W., WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—That Vene- zuela has really committed an act of war upon Colombia is established by a cable- gram to the State Department to-day by Minister Bowen at Caracas. Bowen stated that the “Venezuelan fleet” was re- ported as having gone to a Colombian port, believed to be Rio Hacha, for the purpose of landing a force to assist the Colombian insurgents in the capture of | | that piace. This statement confirms the dispatch re- ceived by the Colombian Legation on Sat- urday last from Senor Bocerra at Cur- acao, stating that the “Venezuelan fleet” was then bombarding Rio Hacha. Minister Silva and Senor Herran have | | expressed the opinion that Senor Bocerra meant by the “Venezuela fleet” several vessels fitted out In Venezuela and under the command of Colombian insurgents. Senor Herran is not disposed to attach | importance to the attack on Rio Hacha, ting out that the Colombian rebels at t point were dispersed before they | could receive Venezuelan assistance.

LONDON, Sept. 11.—Mart Fall Fau- geron, a Frenchman, who was charged to- day at the Clerkenwell Police Court with the murder of Herman Jung, an old jeweler of Clerkenwell, about ten days ago, told a remarkable story of a plot to kill Joseph Chamberlain, the Colonial | Secretary. | The day of the murder Jung sum- moned him to his shop, where they dis- cussed the misery caused by the South can war, for which Jung declared amberlain was responsible, and_Jung told Faugeron that if he could kill Cham- berlain he (Jung), through intermediaries, would guarantee him a fortune, tendering him $20 to buy good clothes in order to approach his vietim. Faugeron says he refused, whereupon Jung declared he should not leave the | shop alive, and picking up a_ heavy iron rushed on Faugeron and felled him to the | ground. Faugeron, in self-defense, drew a knife and stabbed his assallant In the neck.

G. Mitchell of Riverside, commander; Thomas Brady, | Can be written most easily with a foun- notice, but formalities are expected to consume most of to-morrow's session, which, after all, is likely to be short, ow- ing to the late hour of beginning. No summons has yet been issued for Admiral Sampson an® it is said very few formal summonses have been issued by the department. Although mno positive statement on that point is made it Is gathered from the attitude of ‘the Gov- ernment officers that they have no present intention of calling Admiral Sampson. While observing all the forms that are necessary to maintain the dignity of the court tkere is no disposition on the part of its members to try to magnify its im- portance by useless ceremony. Therefore there will be no waste of gunpowder in salutes, nor will the marines be turned out in state at the navy yard as the three admirals make their way to and from the building where the court will meet. To- morrow they will o to the yard in plain clothing and thus relieve the commandant of the necessity of ordering an official sa- lute. In the retiring room adjacent to the courtroom provided for their accommoda- tion they will array themselves tn what is known as the naval dress uniform. Precisely at 1 o'clock the members of the court will be seated, Admiral Dewey e e e e e e S e e e S e FREIGHT DASHES DOWN MOUNTAIN Four Men Perish in a Great Northern Disaster. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Sept. 11.—A freight wreck, resulting in the loss of four lives and seri- ous injury to the conductor, occurred at Wellington, on the Great Northern, this morning at 11 o’clock. The dead: ENGINEER FRANK DAHLGREN. FIREMAN JOHN CAMPBELL. SECTION EMPLOYE KNIGHT. AN UNKNOWN MAN, supposed to be a tramp stealing his way on the train. The wreck was due to the engineer of westbound freight train No. 15 losing con- trol cf the airbrakes in making the west- ern decline of Cascade tunnel. The train ran away, and, fast increasing its speed, it dashed ‘through the village of Wening- ton at the rate of sixty miles an hour. ‘When about one mile west of Wellington it was derailed. Conductor Nordquist's hand was crushed off and he received serious injuries on the head. He was brought to Everett City on a special train. The wreck took fire, and at Jast report it was still burning. Either Literature or Bank Checks tain pen.

He will not be recognized as counsel by the court, how- ever, unless some of his clients are in- volved in the case by the testimony. Challenge Is Expected. The judge advocate first will address the court and read the precept under be the pecognition of counsel by the court, and Captain Lemly then will intro- duce 'Mr. Hulse as officlal stenographer. Next may come the most interesting part of the day's proceedings, namely, the ex- pected challengc by Admiral _Schley's counsel of the competency of Rear Ad- miral Howison as a member of the court. The expectation is that an hour or two will be consumed in argument by counsel directed to the two members of the court whose competency is not questioned.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 10.—Fifty Armenian / revolutionists, according to Turkish reports, recently set fire to the Mussulman headquarters at Mush, Turk- ish Armenia, where fighting afterward occurred, the Armenians retiring toward Sassoun. It is also reported that on September 3 Armenians and Turks blew up the bar- racks at Sassoun, where 3000 troops were stationed, and that a state of panic pre- vailed there in consequence. Such Turkish reports have previously been the forerunners of massacres of Ar- menians, and it is generally apprehended by non-Mussulmans here that massacres have already taken place.

Distinguished Men in the Sea Service Cather in Washington for Attend- ance at What Will Probably Prove the Most Sensational Investi- gation That Has Ever. Occurred in the History of the Navy Department mirals Dewey and Benham then will re- tire and determine whether or not the statements presented are sufficient to make manifest the incompetency of Rear Admiral Howison. There will be no ap- peal from the qecision of the court on that point. Even the Secretary of the Navy could not undo its work. The headquarters of Admiral Schley was a scene of great activity to-day. Up to noon five of the witnesses named by the admiral had been in consultation with Messrs. Wilson and Raynor and had in- formed them of the iine of testimony which can be expected from them when called before the court. They were Lieu- tenant Edward W. Eberle, Lieutenant Albert A. Ackerman, Lieutenant Johnson and Lieutenant Commander R. F. Nichol- son, all of whom were on the Oregon dur- ing the Santiago sea fight (the last named | being the executive officer of the vessel | during = the battle). and Lieutenant Charles Webster, who was on Admiral Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn, during the fight. A number of civilian witnesses also were closeted with the counsel dur- ing the morning, but thelr names were not disclosed. Captain Cook, who com- manded the Breoklyn, probably will' be the first witness. * NAVAL OFFICER IN HOT WATER Court of Inquiry Sus- tains Charges Against Colonel Meade. PRI AN Longest Session in History \of the Navy Ends Sen- sationally. — ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—The longest court of inquiry in the history of the navy, that held at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to investigate trouble in the Marine Corps, has come to a sensational termina- tion, bringing in a recommendation which may result in very serious consequences for an officer of high rank. Major C. H. Lauchheimer and Colonel F. L. Denny charged Colonel Robert Meade with drunkenness on duty while |an inspection was in progress at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Colonel Meade re- plied by charging Major Lauchheimer with making a false report and Colonel Denny with reporting against him (Meade) |in order to cover up Irregularities with | contractors on Denny’s part. The court of inquiry acquitted Major Lauchheimer and Coionel Denny of Colo= nel Meade's charges. It sustained the charge against Colonel Meade, and in ad- dition charged him with violation of the naval regulations in replying with a coun- ter-charge when asked for a report, and also of false swearing on the witness stand. The court recommended that the colcnel be tried by court-martial upon these charges. The court lasted four weeks, breaking all naval records for a court of inquiry. In adition it was marked by an extraor nary event in the fact that on the teenth day of the trial Commander West, president of the court, was challenged by Major Lauchheimer and required to with- draw from membership by his colleagues. The_reasons for the challenge sent out by Major Lauchheimer was that Com- mander West was, by friendship for Colo- nel Meade, unable to act impartially. @ il O NO PEAGE YEI, Y3 SHAFFER Amalgamated Associa- tion President De- nies Reports. PITTSBURG, Sept. 11.—While positive stories of a peaceful settlement of the | strike of the Amalgamated Association continued to be heard to-day, President Shaffer denied them emphatically and said | that the battle of the steel workers would | 80 on until they won. He denied that the | executive board had instructed to set- | tle the strike on ary terms and sald that he would not go to New York or make any further peace movement for the pres- t. en | ~ While the president of the Amalgamated | Association was standing in this position, the officials of the United States Steel Corporation were putting forth active ef- forts to start their plants. During to-day the company held strikers’ pickets bacic and got a lot of provisions and cots into the Monongahela mills. It was announced at the same time that there was an ample number of men ready to enter the plant | and start the mills as soon as they were in readiness. The officials of the same company showed even greater activity about the Star mills. About 11 o'clock in the morn- ing a car containing about sixty skilled men for the Star plant arrived in the un- fon station. These men were taken to the plant without any interference from the strikers. The recruits came from the East and it is said many of them had broken away from the ranks of the strik- ers in other mills. Secretary Williams said he was prepar- ing to send out the second installment of strike benefits during the day and would have them all out during the week. The number to recelve benefits is not more than 10,000 and this will require about $40.- 000 weekly. It is stated that the Amaiga- mated treasury, reimbursed by the lodges whose members are at work, will be able to meet the payments with the aid of funds contributed by sympathizers.
