American Annexation Idea Supported
by Leading Business Men and Plant
ers—Coleny Rapidly Nearing “the
Parting of the Ways.”
Kingston, Jamaica, Tuesday, Aug. 19.
(Corre»i>ondenco of the Associated
Press.)—The past two or three
months have witnessed a remarkable
recrudescence of the American annex
ation idea in at least two of the largest
and most impoitant British West In
dia possessions—Trinidad and Jamal
ca. The leaders of the agitition are
generally planters and businessmen.
These point to the growing prosperity
of Porto Rico and denounce the sys
tem of British colonial government.
They also point to the desperate state
of the sugar industry and to the de
plorable condition of the people of the
islands and seriously suggest annex
ation to the United States as the only
possible chance of reviving their fall
en fortunes. Such Is the view of the
planters and business men; and both
together form a very Influential class
—perhaps the most influential class
of the community.

Colombia Will Demand of Nicaragua
Explanation In Regard to Her Al
leged Participation In Colomubian
Revolution,
Washington, Aug. 29.—Colombia will
formally demand of Nicaragua an ex
planation in regard to the latter coun
try’s alleged participation of that gov
ernment In the Colombian revolution
and back up her demand with tl
most formidable land and naval fon.
she can muster, as soon as tho present
rebel activity on the Isthmus has be
crushed.
Information to this effect was
celved from an authoritative sum
in Washington today.
The above intelligence causes c
siderable surprise In diplomatic <
clos for but a few weeks ago it was
announced that Mr. Concha, the (\
lomblan minister, and Mr. Corea, th
Nicaraguan minister, had establish
an entente cordlale between thou
respective governments; th.at bygones
were to be regarded as bygones, an
that the time was ripe for an under
standing. It Is now learned that the
Initial movement toward the establish
ment of an amicable understanding
between Nicaragua and Colombia w-as
made by Mr. Corea who also proposed
to Mr. Concha an adjustment of th
difficulties which have so long been
pending over Colombia's claim to the
ownership of a .^trlp of what is claim
ed by Nicaragua to be part of her
coast line. Minister Concha declin
ed to accede to the latter proposition,
declaring that a claim which Oolom
b.a had brought forward for so many
years could not be adjusted, or in fact,
brought to any material de
gree toward adjustment by the meth
ods suggested by the Nacaraguan min
ister. However, Mr. Concha was en
tirely willing to Join Mr. Corea in th *
establishment of an entente cordialo
Shortly after Minister Corea’s ar
rival in Nicaragua, where he went
onif weeks ago on a leave of absence
the Colombian officials here, it is star
received information to the effort
that arms and ammunition for the Co
lomblan rebels on the isthmus wore
being shipped from Corinto.
The Colombian legation hen' has
beou receiving reports of this chaiac
tor continually and in view of the ar
rangement effected with the Nicara
guan minister before he left Wash
ington, Senor Concha lost no time in
railing Mr. Corea's attention to th
matter. The latter official replied
that President Zelaya would imme
diately Institute an investigation to
ascertain if the reports were well
founded. A shoit time? ago. however,
more reports were received in Wash
ington to the effect that Nicaragua
still continued her material support
of the revolutionists on the isthmus
and now Colombia. It is stated, finds
her patience exhausted and has de
cided to prefer a formal demand for
an adjustment.

Tamaquah, Pa., Aug. 29.—In an en
counter between troops and strikers
at Lansford this morning, Captain VV.
H. Heim, of company K, was slight
ly injured. A half dozen strikers
were bayoneted by the soldiers as a
result of the fracas. Major Gear
hardt, in command of the troops here,
states that he will appeal to the mill
:ary authorities to put the town cl
Lansford under martial law.
From daybreak the troops were
quelling the disturbances and protect
.ng nonunion men while on their way
:o work. As has been the case for
“he past few days, the troops were
jeeied wherever they went.
The officers n*i>eatedly admonished
"he crowds not to insult or molest the
soldiers, but their words had but Ut
ile effect. As 5 o’clock companies
K and E were placed in two troll
•jars. One of the cars was run in
,’ront of the <*ar which carried the non
jnlon men to work and the other In
:he rear. While passing through Coal
lale and lansford the soldiers were
hooted, but as no stop was ma<te the
strikers did not make any violent do
monst rat ions.
At Summit Hill about double the
number of men availed themselves of
the protection of the soldiers and
went to work. The pickets of the
strikers made efforts to stop them, but
the warnings of the soldiers held them
at hay. When the workmen had
be«*n loaded onto th© cars the return
trip through the valley commenced.
The word that more mm than usual
wore* reporting for work spread
through the lower part of the valley
like wildfire and in short time the
streets were almost blocked with peo
pie. When the corner of Center and
East Bertch street was reached th'
cars stoppd to allow several nonunion
men to get off. As they stepped
the ground the mob made a rush for
them. A dozen soldiers sprang
the cars and leveled guns on the moo
and endeavored to clear a passage
way for the nonunion men.
When the soldiers returned aft
escorting their charges to a place
safety, the members commenced
close In around the cars. The strik
ers wore in an ugly mood, and when
ordered to disperse, merely yelled
louder and pressed closer. As Cap
tain Heim, of company K, was about
to Jump from the car he w .s seized
around the legs and thrown to the
ground. A half dozen privates, who
followed him. wore roughly handled,
trne of the men had a portion of his
shirt torn olT and according to the en
listed men and the officers, a number
of blows were struck. The men were
then ordered to disembark.
With clutched guns and fixed bay
onet* the soldiers forced the crowd
back. Many of the strikers stood their
ground and would not move until tie
soldiers jabbed them with their bay
onets. Some of the strikers fearing
that the troops would fire, rushed
into the opera house on the corner,
and for a time a wild scene of con
fusion reigned
In about 5 minutes the crowd had
boon pushed back to the curb line.
In the melee several of the strikers
wore knocked down, while others suf
fered slight bayonet wounds. Cap
tain Heim was severely bruised by
u.« fall.
Last night a carload of timber,
which was standing on the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation company's tracks
at Summit Hill, was started down the
steep stretch of road which leads to
Lansford. The car leaped the track
at a sharp curve and was hurled in
the bottom of a mine breach. At mi l
night the governor’s troops. Captain
Weaver, was sent to Summit Hill tu
protect the home of William Henry
a nonunion man. It was reported
that the strikers were firing on th'
house. A part of the troop remained
on guard there all night.
