[EADERSANTO
IN NEW YORK
TALKS WAR
LIBERAL LEADER SAYS He.
WILL EVENTUALLY OVER
THROW CONSERVATIVE GOV
EMINENT IN COLOMBIA.

NEW YORK, June l6.-General Gabriel
Vargas Santos, head of the Liberal party
OF Colombia and leader of the Liberal
army now engaged in trying to overthrow
the Conservative party. which is in pos
session OF the government, is IN this city.
The exact nature Of the generals business
here has not been definitely. learned, but
It is believed he came north to confer with
HIS chief Of staff, General Focion Soto. on
the progress of the revolution In the Pam
ANA province and in the Casamere terri
tory.
Speaking OF events in Colombia, he said:
If our troops can conquer in the 18th
mus Of Panama we shall be able to make
much better progress against the Con-
servative forces. We have many armed
men in the CASHMERE and San Martin
territories, in the Magdalena provinces.
If we had Panama we would be able TO
raise sufflcient funds to end the war in our
favor. At present we need war ships in
the Atlantic in order to take Cartagena
and Barranquilla. Now we can get arms
and ammunition only through Venezuela
and through the Orinoco river.
I'VE are suffering from some of the re-
cent victories of our opponents, but their
successes are only temporary and In no
way disheartening to us. We are called
rebels when we are real patriots who are
fighting to obtain our share in the govern
ment and the initiation Of reforms which
would make our country progressive.
I'VE are fighting for principles. We DO
not wish completely to drive the conserv-
atives from power, but we insist that our
party be allowed its proper representa-
ton in the chamber of deputies. Since
1885 we have not been represented, except
by two men, though we are half the pop
ulation. We advocate modern monetary
standards. We have cried out for years
for a system of education which will
bring our children up to higher appre-
citation of life. We have fought for Inn
provement in our national life, and II we
can gain adequate representation In our
parliament we shall begin at once on
these changes The foreigners with inter
ests in Colombia, and all the progressive
people of the island, are with us. OF
course, the Panama canal is great rae
tor in the present war.
General Santos Is 20 years old. he has
been fighting since 1884 and has taken part
In twenty-five battles.

|LUKETSANDERS GIVEN RESPITE Will Not Be Executed
 Friday. HE KU LED A WHITE MAN Supreme Court Judge Asks
 for Clemency. From Evidence Adduced They Say Negro Should Not Have Been Given Death Sentence by
 the Jury-other Cases.

Luke Sanders, negro under sentence of death in Perry County for the murder of Q white man, will not be hanged Fri day, the day set for his execution. Upon recommendation of the Pardoning Board. the Governor granted d respite until March G.
 At the meeting of the Pardoning Board yesterday morning, the following com munication, signed by all the Judges of the Supreme Court to the Governor, was read:
 ITO the Governor: On the evidence ad- duced on the trial of Luke Sanders, and which was brought before us on his ap- peal, we are of opinion that the extreme penalty of the law should not be visited upon him. We. therefore, recommend the communication of the sentence of death imposed upon him to one of imprison- meht."
 After the reading of the above commit nication and the consideration of ether evidence. the Board recommended that the Governor give. the condemned man a respite.
 The following order was forwarded to the Sheriff of Perry County by the Gov ernor:
 Whereas, at the December term, 1sc1, of the Circuit Court held for the county of Perry, Luke Sanders was convicted of the crime of murder and sentenced to death on February ', 1902.
 And, whereas, for divers good and suf- ficient reasons. 1t appears to me that the said Luke Sanders is a fit subject for executive clemency
 Now, therefore, I, William D. Jelks, Governor of the State of Alabama, by virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution and laws of the State of Alabama. do by these presents hereby respite the said Luke Sanders, and sus- pend execution of his sentence until March 0, 19G2" "
 Sanders killed William Mullins, white man. in Perry County, and was tried and convicted at the May term of court and sentenced to death. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, where the judg- ment was affirmed Application for new | hearing was made by attorneys, but was overruled.
 In the application for executive clem- ency. the attorneys of the condemned man aver that he was not guilty of mur- der in the first degree; that he was a | negro and that deceased was a white 1 man of some influence and with many friends; that there was much feeling against the negro in the county where he was tried and convicted. and that the yer dict of the jury in the case was contrary to the evidence as shown by the records in said case. and under this evidence he is entitled to pardon or to a commuta- ton of sentence.
 Several other applications were taken up by the Pardoning Board but action was deferred until today.
