COLOMBIA 1s ANXIOUS.
Her Situation Daily is Becoming
 More Grave

Colon, Jan. 1.-That Colombia's internal situation Is daily becoming graver and more threatening and that Colombians are realizing the extreme seriousness thereof, is evidenced by discussion that has been brought at Cartagena and Bar ranquilla by the publication of docu- ments. dated Bogota, December ?, and signed by President Marroquin and his cabinet. in which 1t Is proposed to have municipalities hold plebiscites as to whether the constitution will be changed, decentralixing Bogota's power and greatly decreasing the powers of municipalities and departmental governments.
 The documents say the purpose of the change Is to strengthen municipal and departmental governments, save the re- public's present integrity and cause all reasons for the existing unrest and dis cord to disappear.
 In answering these documents the mu- nlcipality of Martagena passed resolutions that administration decentralization be ob- tained through legislation, but without changing the constitution.

 ioped but the fact that not single

 any London newspaper since Thurs night ip itself creates alarm. The eNxaph company is not aware of any l8F in the transit of messages and it | 'efefore is supposed that the Japanese 5Vernrnent Is stopping dispatches.

The Daily Tele- graph in Ieaded type says:
 Even in diplomatic circlrs hitherto Nanguine of peace, there is acknowledge tnent that a rupture is all but inevitable. Neither Japan nor Russia will abate anything of their claims and there is no aisn0AiEfon on either side to invite the mediation of friendly powers. It is be- Nared that Japan will take decisive steps within the next few days unless a con- eiliAfory message is despatched from St. Petersburg, a contingency which those AeHk able to form judgment do not an- tIcipate.''
 The Daily Mail deals similarly with the tlkuation and says that it understands shat Russia has reached a decision, which. when communicated to Japan snnsf precipitate hostilities.

I can't get MT. Hall to believe me-"
 My good and estimable lubbock" :" smiled Number Two, I've never known you to make a mistake But you have made one now, and you'd better recognize the fact, and not dis tress yourself unnecessarily. The gong you put upon the table not only didn't go off, but it actually played God Bless the Prince of Wales The papers are full of it this morning, though the whole contemptible business of two ny-halfpenny musical box seems a tin-pot thing to me, for the club and the papers to gush about. But your gong didn't have musical box inside it, as well as bomb, so, as I say, you must have put the wrong one on the table"
 No, I'll be damned if I did" vocif- erated the angry lubbock, positively dancing round the room in his exas- peration.
 "In that case you did do 1t, for you'll certainly be damned" laughed Number Two. You make yourself easy on that score, my friend And I don't think 1t will be altogether on account of a musical-box

There's a ladder learl- ing against one of the fruit trees in the orchard. and If we stick it up on top of the portico, we ought to be able to reach the roof. Anyhow, we'll have a try, so come along"
 Councillor Number Six, the Silent Councillor, Hall and myself must, suppose, while this was going on, have been looking the reproaches, which we dare not speak, for as soon as the po-: licemen were out of hearing, lubbock said snappishly-
 Its quite incompatible that you should all look askance at me as ii was infected with African leprosy. was in no way cognizant of com mitting mischief"
 Quite so, lubbock" assented Mum. Der Two; you couldn't help sneezing. my good man, any more than you can help getting the African leprosy, which l trust you never will. The only mercy is you didn't yawn, for yawning, like the African leprosy, is catching. and sneezing isn't. But the question we've now to consider is, Whats to be oone?'"
 T think" said the appeased Hub book more deferentially, "if the coun- ell doesn't think the course too igno- minious, that 1t would be advisable to ensconce ourselves under the table. If the policemen climb up on the roof and extract tile to look in, they can't see us there, and they may conclude that the room is uninhabited."
