TEE HORSING OBEGOKIAy, TUESDAY, 'AUGUST 5, 1902. THE PANAMA BATTLE Government Forces Said 'to Be Victorious. COLOMBIAN GUNBOAT MISSING United States Ship to Hnnt for Other Craft All Force of Panama Max Attack Rear Guard of the Rebel Army. PANAMA. Colombia, Aug. 4. Tele graphic communication "with San Carlos was re-established this afternoon and at 5 P. 11. General Salazar received a tele- fgram from San Carlos saying that some" revolutionary omcers oi inc lorces unaer General Herrera had passed that town In flight. They reported the defeat of the revolutionists at Aprua Dulce. This news has not been confirmed and details and further -Information are awaited. The -United States Cruiser Ranger has been reported to have gone to Agua Dulce for the purpose "of bringing wounded back to Panama. Definite news of the engage ment is expected when she returns. The government gunboat Boyaca, which ls missing, left here last Tuesday with re inforcements for General Bertl, who Is located near the port of Agua Dulce. She was attacked by the revolutionary fleet and obliged to retreat. Since that time nothing has been heard of the Boyaca, but being faster than the revolutionary gun boat Padllla, she Is believed to have es-. caped. . The Boyaca's rudder was recently found to be in very bad condition and the re pairs made to .It were conducted rapidly and not very thoroughly. General Sala zar, Governor of Panama, is of tho opin ion that some accident has happened to the gunboat which has left her helpless at sea or stranded on the coast of some Island. United States Consul General Gudger and Captain Potter of the United States -Cruiser Ranger have sent cablegrams to "Washington, asking permission for the sake of humanity for the Ranger to search for the Boyaca. There are over 300 men on board the Colombian gunboat and Gen eral Salazar hopes that the Ranger will be permitted to go to their rescue. The government gunboat Chuculto, which was sent from here with ammuni tion for General Bertl, could not deliver her cargo because the port of Agua Dulco had been captured by the revolutionists. Water communication between the gov ernment troops at Agua Dulce and Pana ma Is consequently Interrupted. A government officer who was captured by the revolutionists In January of this year during a previous) battle at Agua Dulce has made his escape from General Herrera's camp and reached Panama. He reports that many revolutionists are de serting, partly because they are forced to fight against members of their own party as well as on account of the heavy losses the revolutionists are said to hai'e sus-' tained every day since the beginning of this battle . General Salazar, Military Governor .of Panama, today told a representative of the Associated Press that if General Her rera's forces were not defeated within five days he would march with all the forces he had in Panama to attack the revolu tionary leader's rear guard. General Salazar has received a telegram from the Colombian Minister of War asking If reinforcements are needed, and raying that If so he will send them Im mediately. TRYING i ,TO MAKE PEACE. JTegotiatiohs for Entlente Cordlale Between Colombia and Nicarasraa. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. Negotiations have been opened in Washington for the establishment o? an entente cordlale be tween the Governments of Colombia and Nicaragua. Ministers Concha, of Colom bia, and Corea.'of Nicaragua, are carry ing on the negotiations. The movement grows out of the suspicion with which these two countries have viewed each other of late. Colombia has asserted that Nicaragua Is responsible for much of the trouble on the Isthmus of Panama; that expeditions have formed. on NIcaraguan 60ll, and that the NIcaraguan court of Corlnto is a base of revolutionary opera tion against Colombia. There have been strong intimations that Colombia would adopt countersteps by evacuation of Nicaragua soil. Now, however, there are good prospects that the negotiations opened in Washing ton will lead to mutual explanations and apologies, and to an agreement by which each will rigidly respect tho laws of neutrality and the rights of the other. Hnytien Trouble About Over. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. Captain Mc Crea. of the Machlas, today cabled the Navy Department that the outbreak in Haytl is practically over. The cablegram whlsh Is dated Cape Haytien, August A. is an follows: "After Interviewing tho authorities, the aspect of affairs appears more satisfac tory. Natlonples are well armed. Rebels have been driven from critical positions. Little enthusiasm. No further danger of serious disturbances. Captain McCrca re quested permission to go to San Juan, Porto Rico, for coal. This was granted, and the Maehlae probably will come north unles3 there is another outbreak in Haytl." UNSYMPATHETIC WILLIAM "Won't Favor Italian. King's Pro posal to Reduce Armament. BERLIN. Aug. 4."The King -of Italy proposal of a contraction of European armaments Is a subject on which the Czar and the German Emneror -will converse at their meeting at RevaC on J iut uf-vaoiun ui me xvussian navai maneu vers.' Emperor William almost certainly will give the suggestion no encourage ment His opinion, well known to diplo mats, is that disarmament is a dream of the future, and a fantastic idea when In connection with the existing Continental' situation. '"Germany cannot consent to impair her finest Instrument of offense, which is the defense of her existence," he Is quoted as stfying. "because other nations are un able to equal It. We can stand the ex pense, and, besides, I consider that the army returns Xo the nation all that it costs in discipline of character and whole some training of the boy." Opinion here does not regard the meeting of the Emperors as of large importance, although it cannot be called a mere visit of kinsmen, for the reason that the Chan cellor. Count von Bulow. and Count Lams dorff, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, accompany their respective sov ereigns. A new commercial treaty between Rus sia and Germany is regarded as' still a long way off, but the Tageblatt thinks this Is one of the subjects to be discussed by the Emperors. Some govenment jour nals express regret that there is still a strong anti-German feeling in Russian political and social circles. Prince Henry joined the Emperor on the ship, and this seems to have been -a late thought, as nothing was known publicly about the Prince's intention to go to Reval until the official announcement to day. Prince Henry went on board the Hobeuzollenj last night. The Prince two or three days ago assisted in saving the life of the Austrian balloonist, Stroh rahneider, whose balloon collapsed over Kiel liarbor. The Prince saw the accl- dent, went in a pinnace himself to rescue the balloonist, and took him on board the Kaiser. Frederlch III. TAYLOR STIRS GERMANS. The Objectionable Sentiments, How ever, He Disavows. BERLIN, Aug. A. The utterances at tributed to Rear-Admlral Taylor, of the United States Navy, as to a probable conflict between Germany and the United States Jn 1907. was printed conspicuously here. The Tageblatt says It requires all the wrong-headedness of a jingo combined with complete Ignorance of European cf falrs. to imagine that Germany Intends to annex the Netherlands. Any German Ad miral so indiscreet, the Tageblatt con tinues, would be relieved of his duties im mediately. What Taylor Was Credited With. NEW YORK. Aug. . In a recent dis patch from Washington. Rear-Admlral Taylor, chief of the bureau of navica tion, was credited with having given 'ex pression to the ideas referred to In the foregoing message from Berlin. In this Washington dispatch Rear-Admiral Tay lor was described as thoroughly alive to the steady set of a current which is car rying the United States and Germany along convergine lines In many Darts of the globe, and brlncing these two na tions into closer rivalry elsewhere. To Rear-Admlral Taylor was given the credit of warning the leaders of the United States Navy and Army that preparations must begin at once and be vigorously pros ecuted from this time forth for a crave crisis in German-American relations In the Snrine of 1907. The time of this crisis is fixed coincident with the most efficient sea power Germany now contemplates the time when the Panama Canal will be oc cupying much attention in this country. when the Cuban Republic may have about reached the end of its tether, when Ja maica and other Wf6t Indian Islands will be prostrate In bankruptcy, when The Netherlands according1 to Admiral Tai lor's predictions will have been absorbed by Germany, leaving Curacao and the other Dutch Islands of the Caribbean Sea as bones of contention to force a su preme test of the Monroe Doctrine. Taylor Denies It. CAGO. Aug. 4. Rear-Admlral Tay lor denies the story telegraphed from Washington to the effect that he believes the United States and Germany will go to war in 1907. When asked If he had set a date for a conflict between the two coun tries, he said: "Such assertions as have been credited to me are without foundation other than I have said our seacoast defcnr.es should bo well protected against attack by any European power. All naval officers are of this opinion. It would be ridiculous for me to predict a war with any nation. Our navy should be strengthened and in readi ness for any possible war." AFTER PETER POWER. Cited to Appear to Answer for Con? tempt of Court. NEW YORK, Aug. 4. Peter Power, complainant In the suit against the di rectors of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, to restrain them from turning over the stock of that company to the Northern Securities Company, was today servod at West Hurley, N. Y., with a citation to appear before Justice Lacombe In the United States Circuit Court on Wednesday and show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court. The contempt proceedings were the re- r Peter Power, who Is fighting the Northern Securities Company. " t i suit of the failure of George Alfred Lamb, counsel for Power, to produce his client for examination before Special Ex aminer Mabic, despite the fact that sub poenas have been served on Power on three occasions within one week. Mr. Lamb secured several postpone ments of the hearing on the ground that Powers was In 111 health. In view of this order, which was secured by counsel for the directors, the hearing before Special Examiner Mable was today adjourned un til next Wednesday. Report Is Scouted. NEW YORK. Aug. 4. Reports that the St. Louis & San Francisco road is nego tiating for control of the Georgia Central are scouted by a leading reoresentatlvo of the last-named property. "This Is the first I have heard of any such plan." said this director. "There Is nothing to justify it. and all talk that the Southern Railway controls the Georgia Central is utter nonsense. The Southern has no direct or indirect Interest In the property, which Is owned by the bond holders, who In turn are reDrcsented by the votincr trustees." President Yoakum, of the St. Louis & San Francisco, declines to affirm or deny the report or discuss it in any way. The St. Louis & San Francisco has. it is un derstood. . secured control of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, and it Is said to be branching out in other directions. HEAT RECORDS BROKEN. Mercury a- lOO In Kansas, but Corn Crop Is Out of the Way. TOPEKA. Kan., Aug. 4. AIL heat records for this year were broken this afternoon when the government thermometer re gistered 100 degrees. A hot wind has been blowing all day, but corn is not injured on account of good start it obtained be fore the hot weather set in. Reports of small rains are received from the West ern and Northern portions of the state, but the precipitation has kept down the minimum.- It Is understood that the corn crop Is practically assured now, even should the weather be unfavorable from this time on. Cotton Not Good, WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. The average condition of cotton as shown by the monthly cotton report Issued by the Agri cultural Department is SLfl on July 23, as compared with S4.7 on June 25; 77.2 on July 23, 1S01; 78 on August 1, 1900; 84 ou August 1, 1SS3; and a 10-year average of .82.$. Except in Texas, Oklahoma. Indian Territory and Missouri, deterioration is reported in the entire cotton belt. Sent Out Coal. SCRANTON. Pa.. Aug. 4.-The Edger ton Colliery of the Temple Iron Company, at Simpson, sent out 20 cars of prepared coal today. The company refuses to say how the coal was secured, but report has it that a small force of men have been cutting and loading there since Friday.

WILL LOWER THE RATES (Continued from First Page.) create a greater demand for ihp wheat, to grind it into flour and ship It to the Orient, thus reducing the supply avail able for Europe and appreciating the value He reproached the Government for not doing more to widen the market for American farm products, ridiculed the farclal duty on wheat, which he held could never prove of the slightest benefit to the farmers so long as America ex ports wheat, and stated that at the pres ent rate of Increase In consumption of wheat, the demand for home consumption alone In America would be far in excess of the supply, and there would be nota bushel for export. In concluding, Mr, Hill thanked the farmers for coming direct to headquarters with their grlev ance. and stated that it would receive due consideration. The Great Northern magnate had been as calm as a Summer morning until the close, when he touched briefly on politics, and a kind of a fighting gleam flashed from his eye, as he said: xou mignt just as well try to set a broken ankle by statute as to try to re duce freight rates In that way, and you may try it until your barn doors rust on their hinges, and still be unsuccessful." Mr. Mellen's "Inherited." Road. President Mellen, of the Northern Pa cific, followed Mr. Hill. He acknowledged I he was not a farmer, and that he was also handicapped slightly from an ora- toxical standpoint when compared wlth Mr. Hill, but he had the goods which the people were after, and he passed out the welcome newsof a probable reduction In rates without any unnecessary flour lshes or side-stepping. Mr. Mellen stated that his company had inherited a system of roads which was the longest way to market. Involving a haul of 150 miles on which there was no return whatever, and to avoid this expense 'it had decided to extend the Washington Central road from Its present terminus at Coulee City to Adrian, on the Great Northern, and to give tho farmers the benefit of the reduc tion in the cost of operation. He said that It was impossible to announce the extent of the reduction until other sec tions interested should be visited, as there could be no reduction in this section w!-out a corresponding reduction in other portions of the state, and It could not be determined until the matter had been gone Into thoroughly with the farmers In other sections. Like Mr. Hill, Mr. Mellen thanked the farmers for getting in direct communica tion with the railroads, and advised them to steer clear of politicians "who will work you and then turn around and work us." He Insisted on the greatest possible development of the country, and declared that the road must be permitted to make money enough In prosperous times to carry it through the periods of adversity, otherwise it would land in bankruptcy again. The increased value of lands owned by the railroad -company had been accompanied by corresponding advance in lands of the farmers, and It was his de sire that they make the most of the pros perity which was now In evidence. Mohler a Free Lance. President Mohler, of the O. R. & N. Co., was last on the list of speakers, and as he was in & measure out of his direct territory, he made a kind -of free lance speech, which was fully as effective in its way as that of any of the men who pre ceded him. His remarks went right home to his hearers, and he landed his full share of applause. As an introduction he said: "I stand In the unique position of being a railroad man here without a railroad. You have no grievances with me, and I have none with you, so we stand on com mon ground; but there Is no doubt, I think, but you would like to have U3 come here, so as to have a grievance. Per haps Mr. Hill and Mr, Mellen would llko to have us build a railroad up here to be neighborly. The railroad situation has been thoroughly discussed, and I have lis tened to Mr. Hill with a great deal of in terest I used to be his general manager when we built the road through to the Coast, and I have heard him talk a great deal in his office when it was really not so very pleasant, but I have enjoyed hia talk very much today. "The railroad companies have gone through a trying time. The publio 13 not aware of it. for we do not always take the public Into our confidence; but after this we will try to be more neighborly. Tho railroad companies are justified in hand ling their business .at the lowest possible cost, and when they accomplish that end it shows an Interest In the welfare of the people; but I know you do not believe It." Ho called attention to the advantages of the Washington farmers over those of the Mississippi Valley in the widening mar kets of the Orient, which. In time, would take such a large proportion of the prod ucts of the state. He provoked laughter by alluding to the unusual nature of the meeting as he said that heretofore the people had seemed to have an erroneous opinion of railroad presidents, regarding them, as some dreadful creatures with horns and other equally terrifying features of distinction. He said that the railroads were ready to co-operate with the people In every way, and he believed there would be no causo for regret at their arranging for the meeting, as it was their desire to get In closer touch with the people. Mr. Mohler concluded by raying that he would refrain from further discussion until to morrow, when he would preach to his own people at Colfax, and that he believed when they were through the results would be satisfactory to all. Assurances of Reduction. At the conclusion of the mass meeting the visitors were Informally entertained at a luncheon served at the Davenport Armory. In the afternoon a committee of farmers from various parts of the Big Bend met the railroad men and discussed the pioposed reduction. As originally outlined, this meeting was to be attended by none but the committee, but by the time it-got down to business the room was about as well Ailed as H had been at the morning session. The farmers were unani mous In requesting a reduction to 10 cents per bushel flat from the preeent rate of 12 cents. The railroad men listened to their arguments and willingly answered all questions put to them. The best of feeling prevailed, and after threshing over the matter about two hours the meeting closed and the railroad magnates departed, leaving promises that the amount of re duction would be made known as soon as possible after the meeting at Colfax. The car on which the Spokane contin gent came to "Davenport this morning was attached to the special, and about IP. 1L It pulled out on the return trip to Spo kane. The meeting arranged' for 10 to'clock tomorrow at Colfax has been postponed one hour to enable visitors to reach there by the regular train leaving Spokane tq morrpw morning. The meeting produced the utmost good feeling between the railroads and the far mers, and Las done more toward taking the railroads out cf politics than anything that has ever happened In thfe state. The farmers may be unsuccessful in securing the maximum reduction asked, but they will undoubtedly secure a reduction which will in the aggregate "amount to several hundred thousand dollars annually, and they liave tho assurance of the railroad presidents that the reduction will be made effective at once, so that the benefits will accrue from the crop now ready to move. E. W. W. UNIQUE IN RAILROAD HISTORY. Three Presidents-" Mingled With Farm em Hill Chief Spokesman. SPOKANE, Aug. 4. The occasion of the announcements at Davenport today was unique in teh history of American rail roading. Three railway presidents, in response to a petition from the lealins' farmers of the Big Bend Country, had assembled at the County Scat of Lincoln Caunty to hear their case, plead their own Interests and render Judgment. v Public addresses were delivered by the three presidents. Then adjournment waa ta&en to tho Armory, where an old-fasfcloned country dinner was served to the railway guests and visitors from tho surrounding country. The presidents entered heartlly Into the eplrlt of the occasion. Mr. Hilt deposited hia hat under his chair, re marked that ho had not enjoyed himself so thoroughly in many a day, and rubbed elbows with a wheatgrower from the Egypt country and another from the Cedar Canyon Camp. After dinner, hun dreds of people gathered around the rail- Wav orpslflpnt s'm'r't. h?iir-. ,nrt listen "if? to spirited discussions. Mr. Hill talked farming and stock-rais ing. Mr. Mellen elaborated on his pre vious announcement, and Mr. Mohler japoke of- the immigration plans of the Harriman roads. All this wag preliminary to the real conference of the day. Various counties and districts had sent delegates to the convention, and after dinner these dele gates reassembled In the convention hall, and. through their spokesmen, laid their wishes before the railway presidents. The spectacle- was impressive. The largo hall was packed to the doors, and scores of fanners, fruitgrowers and miners stood in the aisles. Many sat on the carpet floor. Earnestness was stamped on their icatures, and earnestness ran" through all their speeches. Mr. Hill was the only president speaking at this conference. He answered many questions from time to time, offered numerous voluntary ex planationa of matters that seemed all wrong to the farmers, and repeatedly asked the farmers to speak out their be liefs and convictions. He was frequently applauded, and tho convention was al ways alert to applaud any telling point, whether made by delegates or by the president. Tho entire proceedings were characterized by good spirit, and there was much good naturcd badinage. The special train bearing the railroad men and newGpaper correspondents re turned to Spokane this evening. Later the railroad party left for Colfax, In the Palouie country, where a similar confer ence will be held tomorrow. ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT HILL. He Holds Legislation on Railway Rates Impracticable. SPOKANE, Aug. 4. In his address. President Hill thanked the farmers of the Big Bond for Inviting the railway presi dents to come before them. He said: "I am always glad to meet the people who are working for the development and upbuilding of the country served by our lines. When I first saw the country from Spokane to the Columbia River I did not think much of It as a commercial as set warranting the building of a railroad." Here the railway president paid a fine tribute to the rirVners In'makinc the Big' Bend a productive country. "Twenty- nve years ago I began trying to build up the West. In the Red River Valley they told me It was too wet. Out here they told me It was too dry. " "The railroad and thf farmprs in tho country tributary to It are linked together. ou may sell t-our farm. I may sell my railroad if Mellen is willing to buy It, or Mohler. Or I may die and got rid of It. I will have to In a few years, but remem ber that I desire to look down and not up and seo you prosperous. Toil have crops that keep you busy four or four and a half months In the year. You want to do something the rest of the time besides whittling or holding down a nail keg. What you should do Is to raise- stock, roots, forcrre. There Is nothing better than raising stock. "The growth of the country all along our line Is necessary to our crowth. You have to get money before we do. and It is surprising to see how little we are satisfied with. You must make more people use your stuff. Statesmen tell us how to do this; but they get a consider ation for dolng so. I cannot find In pub lic acts one Intelligent thing that they have done to get new markets. I don't know any place where you have not been left to shift for yourselves, as farmers. Until new markets are opened you can look for no rise In prices, unless thero Is a failure of crops elsewhere. "As well attempt to set a broken limb by statute as to adjust rates. You can legislato until the barn doora rot off. The best thing to do Is to act as you have here with the officials. We will try to act In such a way that you will realize that we are doing something fair and In good faith." President Mohler made a humorous ad dress- that was received with lively man ifestations of delight. He also expressed -hla pleasure at this conference and said: "I don't know why It is. but you won't let us come near you. You will believe the vilest man that comes and makes a statement to you quicker than you will a railroad president or a railroad man." A delegate from Adams County "No. you are mistaken." Turning to President Hill. Mr. Mohler said: "Mr. Hill, there is hope for us." a re mark that was greeted with nrolonrred laughter. Representing: the State. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Aug. 4.

WARNING TO PACKERS. President of Livestock Association Say They've Gone Far ( Enough. DENVER, Aug. 4. John W. Springer, president of the National Livestock Asso ciation of the United States, In answer to a question concerning the formation cf a beef combine, answered: "Our great organization Is watching, every move of the big packers, fully real izing the ruin which would ensue It the contemplated combine Is effected. The packers have individually denied any in tention of combining Into a merger of packing interests. If they are attempting to deceive the stockmen and .the public, they will incur the opposition of every livestock producer In the United States. Such a combine would be more disastrous than any other which could be formed, for th one man would fix the buying price of all livestock, and another man would arbitrarily fix the price to the con sumer of meats. It would be against pub lic policy and result In the greatest com mercial warfare ever waged on this con tinent, and in the end the packers' com bine would go to the wall. If the packers are wise, as I give them credit for, they will let well enough alone. If they de- kcelve us as to. their intentions then I give notice now that it will be a fight, of every producer of livestock aided by the consumers of this country, against the. most uncalled-for trust or combine ever organized. Let the packing interests be ware. They may rs well understand the limit has been reached in their grasping strenuoslty." Snlt ARnlnnt Beef Traat. CHICAGO, Aug. 4. The suit against the alleged" beef trust was aent a step forward hero today by the filing in the United States Court by demurrers by the defend ants, both as individuals and as corpora tions. The demurrer set up at consider able length that the complaint on which an injunction 13 asked Is Insufficient. The effect of the filing of the demurrers is technically to admit all the allegations charged In the bill of complaint. The argument advanced In support of the pack ers' position Is that, admitting tho truth cf the charge, no sufficient ground has been shown for the issuance of the pe tition In the writ. The instrument was signed by John W. Miller, counsel for ell the packers. If the demurrer shall be sus tained oy the court the original complaint may be amended, and if overruled the de fendants will have the privilege of an swering. It is not expected that any further steps will be taken In the case by either side until about October I. when the Federal Judges return from their vaca tions.
