New York, Sept. 1.-The spirit of
revolution is gaining in force on the 18TH
mus, as the result of the rejection Of
the canal treaty by the Colombian con-
gress at Bogota, says a Times dispatch

Only vigorous action on the part of
the government can prevent an out

it is doubtful whether such action is
possible @.t.. ~. ID
Gen. Huertas, commandant at Fort
Chuiriqui, and virtually the command

the only officer to whom the govern

the canal project. Z.

Robbery Carefully Planned.
The robbery was carefully planned,
and the men showed a perfect familiarity
with the arrangement and workings of
the Office. Every step had evidently been
decided upon in advance, and the details
of the raid fully arranged Each man
had his work to do, and he performed it
without any signs of nervousness The
time chosen was the best suited to their
purpose that could be found, according
to the officials of the company. Saturday
night is always heavy night for the
street car companies, and there is never
less than $4,000 in the Office. The rob
Dery occurred just a1Ler the last con-
ductor of the night run had paid in and
gone home. The calculation of the rob-
bers was so close that the last man to
pay in had not gone half a block from the
barn when he heard the shots fired.
One thousand dollars has. been Of
fered by the Chicago City Railway
company for the arrest and conviction
of the criminals.
Suspects Under Arrest.
Several suspects had been arrested up
to Monday night, and it was announced
by the police that the man who had
planned the robbery was among them,
and that he had made a confession nam
ing his companions in crime The police
would not give out his name. 4 4
