SUSPENSION OF
ENTRIES REVOKED

Washington. Dec. 22.-The secretary
of the interior has revoked the order
under which final action on entries un-
der the timber and stone act were sus-
pended, and all such entries, aggregat-
ing a large number, will now be acted
upon in the regular order by the gen
eral land Office
The order involved several hundred
thousand acres of public domain in the
West, all entries on which have been
held up because of the big frauds per-
petrated on the government under the
timber and stone act The suspension,
which has been in force many months,
has served good purpose, and in the
view of the Interior Department has
been the means of preventing many
fraudulent entries. A rigid scrutiny of
all entries under the act will be con-
inued, but the revocation of the sus-
pension order will have the effect Of
allowing all valid entries to be pat
ented.
This was the important development
to-day in the land fraud proceedings
and indicates that the government be-
lieves that the backbone of the alleged
ring that has been specializing in and
taking unlawful means of acquiring
lands under this act, has been broken

EUROPEAN POWERS WILL WARN

himself that he fears he can with diff
Guilty check his people much longer.
General Reyes is not talking for pub
lication, but to several European am
bassadors 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 as
IL he were on the ground and in COM
mand.
Diplomats whom General Reyes has
approached on the subject say that
what he most fears is the result of
an announcement at Bogota of the fail
ure OF his 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 suasion
to prevail on Panama to assume her
portion of the Colombian debt. Gen.
eral Reyes has been told that he can
expect nothing.
Il came to Washington to save what
I could from q shipwreck," he said to
diplomat of his rank.

Denver. Dec. 22-The Republican
prints an interview wits John C. Os-
good, director Of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company. and formerly chairman
of its board OF directors. Mr.. Osgood
said:
There is no truth In the report that
. large amount of money is unaccount-
ed for on the books of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company. There was NO
excuse for the publication of such a
tale. 1t is exasperating to read such
reports when there is absolutely moth
ing upon which they could be founded.
The story that an account is on the
books representing expenditures for a
costly building which cannot be found,
is also the veriest rot.
THE Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany is not embarrassed for money.
Money was advanced for Its use by the
Rockefeller and Gould interests and it
was advanced upon terms that are re-
markable in their liberality.
The plants of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company probably will remain
closed Down until the coal strike Is
finally disposed Of There has been no
disposition to keep them closed day
longer than is necessary on account of
the lack of coal. Mr.. Rockefeller is not
trying to freeze out" any one, as has
been said in the papers. No criticism
of him or those interested with him is
fair as far as his dealings with the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron Company is con-
cerned. / have never known a case
where men had the power to force f.
nancial matters where they were as
forbearing as Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr..
Gould have been. Everything has been
open and above board. There has been
no attempt to press the stock Of the
company, the interests that have Sc
cured control of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company did not force their way
in, and the relations between myself
and the new owners have been very
pleasant.

Washington. Dec. %. Diplomatic
pressure will be brought to bear upon
Colombia by several European powers
to prevent war between that country
and the United States.
The first step in this direction al
ready has been taken by several for
eign powers through their represent
atives here, who have informed Cen
eral Rafael Reyes. of the futility Of
any attempt by Colombia to retake
Panama, declaring that it will result
only in precipitating the Bogota gov
ernment into war with the United
States and have said to him that the
result of such a catastrophe Colombia
herself must realize.
II this is not sufficient, the repre-
sentatives of these countries at Bogo-
ia will be instructed to inform Presi-
dent Marroquin that Colombia can ex-
pect no sympathy from the European
powers in any movement she may make
on Panama, which would inevitably
involve her in war with the United
States.
