COLOMBIA MAKES READY.
VIII Invade Nicaragua In Order to Hold
Both Canal Routes.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Whatever
doubt existed in Nicaragua as to the
intention Of Columbia to carry out her
threat to attack her as soon as her
own revolutionary movement had
been checked has been removed by
the receipt of advices of semiofficial
character here that the Colombian
army officers at Panama and Colon
are steadily but quietly making ready
for an invasion of Nicaragua.
It is stated further that there is a
double reason for the attack. In the
first place, Colombia wishes to take
forcible possession Of the Mosquito
strip, which would control both routes
available for an Isthmian canal, and
SO enable her to make her own terms;
and secondly, she must find congenial
employment for the Colombian sol
diers who have been fighting rebels
for four years, and cannot now be
easily turned to ways of peace, and
would, it is feared. start a new revo-
luton il not allowed an outlet for
their energies outside of Colombia.
The advices are to the effect that
the officials in Managua are seriously
disturbed at the outlook and are cast
ing about for means to avert the at
tack by Colombia.

THREAT TO RENEW STRIKE.
Coke Brothers Miners Demand ReinstaII-
ment of Union Men.

New York, Dec. 17.-More than A.
600 miners at Drifton, near Hazelton,
will go out on strike unless their en-
ployers adjust grievances they COM
plain of, says dispatch from Scran-
ton to the Press. The shipment of
coal to New York will be decreased
10000 tons day If this strike is de-
clared. The dissatisfied miners are
employed by Coke Bros. & Co., the
large Independent operators. They
say that the company has repeatedly
refused to re-employ all its union
miners.
District Presidents Duffy, Fahey and
Nichols, who are in this city, have
had conference regarding the ques-
tion. Duffy upholds the attitude of
the Drifton miners, but the other dis
triet presidents, together with their
attorney representing the miners be-
fore the strike commission, are doing
their utmost to prevent suspension
of work. They belive that the action
of the Drifton miners in declaring a
strike before they see whether the
commissions intend to protect their
rights in their decision will have a
bad effect.

Germany Accepts Americas Protest.

Berlin, Dec. 1S.-Secretary Hays
note excepting American ships from
certain restrictions of the Venezuelan
blockade is favorably received by the
German Government. The Foreign
Office treats the matter as not rails
ing any essential difficulty as being
without precedent, since Germany
made a similar reservation in the
Cretan blockade. The precise status of
American vessels under the blockade
will be defined in an official notifica-
tion.
Minister Bowen's communication to
Germany through the United States
Government in behalf of President
Castro, received here yesterday was
simple proposal to arbitrate the
question in dispute, and was not ac-
companied by any conditions.

New York, Dec. 1S.-Secretary Hay
has cabled to Ambassador Tower, at
Berlin, says the Worlds correspond
ent at Washington, to ask the Ger
man government to define for this
country exactly what is meant by a
peaceful blockade"
Although it has not been put into
public expression, this government
contends tnat there is no such thing
as a peaceful blockade" II state
of war does not exist this government
will contend, at the proper time, that
United States ships must be allowed
to pass.
The test will come when the Red D
Line steamer Caracas arrives at La
Guayra, probably next Saturday. If
that ship goes through, as it is ex-
pected it will, other ships from other
nations will also demand TO go
through. and the peaceful blockade"
will become a farce.
II Germany insists on its right to
blockade peaceably and refuse to let
American ships through, then Ad-
miral Dewey's fleet will be sent to
Venezuela to convoy the American
ships through the German and English
lines. Admiral Dewey has been told
to keep his feet together. The rea-
son this government makes this de
mand of Germany Is because it has
in writing in black and white, the
fullest statement of Germany's inten-
tions in Venezuela. II has no such
statement from England. The diplo-
mats of that country were shrewd
enough to make only a verbal state
ment of intent.
The Administration is awaiting Ger
many's answer with some anxiety.
The situation is now more critical
than il has been since the trouble be-
gan.

$3.50, 900 is finished product and the re-
mainder in buildings and machinery.
A strong wind was blowing over the
burning pile toward the Offices and the
machine shop. Fear that these, too,
might be doomed caused a call for help
to be sent to New Philadelphia. The
fire engines from that city rendered
good service. The offices, machine
shops, galvsnizing department and the
mills on the east side are all that re-
main of this great paint.
The loss is partially covered by in
surance. A dozen railway cars stand
ing at tracks were consumed.

coined in Most Places.

Denver, Dec. 1.-THE entire Rocky
Mountain region from Northern Wyom.
ing to Southern New Mexico has been
visited by a storm during the past SO
hours. The ground in the plateau
section is covered to a depth of six
inches, while the fall in the noun
tains has been much heavier. The
greater portion Of the precipitation
fell yesterday and last night. Today
about two inches Of snow fell during
the morning in most sections Of Colo
RADIO, but tonight the weather has
cleared. No snow fell In Western Wy
oming today, although around Chey-
enne and in the resien Immediately
north of there light snowfall was ex-
perienced. In Southern New Mexico
light rainfall was reported, with snow
in the north. In some parts OF Colo
rado, particularly in the San Luis val
ley in the south, the snow was the
heaviest for years.
For the past three years drouth has
visited the San Luis valley, and the
present moisture has brought rejoicing,
assuring as it does good conditions for
next years crops. Railroad traffic is
experiencing no serious interruption
as result Of the storm, because Of the
fact that the snow drifted but little.
For the same reason there is no fear for
the safety of stock on the ranges, and
no losses have been reported. The
storm originated in Arizona, and the
temperature at no time has been un.
comfortably cold.

As Leopold, the king of the Belgians,
was leaving the royal train at the sta
tion at Laken, two shots we're fred at
him, although neither took effect.
It is not known whether the shots
where fred by an assassin or by poach-

with the king becasue Of his cruel treat
ment of his daughter, the Princess

lieved to have been a deliberate at
tempt to kill him, and much excite
ment prevails.
The guards that surround the king
have been doubled.

to quietly usurp Patos Island and
other valuable acquisitions in the
neighborhoOd Of the OrinOco river.

Butte, Mont, Dec. 1S,-It is stated
on what appears to be good author

organized in Butte to go to Venezuela.
1t is said, at least, that an alleged

concerning a party of Montana fill
busters, who are organizing to go to
Venezuela. is really based upon fact.
A number of Butte men have
already enlisted. The men conduct
ing the scheme are keeping it quiet,
but it is said at least one well-armed
company, all crack-shots, and old
mountain men, will go South in few
days. A number of Spanish war vet
Grams and several veterans of the
Fenian invasion of Canada are among
the men enlisted.

The city of Lynn, Mass. having been
greatly afflicted by scourage of caterpil-
lars last summer, its board of trade insti-
tuted a crusade of school children against
the pests. 1t offered prizes Of money to the
school whose scholars should gather the
greatest number of the nests of the brown
tail moth to the school which should
gather the next greatest number, and to
the school which should bring in the third
largest number, also an extra prize to the
room representing the greatest number
the prizes aggregating less than $75. At the
close of school last Friday the children
had destroyed 62S,1O3 nests, and as there
are at least thousand of the small cater
pillars in each nest, the children have
gathered CPS. 900 of the moths, which
have been burned in the furnaces of the
various schoolhouses. So thoroughly have
the boys and girls secured the city that 1t
is expected that few nests will remain
when the forces are withdrawn. The
money is to be used to decorate the school
rooms: and the children seem to have we'll
earned it.
