COLON HAS FALLEN Colombian Rebels. Capture the Isthmian City. AFTEB THREE HOURS' BATTLE Blue Jackets Landed From the United -States Gunboat Ma chics '-fRnilrond Traffic 'Was Not Obstructed." COLON. Colombia, Nov. 20, via Gal veston. The Liberals made an unexpected attack on Colon at 8 o'clock last night. The government was not prepared, and there was little -resistance. After some fighting In front of the cuarta and in cer tain streets for an hour and a half the Liberals gained possession of all the pub lic buildings and offices and the town of Colon. Over 12 persons were killed and about 30 were Injured. On receipt of the news that General Alban, the military commander of the Isthmus, had started to attack' the Lib erals at Chorrera, near Panama, the lat ter detached 1C0 men, under General Pa tlno, to attack Colon. This force em barked on a train bound for Panama to Colon yesterday evening at Las Cascades Station, previously cutting off telegraphic communication across the Isthmus. On arriving at the outskirts of Colon, where the government usually maintained, a small guard, th& rebels left the train and In the initial skirmish, which began soon afterward, Patlno was killed. The command of the Liberals then devolved on Colonel Frederlco Berrera, and they continued their march on Colon, arriving there a few minutes after the train, thus surprising the whole town. The government troops at Colon were outnumbered by the Liberals. Fighting Immediately began at the cuarta (bar racks), which was soon taken. There Senor Jaen, a Judge of the Criminal Court, was killed, and Senor Muskus, the district representative of the Interior De partment, was mortally wounded. Fight ing subsequently occurred at the town hall, which was also taken by the Liber als. Among the prisoners captured by the Liberals thero were the Prefect, Guardla and Commandant of Police. Se nor Parenes, the Mayor, managed to reach the gunboat General Plnzon, which sailed last night for a destination unknown. The whole affair was over in less than three hours. Communication with Panama was re stored today. This revealed that'no fight ing had occurred there; that everything was quiet, and that the city was still In the hands of the government. The Issue now depends on the result of the fighting which le now doubtless occurring at Chor rera, news of which is anxiously await ed here. The Liberals are busy raising re inforcements, locally. They are reported. to have .geyeral bunrirjmgflUllgerjuit, ama. The United States gunboat Machias landed a detachment of marines' 'hert this mqrhlng. They are now guarding the sta tion and other property of the road. At a conference between Commander McCrea, of the Machias, United States Consul Malmros, Colonel Shaler, super intendent of the Panama Railroad, and Colonel Barrera, the commander of the Liberals, the latter was Informed why the marines had been landed from the Machias. Berrera promised to guard the city with his troops. Trains will be crossing the Isthmus as usual tomorrow. There has been no ob struction to free transit so far. The news of the capture of Colon, which reached Panama when communication with that city was restored this morning, was a gteat surprise to the Inhabitants of that city. According to the latest news received, here from Panama, nothing, has yet been hpard In that city concerning the outcome of General Alban's expedition against th Liberal forces at Chorrera. It Is said that Information of recent happen ings at Colon has been sent to him. In the meantime the government -troops at Panama, numbering about 300 men, are busily engaged In the construction of earthworks and barricades at the railroad bridge going Into the city, in anticipation of an early Liberal attack. Colonel Shaler says that no request has been made upon him for a special train to convey government troops to Colon to night. If such a request Is made, it will be granted, but Cdlonel Shaler does not consider it likely. The Liberals say they have at least 700 men In possession of the different railroad stations on the line be tween here and Panama. These men will doubtless do their utmost to prevent the transportation of government troops to this polht. Men from the Machias are guarding the railroad station and property here tonight. REPORT TO STATE DEPARTMENT. Our Warship at the Isthmus Will Protect American Interests. WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. The State De partment has received official confirmation of the capture of Colon by the Liberals. The cable was interrupted for a brief period, but Is now -restored. Captain Perry, of the Iowa, the senior naval officer at Panama, has been Instructed to land marines If necessary to maintain transit across the Isthmus. The news caused a decided commotion In the State and Navy Departments. There were long conferences between Sec retary Long and Admiral Crownlnshleld and between the Admiral and Dr. Hill, Acting Secretary of State. Later the two last named went over to the White House and saw President Roosevelt. The first news. of the trouble at Colon came from United States Consul-General Gudger, at Panama. Later there came a second message from Mr. Gudger an nouncing that Colon had been taken. This was confirmed more explicitly by United States Consul Malmros, stationed at Colon. While all business is suspended, transit is not Interrupted, and American life and property are safe and not likely to be in danger. Taken altogether these dispatches were regarded by the officials here as Indicating a lack of purpose on the part of the Lib erals to interfere with transit across the isthmus. It was felt that the brief in terruptions caused by the taking up of the rail and the cutting of the telegraphic wires was nothing more than a tempo rary device to prevent the Government from hurrying reinforcements by rail to Colon. The officials find support for this belief in the fact that communication was reopened across the isthmus the mo ment Colon was captured. Still, as a result of the consultation to day It was resolved to take no chances of the Infringement of the treaty rights of the United States. Therefore Dr. Hill babied Consul-General Gudger a direc tion to notify all parties who are engaged In molesting or Interfering with free tran sit across the isthmus that such inter ference must cease. He was also direct ed to consult freely with Captain Perry, of the Iow&J Then Captain Perry was cabled by Secretary Long to land marines if necessary for the protectipn of free transit across the isth mus In accordance with the treaty rights and obligations of the United States. At the same time Captain Perry was en Joined to avoid bloodshed If possible. Meanwhile news came that Conlmander McCrea. of the Machias. which Is now ly ing at Colon, had anticipated this Instruc tion from the Navy Department by land ing a force of bluejackets at Colon and occupying the railroad station. The un derstanding at the Navy Department was that the landing party consisted of 100 sailors, who are employed In lieu of ma rines, of whom the Machias has an insig nificant force. The text of Commander McCrea's dispatch Is as follows: "U. S. S. Machias, Colon. November 20 Secretary Navy, Washington: The In surgents have possession of the city. At the request of the proper authorities I have landed force for the protection of the property of the railroad. McCRBA.!' A cablegram received from Captain Per ry, at Panama, confirms that which Consul-General Gudger communicated to tho State Department It does not appear that Captain Perry has yet landed a force. The news of the situation on the isth mus came to the Colombian Legation here this afternoon in the following cablegram from General Arajona, Acting Governor of Panama, in the absence of General Alban, who Is leading the Chorrera expedition: "Panama, Nov. 20. Colon la helng at tacked. Scarcity of troops here. Traffic may be interrupted." When asked what results might be ex pected from the capture of the city, Mr. Herran, Charge d'Aff aires, said: "It will depend "entirely on the success or 'failure of the expedition under Gen eral Alban, who is headed for Chorrera to engagp the insurgents at that point. If General Alban Is successful, the recapture of Colon should be a comparatively easy task. But, U, on the other hand, the gov ernment expedition should be defeated, the results undoubtedly would be disas trous, for the Insurgents then would have, temporarily at last, undisputed sway over the entire Isthmus." Mr. Herran Is not, aware of ' the pur--poses of General Diego de Castra, who arrived in New Yofk yesterday and Is reported to be coming to Washington for a conference with the Colombian officials here. General Castro Is known to be a stanch friend of the deposed President. San Clemente. COLOMBIA CONSUL INFORMED. He Believes Albnn Will nt Once Drive' the Liberals From Col6n. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Arturo de Bri gard, Consul-General of Colombia, today received private dispatches Informing aim that the Liberals had surprised and cap tured the City of Colon last night. His dispatch placed the loss at 12 killed and. 30 wounded. Mr. Brigard said that the tak ing of the town does not amount to much, as it Is not a fortified place, and that General Carlos Alban, who Is Governor of the department of Panama, Is now In the City of Panama with 1100 trained troops,. The dispatch' said that when Gen eral Aiban returns to Colon the1 Liberals will run away. The Consul-General said General Alban expected to give battle battle, .the: .CohSjui-Gencrat said,, the .Qen- .eral would go to Colon. General Alban has ample ammunition for all purposes. Mr. de Brigard said that when General Alban left Colon he took all the available troops, leaving the town In charge of 50 policemen. Dr. Restrcpo, head of the Colombian revolution Junta' In this city, tonight gave out a 'statement, Jn which he-said: "As reported, General Alban, -with 1100 men and several field pieces, has started to attack our fotces, now entrenched at Chorrera, 15 miles from Panama. We have 3000 men there, and, according to numbers, we might be expected to defeat General Alban. His confidence Is based on the belief that our force un der General Benjamin Herrera, with General Lugo in Immediate com mand, is poorly equipped. There in lies the trap. We have 3000 stands of arms, which have been sent from New York within the last three months. We have artillery also. We firmly believe that within two days Panama and the rest of the Isthmus will be in our hands." News has been received by Dr. Restfepo that the revolutionists have purchased a gunboat of 7000 tons, built 'for Salvador. Besides this vessel the Insurgents have two other gunboats. Dr. Restrepo says the boat recently purchased Is armed with eight breech-loading guns of two miles range and with four gatllng guns. Two dispatches were received at the of fices of the Panama Railroad in this city today. The first said that the town had been captured by the Liberals; that men from the Machias were guarding the piers of the company, and that the Liberals were on guard about the old passenget station and cars. The later message was that the wires between Panama and Colon, which had been down, were In working order; that everything was quiet, and that work was going on as usual on the piers. In the office of the secretary of the com pany It was said that no interruption of traffic was expected, as both sides had agreed to protect the property of the rail road. All are anxious to keep in the good graces of the United States Government. The object of the capture, it was thought, was to gain prestige among those who have Liberal tendencies. Many of the merchants at Colon are Liberal sympa thizers, and the success of the Insurgents may attract their aid. Mr. Sarriol, head of the West Coast department of Flint, Eddy & Co., today received a letter from a correspondent In Panama, dated November 11, which con tained the following review of the political situation:, "Ecuador Is at present abso lutely neutral. But, on the other hand, Salvador has taken a position favorable to the revolutionists, and Is furnishing them with war supplies and a steamer, a matter of no small consequence to tnls government (Colombia), which possesses only a small, old ship on this side. If all said' or rumored Is true, we shall soon have war." Canada Will Raise a Corps. OTTAWA, Ont., Nov. 20. At a meeting of the Dominion Cabinet today It was de cided to renew Canada's offer of last March to raise a corps of GOO men (mount ed), for service in South Africa. The de cision was the result of a cable received from the Imperial government asking If the offer Is still open. The Imperial gov ernment must pay the entire cost of re cruiting and equipping the force. If the offer Is accepted no time will be lost In dispatching the corps, as the militia de partment has matters so arranged that it can secure officers and men without de lay. The KewYork Horse Show. NEW -YORK. Nov. 20.-The hunters and jumpers, Shetlands, trotting stallions and roadsters; divided the Interest and shared the honors at the horse show to day. The morning crowd was larger than usual -and the spectacular perform ance of the Jumpers, which .were sent over six successive hurdles, each five feet high, was the special attraction.

Inland of Samar. Three In surgent camps were destroyed,' 40 bam boo canon were captured and much rice and other stores were destroyed. The rebel stronghold was almost impregna-. ble. The trail leading to It was lined with poisoned 6pears sticking from the ground and was filled with hidden pit falls. Major Waller's . command at tacked the enemy unexpectedly. To do this they had to scale a cliff 200 feet high. This they climbed barefoot over bamboo ladders. At the top they found boul ders piled ready to precipitate upon an attacking party. Major Waller says he was personally not present at the action. He praises Captain David D. Porter and Captain Hiram Bearss for their splendid work and says too much praise cannot be given to the marines themselves, .whose behavior he characterized as brilliant In every respect. The Major considers the scaling of cliffs 200 feet high as a new feature of warfare and says such men would be able to do anything any where. Thirty of the enemy were killed. The marines sustained a few trifling wounds. Rear-Admiral Rodgers has replied to Major Waller, congratulating him upon the successful action by his command. "Would Go Before Congress. Aguinaldo has written to General Chaf fee, asking the latters permission to go before Congress and express the desires of the 'Filipino people. Aguinaldo furtheV requests to be accompanied by eight friends, whom he designates, four of whom are prisoners at Guam, while the others are prominent In Manila. Slxto Lopez, who has been in the United States and In Europe in the Interest of Filipino matters, and Is now at Hong Kong, has written to Governor Taft, asking to be exempted from taking the oath of allegiance to the United States upon his arrival at Manila, asserting that this action might Injure his labors In behalf of peace. A fund Is being raised by the Federal party in Manila for the purpose of at tempting to prevent the execution of General Isldoro Torres, who surrendered to the American authorities In the early part of this year, and who was later tried on charges of having violated the rules of warfare and sentenced to death. Several Congressmen will be asked tb exert their Influence In favor of General Torres 1 SENDING TROOPS TO MANILA. Schedule of Forces to Sail on Four Transports. WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.

SECRETARY HAY'S SPEECH Meets Generally With the Approval of the London Papers. LONDON, Nov. 2L The speech of Sec- SANT, OF MINNESOTA. retary Hay Tuesday night at the ban quet of the New York Chamber of Com merce has produced keen discussion In the London papers. "No foreigner need take exception," says the Standard, "to Mr. Hay's vindi cation of the policy of the United States. In England, at any rate, his definition of his country's ideals will be received with cordial approval and unmixed satisfac tion." With regard to the Monroe Doctrine, the Standard says: "We can see no Indica tion that Mr. Hay will revive the Olney controversy, which has been wisely al lowed to drop, or that he will Ignore the fact that the British Empire Is itself a great American power." The Daily Chronicle, which attaches im portance to "the indication in the speech that Mr. McKlnley's idea of reciprocity has taken a step further toward realiza tion and that the ax has been laid to the root of protection," says: "The chief In terest now lies In discovering with what nations reciprocity treaties are to be con cluded." The Dally Chronicle thinks Mr. Hay's phrases about President Roosevelt being Incapable of bullying a strong power and the like are "peculiar," but accepts them as pacific assurances, and continues: "Problems of foreign policy cannot be solved by reassertlons of Monroeism. For better or worse, the United States has entered the Old World as a factor to bo reckoned with and they will not be able to avoid their share of the Old World's dirty work." The Dally News thinks that In his refer ence to bullying a strong power, Mr. Hay mu9t have had In mind Mr. Cham berlain's speeches regarding Germany. The Times says: "There Is nothing in Mr. Hay's frank and straightforw'ard ex position of the policy of the United States to which Great Britain can take excep tion, while there is much that shows how and why Great Britain and the United States may work together for common ob jects In a spirit of friendly agreement. It would be difficult to describe more de cidedly and succinctly the policy which a powerful govcrment ought to pursue than In the words of Mr. Hay." The Times, In common with other pa pers, expresses great appreciation of Mr. Choate's tribute to BrltlsTi feeling over the death of President McKInley. Schley Wants No Financial Aid. KNOXVILLE,, Tenn., Nov. 20. Follow ing the report that the Court of Inquiry would cost Admiral Schley 120,000. the Knoxvllle Sentinel November 18 asked If he would consent to a public subscription to pay the cost. Today the Sentinel received a letter from Admiral Schley, saying he cannot accept the offer. Ha saj-8 the re port as to the cost Is a mistake, as the amount Is not as great as reported. He suggests that the matter is "too delicate to discuss," and trusts that his friends will "appreciate his position and respect It" Rounded Up Boer Commandoes. LONDON, Nqy. 20. A dispatch from Lord Kitchener., dated Pretoria, today, says Colonel Brander's column has round ed up Byers and Badenhorst's Boer com mandoes. 30 mllce northwest of Pretoria. The troops killed three men, wounded three and captured 54, including two field cornets... Tho column also cantured much stock' and munitions of war. SMOTHERED BY GAS Terrible Loss of Life in a Coiorado Mine. PROBABLY 100 MEN PERISHED. Bunkhousc at the Mouth of the Tun nel Burned and the Working: Filled With Smoke and Deadly Gases. TELLURIDE, Col., Nov. 20. What 13 likely to prove the most disastrous acci dent that has ever occurred in a mettalllo mine In Colorado resulted today from a fire which burned the buildings at tho mouth of the Bullion tunnel through which the Smuggler-Union mine la worked and which filled the mine with deadly gas and smoke. It is Impossible to give even an approximate estimate oC the loss of life, but it is believed that It will reach nearly, If not quite, 100. Seventy-two are known to have perished. The fire started about 7 o'clock this morning from a defective flue In tho bunkhouse at tho mouth of the tunnel. It quickly communicated to tho other buildings. The dense smoke from tho burning converter-house, which was sat urated with oil, began pouring into tho tunnel, which, with the shafts of tho mine, acted as a chimney. The day shift had just gone on duty and before they could bo warned of their danger the- levels and stopes were filled with smoke and gas. As soon as the men became aware of their danger ef forts were made to reach the surface through the various exits, and about half of those In the mine escaped. It will be impossible to ascertain the number still In the mine ior several hours, on. account of the gas in some of the levels. The Smuggler-Union Is one of the old est mines In the district and has several abandoned openings, some of which were available. Most of those who escaped did so through the old Union workings and tho old Sheridan tunnel. A rescu ing party cut a connection through from the commission workings adjoining and took out part of the men. Although the buildings were quickly consumed, the dense smoke continued to pour Into the tunnel and It was not .un til 3 o'clock this afternoon that It oc curred to the management to shut off the draft by blasting rock Into the tun nel. It Is believed by mining men that had this been done as soon as the lira started all loss of life might have been avoided. The property loss Is about $50, 000, fully covered by Insurance. It was 1 P. M., before the first body was taken out and at 8 o'clock 22 bodies had been recovered. These have all been Identified as follows: AUGUST JAANTA.

Between 75 and 90 men were working on the ninth level and this has not yet been explored on account of the smoke and the danger of suffocation.
