The Crater of Mount Elm.

A writer in Forest and Stream. tel.
Ing of his view of the crater of Mount
Etna. says: | threw myself fiat upon
The ground with my head over the rim
and took a look down into what the
Sicilians call the mouth of he'll. A
vast column of steam was shooting lp
into the heavens. This was so impreg-
mated with sulphurous fumes that was
obliged to keep several thicknesses of
my shawl over my mouth and nose to
prevent strangulation. Occasionally n
blast of wind would drive back the
steam. allowing me to see far down
into this horrid inferno The crater
itself is three miles in circumference.
The inner side of the rim was varie-
gated with colors of red, orange and
yellow from the sulphur fumes A MIL
ton or Dante could not do justice to
the terrific grandeur Of the scene Ac-
cording to the ancient Greeks and
Romans this Is the workshop Of Vul-
can, where he FORCES his thunderbolts
for Jove could not see the old follow,
but the rumbling sound I heard far
down in those black depths must have
been he grumbling at his work.

WILL TRY TO PREVENT WAR.
Powers of Europe are Interesting
Themselves in Colombia.


Washington, Dec. 22.-Diplomatic
Colombia by several European powers
to prevent war between that country
and the United States. The first step
in this direction already has been taken
by several foreign powers thru their
representatives here who have inform
ed General Reyes of the futility of any
attempt by Colombia to retake Pana-
ma, declaring that it will result only
in precipitating the Bogota govern
ment into war with the United States
and have said to him that the result
of such a catastrophe Colombia herself
must realize. If this Is not sufficient
the representatives of these countries
at Bogota will be instructed to inform
President Marroauin that he can ex-
pect no sympathy from the European
powers If she makes a war upon Pan
anna, which involves her in war with
the United States.
The members of the diplomatic corps
have been informed by General Reyes
himself that he fears he can with diff
ffculty check his people much longer
General Reyes is not talking for pub
LEGATION but to several European am
hassadors he has confided his fears
with frankness and has said that he is
doing everything in his power to pre-
vent an outbreak before the conclusion
of his mission, but that although his
influence with the army is considerable
he is so far away that it is difficult
for him to make this felt as strongly

Grant for Chief of staff.

Washington Dec. 22.-Senator Wa
rem of Wyoming. member of the senats
committee on military affairs, said yes
terday that President Roosevelt hal
said that even if Gen. Moods nomia-
ation as a major general was con
firmed he would not again promote him
While he was president, and therefore
Gen Wood could not command tbs
army during the time of Roosevelt n
office.
This is an important statement in
view of the fact that one of the chief
rea sons for the opposition to Gen.
Wood was that if he was made a major
general now he would in the order
of seniority become the senior major
general in 1909. and would If promoted
be lieutenant general of the army AMI
chief staff until 1924. or for fifteen
years.
This statement by the president
means that Fred D. Grant will probab-
ly command the army in 1909.

IS if he We're on the ground.

oS II iiC w GIG VII lilG
Diplomats whom General Reyes has
approached on the subject say that
what he most fears is the result of the
announcement at Bogota of the fall
ure of mis- mission. He himself, real
ICES that the most he can hope from
the government of the United States
is an offer that it Will use moral sua-
sion to prevail on Panama to assume
her portion of the Colombian debt.
Further General Reyes has been told
he can expect nothing. II came TO
Washington to save what | could of a
ship wreck he said to a diplomat of
high rank.
Realization of the true situation 1t
is said, will not prevent Reyes from
calling on the United States for ref
erence to The Hague of several of the
questions at issue Ii is on this point
that European diplomats have told
General Reyes that ii is too much TO
expect this government to submit any
phase of the Panama matter to The
Hague. Several ambassadors have
earnestly advised the general to i'm
press on his people the fact that Eu-
rope wants the isthmian canal and
that Colombia can expect no sympathy
from that quarter. 1t has further been
pointed out by these diplomats that
the proffered sympathy of several
South American republics can avail
Colombia nothing in the event OF war
with the United States.
1t is hoped that the receipt of this
news in Bogota will do much to calm
the feeling there and hold the Colom-
bians in check until General Reyes can
return.
Great Britain and the Netherlands
have taken great pains to let General
Reyes know indirectly that Colombia
reckons without her host If she inter-
prets their delay in recognizing the re-
public of Panama as an evidence OF
their sympathy for Colombia or their
due to other than a desire to protect
the interests of their financiers who are
the largest holders OF government
bonds.
1t is said here to be likely that our
naval commanders in isthlnian waters
will go to the extent of dislodging the /,
one hundred Colombian troops which
today landed on the Island of the
Pines On this point, however, the pol
Icy of the government has not been
definitely decided.
