Washington (Special).—The latest de- |
velopment in the Venezuelan-Colom- |
bian situation, viz, the withdrawal of |
the exequaturs of all the Colombian |
consuls in Venezuela, has increased the |
feeling of officials here that the relations |
between the two countries are still of a |
very serious character. In diplomatic |
circles especially the condition existing |
between these two republics is viewed |
with alarm, though their representatives
here are without any recent information
that will throw light on the situation.
The withdrawal of the exequaturs of |
consuls is a decided demonstration of un- |
friendliness to the country they repre- |
sent, and leaves them powerless to trans- |
act any business. Such action usually |
acompanies a declaration of war or a|
state of hostilities. In the present in- |
stance it follows the witlidrawal of the |
Colombian minister, Dr. Rico. from
Caracas to Bogota. The latter's depar-
ture followed a stormy scene in the Ven-
czttelan cabinet as a result of an effort
of President Castro to give Dr. Rico
his passports. Dr. Rico's subsequent
leaving was entirely voluntary, but he |
felt that the situation between the two |
countries was so serious that it was pre-
ferable to communicate with his or
Government person rather than |
through the mails.
The officials of the legations of the |
countries interested continue hopeful that
war may be averted. The Colombians |
say that the people of both republics are
opposed to any war and that the present |
troubles are due to the machinations of |
individuals with perscnal ends in view. |
The navy depatment has been advised |
of the sailing of the battleship Iowa from
Acaqulco, Mexico, for Panama, where |
she has been dispatched to look out for |

SHARP FIGHT IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Colonel Gracias, Two Officers and Fifty Rebels
Killed in a Battle.
Manila (By Cable).—Later accounts |
of the recent engagement in Batangas |
Province between Capt. H. C. Hale,
with a detachment of the Twentieth In-
fantry, with the insurgent leader, Gon-
zales, show that it was more important |
than it was first considered. Many de-
serters and renegades were seen and |
heard giving commands in English. |
Colonel Gracias, two officers and fifty
men were killed after an engagement |
lasting three hours.
Everything points to the early cap-
ture or surrender of Miguel Malvar,
the insurgent leader. When either event
occurs cverything will be favorable to |
the establishment of permanent peace.
It 1s in the plans of the military au-
thorities, as a first step toward reducing
the force, to make two departments
instead of four, which would result in a
considerable saving. The headquarters
of one department would be Manila and
of the other Iloilo. Kach day shows an
increasing number of surrenders and
captures all the disafrected districts.
