Imperial government, the governments of

Preliminary correspondence shows that
tho proclamation Is based on suggestions
which the government of Natal forwarded
to Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, July
24, and that tho date, Hcptembor 15, was
recommended by Lord Mllner. The rea

Doubt That Thla Will Knd Wnr.
The afternoon papera comment approv
ingly upon tho proclamation of Lord Kitch
ener. Kvcn the Westminster Gazette says
there Is no fault to find with It, nor Is
thcro any objection to make on tho score
of Justice. It thinks, however, that It Is
extremely doubtful If It wilt havo any of;
feet In shortening tho war. Most of tho
fighting Boers aro already completely
ruined and nothing distrains them, owing
to tho devastation of tho country.
Tho fllobu says tho proclamation Is as
Judicious as It Is drasflo and that tho only
question la whether It Is strong enough
adding, "not oven tho wildest pro-Doer
can find fault with It on tho score of In
humanity. It has been long obvious that
such a step was necessary to prevent ruin
of tho Inhabitants who desired peace."

SAME AS AN ACT OF WAR
If Colombian Hare Mads Boportod Irm-
lioi it ii a loriom Mattor.
WASHINGTON IS HEARING ABOUT IT
State Department nreelres I.nnw
Letter from Consul General nt
I'nnamn nnd from .1. Hd
ward Mnimons.
WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacoa, Aug.
9. The Venezuelan government announces
that n new Colombian Invasion occurred
yesterday morning near Colon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. Tbo situation in
Colombia and Venezuela continued to oc
cupy much of the attention of officials
here today and, whllo It was not roil mat
affairs had assumed a serious aspect, yet
It was appreciated that both the official and
unofficial advices Indicated n condition of
affairs which might mean war between
Colombia and Venezuela, complicated by
revolutionary outbreaks In both countries.
During tho day the Stato department re
ceived a rather lengthy mall communica
tion from Consul General Oudger at Pan
ama and, though this was dated nearly a
month ago, It told of the landing of a
revolutionary expedition nnd expressed the
current belief held nt Panama that this
would bo followed by other expeditions.
Tho department also received a letter
from J. Edward Simmons ot Now York,
president of the Panama Railroad com
pany, confirming his communication of yes
terday relatlvo to tho trouble on the
Isthmus and stating that the superintend
ent of the road had advised him as to the
depredations of nn Insurgent band, which
did not number over fifty men.
Co I inn hi mm' Second Coining.
The aspect of the matter was presented
In press dispatches from Wlllomstad, stat
ing that tho Colombians again bad invaded
Venezuela. Thero was no official confirma
tion as to this, but if It should provo cor
rect thcro seems to bo little chance of
avoiding an open conflict between these
two countries, ns such an Invasion by Co
lombia would be In Its effect an net of
war. But the authorities hero prefer to
take a conservative view ot the situation
until official advices aro In hand. When
Inquiry was mado as to why our officials
at Bogota and olsewhero did not send full
information It was stated theso officials
were not thero to communtcato news, but
only to advise this government ns a pre
liminary to any official action which might
become necessary.
At tho Navy department no further steps
wore taken toward sending ships to the
Isthmus. It was decided definitely, how
ever, to Bond the battleship Wisconsin
down to San Diego, Cal., In caso the de
sirability of that move becamo evident by
the time It reached San Francisco, and the
State department was so advised. Thcro
wan some comment also as to the possl
blltty ot sending down some of tho ships
of the North Atlantic squadron, but acting
Secretary Hackett treated "theso sugges
tions as rather premature, Thero is no
doubt whatever that an ample force will
be sent from the squadron it its presence
seems desirable.
The Colombian legation had no news to
day to confirm the press report of a new
Colombian Invasion of Venezuela. Mr. Her
ran, the first secretary ot the legation,
who Is now In charge during Dr. Sllva'a
absence, said: "The point at which an In
vnslon Ib now feared Is near the border
land In the vicinity of Mota river, south
of the lako of Maracalbo."
Some Fighter nt the Head.
The Colombian minister ot war, Gen
eral Gonzales Valencia, who has a good
record as a fighter, and has rendered dls
tingulshed services during the guerrilla
wnrfare of a year past, and Mr. Herran
thought it quite likely that he had been
called upon to lead the army ot Colombia.
Mr. Herran Is expecting almost hourly to
hear from the Colombian consul general at
New York and also hopes for some news
to shed light on the situation in the
Isthmus from tho Incoming Colombian mall,
which Is expected soon to arrive.
Mr. Hcrrnn discussed generally the
ability of Colombia to cope with tho actual
war with Venezuela. He pointed out that
Colombia has a population ot 5,000,000,
against the 3,000,000 of Venezuela, and an
army of about 40,000 men, who havo been
for tho most part in active servlco against
revolutionary' bands for the last year. He
expressed his earnest hope that a condi
tion of actual war would not result from
tho present troubles, but believed his coun
try to be fully ablo to take care of Itself
In that emergency.
If trnfllc on the Isthmus should bo
stopped It probably would bring about nn
Inquiry by the United States government
to the government of Colombia as to the
ability of the latter to cope with the sltua
tlon, for tho primary duty Is on Colombia
and only when It falls will tho United
States step In. When a similar troublo
arose In 1885, tho United States did not
act until tho Colombian government re
quested action, making It plain that the
trouble had got beyond the power of Its
authorities,
Asrnt Here Hendu Caution.
NEW YORK. Aug. 9. Dr. A. J. Rcstrepo
diplomatic representative In this city of
the Colombian revolutionists and tholr
legal adviser, sent a communication today
to the revolutionary generals who nre op
eratlng In the Department of Panama, di
recting them not to allow tholr forces to
Ipterfere with tho railroad or the traffic
at tho Isthmus. A copy of the communi
cation was sent to tho Stato department
at Washington,
Dr. Rrstrepo says that ho has advices
which refute the report that a train was
halted by some of tho liberals near Pan
ama. The men wero simply guerrillas, he
declares, and not revolutionists. Ho says
that from their Irregular character they
selzs opportunities for looting. Dr.
Restrepo Insists that no attack upon either
Colon or Panama Is at present Intended
by the liberal forces.
Tho revolutionists, he explained, control
practically all of the department, except
these two cities. They have about 8,000
men In the department, commanded by
capable generals, he avers. When the
proper time comes, he says", the revolu
tlonlsts will attack the two cities In force
It Is reported here that the Colombian
government authorities are preparing for
such an attack by heavy shipments of ad
dltional munitions from this city to the
government forces,

ports aro various an to tho number and
equipments of tho persons landed, but that
It is conjectured that the number Is rather
small.
Persons In official positions nt Panama,
who seem best advised regarding this expe

to bo sent out, as well as a method ot
causing a more general uprising among tha
liberals along tbo Isthmus. The consul
general does not know whether affairs on
tbu Isthmus will become aerlous, but Is
of tho opinion that If thero should be as
many armed forces present bb there was

articles out of a total of 180 having now

Tho principal change In tho original text
la In the number of voters required In or

After considerable discussion It was de
cided that In the province of Havana a
candidate for the oflico of representative,
governor, provincial legislature, senatorial
elector or presidential elector must bo pro
posed by no fewer than 500 voters; In tho
provinces ot Santiago and Santa Clara by
at least 300; In the provlnco of Mntunzaa

while tho numbers for tho other provincej
wero in the tame ratio as finally adopted.
The change was proposed by Scnor San

project as It stood originally would place
tho nomination of candtdntes entirely In
the hnnds of political parties, which would
mean that cliques would rule tho elec

be ablo to collect so many voters to pro
pose them, owing to tholr not having or

dered by Judge Tuley in tho circuit court
hero toduy which Is of Interest to grain
dealers nnd elevator men all over tho
country. The decision practically declares
tho statute governing tho coloring of grain
unconstitutional and says that n man has
a right to do anything with his own prop
erty so long as he does not menace tho
welfare of tho community or Impair the
public health,
Tho opinion was delivered In the case of

for tho purpose of mnklng It appear of a
better grade. The prosecution showed that
tho defendants fumigated barley In tholr

result of tho process tho grain wns made
to appear ot n bettor quality than It realty
was. Thero aro said to be several ele
vator companies that havo kilns to fumi

a law against this practice and tho de

.11111 Doubt.
PITTSBHtO. Aug. 9. There were gravoly
Important developments In the strlko sit
uation today. The United Stntes Steel cor
poration moved decisively In Its strlko
campaign with a peremptory order direct
ing that tho great Dowocs-Wood plant at
McKecsport bo dismantled nnd removed to
the Klsklmliiotns valley. President Com
pcrs of tho American Federation of Labor,
after n two days' consultation ltu Presi
dent Shaffer nnd bis associates, Issued a
formal statement tonight specifically pledg
ing tho federation to the moral and finan
cial support ot tho Amalgamated associa
tion. Ills written review of tho train of
events leading up to tho Industrial quarrel
sustains the course of the Amalgamated as
sociation and declares that nothing remains
for labor but to battlo for tho cause of
unionism.
Tho olllclnl announcement of the order to
dlsmantlo tho Dewocs finirt cumo this aft
ernoon toward tho close of nn otherwise un
eventful day, and Its Importance was such
thut it claimed tho serious consideration on
cither side of the great Industrial conflict
now being wngod bore. Perslfer F. Smith,
district manager for tho American Sheet
Steel company, mado tho formal announco
mom In the following statement:
1 have orders from President JIcMurty of
the American Sheet Steel company to nt
once tear down tho Do woes-Wood plant nt
McKecHporl nnd romove sumo to Klsklml-
netiis valley. This 1 shall proceed to do
Immediately.
Great .Surprise nt McKeepnrt.
The publication ot the ordnr was a great
surprlso and McKecsport received It at
first with doubt. Actual preparations wero
made later ln tho day for tho dismantling
ot the mill nnd thero Is Uttlo room for
doubt that It will be torn down nnd taken
apart, piece by piece. The striken heard
thy order ln a spirit ot defiance. Thoy
simply said that It showed the steel cor
poration was convinced that It could not
reopen the plant In tho faco ot tho opposi
tion , of the Amalgamated association.
Strlko leaders here said that the order
was a bluff that bad been worked un
successfully beforo and declined to take It
seriously. A representative of the press
showed tho statement to President Shaffer,
but after reading It ho declined to talk
about It.
"1 havo nothing to hay about this order
to dlsmantlo tho Dowees-Wood plant," was
all that he would say.
Tho steel officials declined to glvo nny
ronson for tho order, but It Is openly stated
here that tho pronounced sympathy of citi
zens nnd city ofllclnlu nt McKecsport with
tho strikers Is responsible for tho order.
It Is also said that the plant nt tho Na
tional Tubo company at McKecsport will be
nbnndoned and the old Carneglu plant for
a tubo plant nt Connonut, O., revived. Tho
National Tubo company hnd ln contempla
tion Improvements at McKecsport ot an
extensive nature, but It Is now said that
owing to their disappointment at tho tact
that their men have been drawn Into tho
Amalgamated dispute and tha policy of tho
people at McKecsport they nre seriously
considering a plan to remove No official
statement on tho subject could be obtatucd
from any of tho local officials,
Tho DcwccB-Wood plant was founded
about forty years ngo nnd 1b one ot thu
best known plants In Pennsylvania. Its
yards nnd mills cover betweon twolvo nnd
fourteen acres; It hns employed 1,200
men nt Its busiest times nnd Its cost la
placed at $3,000,000 by officials of the steol
corporation.
Goiuper Tell Why,
President Gompcra of tho American Fed
eration of Labor was nt the strike head
quarters again thla oftornoon with Secre
tary Morrison and was closeted with tho
advisory board of tho Amalgamated asso
ciation for morn than thrco hours. Be
fore ho left tho meotlng ho gavo his prom
ise to support tho strike, hut It was not
until 8 o'clock- that ho gave out the fol
lowing statement:
"Slnco tho arrival of Secretary Morrison
of tho American Foderntlon ot Labor nnd
myself wo havo been ln almost continual
conferonco with tho advisory board of tho
Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steol
and Tin Workers. We mado a thorough
Investigation of tho present strike, of Its
members formorly In tho employ of tho
United States Stool corporation and Its
constituent branches; tho causes which led
tn tho strike; the present situation of the
country, and wo unhesitatingly declare our
Judgment that tho position of the Amal
gamated association Is absolutely Justified
and esscntlnl to Its continuance and effec
tiveness as a union of tha workers ln the
trade, nB well as the protector of tho rights
nnd Interests of Its members,
"It Is true thnt the Amalgamated asso
ciation ln the first conferonco ankcd that
tho United States Steel company sign the
union scalo of wages for all the mills op
erutcd, owned and controlled by that com
pany, but it Is also true that tho request
was withdrawn and another substituted, so
that tho union srnlo should apply to thoso
mills only In which tho members of the
Amalgamated association aro employed; ln
other words, which aro well known to bo
union mills. This the United States Steel
company refused to consider, Insisting that
tha scale should apply only to those mills
which wero union last year, even refusing
to allow two mills to bo Included which,
by n species of hectoring and systematic
organizing of tho company, have become
nonunion during tho year. Even tho first
demand for tho scale to bo applied gen
erally throughout tho Jurisdiction of tho
company was commendable, for tho obvious
reason that nn employer shouM ho willing
to pay u uniform wagu to men who per
form llkn work, but realizing that, as n
demand for thoso whom It did not fully
represent, tho Amalgamated association
modified Its demand to thn extent already
stated,
Situation I DeHperale,
"It appears that the company took tho
position It did with an avowal that It
