Gen. Reyes Not Worrying
About His Country.
Colombia In Good Control and
Outbreak Not Serious.
Simply . Case Of "Whsn the Cats
Away the Mice WIIlPIay."

Paris. July 8.-General Rafael Reyes,
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, CO.
lumbia. The general told the Associat-
ed Press today that his advices from
General Holguin, the president desig-
nate, with whom he is in constant
touch, are to the effect that the trout
BILE was confined to Barranquilla
Colombia always needs an iron
hand" said General Reyes.
when became President of the re.
public five years ago, I had no trou-
BILE in restoring and maintaining order.
Now it is case of the English pro-
verb: When the cats away the mice
will play"
'Senor Gonzales Valencia, who has
been proclaimed President, some years
ago renounced the vice presidency. He
is my friend and not revoutionist.
am Convinced that the revolutionists
are simply using his name to conjure
with. General Holguin, to whom / turn
ed over the presidency on leaving
Bogote, is loyal to me and l have no
fear that he will play the same trick
that General Gomez played on General
Castro when the latter left Caracas for
Europe"
General Reyes says he does not be-
liece that the trouble on the Atlantic
coast is in any way due to discomfort
over the tripartite treaty between Co
lombia, Panama and the United States,
which the coming Colombian Congress
is expected to ratify. He thinks the
movement is simply the smouldering
remains of the revolution that he
qucnched on assuming power. that the
government apparently is able to con-
troll all the troops with the exception
of the garrison at Barranquilla and
that it is able to cope with the situa-
ton. General Reyes says he does con-
slider the news from Colombia serious
enough to alter his plans. which con-
template three-months sojourn in Eu-
rope before his return to the Colom-
hian capital. Tho President appears to
be in fairly good health.

Sakonnett Point, R, l.,
Postoffice Raided
By Burglars, Who Get Away
With $1,000 in Cash.
Large Quantity Of Stamps Also
1aken...A Possible Clue.

Little Compton, r. J., July S.-Twelve
hundred dollars in cash and a large
quantity of postage stamps were car
ried away by burglars VINO sometime
during the night entered the Sakonet
Point postoffice, near here, and blew
open the safe. The stolen money be-
longed, in part, to the government,
Postmaster Z. L. Manchester and the
Sakonet Steamboat Co., which had a
local ofliee In the postoffice building.
The burglars did their work so well
that no one heard the explosion, and
they ssere not molested, but had plenty
OF time to examine the contents of the
safe, take what was valuable and leave
what was worthless to them.
When Postmaster Manchester opened
the Office this morning he found that
the door of the safe had been blown
completely off, and that papers were
scattered all over the office. A hasty
examination by the postmaster showed
that everything of value had been TAX
en- away by the thieves. 1t was dis
covered little later that the carpen-
ter shop of a. ]. Barker nearby, had
also been entered and a quantity of
tools stolen. These tools were employ
ed by the burglars in affecting an en-
trance to the postoffice.
The only clue to the burglars was
brought to the village by Chester Davis
and Fred Sylvia. While these two men
were on their way to work about A.
M. they saw three strange men ahead
Of them suddenly dodge into the bushes
The strangers were apparently making
their way towards New Bedford Davis
and Sylvia did not give the matter
much thought until they heard of the
robbery.
There was considerable excitement
about the Sakonet Point settlement
when the news of the burglary became
known. On Monday the store of Rob-
ert Boddington was broken into and
Mr. Boddington's pocketbook. contain
ing 1897. was stolen. 1t is believed that
the men who broke into the postoffice
are the same who stole Mr. Bedding
tons money and it is also believed
that they have been hanging about the
neighborhood for several days waiting
for chance to enter the postofice.

THE EXPRESS BUSINESS
And How in Some Cases It Is Said to

Washington. July S.-A novel scheme
to evade prohibition laws has been de-
vised by the Incorporation of express
companies which operate between
states.
In the last two or three months sew
eral such companies have been in
in various parts of the coun-
try. In every instance the companies
do business close to state lines. None
of them has filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission it's annual re-
port, and it is understood an effort
shortly will be made by the officials of
prohibition states to prevent the opera
