The Entente Between Colombia and
Nicaragua Likely to Be
Disrupted.
SOURCE OF COLOMBIA’S GRIEVANCE.
Arum im.I Ammunition For tlie Co
lombinn Rebels Said to Have
Ueen Shipped From Nicaraguan
Ports—Colombia Pushing Prep
arations for Active Work.
Washington, Aug. 30.—Colombia
will formally demand of Nicaragua an
explanation in regard to the latter
country’s alleged participation in the
revolution against the Colombian
government, and back up her demand
with the most formidable land and
naval force she can muster, as soon
as the present rebel activity on lue
isthmus has been crushed.
Information to this effect was re
ceived from an authoritative source
in Washington Friday.
The above intelligence causes con
siderable surprise in diplomatic cir
cles, for but a few weeks ago it was
announced that Mr. Concha, the Co
lumbia minister, and Mr. Corea, tlie
Nicaraguan minister, had established
an entente cordiale between their re
spective governments; that bygones
were to be regarded as bygones, and
that the time was ripe for a satis
factory understanding by the two
governments. It is now learned that
the initial move toward the establish
ment of an amicable understanding
between Nicaragua and Colombia was
made bv Mr. Corea, who also Tiro
posed to Mr. Concha an adjustment
of the difficulties which have so long
been pending over Colombia's claim
to the ownership of a strip of what
is claimed by Nicaragua to be part
of her coast line. Minister Concha
declined to accede to the latter prop
osition, declaring that a claim which
Colombia had brought forward for so
many years could not be adjusted, or
in fact brought to any material de
gree toward adjustment by the meth
ods suggested by the Nicaraguan
minister. However, Mr. Concha was
entirely willing to join Mr. Corea in
the establishment of an entente cor
diale.
Shortly after Minister Corea’s ar
rival in Nicaragua.wherehewent some
weeks ago on a leave of absence, the
Colombian officials here, it is stated,
received information to the effect
that arms and ammunition for the ]
Colombian rebels on the isthmus were
being shipped from Corinto. The Co
lombia legation here had been receiv- (
ing reports of 1*his character contin
ually. and in view of the arrangement ,
effected with the Nicaraguan minis
ter before he left Washington. Senor
Concha lost no time in calling Mr. Co- 1
rea’s attention to the matter. The
latter official replied that President
Zelaya would immediately institute j
an investigation to ascertain if the
reports were well founded. A short
time ago, however, more reports were (
received in Washington to the effect •
that Nicaragua still continued her •
material support of the revolutionists
on the isthmus, and now Colombia, it
it stated, finds her patience exhausted. 1
and has decided to present a formal
demand for an explanation. Mean- '
while, it is understood the entente
cordiale has only a nominal existence.
It is not anticipated that the affair
will lead to an actual war with Nica
ragua, but, nevertheless, Colombia is
making preparations to back up her
representations with a reinforced
armed war vessel at Seattle, as well
as several prospective purchases of
war ships for the Colombian navy,
have Nicaragua rather than the pres
ent troubles on the isthmus, in view.
DEATH OF A CONGRESSMAN.
Repreuentatlve He Graffenreid, ol
Texas. Stricken with Apoplexy
in a Washl netou Hotel.
Washington, Aug. 30.—Representa
tive Keese C. De Graffenreid. of Texas,
died of apoplexy at the Riggs house,
in this city, shortly before eleven
o'clock Friday night.
Mr. De Graffenreid had been suffer
ing with a bilious attack all day, and
it became worse in the evening. Dur
ing a severe vomiting spell, a blood j
vessel burst in his brain and he sank j
back on his bed. Death ensued in
stantly. Only a newspaper corre
spondent. who was an intimate asso
ciate, and a hotel bell boy who had -
been called to his assistance, wire
with him at the time.
He leaves a wife, who is now at
their home in Longview, Tex., to
whom a telegraphic notice was sent.
No plans have yet been made for the
funeral.
Mr. De Graffenreid came from
Longview, Tex., and represented the
Lhird district of Texas in the Fifty
fifth and Fifty-sixth congress and in
the present Fifty-seventh Congress.
He was a lawyer and a democrat. He _
was born in Franklin, Tenn., in 1839. |

Guthrie, Okla., Aug. 30.—As a re- -
iult of drinking coffee containing ar
=enic, Mrs. Alice Combs and son,
Ernest, of‘Blackwell, are near death,
ind their recovery is doubtful. Un
known persons entered the house dur- ‘
ing the absence of the family and,
it is supposed, sprinkled arsenic
through the coffee. They also stole
numerous articles of value.

A little novelty which most house
keepers will appreciate is a small ro

There is a new design in tea strain
ers which consists of groups of wire

visible and the tea is not only strained,
but is prevented from dripping on the
table cloth.

Novel additions that look well on
the table have been introduced from
Manila and are round doilies, of a
kind of cream-grass cloth resembling
fine Irish lawn. The set comprises a
centerpiece about eight or nine inches
in diameter and six very much smaller
ones, all in different designs.
Small washboards a trifle larger
than the toy affairs are convenient for
washing ribbons, mufflers, dainty lace
handkerchiefs and such articles as are
too delicate to be consigned to the

The boards can be placed in an ordi

THE BARTHOLIN FAMILY,
The Family of the Alleged Murderer,
William ltartholiu, is Prominent
in Denmark.
Chicago, Aug. 29.—The Daily News
says: According to information un
earthed here, William Bartholin,
wanted by the police in connection
with the murder of his mother and
the disappearance of his sweetheart,
AIiss Minnie Mitchell, is a member of
the noble house of Bartholin-Eichel,
in Denmark. It has also been discov
ered that he has a half-brother, Fred
erick Bartholin, now living in Chica
go, prosperous and highly respected.
The house of Bartholin was found
ed in 1680, when Dr. Bartholin-Eichel
was made a baronet for “distin
guished services.” Since then the
house lias stood high in the counsels
of the Danish court, its members oc
cupying important positions. The line
descends without a blot until half a
century ago. Casper Bartholin was
(and still is, at the age of 82 years)
the reigning baronet, presiding over
the lands, estates and castle of As
trup. His brother was William Peter
Bartholin, who became the father of
the Will Bartholin for whom the po
lice of the country are on the look
out. Being a younger son. William
Peter Bartholin had no estates, but
by the influence of his family was
made warden of the royal castle at
Ribe, where he was made a knight of
the Dannebroge and given a castle of
his own. He married the Countess
Gottlioldine Greveneopp-Castenskjell
of Great Frederickslund castle. Two
sons were born—Georgen, now editor
of the National Tidende, the largest
newspaper in Copenhagen, and Fred
erick, who now lives in Chicago.
A German servant girl was taken
into the family, and after a few years
of married life Bartholin eloped to
America with the servant, taking with
him, it is alleged, a large amount of
public money which had been intrust
ed to his care. The deserted wife,
after a few years, secured a divorce,
and married Bishop Hans Tornoe, of
Copenhagen, one of the dignitaries of
the Lutheran church.
Meanwhile all did not go well with
the younger son. He served through
out the civil war, leaving the German
serving maid to her own devices.
When the war was over he returned
to Chicago and married her. and in
1S72, Will Bartholin, the present
fugitive, was born. After various
vicissitudes, the father died at the
soldiers’ home at Milwaukee, Wis.
The next public attention given to
this wayward limb of the noble house
was when the police began the search
for Minnie Mitchell, who was sup
posedly murdered, and in their search
discovered the mutilated remains of
Mrs. Bartholin in the basement of her
house.
Frederick Bartholin, until recently,
did not know that his father was in
this country, although he was familiar
with the story of his father’s down
fall.

ken to the county jail at Newkirk.

day, in the absence of the Combs fam
ily. The house was entered and a
liberal quantity of arsenic was
sprinkled in the coffee pot. The next

poisoned from drinking the coffee.
None of the other members of the
family used coffee. Mrs. Combs and

New York. Aug. 30.—Three Chicago
