demand in Observation-Disclosures
Has Helped Rebels.


Washington. Aug. 29.-Colombia will
formally demand of Nicaragua an ex-
planation in regard to the latter coun-
lrys alleged participation in the rev
oiutloh against the Colombian govern
ment, and back Up her demand with
the most formidable land and naval
force she can muster. as soon as the
present rebel activity on the isthmus
mas peen crushed. Information to this
effect was received from an authori-
tatlve source in Washington to-day.
This intelligence causes considerable
surprise in diplomatic circles, for but
a rev weeks ago it was announced
lnal Mr.. Concha, the Colombian min
lister, and Mr.. Corea. the Nicaraguan
minister. had established an entente
cordlale between their respective gov
ernmentS.
The Colombian officials here, it is
stated, have received information that
arms and ammunition for the Colom-
olan rebels on the isthmus were be-
ing shipped from Corinto. The Colom-
blan legation here had been receiving
reports of this character continually,
ana In view of the arrangement effect
ed with the Nicaraguan minister be-
lore ne left Washington, Senior Concha
lost no time in calling Mr.. Corea's at
tention to the matter.
The latter official replied that Presi-
dent Zelaya would Immediately insti-
tute an investigation to ascertain if
the reports We're we'll founded A
short time ago, however, more reports
were received in Washington to the
effect that Nicaragua still continued
her material support of the revolution
lists on the isthmus, and now Colom-
bia, it is said, finds her patience ex-
hausted, and has decided to present a
formal demand for an explanation.
1t is not anticipated that the affair
will lead to an actual war with Mica
ragua, but nevertheless Colombia is
making preparations to back up her
representations with reinforced army
and navy.

WILL USE THEIR RIFLES.
Goblin Orders Troops to Fire on
Men Who Throw Stones.

Men Who Throw Stones
Philadelphia, Aug. 29-Having ex-
hausted every other means for pre-
serving the peace and in protecting
the non-union men from violence on
their way to and from the mines. Brig.
Gen. Goblin, in command of the troops
now in the coal fields, tonight issued
an order that the soldiers shall shoot
any persons detected in throwing
stones or other missiles, and that if
any mob resist the authority of the
troops, they shall freely use their bay
onets and butts.
The Panther Creek valley has been
in almost continual turmoil this week,
and the troops stationed there have
had a difficult time in protecting the
lives of workmen. Tonight the stu
alton in that valley has improved con-
siderably, and it is hoped by the mill
itary authorities that the lawlessness
and abusive language directed toward
the soldiers will now cease. The other
sections of the coal region are COM
paratively quiet.
The general strike situation remains
unchanged. There is some coal be-
ing shipped, but the quantity is so
small compared with the normal ship
ment that 1t has little or no effect
on the market The fuel now coming
to market is principally washery and
loose coal.

DECENCY DEMANDS QUIET.
Federal OmcehoIdcrs Must Not

Federal OmcehoIders Must Not
Guide Political Machines.
Washington, Aug. 29.-Acting Presi-
dent Foulke Of the Civil Service Com
mission has addressed a communities
ton to all the executive departments
in regard to the part office-h holders may
take in politics. Attention is called
to an order issued by President Cleve-
land containing the following:
THE influence of federal office hold
ers should not be felt in the manipu-
lation of political primary meetings
and nominating conventions. The use
by these officials of their positions
to compass their selection as delegates
to political conventions is indecent and
unfair, and proper regard for
the proprieties and requirements of
official place will also prevent their
assuming the active conduct of politi-
cal campaigns"
The communication states that this
order has never been repealed, but has
been declared by President Roosevelt
to be still in force. In constituting IL,
however, there is distinction, Mr..
Foulke says, to be made between off,
GERS or employees who are in the classi-
fled service and those who are not.
The man in the classified service.
while retaining his right to vote as
he pleases and to express privately his
opinion on all political subjects, should
not take an active part in political
management or political campaigns,
for the same reason that judge or
an army officer is debarred from TAX
ing such part.
In regard to those who are not in
the classified service, the communica-
ton says the limitations are not so
strict, but even in this case officehold-
ers must not use their offices to con-
troll political movements or coerce the
political actions of employees.

Governor Says Proposed Merger or
would BE Contrary to the Law of
the State-NO Question at All as to
SenbOard and Southern Would
Mean a Lessening of Competition,
which Constitution Forbids-Iu-
junction Would Be Sought by Gov
ernOr to Stop Threatened Deal.
Atlanta, Aug. eff the rumored
merging of the Southern, Seaboard Air
Line and Louisville and Nashville
reaches a stage where a fulfilment
seems probable, Gov. Gambler will take
q hand in the matter and use such
measures as may be in the power of
the state to prevent it, so far as Geor-
gia is concerned.
He stated to-day that he had read
the accounts of the merger and con-
sidered it clearly illegal and opposed
10 the constitutional law of the state
in the case of the Southern and Sea-
board" said Gov. Gambler, the law
would be perfectly plain, think. They
are clearly competitors, and merger
or consolidation would mean a lessen
ing of competition, which the consti-
tuition expressly forbids.'
Gov. Gambler said that if the merger
should be attempted in this state be-
tween the roads, the only way to pro-
coed against the roads would be
through an injunction. Both roads are
operated under charters received in
other states, and it would not be pos
sible to proceed against them on the
grounds of FORGETTING charter rights.
1t is said the attorney general will
be asked regarding the laws of the
state that would govern the reported
merger.
