When the Rain Is Over.

And the golden sunshine

All the earth is fairer.

When the shown is over,

Brighter shines the sun!

Never mind the bruises.

Thank you, little tears!"

his present mission is"1simply preliminary
to a more important appointment. II
General Wood, who Is the most inti-

will not sbe appoint ed head OF the COM
mission to supervise the building of the
Panama canal The president has other
plans for the general, plans of a military
character, more to the taste of the lat
ter. According to these plans, General
Wood will be designated as president Of
the new commission which the president
will appoint to reorganize the army, This
commission will not be named until next
year, probably after the retirement of
Lieutenant General Nelson "A. Miles, the
commanding officer of the army:
Under the laws General Miles will be
eligible for retirement next. year. His
retirement will pave the way for the

The first step will be the appointment
of General Wood as the head of the new
army, commission where he will have.sa
chance to demonstrate the qualities which
the president believes him toe possess. E
The one ambition of General Wood is
to become the head of the army. He has
made no secret Of this fact and will well
come his designation as the ranking of

him an opportunity to- show that he has

New York, July 29.-Peace negotia-
tions which have been in progress in this
city for the last week between General
Pampilio Gutierrez, of the Colombian gov
eminent, and General Gabriel Vargas SAM
tos, chief of the revolution in Colombia,
have come to an abrupt end, and, accord
ing to the Tribune, the insurrection which
for nearly three years has existed In
Colombia must continue. -
General Gutierrez, chief Of. the. gov
ernment army at Panama, who arrived
from Panama week ago, came, 1t is
stated, as the. special emissary Of Pres
ident Marroquin to negotiate treaty OF
peace with General Vargas Santos. There
had been several conferences between the
generals and so we'll had plans toward
pacifcation advanced that Generals Cult
errez and Santos were to have sailed to-
day for Panama. =, .-...' .'... .-...~.
However. General Gutierrez received a
dispatch from Governor Salazar, of the
province of Panama, announcing battle
at Aqua Dulce between the government
and the rebel forces. Thereupon he gave
notice that all negotiations were off for
the present at least. He gave as his
reason that he could not continue the con-
ference while there was state of actual
warfare. ..a .-..tS -, t.
