The rumors are said to be of . Ttalian and Spanish origin and inspired by traders of those countries for the purpose of influ- g trade. The wish is father to the thought, but the State Department has the best of assurances outh American friendship and has no fear of an alliance against this country. It s true that for some y there has been an unfriendly feeling inChile and Argentine, which is easily explained and quite natural. President Harrison had to give Chile a lesson in manners, and Argentine is controlled by British and Italians, who think they are our rivals. But the feeling in these countries is growing better, and it has no influence upon othe uth American republics. An official of the State Department whose business it is There 1S no anxiety z ASHINGTON, South Aug. 4 to keep posted on South American affairs and conditions said to-day concerning the reported alliance: “You can rely upon it there iIs nothing serious in it. It is an old rumor revived. We had it when President Cleveland sent the Venezuela message to Congress. We had it again when the protocol was signed for the suspen- sion of hostilities with Spain, and now we have it because of some fancied supposition that we intend to get hold of San Domingo. It is the British, Italians, Spanish and Germans in South America who are raising the cry for commercial purposes. I have read all the South American papers closely and cannot find that such sentiments by South Americans have really any existence among them. 1 see President Roca of Argentine intends to visit Brazil and presumably will solicit Brazil to enter the alliance which he is- projecting. It is inconceivable that Brazil should ive any heed to such a movement. Brazil has always been on terms of greatest friendship with us, and for good reasons MANCHESTER, Mass, Aug. 4—Senor Aspiroz, Mexican Embassador to the United States, who is spending the summer here, was much interested in the dispatches which reported the departure of President Roca of the Argentine Republic with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and thirty Senators from Buenos Ayres for Brazil. Senor Aspiroz said he had not learned of such a movement. He gave it as his opinion there could be no founda- tion in fact for the report that an alliance was contemplated between the South American republics against the United States, and to bear him out in his opinion referred to the movement started by Brazil, with a contribution of $250,000 for the purpose of establishing a steamer line between that country and the United States, Nicaragua and Honduras, he asserted, intended to contract an alliance between themselves, but the Embassador holds that to be insignificant. the arrival of the “Revolution commences to-day in| hed : 3 Dajabon.

He had been playing in the semi-final game only a few minutes when he and an American named Mackey collided. Both ponies fell and rolled over. Mr. Mackey was unhurt, but Drybrough’s skull was fractured and he expired to- day without having recovered conscious- ness. Mr. Mackey is a native of Wisconsin.

Mr.” Libbey has charge of the remains. The bodies are to be buried -by the side of the old liberator in the little plat at North. Elba.

Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL WEL- LINGTON Aug. 4.—Secretary Root’s short expe- rience in the War Department has al- ready convinced him that the views of military commanders, General Otis, who favor a larger mili- HEADQUARTERS, | tary force than recommended by that officer, are worthy of serious considera- | tion. There are reasons to believe he will recommend that the force be fur- | ther augmented. Secretary Root and General Corbin will visit Lake Champlain on August 12 to remain several days, and the whole Philippine situation will be thor- oughly discussed with the President. I understand the plan of operations for the fall campaign contemplates the division of the islands into several mil- itary departments, and General Law- ton will have command of the one in which cavalry troops will operate. It is probable that General Wheeler will be given command of a brigade of cavalry in General Lawton’s depart- ment. The boundary line of Lawton's department will embrace the territory in which there will probably be the heaviest fighting, so that Lawton will be in direct charge of the most impor- tant forces in the field, and in this way Jeneral Otis, while not being officially “turned down,” will be relieved of much responsibility in connection with the conduct of the war, and will be left free to perform the duty of mili- | tary Governor. Secretary Root is in accord with the programme for increasing the force in the Philippines, and with the general plan outlined by General Otis for the fall campaign, which has been ap- proved by the President. The Secretary has seen many communications favor- ing a larger fore however, and if there is not a decided improvement in the situation it is understood he will advocate the sending of several addi- tional regiments in time for the au- tumn operations. Secretary Root favors an effective fighting force of about fifty thousand in the Philippines. With the provis- jonal army of fifteen thousand already | organizing, thirty thousand regulars already in the island, three volunteer regiments organizing there, and non- combatants of the Signal and Hospital Corps, a total of about 50,000 has al- ready been provided for, but the Sec- retary would like to see this number still further increased by several regi- HOTEL, WASHINGTON, | subordinate to ! | ments of regulars.

The Fourth FAILURE 0F REVOLUTION LN COLOMBIA Plot of Scheming Radicals Promptly Discovered by Government, g Special Cable to The Call and the New Yorik Herald. Copyrighted, 153, by James Gor- don Bennett. OGOTA, Colombia, Aug. 4.—Re- garding the recent attempt to cause a revolution, it is stated that the National Government, owing to the rising in Venezuela, was able to discover in time the revo- lutionary plan of the Radical party in Colombia. Consequently, on July 28, an official decree was issued in Ana- perma, the actual residence of the President of the republic, signed by all members of the Cabinet, declaring that | public order was disturbed in the de- Cavalry is now in the Philippines and | | eine | orders to go.

Hongkong having been made too | hot for the Filipino junta, through the efforts of United States Consul Genefal Wildman, the rebels decided to attempt to establish their headquarters in Ma- | | nila. They were encouraged to try this | | daring experiment by the fact that un- “der a recent decree of Governor Gen- | eral Otis the Philippine courts are now conducted by natives. | So Crisanto Lichancho, the treasurer | of the junta, went boldly to Manila and | professed friendship for General Otis. The scheme worked so well that the delighted junta has celebrated its vic- tory with a grand ball. The British residents are disgusted at the weakness of the American au- thorities at Manila and at the unhappy result of Consul General Wildman's long fight here against the rebels.
