and sat down beside a powerfully built

As the car was nearlng West Broadway

Youngstown, O., Aug. 13.—The offi-
cial announcement was made Monday
afternoon thai the Youngstown plant
of the American San company would
be dismantled and the machinery ship-
ped to other r'ants of the concern.
These works employ seventy-five
hands.
The steamer will go down through
the old canal to LaSalle and then into
the Illinois river. At Peoria it will take
a pilot, which will guide it down the
lower Illinois and the Mississippi riv-
ers. it will go out the South Pass of
the Mississippi through the Eads jet-
ties. and from the river mouth will
turn north again to enter Lake Pontch-
artrain and go through the lake and
the connecting island waterwas to Mo-
bile. There it will be used as a freight
and passenger steamer on the Fish
river.
Washington, Aug. 10.—The situation
In Colombia and Venezuela continued
to occupy much of the attention of
officials here Friday, and while it was
not felt that affairs had reached a se-
rious aspect, yet it was appreciated
that both the official and unofficial
advices indicated a conditiom of affairs
which might mean war between Co-
lommia and Venezuela, complicated by
revolutionary outbreaks in both coun-
tries.
Friday the state department received
a mail communication from Consul
General Gudger at Panama, and
though it was dated nearly a month
ago, it told of the landing of a revolu-
tionary expedition and expressed the
current belief held at Panama that this
would be followed by other expedi-
tions.
The department also received a lat-
ter from J. Edward Simmons of New-
York, president of the Panama Rail-
way company, confirming his commu-
nication of Thursday relative to the
trouble on the isthmus and stating that
the superintendent of the road had ad-
vised him as to the depredations of an
Insurgent band, which did not number,
however, much over fifty men.
The more serious aspect of the mat-
ter was presented in the press dis-
patches from Willemstadt, stating that
the Colombians again had invaded
Venezuela. There was no official con-
firmation as to this, but if it should
prove correct there seems little chance
of avoiding an open conflict between
those two countries, as such an inva-
sion by Colombia would in itself be an
act of war.
At the navy deaprtment it was de-
cided definitely to send the battleship
Wisconsin down to San Diego. Cal., in
case the desirability of that move be-
came evident by the time she reached
San Francisco, and the state depart-
ment was so advised. A force will be
sent from the North Atlantic squad-
ron if it should become desirable.
Mr. Herran, the first secretary of the
Colombian legation, who is now in
charge during Dr. Silva's absence,
said: "The point at which an iitvasii
is now feared is near the border land
in the vicinti yof Meta river, south of
the lake of Maracalbo."
The Colombian minister of war is | Akai
&en. '6oh2a'feS '^atenrta; Wno 'has 'V
god record as a fighter, and has ren-
dered distinguished services during the
guerilla warfare of a year past, and
Mr. Herran thought it quite likely
that he had been called upon to lead
'.he army of Colombia.
Dallas, Tex., Aug. 10.—Capt Dapray,
the recruiting ofllcer for the United
States army here, left for Oklahoma
City and Guthrie, Ok., to make enlist-
ments. He will also wisit Foyil, I. T.»
to enlist nine men reported at that
place. Last Tues£y uine men were
enlistea at Mount PleaeatL six on Wed-
nesday at Fort Worth an4 five here on
Thursday. These, together with the
nine men enlisted by Lieut. Gilbert at
Moody and Cleburne, Tex., and those
previously enlisted here, make a total
of thirty-eight for the Bret eight days
of August. Add to that number the
twenty men on probation not yet en-
listed and the number secured in eight
days would be fifty-eight, greater even
than last month's record-breaking
work of the north Texas station.
Under advices from Washington no
more will be enlisted for infantry in
Alaska, and those for coast artillery
will go to San Diego Barracks, Cal., in-
stead of to San Francisco, Cal., as
heretofore. The light or field battery
men will continue to be sent to San
Antonio, and all calvary enlistments
are for the present suspended.
Lieut. Gilbert closed the Cleburne
station and returned here, while Cor-
poral Doherty went to McKinney to
open a substation at that place. At
present there are subrecruiting sta-
tions at Fort Worth, Tex., Oklahoma

Senator Staples presented a petition
from the Fortnightly club of Brenham,
a social and literary organization com-
posed of women, cooperating with the
State Federation of Women's Clubs,
asking the legislature to appropriate

the University of Texas. The petition
was signed by a committee composed
of Mesdames C. C. Garrett, L. J. Lock-

James R. Woods, the winner of the

Washington, Aug. 9.—The annual re>
port of MaJ. Gen. MacArthur, dated
July 4, 1901, the day that he relin-
quished command of the division of
the Philippines, has been received at
the war department. The period cov-
ered by the report is from Oct. 1, 1900,
when the last report from Gen. Mac-
Arthur was dated. He reviews the
policy of the Filipinos who were hos-
tile to the Americans, saying that their
action since the practical collapse of
the insurrection has been a perplexing
problem. With the disbandment of
the insurgent field armies the Filipinos
organized desperate resistance by
banding the people together In support
of the guerillas. This was carried out
by means of secret committees who
collected contributions, inflicted pun-
ishments and carried on a consider-
able opposition to the Americans.
Gen. MacArthur reviews the manner
In which operations were carried on
against these guerillas, and says he
hopes the policy adopted will in time
conciliate the natives and make them
friendly to the United States. The
education of the people in times past
made them suspicious of any govern-
mental beneficence, and they evidently
looked upon the lenient attitude of the
United States as an indication of weak-
ness. Gen. MacArthur says that the
