WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. Tho Stato de
partmcnt hag received continuation of the
notification of the Colombian government
to Venezuela that It has terminated diplo
matic relation. Thin came. In tho shape
of a cablegram from Minister Hart. Thl
action U the remit of tlio hasty with
drawal Inst August from tho Venezuelan
capital of Dr. ltlco, tho Colombian min
uter there.
Bueh a breach does not necessarily mean
ar, though undoubtedly It Is a Mep In
that direction. Venezuela ban bad several
affair of thla kind, gomo of tho Kuropean
nations withdrawing their representatives
from Caracas for long terms, and only a
year and a half ano our own government
was obliged to give Minister Loomln an
Indefinite leavo of absence from Caracas
as a warning to Venezuela of our dissatis
faction with Its attitude In tho controversy
growing out of thn asphalt dispute
It Is said these manlfeHtntlons of foreign
disapproval have had very little Influence
upon tho Venezuelan government. It Is a
elgnlflrnnt fact that tho breach with Co
lorobla has been .created at tho moment
when Germany Is considering tho adoption
of compulsory measures to seenro the pay
ment by tho Venezuelan Ruvcrnmcnt of a
very high financial liability to German cltl
kens. Watching American Mnrlncs.
It Is supposed hero that President Castro
is proceeding under the theory that the
application of tho Monroo doctrine would
protect him from punitive action by Ger
many, but the impression Among officlala
here Is that this belief Is not well founded.
Homo of tho reports reaching here show
there la apprehension on the part of some
of the Colombians on tho Isthmus, Including
men of considerable Influence, as to the
duration of the stay of American marines.
U has como to tho knowledge of officials
hern that many wild rumors have been
circulated on the, Isthmus as to the extent
of tho trouble that the United States forces,
having once landed, would not be with
drawn, .
These reports have led to Inquiries be
tween Washington and Panama, bringing
out responses that the American occupa
tion was wholly Imaginative and that tho
most definite and positive assurances had
keen given that Immediately on the ful
fillment of this government's obligation to
leep open tho traffic, rtir forces would bo
debarked nnd all authority would to ter
mlnatcd. This purpose of the authorities
has been made known on tho isthmus and
lias served to allay tho fears caused by
reports of American occupation.
Wilt Leave When Snfr.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. With the resto
tatlon of order and open traffic on tho
Isthmus of Panama It Is expected that tho
,Var department will bo enabled to withdraw
fome of thn United States warships now on
duty In that vicinity, nnd It Is probablo
that one ship will be withdrawn on cither
Ride.
There will be no haste, however, in re
ducing thi naval strength, as the officials
feel that tho surrender of the liberals on
tho Isthmus may not terminate the entire
Struggle, The country is so extonslve and
the signs of unrest at Interior points are
o numerous that it Is expected there may
be a recurrence of troublo on the Isthmus
H tho Insurgents at other points continue
to ahow strength. When the battleship Iowa
is withdrawn it will probably go to
Tatcahano to bn docked.
Machias, when relieved, will como north
and bo docked.

"We would Insist," the report says, "that

in cattle. The news tbnt Mr. Dudelstnno

ed Taylor, on the subject of constructing
the Seventeenth street Bide of the Omaha
postoiflce building to conform with tho Six-

Inccd by Mr. Taylor that he haa not money
enough available tn finish tho building, na
tho people of Omaha desire. I shall, when
the proper time comes, offer an amendment
to ono of the appropriation bills appro
priating $75,000 additional to complete the
structure aloiih tho lines contemplated. 1
havo been assured by Senator Allison nnd
other senators that they will aid me In ec
curing the passage of the amendment "
Speaking of bis talk with Senator Millard
Mr. Taylor raid: "Thero remnins only $118.-
000 avnllablo of tho $1,800,000 appropriated
for the building. This amount Is totally In
adequate to erect the structure along the
lines desired. I suggested modified plnns
as a sort of compromise, but Senator Mil-
Brd, I believe, Intends to ask congrees for
an additional appropriation rather than
modify his Ideas an to what is needed for
the building."
