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

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.

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.

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.
Spreckels' Kinsman Asks for Aid
BERLIN, Aug. 4. Peter Snreckels. 1
kinsman of the San Francisco Spreckels
family, is the principal owner of the prl
,vate banking-house of Edouard Rockhs,

The great popularity of Perun
as a catarrh remedy has tempted
many people to imitate Pemna.
A great many so-called catarrh
remedies and catarrh tonics are
to be found in many drugstores.
These remedies can be procured
by the druggist very much cheaper
than Peruna. Peruna can only
be obtained at a uniform price
and no druggist can get it a cent
cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are
tempted to substitute the cheap
imitations of Peruna for Peruna.
It is done every day without a
doubt
When a patient calls at a drug
store to procure some Peruna and
the druggist recommends some
thing else that will be juskasgood,
It may be that he does not always
recognize the responsibility that
he is taking upon himself. Suclt
a substitute is always- sure to re
suit in failure.
The claim of Peruna to being
the standard catarrh remedy of
the world is based upon the fol
lowing facts:
, has the endorsement of
