HAS A WARLIKE LOOK
The Colombian Government Terminates
Relations With Venezuela.
ACTION IS VIEWED WITH GRAVITY
Withdrawal of Minister Rico Last August
Is Cause of the Breach—Foreign Dcbl
Embarrasses Venezuela — What Ger
many's Demands Indicate.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 30.—The State
department has received confirmation
of the notification of the Colombian
government to Venezuela that it has
terminated diplomatic relations. This
came in the shape of a cablegram
from Minister Hart. This action is
the result of the hasty withdrawal
last August from the Venezuelan cap
ital of Dr. Rico, the Colombian min
ister there.
Such a breach does not necessarily
mean war, though undoubtedly it is
a step in that direction. Venezuela
has had several affairs of this kind,
some of the European nations with
drawing their representatives from
Caracas for long terms, and only a
year and a half ago our own gov
ernment was obliged to give Minister
Loomis an indefinite leave of absence
from Caracas as a warning to Vene
zuela of our dissatisfaction with its
attitude in the controversy growing
out of the asphalt dispute.
It is said that manifestations of
foreign disapproval have had very lit
tle influence upon the Venezuelan
government. It is a significant fact
that the breach with Colombia has
been created at the moment when Ger
many is considering the adoption of
compulsory measures to secure the
payment by the Venezuelan govern
ment of a very high financial liability
to German citizens.
It is supposed here that President
Castro is proceeding under the the
ory that the application of the Mon
roe doctrine would protect him from
unitive action by Germany, but the
impression among officials here is that
this belief is not well founded.
Some of the reports reaching here
show there is apprehension on the
part of some of the Colombians on the
isthmus, including men of consider
able influence, as to the duration of
the stay of American marines. It has
come to the knowledge of officials
here that many wild rumors have been
circulated on the isthmus as to the.
extent of the trouble that the United
States forces, having once landed,
would not be withdrawn.
These reports have led to inquiries
between Washington and Panama,
bringing out responses that th6 Amer-,
ican occupation was wholly imagina
tive and that the most definite and;
positive assurances had been given;
that immediately on the fulfillment
of this government’s obligation to,
keep open the traffic, our forces woulc'i
be debarked, and all authority would
be terminated. This purpose of the,
authorities has been made known on
the isthmus and has served to allay
the fears caused by reports of Amer
ican occupation.
With the resoration of order and
open traffic on the isthmus of Pan
ama it is expected that the War de
partment will be enabled to withdraw
some of the United States warships
now on duty in that vicinity, and
it is probable that one ship will be
withdrawn on either side.

Wins His Protested Suit for Separation
From His Wife.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 2'.).--A special
to the Star from Medicine l.odge, Kau.,
says: David Nation was granted a
divorce from his wife, Mrs. Carrie Na

charge of cruelty to her husband and
divided the property. The Medicine
Dodge home will go to Mr. Nation and
outlying property to his wife.

Mr. Nation, in support of his petition
for divorce, cited a letter from hfs
wife in which she denounced him as
a "hellhound hypocrite.” He charged
that she did not attend to his wants.

Thrown From HIh Cub and Killed.
The following is a most interesting
and, in one respect, pathetic tale: —
Mr. J. Pope, 42 Ferrar Road, Streat
ham, England, said:
“Yes, poor chap, he is gone, dead—
horse bolted thrown off his seat on
his cab he was driving and killed—
poor chap, and a good sort, too, mate.
It was him, you see, who gave me the
half-bottJe of St. Jacobs Oil that
made a new man of me. ’Twas like
this: me and Bowman were great
friends. Some gentleman had given
him a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil which
had done him a lot of good; he only
used half the bottle, and remembering
that I had been a martyr to rheuma
tism and sciatica for years, that I had
liteially tried everything, had doctors,
and all without benefit, I became dis
couraged, and looked upon it that
there was no help for me. Well,” said
Pope, "You may not believe me, for
it. is a miracle, but before I had
used the contents of the half-bottle
of St. Jacobs OH which poor Bowman
gave me, I was a well man. There
it is, you Bee, after years of pain, after
using remedies, oils, embrocations,
horse liniments, and spent money on
doctors without getting any better, I
was completely cured in a few days.
1 bought another bottle, thinking the
pain might come back, but it did not,
so X gave the bottle away to a friend
who had a lame hack. I can't speak
too highly of this wonderful pain
killer.”
