CONSUL IN TROUBLE.
McMaster to Be Prosecuted fol
Shooting Colombian.

No surprise is expressed by officials of
the State Department at the report that
William B. McMaster, United States vice
consul at Cartagena, Colombia, is to be
arrested and prosecuted on the charge Of
shooting a Colombian citizen some years
ago.
The charge is said to be the outcome of
resentment against Mr. McMaster for
having pressed cases against two Colon
bians who assaulted him last August.
Mr. McMaSter was born in Colombia OF
American parents and lived in that coun-
try for many years before his appoint
ment to the United States consular service
in 1895 He has held the office of vice
and deputy consul since July. 1905
About year ago he had some difflculty
with Mario l.. Cordoba, editor o. Car
tagena newspaper of alleged strong anti
American tendencies. According to the
story Cordoba and a companion attacked
Consul McMaster on the street and stab
bed him several times in the head and
abdomen.
At the time 1t was reported that the
assault was due to animosity toward the
United States. The governor. in his re-
port of the case, said it was a personal
matter without political significance.
If the consul is to be prosecuted the
State Department will take steps to see
that he is fully protected in all his legal
rights
