Ing that he held his appointment from
General Reyes, who had been designated
supreme commander of all Colombia's
military forces. Manjares then went to
Cartagena, where he induced General
arrange to turn over to him the COM

soon as this had been done Manjares,
with bGttalion of the troops, took a
tram for Calama. He telegraphed to
Cartagena to send him 500 REINFORCE

Grave Danger that Other Powers May

Clash in the Far East.
Already there is grave danger that 9TH
er nations besides Russia and japan may
be drawn into the maelstrom Of war. All
the great powers IF the world have war
ships IN the eastern seas and serious fric-
ton has developed in several instances.
strong protest has been lodged by Ed
win III. Conger, the American minister.
IN the case of the steamer Pleiades. This
vessel was seized and forcibly detained
till she slipped away ia storm. Several
British vessels are being similarly treat
ed.
In the harbor of .Chemulpo the situa-
ton growing out Of the sinking of the
Russian warships Variag and Koreitz by
the japanese is rapidly becoming acute.
The survivors of the Russian vessels took
refuge on the British cruiser Talbot the
French cruiser Pascal and the Italian
cruiser Elba. The japanese have twice
made demands on the commanders of
these vessels for the surrender OF the
Russians as prisoners of war. These
demands have been refused the com
mander of the Talbot as senior naval Off
Ger each time replying that he was await
ing instructions from his government.
None of the Russians took refuge on
the American gunboat Vicksburg, whose
commander stoutly maintains that the
japanese are right in their contention
that these survivors should be given up
as prisoners of war. The Russians, he
says, took advantage Of the ciemency of
the japanese, who allowed them to re-
turn to the harbor when they might have
sunk them in the oDen sea- Had if not
been for this clemency on the part of Ad-
miral Uriu every man on board the Va
RAG and Koreitz might have been killed.
The fact that they are now harbored
by the ships of neutral nations, he says,
should not prevent the japanese from
claiming them as prisoners in order that
they may not again take up arms during
the war unless exchanged.

Buyers are arriving in this city in large
numbers from all sections of the conn
try, and there is good demand for all
leading staple lines with notable urgency
for prompt shipment of cotton goods
The labor situation throughout the coun-
try is almost devoid of friction. More or
less traffic congestion results from The
weather, and this factor accounts for the
small loss of IL per cent in railway
earnings during January.
Actual business is still restricted in
the iron and steel industry. but there is
more confidence in the future. aud the
extensive starting OF plants by the lead
ing producers suggests that foreign mar
