Aarilla, determined to accord General
Reyes the courtesies of a -warship upon
his arrival at the isthmus, should he
desire to go aboard.
It also was arranged with Secretary
Say that a warship would be assigned
especially to the Government of Panama,
In which Its officials maj' hold conferences
With the Colombian representatives,
Ehould they desire to do so.
Following his visit to Secretary Hay,
Minister Bunau-Varllla called at the
Russian Embassy and had a long inter
view with Count Casslnl Dean of the
Diplomatic Corps, who was asked to lend
his assistance in securing recognition of
the new republic. To simplify the efforts
In this direction. Minister Bunau-Varllla
today urged his government to clothe
the Commission now on Its way to Wash
ington with special powers to make such
representations to the foreign representa
tives here as may effect a speedy recogni
tion of the new. republic By this means,
it Is stated, tne necessity of sending a
representative of Panama to each of the
iorelgn capitals charg'ed with the duty
of securing recognition will be obviated.
2t is said tonight that Count Casslnl
looks with favor upon the plan proposed.
Minister Bunau-Varllla expressed himself
as having no doubt that his government
would adopt the suggestion.
near-Admiral Glass cabled the Navy
Department today, under date of Pana
ma, November 12, that the British ships
Quito and Manavl sailed fromLBuena
Ventura on their regular voyageunmo
lested. and that their captains, on ar
rial at Panama, reported there were few
Celombian troops at Buena Ventura, and
that the Bogota, the Colombian war
ship, was without coal. Rear-Admiral
Glass replied that everything was quiet
on the isthmus and there was no rumor
of dissatisfaction.
NO WORD THAT WAR IS COMING
Diplomats Have Not Reported Colom
bian Army as Moving.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. The State De
partment lias no knowledge of the march-
Inc of any army from Colombia upon
we iammuB and the officials state that
were any such movement in progress it
would certainly bo Informed by Its agents

These officials scout the Idea that any
sucn marcn is in progress, as the Prcsl
dent of Colombia is reported to have de.
scribed to the President of Emndnr
is assumed here that the "armv" said
to be marching on Panama was nothing
more than the few men, perhaps 500 all
told, who were about to embark at Buena
Ventura a few days ago, when they were
iurned back from the Isthmus by notice
of the determination of the United States
Naval commanders to allow no landings
In that quarter. These troops cannot
reach the Isthmus by water and the of
ficials here are positive that they cannot
do so by land. The character of the
country Is such that there is no subsist
ence for an army on the route of the
wild mountain trails and the passages
through the morasses that He between
Colombia proper and the Isthmus. Even
if there were subsistence, the trails are
so rough that it would require many
weeks or even months for even a small
army to make the Journey.
But there are more than physical ob
stacles in the way of the approach of
an army upon Panaxna. Enough has been
gleaned from the instructions given to
our Naval commanders to make it evident
that never again will the Isthmus become
the seat of warfare so long as the United
States Government can prevent It. The
difference between- the present situation
on the Isthmus and that which existed
last year, when Commander McLean pre
vented armed troops from crossing the
Isthmus by rail Is Just this: The authori
ties have now determined to extend the
lines of protection to the railroad. They
will not allow hostile forces, no matter
whether they are Colombian, or Panama
troops, to come Into collision anywhere ni'58lonii ,ano- consul-General Gudger.

the neutral zone clear to the north and J
south boundaries of the Republic of Pana- '
ma, omcials here will not make .iirh
a statement publicly; they simply say,
"Walt till the emergency arises."
But it Is known that such were the
plans of the Naval commanders and as
there is no indication of a change in
these plans not the slightest apprehension
is felt here of the encroachment of any
Colombian army upon Panama.
Germany Opens Relatlqns.
BERLIN, Nov. 14. Germany's Consular
representatives at Panama have opened
business relations witli the new g overa-
ment, which action Germany subsequent
ly sanctioned. The German Consular of
ficers on the isthmus have reported to the
Foreign Office that the Cabinet of Pana
ma is composed of men worthy of re
spect. It is intimated in official circles
here that when the Panama government
makes formal notification of the organ
ization of the new republic Germany will
give the usual recognition without delay.
WYOMING REACHES PANAMA.
This Makes Seven Vessels Guarding
American Interests on Isthmus.
"WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. It la said at
the Navy Department that the only news
received over night from the Isthmus of
Panama was a brief dispatch from Rear
Admiral ; Glass Indicating the arrival at
Panama yesterday of the Monitor Wy
oming. There art now seven vessels
guarding the Interests of the United
States on the isthmus.. Of these four are
on the Pacific slde, the cruisers Boston
and Marblehead, and the gunboat Con
cord and the monitor Wyoming. So far
as known no other naval vessels, except
possibly colliers and supply ships, will be
sent to the west shore of the Isthmus for
the present.
On the Atlantic side are the cruiser
Atlanta, the gunboat Nashville and the
training ship Dixie. This fleet will be
reinforced in a day or two by- the bat
tleship Maine and the President's yacnt
Aiaynower.

No Trace of Missing Men.
ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 14. (Special.) No
trace has yet been found of Charles
Erickson and Henry Sture, who left on
last Tuesday night in a fishing-boat to
go to their homes at Blind Slough, and
there is every reason to believe that both
were drowned.
LAND AND NOT THE OWNER
THE QUESTION IN PANAMA.
Roosevelt's Idea of the Powers Vested
in
Him by Virtue
the Spooner Act.
of
WASHINGTON. Nov. 14. President
Roosevelt embraced the opportunity af
forded by the call on him of a large rep
resentation of both the Senate and House
of Representatives to discuss with mem
bers, both of the majority and the minor
ity, the situation which has arisen out of
the establishment of the Republic of
Panama. The nature of the action, if
any, to be taken by Congress during the
approaching session on the Panama ca
nal question has not been determined
definitely, but it la known that it is con
stantly the subject of conferences be
tween the President and members of Con
gress.
A difference of opinion has been de
veloped regarding the authority conferred
by the Spooner act upon the President.
It Is knowp that the Administration holds
the Spooner act furnishes ample warrant
for the President to negotiate a treaty
with Panama, and to pay the money made
available for canal purposes by the law
to Panama, instead of to Colombia. The
position of the President and his advis
ers may be Illustrated by a similar case:
"Suppope," suggested an official of the
Administration. "that Congress had
passed an act authorizing the purchase by
the Government from John Doe of a
strip of land for a specific purpose and
that the appropriation had been made
available to pay for it. Subsequently, lt
should be discovered that the land was
owned by William Roe. Of course, the
Government would purchase the land
from Roe. It Is the land and not the
owner that is of concern to the Govern
ment. That is precisely the situation in
which we find ourselves at this moment."
Senator Hanna, of Ohio, had a long
conference with the President today. He
remained with the President more than
an hour. As he left the executive offices,
Senator Hanna, while admitting the
Panama situation had been under discus
sion, declined to go Into particulars. It
can be said that the Senate committee
on committees has decided that Mr. Han
na shall succeed Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, as chairman of the committee on
lnteroccanlc canals. The decision of the
committee has not yet been announced,
but will probably be next week.
jTHE MINISTER NOT ALARMED
Marshes Between Colombia and Pan
ama Are Impenetrable.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 14. Minister
Bunau-Varllla was at the State Depart
ment today to see what information the
the isthmus. Ho said he had no anx
iety over the dispatches from Guayquil
that the Colombian expedition would en
deavor to reach the Isthmus.
"It were easier," said the Minister, "to
march from Cape Town to London than
from Bogota to Panama, for the Strait
of Gibraltar and the English Channel are
at least swlmmable, and the marshes
between the new republic and Colombia
are impenetrable."
The Minister counts on the American
naval force to deal effectively with any
expedition by sea that Colombia may at
tempt. Dr. Thomas Herran, the Colombian
Charge d'Affalres, continues to be with
out advices from Bogota. The last advice
he had was on November 24, when a brief
message came announcing the adjourn
ment of Congress. Despite this fact. Dr.
Herran is keeping Bogota closely In
formed on every action of the Washing
ton Government bearing on the Isthmian
situation.
Reaction in Canal Securities.
PARIS, Nov. 14. Panama Canal securi
ties, after the exceptional advance of the
last eight days, became stationary yes
terday and turned toward a lower level
today. The reaction appears to be due
to the publication here of dispatches re
ferring to possible complications and de
lay In the ratification of the canal treaty
with Panama. .
Nashville Returns to Colon.
COLON, Nov. 14. The United States
cruiser Nashville has returned to Colon.
The United States cruiser Atlanta sailed
for Bocas del Toro today. A German
steamer, due to arrive here, Is now over

SWAHP.R0T SAVED MY LIFE
I rccolred promptly the sample bottle of
your kidney remedy. Swamp-Root.
I had an awful pain In my back, over the
MRJpKERTlf
kidneys, and had to urinate from four to
seven times a night often, with smarting
and burning. Brick dust would settle in the
urine. I lost 20 pounds in two weeks, and
thought I would soon die. I took the flrst
dose of your Swamp-Root In the evening- at
bed time, and was very much surprised; I
had to urinate but once that night, and the
second night I did not get up until morn
lnr. I have used three bottles of Swamp
Hoot and today am cs well as ever.
I am a farmer, and am working every day
and weigh 100 pounds, the same that I
weighed before I was taken sick.

There come3 a time to both men and
women when sickness and poor health
bring anxiety and trouble hard to bear?
disappointment seems to follow every
effort of physicians In our behalf, and
remedies we try have little or no effect.
In many such cases serious mistakes are
made In doctoring, and not knowing
what the disease is or what makes us
sick. Kind nature warns us by certain
symptoms, which are unmistakable evi
dence of danger, such as too frequent
desire to urinate, scanty supply, scalding

Protection to Chinese.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-SIr Cheng
Liang Tung, the Chinese Minister, has
taken proper steps to secure all possible
protection for the Chinese laborers In So
nora. Cal., who have been attacked and
driven away from, the mines by strikers.

asked the department to do what It could
to protect his fellow countrymen from
violence. The Secretary acted immediately

matter, and telegraphed the Governor of
California of the facts that had been laid

MATTERS LITTLE TO AMERICA
She Never Thought of Occupying
Mukden to Keep Russia Out.
WASHINGTON, Nov! 14. It is stated
officially here, in relation to the story I
printed by an Odessa, Russia, newspaper,
that the United States contemplated a
military occupation of Mukden, that at
no stage in the Chinese negotiations has
the State Department contemplated a
recourse to the military by the United
States. The assurances that had been
received here from Russia quite satisfied
the department that, regardless of any
military or political movements by Rus
sia in Manchuria, there would not bo
any attempt to Interfere with United
States trade, so that from a United States
standpoint It matters little whether Rus
sian or Chinese troops, garrison Mukden,
the force of the new treaty between
China and the United States being recog
nized by Russia.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. On the recom.

Investigation, Postmaster-General Payne
has appointed Assistant Secretary Keep,

There Is comfort in knowing that Dr.
KIlmer'3 Swamp-Root, the great kidney,

It corrects inability to hold urine and
