"Immense quantities of arms and ammunition are being manufactured lu the arsenals of China, and immense quantities are also being imported mainly by way of the Yang tse-Kiang." "A new aspect of the war, which seems to kindle anew, with the help of foreigners, who threaten the frontier, places the government under the necessity of assuming a different attitude from that liiahitalned hitherto and forces it to proceedings which It has previously tried to avoid. NO CHANGE IN STRIKE. Caulberto Gomez says that while the contents of the letter have not been made public they are to the effect that Senor Talma should say that some of the clauses of the IMatt amendment are against the wishes of the Cubans and of no use to the Americans and that if the opportunity arises he will favor changing these clauses, especially the Intervention clause. Gomes says that in his opinion the United States will probably intervene In Colombia, notwithstanding the fact that they have no treaty with Colombia by which the latter recognizes the right of Intervention.25c. and 50c. at all druculata or tbrougn lK.

This latter action of President Castro is regarded as 1111 act of war against Colombia. President Castro cannot make the excuse that this expedition is composed of Colombian insurgents who have organized on Venezuelan soil in spite of the vigilance of \ ciiczuelan official*. Aside from the fact that there is evidence that tills expedition is composed of Venezuelan Hoops, the men who compose it were carried in»Vene- Kiielan war vessels.
