"Venezuela's differences," added tho cor respondent's informant, "arc entirely with thn Colombian liberals and the Colombian government and in no way with thn Co lombian people gcnrrnlly. If the Colombian liberals were to triumph tomorrow and thn conservatives to full In consequence the Venezuelan-Colombian Imbroglio would Immediately censo to exist. Tho Vene zuelan govornmont earnestly desires tho downfall of tho present Colomblnn govern ment, which menace Vonozuoln. If war comes, one decisive Venezuelan victory on tho frontier over the Colombian regulars probably will effect tho downfall of thi3 government and so terminate- tho war.

This oxperimont wnB tried under Hollvnr and failed. Gen einl Urlbc-Urlbe, by his recent decree, Is nlonu responsible for IhU Idea, which Is credited to I'resldcnt Castro nnd which tho latter repudiates. Venezuela nnd Colombia could never live under the rarao govern-, ment. President Castro knows too much to mako tho experiment. "As to tho actions of our gunboats be fore 11 liaehn during the past month wo 'ero only watching tho Colombians' move ments. Wo havo not onco nr.rposcly crossed tho Colombian frontier. Possibly during the recent erfgugement at Uuajulra our soldiers inadvertently passed the Indefi nite mountainous boundary, but thatf Is all, whllo Colombia has continually crossed our frontier. A fortnight ngo the Colom bian genornla, Valencia And Vert!, and the Venezuelan general, Hangel Carnhas, de cided to invade Venozuola from Cucutota. We arc still awaiting tho invasion.

When tho Colombians tnvldcd at San Cristobal in July wo requested Scnor Hlco then and there to cxplnln his country's action. Mo said he must first communiato with Hogota. Tho minister then proceeded to Colnmhln nnd wo nro yet waiting Colom bia's oxplanatton of this Invasion. Until this comes or Colombia falls to respond Venezuela will not take aggrcsslvo action. Meantime, if Colombia again assumes tho iggrcselvc, we shall retaliate when in read iness. , "Tho offer of tho United States to mediate In the matter was expressed to us verbally by the American minister. Venezuela could not accept tho offer, because our re quest to Senor Rico for an oxplanatton has not been received nnd matters between the two countries havo not reached a con. dttlon whore mediation Is possible. No tate of war exists. Tho government at Caracas Is still without reliable news re garding tho conditions at La llacha."

A few days after Vance left town Mrs. Snow received n postal from Sioux Cltv signed A. K. Ladd, requesting that his mail be forwarded there. The handwriting Is the same ns that of tho "professor."

If weather conditions of today presngo anything this prophesy will bo fulfilled. After four dnys of almost calm weather n rattling breezo blew In from tho northeast this morning and by sunrlso It had reached half a gale.

Tneklng to port at 2:22, when It had reached the north -side ot tho mnln ship rhannel, the cup defender stood out (o sea. In this narrow channel, however, it was forced to tack apaln In six minutes. Tho wind was light nnd them was quite an ugly swell rolling in from tho eastward which knocked tho wind out of tho sails.

Columbia wsh forced to mako thirteen tacks to cover a scant three miles, so that it may be easily Hcen It was not able to show any speed during tho spin, especially ns tho wind wns light nnd bnfillng.

If Shamrock should lose, I can certainly sny I hnvo dono everything a man could do to put a yncht In perfect condition for a race and I think nvoryone admits that It Is as nenr perfect as can be."

Finishing touches wero put on tho paint w'ork ind all tho standing and running gear recolved a final overhaujlng.
