tempted.
NEW YORK , Aug. 31. The Associa
ted Press has received the following
dispatch dated Bogota , August 24
from a Colombian official of high
rank :
' General Pedro D. Ospino , acting
minister of war , who has prepared an
excellent and extensive plan of cam
paign , confirms the reports that with
in the last fifteen days he has .destroy
ed nearly all of tho Colombian guer
rillas.
. -The government Colombia has
maintained strict neutrality regardin
Ecuador and Venezuela , notwith
standing the fact that the governments
of the said countries have upheld and
effectively aided the rebels of Colom
bia , thus prolonging the revolution in
this country.
Recently the revolutionary chiefs of
Colombia have met on the frontier of
Venezuela to organize new invasions
of Colombia , using the munitions of
war accumulated by the government
of Venezuela on her frontiers.
A party of Venezuelans , surrounded
near Cucuta , are about to return to
their country. They are commanded
by Rangel Garibas. The position tak
en by the government of Colombia
is one of peace and neutrality. These
are fundamental canons in her foreign
policy. The frontiers of Colombia are
sufficiently defended. Colombia feels
certain that she can maintain her
rights and repel whatever foreign in
vasions may offer.
COLON , Colombia , Aug. 31. Dr.
Juis Carlos Rico. Colombian minister
to Venezuela , before his departure for
Bogota , officially assured Senor Velez ,
governor of Cartagena , that he' was
going-to inform his government with
reference to the situation between Ven
ezuela and Colombia. He expressed
the opinion that peace would be pre
served by both nations and that the
existing difficulties would be overcome.
* The Colombian official newspaper in
Cartagena declared that the entire
province of Pachira , Venezuela , touch
s ing Colombia south of Maracaibo , is in
V-
the power of the Venezuelan insur
gent leader , General Rangel Garbiras.
It also asserts that the Colombian
general , Gonzales Garcia , until recent
ly Colombian minister of Avar , is now
on the frontier with-no less than 10-
000 Colombian troops disposed in the
province of Santander , and maintain
ing the sovereignty of Colombia there.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Aug. 31
.General Gillespie has been designated
'acting secretary by the president un-
* der an act of 1882 , which , authorizes
-the head of a bureau to be acting sec a

GREAT CHANCES IN ORIENT.
Congressman Hull of Iowa Gives Im
pressions of the Philippines.
SAN FRANCISCO , Aug. 30. Con
gressman Hull of Iowa , chairman of
the house committee on military af
fairs , who has arrived here from a
five months' tour of China , Japan and
the Philippines , is .deeply impressed
with the possibilities of the new
American possessions in the Orient.
Ho says :
"If I was a young man I don't know
where I would rather so than
to the Philippines. For a man of
brains and .industry the .islands open
a vast prospect in most every line of
business for one who has the grit to
go there and stick to it.
"The mineral , agricultural and tim
ber resourcesof these islands consti
tute a field of commercial enterprise
that is practically unlimited. Of course
the present conditions of brigandage
make it exceedingly unsafe for people
to settle in the islands away from the
protection of the military posts. . But
the people , or the great majority , de
sire peace and safety and are doing
all they can to help the troops 'attain
this end.
"Of course , it is impossioie to make
an 'Anglo-Saxon out of an Oriental ,
therefore the Filipino will probably
never be an American ( citizen in the
brogd sens'e that is understood by all
that term conveys to the man born in
the United States of white parents.
But as soon as he gets a sufficient
education and becomes a little more
impregnated with our ideas and loses
some of the ideas acquired by a 300
years * association with the Spaniards ,
the Filipino will be a citizen in spirit ,
patriotism , industry and education and
willbe worthy -participating to the
fullest extent in all the benefits of
this government.
"Of course , we will have to govefn
them with firmness as well as with
kindness. I think that 40,000 troops
is about the right number to keep
there for some years to come. "

OMAHA , Neb. , . Aug. 28. George H.
Maxwell , secretary of the National Ir
rigation associatipn , was in the city
on his way from Chicago to1 Denver ,
where he is to attend the National For
estry congress which will be in ses
sion in that city.
Speaking of the progress of the sen
timent on the subject of irrigation
among people in the east , Mr. Max
well said :
"The drouth of the month of July
has increased the interest in the sub
ject of irrigation in all parts of the
country. I addressed the Missouri
State Press association a few weeks
ago when the drouth was at its worst.
Missouri up to this time has been
generally opposed , to government ap
propriation for irrigating purposes , but
since that meeting I have noticed
that many of the influential papers
of the state are advocating the idea.
"I believe that much can be done
in Nebraska toward improving the
conditions existing without govern- ,
mental intervention. I recently wrote
for the Bee an article in which I fa-
vored the plan of building pools and
damming the draws and , ravines so
that the ( rainfall could be stored. I
believe that if the state would offer
t
a small mounty for each acre of land
flooded by this means it would be the
means of reclaiming from drouth a
large part of the farm lands of the
western part of the state. I was talk
ing to Henry Fox of Nelson on this
subject and he says that , leading-from
the rivers .in that part of the state ,
the country around Nelson is too 'rough '
for irrigation , but that there is con
siderable land which * might be irri
gated from ravines and pools. He
also advanced an idea which should
prove of advantage , and that is where
$
a roadway is built over a ravine it
should be built in the form of. a dam , (
with drainage pipes several feet above
the bottom of the ravine , so that they
would form a dam at little additional
expense , and thus create the storage
reservoirs when the road was being
built.
"At the meeting of the forestry con C
gress I shall talk upon the subject of
Irrigation and the Forests , ' taking the
position that the government should M
immediately begin the process of re lo
foresting large acreages in the west.
This can be done easily and it is the
generally accepted belief that forests th
increase the rainfall , so that the gov thA
ernment could be doing two admir do
able things at one time. " fei

Bulls , calves and stags sold in about yes

hogs , and as advices from other points
were not unfavorable to the selling in

higher. The hulk of the early sales went
from ? 6 to 56.05 and as high as * 6.23 was
paid for prime heavyweights. The lighter
grades and the common stuff , sold from $ 5
down. The hogs did not change hands
very rapidly , owing to the fact that buy
ers did not like to pay the advance , but
still the bulk of the offerings was out of

Sheep There were only a few bunches

of sheep and lambs In the yards today
and the quality of those that were offer
ed was nothing extra. The market was
not partlqularly active , but still little or
no change was noticeable in the prices
