AFTEB THREE HOURS' BATTLE

'-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.

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.

upon the rebel stronghold at Sojoton,
near Basey. 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.

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.

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

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

Hugh O'Neill, the engineer, was tak
en out alive, but Is not expected to re
cover. Every physician In Tellurldo was
summoned to the mlno and was kept busy
attending those of the rescuers who were
overcome with gas. Seventeen of tho 22
bodies found were on the seventh level.
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.
