This article presents information on socio-political conditions in the world during 1885. U.S. President Grover Cleveland made public the sentence of General W.B. Hazen, Chief Signal Officer of the U.S. Army, for indulging in unwarranted and captious criticism of his superior officer, the Secretary of War. The London stock market showed an improvement and there was a general feeling that war might be averted. Authentic information has reached the city of Mexico that the officers of the Colombian government selected 100 of the worst rebels imprisoned at Colon, and, placing them on board a steamer, carried them out into the bay, where the entire 100 were thrown overboard and drowned.
