CONDITIONS IN COLOMBIA.
Minister Barrett Says That He Notes
a Steady Improvement.

United States Minister Barrett at Bogota
reports to the State Department a steady
Improvement during the past month of po-
nticaI and business conditions In Colombia
There has been apparently" says he,
absolute quiet in all lines OF political agi-
tation, while there have been Indications
that foreign capital is feeling greater
sense OF security than il has for the last
year and half. If these conditions con-
tinue, they will be evidence of the wisdom
OF the policies pursued by President Reyes
In his efforts to bring about permanent
peace and prosperity for this wonderfully
rich country. The longer / stay here and
the more l investigate the resources and
possibilities OF the republic the more / am
convinced that it possesses a latent ca
pacity OF development second only to that
OF Mexico among ali the South American
republics.
In this connection II gives me profound
pleasure to emphasize a gradual growth of
a new friendly feeling toward the United
States. Although there is still much bit
terness among a certain element of poIiti-
cal leaders and among the masses of the
people, yet the courtesy that is shown me
ali occasions and at all places and the
more kindly references that are being made
In the press TO the United States show a
great change of feeling II North Ameri-
can capital viii now come TO this country,
as that of European countries like Eng
land. France and Germany Is beginning to
do, il Will be taken by the people of this
republic as being an Indication OF the de-
sire OF the United States to assist Colom-
bia in Its development. Shortly / shall
submit one or two specific reports upon the
conditions and resources of this country,
which | hope VIII awaken wider interest
throughout the United States IN It's mar

BESET BY NEW DANGER,
Big Earth Slide Threatens Flood for
California Towns,

SACRAMENTO. Cal, May IA dispatch
from Woodland to the Sacramento Union
says: The threat of flood In the Capay val
ley. resulting from the slide of earth that
has fallen from the mountainside and
damned the waters of Cache creek, is grow
Ing Increasingly serious. 1t may be as
sumed that the slide In question was in
some way the result of the earthquake and
II Is now found to be 1000 feet wide and to
completely close the water course. Ever
since the occurrence the waters have been
steadily piling up behind 1t and It was
!ouno py measurements taken yesterday
tnat depth of 100 feet had been reached
If 1t had been taken at an earlier sta ge
the dam might have been blown up with
dynamite and the waters released without
damage to any locality, but 1t is now too
late to do this. as 1t would but precipitate
the flood that Is feared. The dam is of soft
earth and debris. and there Is some hope
that 1t may absorb the water or cut out
gradually and the water pass on In harm
less quantities. Should 1t give way to the
pressure the results will be very serious and
large area of country will be flooded
The towns in immediate danger are Capay
with population of something under 400
Rumsey with a population Of 200 and
Guinda with population Of $50, all In
Capay valley. The Inhabitants Of these
towns are SO far impressed with the posi-
Die danger that confrontS them that they
have abandoned their houses and removed
their belongings even to the contents of the
stores to the hills. where they are camping
with families.
The railway company Is taking precau-
lions for the protection of its line and for
the prompt repair of any damage that may
be caused, and watchers have been placed
upon all the Yolo bridges to keep them
clear of brush and trees If a break occurs.
