Admiral Kimberley will not be
a member of the Schley court Of in
quiry. His request to be relieved from
the detail on the ground of iil-health
has been granted by the navy depart
ment and the department is now con-
sidering the question of his successor.
1t is, in fact. quite likely that a selec-
ton already has been made, but the
official announcement will be withheld
until the officer selected has been heard
from. 1t is explained in connection
with the acceptance of Admiral Kim
berleys declination that this is the
first time in thirty-nine years that this
officer has requested the department to
relieve him of a duty to which he has
been assigned.

ment on the Eaval controversy, w. j.
Bryan takes the side of Rear Admiral
Schley, giving him credit for the VIC
tory at Santiago, and declaring it a
pity that there should be any contro-

honorable and modest sea fighter, who
successfully led the American forces
in one of the greatest If not the great
est naval battle in the history of the
world
Mr.. Bryan denounces the Maclay his
tory of the struggle, and thinks it
strange that a historian finds it ne

of abuse in dealing with historical

a man who has been the patient vic
tim of the most remarkable series OF

SEVEN PERSONS ARRESTED
On Suspicion of Connection With
Wednesday Nights Train Robbery

Chicago, August 1--Seven suspects
are under arrest in connection with
the hold-up of the Baltimore and Ohio
limited west-bound train last night
thirty-one miles southeast of this city
Three of the prisoners were found how
ering about a camp fire east of Millers,
Ind, not for from the scene of the
hold-up. They gave the names of Nc
Coy, Becker and Israelson. The other
four were taken in at Albion Ind.
There is, apparently, no conclusive ev-
idence against the men. Bloodhounds
taken to the scene early today did not
readily take the trail. owing to the
oil-soaked condition of the track and
roadbed in the vicinity.
A launch has constantly patrolled
Lake Michigan in the hope that the
robbers would attempt to escape in that
direction. Nothing has transpired in
that direction however.

Critical Situation at Tampa

Tampa, Fla, August 1.-The cigar
manufacturers issued a manifesto to-
day declaring they will positively not
again open their factories if they can
not manage their own business. The
Resistencia has declared a boycott on
all unfriendly interests which is par
ticipated in by all unions allied with
this one.
The situation tonight is extremely
critical, and public feeling is at high
pitch.
J. NJ. Mercer, white man convicted
of assaulting little girl, and who was
to have been executed tomorrow, was
respited tonight. The Resistencia
union made the demand for his respite
and this has added to the public in
dignation. There are open threats of
lynching tonight and it is said other
names than Mercer are coupled with
the threats.

A Young Solomon.

A major and surgeon of the army
stationed in the Philippines writes us
that recently, when the chief nurse OF
a small base hospital in Southern Lu-
zon was sent away there was great
struggle among the five nurses remain
ing for the vacant position, which
meant distinct increase in pay. Each
one of the five came to the Office of the
surgeon in charge, to show cause why
she should be appointed chief nurse,
and why none of the Others was en-
titled to that distinction. The young
Solomon in charge was up against it,"
but gave the following decision: Each
one of you must write on a piece of
paper her exact age, and send it sealed
to me. The Oldest woman will be made
chief nurse" There is still vacancy

irrigating BY Hand.

In irrigating his land the farmer
uses many devices. Where running
water is at hand he turns it to ad-
vantage by directing 1t over his fields
in large channels. These are banked
in with clay and subdivided into small.
er and smaller streamlcts, until every
part of the ground has been reached.
II no running water Is found wells
are dug and the water is drawn up
by hand and poured into the main
ditches, which are subdivided into nu-
merous smaller ones. Holes are dug
in which rainwater accumulates, which
is baled out when needed. The rails
ing of this water in most cases. es-
pecially in the vicinity OF Peking, is
done very laboriously by hand.
