Paris, July 9.--Gen, Rafael Reyes, the
president Of the republic Of Colombia,
who is staying in this city with his
daughter, minimizes the revolution which
broke out on Sunday last against his
government at Barranquilla, Colombia.
The general told the Associated Press
Yesterday that his advices from Gen.
Holruin, the president-designate, with
whom he IL in constant touch, are to the
effect that the trouble was confined to
Bananquilla.
Colombia always needs an iron hand,
said Gen. Reyes. "When became pres
ident Of the republic five years ago :
had no trouble in restoring and main.
tanning order. Now it is a case OF the
Englis s/proverb, When the eats away

/ turned over the presidency on leaving
Bogota, is loyal to me and I have no
fear that he viii play the same trick
Gen. Gomez played on Gen. Castro
when the latter left Caracas for Eu-
rope"
Cen. Reyes says he does not believe
that the trouble on the Atlantic coast
IS In any way due to discomfort over
the tripartite treaty between Colombia,
Panama and the United States, which
the coming Colombian congress is ex-
pected to ratify. He thinks the move
ment is simply the smoldering remains
81 the revolution that be quenched on
assuming power; that the government
apparently is able to control al the
troops with the exception Of the garri-
son at Barranquilla and that it is able
to cope with the situation.
Gen. Reyes says be does not consider
the news from Colombia serious enough
to alter his plans, which contemplate a
three months sojourn in Europe before
his return to the Colombian capital
The president appears to be in fairly
good health.

adobe buildings would be torn down,
pieces taken at random were assayed
tt was found that because Of the old
process, which left much gold and silver,
they assayed from S3 60 s24 ton. The
mean value was estimated to run about

The old buildings have brought about
