Precedent for Pronunciamento.
In regard to the pronunciamento

necessary to go back to the prece-
dent Of 1874. when the Spanish govern

invited their capture by foreign ma

An admiral OF the German navy re-
sponded, succeeded in making capture.
and took his prize to a German port.
There he went before an admiralty
court. seeking to have his capture de-
clated a prize. In its ruling the court
not only ordered the ships released.
but severely censured the admiral for
breach of international law.
Fren were not this a sound principle

governments in Haiti follow each other

ARE NOT CRUSHED
Vargas Santos Tells Why
He Rejected Overtures.
ASKED GOVERNMENT PLEDGE
Says Revolution Is Justified by Peo-

clares Terms Will Be Accepted Des-

NEW YORK, July 26.-Gen. Gabriel
Vargas Santos. the accepted leader OF
the Colombian Liberals. who for the
past thirty months have waged bitter
war against the government of President
Marroquin. explained today in an inter-
proposals made to him by the Colombian
minister at Washington. DR.. Concha.
THE propositions made by the Colom-
bian government" said General Vargas
Santos, were:
First, general amnesty. which Is the
usual and natural conclusion OF wars
in civilized countries, and as such can
not be considered as concession. but
merely as rec ognition of natural right.
"Second-The reforms OF he election
law in this sense, that the subdivision
of the country in election districts shall
be made equitably and in a manner safe
guarding the political rights Of all Lib
erals, which Is a confession that these
rights heretofore had been denied them.
''Third-The holding OF general elec-
ton for the naming of members of Con-
gress. something which the government
must do, anyway. since there exists at
present no parliament; and.
No New Concession.
"Fourth-A promise that the vice pres

was demanded at the time by the entire
population and is no new concession.
Terms of this severity might be eX-
pected and acceded to If those TO whom
they are submitted were crushed be-
yond hope and vanquished. But such is
not the case. The government has ex-
aggerated the disasters suffered by our
troops in the interior of the republic.
but the cause of the revolution Is not
lost. Gen. Focion Soto, generalissimo
of the Liberal armies In the field, is liz

resistance to those Of the government.
And the Pacific coast is almost entirely
in our possession. We hold the prov
inces of Casanare and San Martin, and
have important detachments of troops
in the provinces of Tolima, Santander.
and Cauca.
THE revolution is justified by the
very people who are fighting 1t. For
the past seventeen years we have been
denied our rights. l assume the re-
sponsibility of my refusal to accept less

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., July 20
President Charles NJ. Schwab. of the
United States Steel Corporation, was
taken suddenly i'll in his carriage here
this evening
Mr.. Schwab was taken Ill when driv-
ing with his mother and sister on the
Speedway. He was stricken in the car
riage and was hastily driven to his
home. DR.. Phillip Marvel. who was
called. found that the steel magnate
was in no danger of a collapse. He
could not be induced to talk Of the case.
but at the cottage 1t was stated that
the case was one of overworked nerves.
probably nervous prostration.
A Sudden Attack.
The suddenness of the attack Is to
be inferred from the fact that this aft
ernoon Mr.. Schwab was found BY some
CT his acquaintances strolling on the
promenade and to all outward appear
ances was in good health. He had just
steam yacht, which had braced up his
physical system, which had been strained
by the cares of the great concern of
which he is the head.
Late In the afternoon a drive about
the city was proposed, and, accompanied
by his sister and mother, Mr.. Schwab
started out. They had driven about for
an hour, and at his own suggestion the
coachman was instructed to turn the
horses toward Chelsea, on the road
known as the Longport Speedway. a
stone road level almost as a floor. and
skirting the ocean for five miles.
The road is used exclusively for the
enjoyment of the fashionables and the
lovers OF good horsefesh. Not more
than mile had been covered when Mr.,
schwab complained of feeling Ill. and
turning to his sister, told her to have
the driver to hurry home.
Was in Good Spirits.
Up to this time Mr.. Schwab had been
joking and laughing with his mother and
sister, and neither had noticed the
slightest approach OF Illness, nor had he
complained in the least since he had
greeted the members of his family on
his arrival. The carriage was hastily
driven home, and upon its arrival Mr..
Schwab was - weak that 1 had to
be helped by two of the servants from
the household from the curb to the door
way
There he rested for short time and
was then taken to his room and Dr. Mar
vel was summoned AS soon as tbs
physician arrived Mr.. Schwab was given
a sedative and q few hours later it was
said at the house that although the ner-
vous attack had been severe one Mr.,
Schwab was resting comfortably.
