Menasha, Wis, Aug. 27-George A.
Thurston, an employe of the Appleton
Printing and Paper company, believed
by his wife to have been killed on
the battle field thirty-seven years ago,
has reclaimed the woman whom he
had married nearly four decades ago,
after she had been, as she believed,
twice left widow. Thurston enlist
ed with the 43d Ohio regiment during
the civil war and was reported killed.
When he returned to his home in
Canton he found his wife gone, and
had since mOurned her as dead. One
week ago in La Crosse Thurston met
his wife who had just buried second
husband. Within a few hours after
the reunion the two went before

URGES CONTINUATION OF WAR
FARE IN COLOMBIA.
Uribe-Uribe Would Have Followers
Fight Until 1904, When Right of
Canal Company Expires-CoIom-
bian Officials Admit Illegally of
ranchise-Country Quieting.

Washington, Aug. 27.-A proclama-
lion which has been issued by General
Tribe Tribe, one of the leaders OF
the revolution in Colombia, urging his
followers to continue the warfare
against the government forces until
1904, when, he declares, the franchise
Of the Panama canal company will be
invalid and negotiations can be car
ried on directly between Colombia
and the United States, is regarded
and South American diplomatic quar-
ters here The officials of the Colon
bian legation admit the six years eX-
tension to the Panama company,
granted by former Pres4uent San
Clemente, is open to a question of
legality for the reason that, while it
was approved by the Colombia cab
met, it was not ratified by the Colon
bian congress. Indeed, it is stated
here that the proposed extension was
not even submitted to the Colombian
legislature, the country being in such
a disturbed condition, which preclud-
ed the calling together of that body.
However, the Colombian officials
here point out that the questioned ex
tension of time has nothing whatever
to do with the present negotiations
between the United States and Colon
bia in regard to the canal. No one in
Colombia, they state, questions for
moment the validity Of the franchise
up to 1904 The intervening time
they consider ample for the clearing
of the title by the French company,
and the transfer of it's rights to the
United States. The extension of the
franchise, they claim, will not enter
into the matter at all. The officials
are inclined to scott at the idea that
revolution of sufficient strength to
prevent the government from carry
ing out it's plans in regard to the ca
nal, can be kept up until 1904.
A caDlegram as just been received
from President Maroquin, stating that
the interior of Colombia is entirely
quiet. The only disturbance, barring
troubles on the isthmus, being in
Magdalena, near the Venezuelan fron,
tier. The latter movement, however,
is in portion of the country so re-
mote from it's heart as to give the Off
Gals at BOgOta no concern.
Senior COncha, the Colombian min
lister here, has furnished the officials
at Bogota with a number of modifica-
tons which Secretary Hay has pro-
posed in the terms of the canal treaty.
These notifications, it is stated here,
have not been received with disfavor
at the Colombian capital, and the
officials are confident they will be
agreed to.

DECIDES
IN SCHLEY'S APPEAL
Neither He Nor Sampson De-
serve Special Credit.
HRooKLYN's LOOP GRAVE ERROR

Barring That, the President Says
schley Did Well, but Sampson Was
Technically In command-He Con
siders Wainwright's Act Heroic.
Washington, Feb 20.-The decision
of President Roosevelt on the appeal
OF Rear Admiral Schley was given tC
the press last night.
The salient features of the presi
dents decision in the case follow:
All the accusations against Schley
based on his conduct prior to the bat
tie of Santiago, are thrown out The
president holds that if Admiral Schley
erred during that period his offenses
were condoned by his retention as sec
ond in command.
On the question of command the
president says:
Technically, Sampson commanded
the fleet and Schley, as usual, the
western division. The actual fact is
that after the battle was joined not a
helm was shifted, not a gun was fired
not pound of steam was put on in
the engine room aboard any ship ac-
lively engaged in obedience to the or
der of either Sampson or Schley, save
on their own two vessels. 1t was a
captains fight"
Sampson was hardly more than
technically in the fight. His only claim
for credit rests upon his work as
commGSder in chief in planning to
meet the Spanish ships when they
should come out
Schley is entitled as is Captain
Cook, to the credit for what the Brook
lyn did in the fight On the whole, the
president finds that the Brooklyn did
well. though he considers the vessels
loop the zone grave mistake" made
by any American ship during the bat
tie.
The president considers that the
most striking act of battle was that
of the Gloucester, whose commander,
Wainwright, pushed into the fight
through a hail of projectiles in order
that he might do his part in destroy
ing the two torpedo boats For this
conduct Wainwright was entitled to
receive more than any other com
mander with the possible exception of
Clark. Of the Oregon.
1t was just to Admiral Sampson that
he should receive greater advance
in numbers than Admiral Schley.
There was nothing done in the battle
that warranted any unusual reward
for either.
There is no excuse whatever from
either side for any further agitation of
this unhappy controversy. To keep it
alive would merely do damage to the
navy and to the country.
