coLoMRIA's PLIGHT.
Impoverished and Worn Out by the
Long continued Revolution.

Washington, May IA gloomy pic
ture Of the terrible plight in which Co
lombia finds itself as the result of the
exhausting four years of rebellion, is
contained in communication which
has reached this city from a source OF
unquestionable reliability.
These advices state that on March /
last. the government gave notice that it
had stopped the issue of the paper
money that was flooding the country
and had turned the Autograph plates
from which it was made over to a com
mittee composed Of prominent members
of different political parties.
Consequently the government early
in April was almost entirely without
funds. 1t had not enough to pay run
ming expenses, to say nothing of foreign
claims and demands. Not a cent of in
terest has been paid on the national
debt since the war commenced in 1899
The claims growing out of recent
revolution We're assuming tremendous
proportions and as there was no other
means of relief it was apparent that
the government again must recourse to
the Autograph stones and start the
press running again. Moreover, it was
the general opinion that even the small
measure of relief which might follow
the receipt of the $10,0OO,00O from the
United States on account of the
Panama canal could not be obtained as
now expected that Congress would rati-
fly the treaty.
The foreign debt in 1898 amounted to
12,IOO,0O0. on which the interest rate
was first a. then per cent, but this
interest has not been paid for several
years.
