Washington. May - —The latest advices
received here indicate that President
j Marroquin, of C -iombia. has decided not.
I to call a special session of th- Colombian
I congress to act on the Panama canal
i treaty. In the election in progress in
t Colombia tho opposition continues to
! gain and the prospects for a government
} majority are so doubtful that President
■ Marroquin seems indisposed to act.
The Colombian congress will, however,
i assemble July 20 in regular session. At
I that session the. canal treaty may be
I taken up, but in view of the sentiment
i existing much doubt is felt here as to
i whether it w ill 1»- a- ted upon.
This outlook, however, does not dis
j eour-ige the officials here. The t’nited
I States government has gone so far in
- its negotiations with Colombia that con
j fid-nee is felt here that President Marro-

ENGLAND TOWG TO
MONROEISM,
Lord Lansdowne States hTat if Row- I
ers "try To Establish Naval Base
in Those Waters They
Must Fight Great
Britain.
London, May •.—?’orelgn Secretary i
I. Has proclaimed a British Mon- |
roe doctrine in th- Persian gulf and bus ■
practically notified the competing powers I
that any attempt on their part to es- '
tablish a naval base or fortified post in |
those waters means war with Great Brit- I
ain.
"I say without hesitation,” said the for- j
etgn secretary, dealing with the subject in ,
the house of lords yesterday evening. ■
"that we should regard th- establishment
of a naval base or a. fortified port in the
Persian gulf by any other power as a '
very grave menace to British interests,
and -p-e should certainly resist it with j
all the means at our disposal."
l/oi.l Lansdowne preceded this explicit ,
enunciation of BrP.lsh policy by a review
of the situation there, as It affected Bril- 1
ish interests, contending that so far as ,
the navigation of the gulf was concerned I
Great Britain held a position different ’
from the others, both because it was ;
owing to British enterprise and expen- ,
diture of life and money that, the gulf ,
was now open to the commerce of tho ’
world, and because the protection of tho I
se.t route to India necessitated British :
predominance in the gulf.
I.ord Lansdowne's attitude in this mat
ter generally meets with approval, al
though the answers thereto of the other
powers interested in the gulf are awajtcd i
with ittne anxiety. The newspapers hero
comment on the analogy of the present <
proeeL-ding which Captain Mahan so :
strongly recommended to tho United
States poli-y of Monroeism.
The Westminster Gazette holds that tho '
British motive, namely, rhe protection -f
the sea route to India, corresponds ex- j
a.-'tiv with the American motiye in ex
cluding European powers from American
waters because their territory is thereby-'
threatened.
• ASTRO HAS MATOS IN TRAP. !
Impending Battle Will Probably End
Venezuelan. Revolution.
Caracas, May s.—lt Is believed here in
some circles that General Matos, the lead
er of the revolution, has fallen into a
trap. His object In landing again on
Venezuelan soil was to reestablish har
mony among the chiefs of the revolution
■who are fighting among themselves. Gen
eral Matos on May 1 reached Barquisl- I
ineto, where the revolutionary army of j
2,000 men is concentrated under Generals I
Penalosa and Jacintolart.
The government at first was inclined to :
disbelieve the news that General Matos I
had returned to Venezuela, but after this I
was lontirem. It concentrated its forces -
which are now encircling the rebels. Vice
President Gomez Is marching on Barquisl- !
meto via Tucacacas and Dauca with 2,000 '
men; General Llnarez is -approaching the :
rebels via San Felipe and Yarltagua with
J, 400 men. General Gonzales Pacheco is
approaching via Guidor with 1,300 men,
and 100 Andean troops are coming via ;
Carache. Within eight days Barquisi
rneto, which is strongly entrenched, will ;
bo attacked slrnultap”i>usly by all the
government forces.
It is believed that the approaching bat
tle will be sanguinary and probably the '
last of the Matos revolution, if the revo- \
lutionists are defeated. The opinion is !
held bv certain high government officers
that if General Matos is captured his life I
will be tn danger. It is thought that
. Bernard Blanco, a son of Blpnco, Is with .
| General Matos.

Blalrmore, N W T., May 4 -The loud
reports caused by the limestone crum- .
bling and falling down the mountain, ;
. which kept up the greater part of Sunday, i
reverberated dolefully through the empty '

no one to enter tho town except persons l
J having property to move or look after, j
Another party’ ascended the mountain j
; y-sterday to obs.-rve the progress of dis
integration going on in the danger sec
tion. It was found that a break or i
crevice, from which future trouble is i
looked for, lias widened greatly since i
tli.- observations of the day before. Tills :

the mountain in a safe condition has
been temporarily abandoned.
RUSSIA WHIIBHAW.S
HER TROOPS,
Japanese Minister Visits Secretary
Hay and Expresses Deep Con- i
cem Over the Situation.
What Russia Has
To Say.
Pekin, May 2 The official at Now
'Chwang who sent yesterday’s news of
Russia's alleged action at. New Chwang
and elsewhere In Manchuria telegraphs
today that the occupation of the for.’es
at the mouth of the Liao river was tem
porary and that the Russians have now
wit hdra wn.
Official circles at Pekin are mystified- j
Their subordinates at New Chwang have :
not. reported the reoccupation of that [
place, hence there is a disposition to ques- .
tlon the correctness of the information, |
although the author of yesterday’s story
i Is considered to be one of the ablest
I and best informed foreigners in China.
Deep Concern Felt by Japan.
Washington, May 9.—Mr. Takahira, the
Japanese minister had a long interview
with Secretary liny at. the state depart
ment today, lie manifested deep concern
over the Manchurian stiu-ation, but de
clared that the legation was without
official advices, in the absence of which !
ho did not can to discuss the matter, i
There Is an intimation that Japan is ■
disappointed at the character of the sup
port she has received from other powers I
up to tills time In her efforts to stop j
Russia’s alleged aggression. Upon leav
ing the state department the minister I
took occasion to single out the following '
■ statements print.-i this morning:
! “It is pointed out that Russia employ- j
I ed a saving clause in the promise to ■
withdraw from Manchuria, the language ;
being provided, however, that the action
of other powers shall not stand In the
way and the further statement that 'Rus
sia. it is understood, now contends that
this proviso was violated by- Japan when
she mobilized her fleet and otherwise
i showed signs of military preparations
I which was cont rued as a menace to the
Russians.’ “
Commenting upon the latter statement,
be said:
"Such a contention. If made, is unwar- :
ranted." Mr. Takahira added that there
; has been nothing fn the movement of the ‘
t Japanese navy th it could be construed
| ns a menace to Russia.
! “The movcm’- is of Japan’s warships,”
i said the ininiste'. "are simply incidental i
- to spring man- ivers and are as devoid
' of political sfg'-.tfir-ince as wore your na- :
I val maneuvers In the Caribbean last win
i ter.
! Count Cassini the Russian ambassador,
j said today:
l "When the whole truth is known ft will ,
I be found that R:t -la has not violated a
' single pledge ni ie to any nation, nor -
I does she intend to do so. Moreover,
1 whatever steps h .ve be.-n taken in Man- i
! eburia are only in self-defense.”
The count cal - in person at the de
partment of stab about noon to talk :
i over the Manchurian situation with Sec-
I rotary Hay, and ? is supposed he con- ,
veyed assurances on the same lines to
the secretary. |
Great Britain in Dark.
I London, May 9.—The Briti. h foreign of
' flee is- without any official news of the i
Russian action at Now Chwang. The '
I subject has not been rn -nti-ned by either I
j tho ambassador at St Petersburg or the •
' British charge d’affaires at Pekin. The :
foreign office here ah" has n-t been ;
I informed of any intention on the part of I
j tho United States cooperating with Great!
! Britain and Japan in a joint protest. |
• Such cooperation would -be warmly wel- :
' corned and will come os a pleasant sur- I
. prise to Downing str-- * in view of tho ;
- state di partmont s .’c'-linatlon hitherto ■
! to act “jointly" with Great. Britain, I
though admittedly’ working for a com- •
i mon object. The foreign office is In- 1
dined to regard Russian activity at New :
Chwang as a, measure originally intended!
i to synchronize with the demands of Chi- I
. n.i, but owing to . n.- premat lire revela- ,
, tion of the demand the plans miscar- •
' ried. In view of the vigorous protests I
against Russia in th- interim the foreign i
-office does not believe she is likely’ to ;
: take seriously aggressive steps in the -
| near future.
Russia Deprecates Reports.
St. Petersburg, May 9.—The foreign of- ‘
I flee here strongly deprecates the excite- i
1 ment concerning Manchuria.
it believes mischief makers are re
sponsible for the reports and says the .
arrival of troops at New Chwang was I
due to the retirement of troops from ■
Moukden province southward instead ■ f
northward. The troops depart by sea. ,

Dower Is Discharged for Alleging
Ring Exists in Engine Room To I
Govern Promotions—Payne
Says That the Charges
Are False.
Washington, May’ 9.—Postmaster Gen
eral Payne today dismissed James Dow- i
er, a fireman employed in the postoffice I
department, as a result of charges that
Dower bad recently filed against Chief
Engineer Janies O’Donnell and other su
perior officers. Dower alleged that a
ring to govern promotions and other mat
ters existed in the engine room and that
improper contracts had been made. The
charges were Investigated by a postoffice
inspector, and the report does not sus
tain them.
The postmaster general announced today
that tho action <jf Dower In making the
“frivolous and scandalous charges, giving
them publicity’ and then failing utterly
to sustain them is to the detriment of
the service and subversive of all dis
cipline. The discharge of Dower is order*
for the good of the service."
Tho inspector's report says Dower is
reported by Assistant Engineer Anderson
to have Incited or attempted to incite
other employees to acts of insubordina-
I tion.
I “Dower’s complaint.” the inspector con
tinues. “contains statements confirming ;
the declarations ns to Ills dissatisfaction
with his assignments, nnd acts of in-
- subordination, a conduct demoralizing to
1 the force."
I Some of his charges are grossly exag
' ger.ited, while other charges, as shown
I by the sworn statements of his assq-
■ elates, arc absolutely untrue. Postoffice
j Inspector Fosnes today took charge of
; the free delivery service. General Super
intendent Machen, who was relieved from
duty yesterday, did not appear to turn
ov’tr the office. Ho sent word that he
was too ill to come.
Postofflee Inspector Fosr.es today’ took
charge of the free delivery service.. Gen
eral Superintendent Machen, who was
relieved from duty yesterday, did not
appear to turn over the office. He sent
word that he was too ill to come.
Postoflice Inspector Thorpe, of
York city, who has been assisting In the
investigation of the department, will re
main with Acting Superintendent Fosnes
to assist him in handling some of the
details of the work.
Postmaster Genera! Payne said today
that the transfer of the free delivery to
the office of the fourth assistant and Mr.
Machen’s indefinite leave was with the
1 :I1 knowledge and acquic.-icenco of First ,
Assistant Postmaster General YVynne.
Seymour \V. Tulloch, the former cash-,
i’-r of the Washington city postoffice,
who, in a newspaper interview, made ;
grave charges against the administration I
of the postal service at the time of his i
removal several years ago, was in the l
city today.
"It is a curious coincidence,” said Mr.
Tulloch, "that the suspension of Mr .
fallows so closely the receipt of
the replies to the letters tho postmaster j
g, neral sent regarding my statements. I
H the truth was told, the Information |
those replies contained must have fully (
borne out everything that 1 have said. |
Mr Bristow is a thoroughly honest and. I
1 believe, fearless Investigator, and m
his reply must hav.- embodied data of
which the postmaster general had not
1 een previously aware. I regard my :
statements as substantiated in those re- 1
piles. If the replies already In exonerate ,

Machen Loses Official Head.
Wa hington, Muy B.—The investigation
lof the affairs of the postofflee depart- j
j merit, which had been dragging along ;
■ for two months, took a startling turn :
l l:,to this afternoon, when, by order of !
! Postmaster General Payne, August W ■
! Machen, general superintendent of the
■ free delivery system, and one of the
I most widely known government officials
i in the United States, was relieved from
I duty and Postoffi o Inspector A. C. 1.-'os- |
n , s’ was designated to take charge of :
I that service.
The change will take effect tomorrow, ■
I when Mr. Fosnes will assume charge i
i of the free delivery’ service and at the I
I same time that service will pass under |
I the control of the office of the fourth
assistant postmaster general. Heretofore |
:it has been under the jurisdiction of i
! the first, assistant.
rhe action of the postmaster general ;
I was taken on the written recommenda- ,
tion of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen- j
I oral Bristow, who Is directing the in- ,
’ vestlgation of the affairs of the depart- |
I ment, that the transfer of Mr. Machen’s i
! bureau to bls jurisdiction, and its ad- ■
I ministration by a postoffice inspector |
would expedite the investigation.
Before a largo number of newspaper i
mon, Postmaster General Payne an- ,
nounced bls decision and read the corre- ■
spondence between himself and Mr. Ma- :
chen, together with the recommendation ■
of Bristow. The latter’s recommenda- |
tion, made under date of yesterday, was
as follows:
"In order to complete the departmental j
Investigation now in progress in a more
expeditious and satisfactory manner. I
beg to request that the division of the
: free delivery be temporarily' assigned to
the bureau of the. fourth assistant post
master goner,-i.l. and that I be author
ized to assign a postoffice Inspector as !
the acting superintendent of that division
during the continuance of this investlga- i
tion."
Payne and Street Car Employees.
Washington, May 9.—Referring to the '
resolutions adopted yesterday by’ the con- ,
volition of the Amalgamated Street Rail
way Employees of America, at Pittsburg,
alleging flagrant abuses of the mails. '
Postmaster General Payne said today’ that 1
: during tho street car trouble In San Fran-
I cisco a postal official (whether the post
. master or the superintendent of delivery’ !
, he did not recall) was accused of giving !
i unilui privik ges to detectives employed!
i by the company.
Mr. Payne said he had forgotten just)
what these privileges were, but the case i
was investigated at the time and the ,
action of the postoffico condemned by the I
department. He said he had never heard '
of tho complaints emanating from New i
Orleans.
DENIAL MADE BY GEN. MILES.
He Did Not Go to Philippines To Aid
Anti-Imperialists.
Washington, May 6.—ln a recent trial
at Manila there was introduced in evi
dence a letter taken from a Filipino and i
! signed by a native saying that the recent !
visit of General Miles to the Philippines I
was for the purpose of collecting evi- ■
denee to aid the cause of the anti-impe- |
rlnllsts. The letter with other eviedn. e '
was published In a Manila paper.
General Davis, commanding in the Phil- I
Ippines. sent a copy of the letter to the
war il -p.i rtnient. with an indorsement, '
saying he had no doubt that the use of j
General Miles’ name in this connection
was unauthorized. The letter with in
dorsement was referred to General Mlles,
who returned it with the further in
dorsement that tho view of General Davis
was entirely correct and the use of his
name was wholly unauthorized.
GOULD LINES SEEKING
SOUTH MTIC
TERMINUS,
This Outlet Secured by the Alliance
with the Seaboard Air Line.
Atlanta-Birmingham Ex
tension F.~ures in
the Deal.
Chicago, Ills., May B.—(Special.) —lt is
reported that the Gould interests have
formed an alliance with those of the
Seaboard Air Line, by which the former
will obtain an outlet to the south Atlan
tic ports, which they are understood to
have been seeking for some time.
Art important extension of the Seaboard
Air Lins is now under construction. It
will run from Atlanta to Birmingham,
and will be 117 miles In length. Con
struction work has been begun, and it
is said that trains will lie running over
it by January 1. The new road is being
built to carry heavy loads on an eco
nomical basis and for this reason large
sums will be spent In overcoming physi
cal difficulties. In grade and curvature
the new line is to conform to the modern
notion.
The closing of this gap in such a first
class manner suggests several things.
Terminal arrangements at Birmingham
were provided at the outset, and include
property of ample size and good loca
tion. A contract was also obtained with
tho Birmingham Belt < ’ompa.ny, w’hich
Is now owned by the St. Louis and San
J-rancisco railroad. It is believed that the
Goulds will find away of pushing tho
eastern terminus of their southwestern
lines, from Memphis to Birmingham.
Railroad mon are of the opinion that
tho Goulds seek an outlet to south At
lantic points, and that, besides teaching
Baltimore, they want ports farther south.
Should they build from Memphis to Bir
mingham ajid make a deal with the Sea
board they would have the choice of the
various ports reached by that system.
There are evidences of joint relations
between the Gould and thf Seaboard in
■ forests in other quarters that make such
arrangement practical, if desired. Rock
Island and Illinois Central Interests also
are understood to be arranging a close
connection with the Seaboard Air Line at
Birmingham.
