WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. Colombia will
formally demand of Nicaragua an explana
tion In regard to the latter country' al
leged participation In tbe revolution against
(be Colombian government and back up Ita
demand with the moat formidable land and
naval force it can muster ae eoon aa the
present rebel activity on the lathmua haa
been crushed. Information to thle effect
was received from an authoritative aourca
In Washington todav.
The above intelligence causea consider
able surprise in diplomatic clrclee, for but
few weeks ago it waa announced that Mr.
Concha, the Colombian minister, and. Mr.
Corea, the Ntcaraguan minister, bad estab
lished an entente cordials between their
respective governments; that bygones were
to be regarded as bygones, and that the
time was ripe for a satisfactory under
standing by the two governments.
It ia now learned that the initial move
toward the establishment of an amicable
understanding between Nicaragua and Co
lombia waa made by Mr. Corea, who alao
proposed to Mr. Concha an adjustment of
the difficulties which have so long been
pending over Colombia'! claim to the own
ership ot a strip of what ia claimed by
Nicaragua to be part of ita coast line.
Minister Concha declined to accede to tbe
Jatter proposition, declaring that a claim
which Colombia had brought forward for so
many years could not be adjusted, or, in
fact, brought In any material degree to
ward adjustment by tbe methods auggeated
tr ths M'.iirss--ss minister. Kswrrer. Mr.
Concha waa entirely willing to Join Mr.
Corea in an lotente cordlale.
Arm for Colombia RekeU.
Immediately after Minister Corea'a ar
rival In Nicaragua, where be went some
weeks ago on a leave of absence, the Co
lombian official here, it la stated, re
ceived information to the effect that arms
and ammunition for the Colombian rebels
en the Isthmus were being shipped from
. Corlnto.
. CheCbloblan .legation here had been re
ceiving reports of this character contin
ually and In view of the arrangement ef
fected with the Nloeraguan minister be
fore he left Washington Senor Concha lost
Ho time In calling Mr. Corea's attention to
the matter. The latter officially replied
that President Zelaya would immediately
Institute an investigation to asoertaln if
the reports were well founded.
A short time ago, however, more reports
were received in Washington to tbe effect
that Nicaragua still eontlnued Its material
support of the revolutionists on the isthmus
and now Colombia, it ia stated, finds Its
patience exhausted and haa decided to pre
sent a formal demand for an explanation.
Meanwhile, it la understood, the entente
eordlale has only a nominal existence.
It la not anticipated that the affair will
lead to an actual war with Nicaragua, but,
nevertheless, Colombia la making prepara
tions to back up Ita repreaentations with a
reinforced army and navy. It develops that
the purchaae of the well armed war vessel
at Seattle, as well as aeveral prospective
purchases of war ships for the Colombian
navy, have Nicaragua rather than the pres
ent troubles on the isthmus in view.

Alliance Petitions Roosevelt.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., Aug. 88. The Pub
lic alliance of thle city, which haa been
endeavoring to bring about a settlement
of the ooal strike in the interest of the
buelnesa man of the anthracite region, haa
aent the following appeal to President '
Roosevelt:
To the President of tha TTnlteit S.t.-
Since the Inception of the barbarous and
enseless struggle in the anthracite con I
region, we. the non-combatants who atand
upon neutral ground, have suffered the In
evitable fate of such unfortunates. The
iiae or Dai tie etbs and flows over and .
about us. We have endured patiently. W'e
have petitioned humbly. We had hoped
for much upon J. P. Morgan's return. But
now, after a struggle of four months dura
tion, a period of Buffering and progressive
business paralysis, when it seemed to us
that the time wa propitious for a settle
ment of some kind. It riot as a matter of
concession to 'public opinion, yet as a
plain, business proposition, Mr. Morgan
has met with his henchmen and the edict
haa gone forth "There will be no settle
ment, no arbitration, no conciliation, no
mediation, no concession. The fight must
go on."
Mr. Morgan haa placed a ban upon u
Which mean universal ruin, destitution,
riot and bloodshed. Is J. P. Morgan greater
than the people? Is he mightier than tbe
government? Will he be permitted to re
tain thla menacing power? It Is time
that the people should speak. It Is time -that
their voice should be heard. Repre
senting the interest and sentiments of '
nine-tenths of our people, w appeal to
you to use your influence to atay the jug
gernaut which crushes us. Encouraged by
your recent utterances, relying upon your
judgment and patriotism, confident of your
moral courage, we appeal from the king of
truats to the president of th people.
