News reached here this evening tlint about 200 armed men, who are thought to be malcontent Panamans, rather than Co lon.bian soldiers, have been seen in the neighborhood of Culebra, threatening hostilities against the Panama govern ment. As soon aa the American authorities of the canal zone became cognizant of this force, marines were sent out to ascertain their purpose. It is rumored that a Bkirmish occurred inland, in which several -were killed, but there is no confirmation of this report. Navy Department Not Advised. Washington, Oct. 24. Assistant Secretary Darling tonight said that, so far as he was aware, no advices had been received at tho navy department of the reported skirmish between United States marines and PanamanB on the isthmus. If any dispatches have been received, the assistant secre tary added, they in all probability would be sent to the department, and would not be delivered to the officials until morning. At this time the navy has about 450 marines on the isthmus, a sufficient force, in the opinion of the administration, to cope with any diffi culty which is likely to develop. OFFICERS ARE SKOT. Armv Is Said to Have the Offensive. 8t. Petersburg, Oct. 20. There ia jubilation throughout the city over the news that General Kuropatkin has re sumed the offensive, and the holiday which began with little heart closed brightei. The crowds In the streets and the illuminations in' honor of tho czarevitch's nameday gave a tinge of brilliancy to an evening otherwise do pressing, through a constant diizzlo of rain. Newsboys up to midnight raced through the thoroughfares with evening extras, Bhouting "Great Russian vic tory," and the crowds bought tho pa pers greedily. Groups of men in bril liant uniforms, or in evening dross at the hotels and restaurants, discussed the change in tho fortunes of war, but, as a whole, tho population was slow to take flro. JSows of the earlier reverses had been received stolidly, and tho re ports of Russian successes and tho cap ture of guns were quietly accepted with satisfaction, but with considerable re serve. The emperor marked tne day by ap pointing his youthful heir chief of the cadet corpB, and by a ukase pensioning tho Burvivors, widows and orphans of the Turkish-Russian war and promoting all the retired captains of the Turkish- Russian war to the tank of lieutenants colanel.

Two city detect ivea are aeaa ana anotner ib not ex pected to live during the night, while one tiain robber suspect is at the morgue and two others are in the hos pital, one probably fatally wounded and the other badly beaten up, as the result of a desperate battle between five officers and three men whom they tried to arrest. ine ngni occurreu in tne lront room of a house on Pine street, and the men whom the detectives sought to arrest are suspected of being implicated in a tram robbery at Centralia, 111, a few weeks ago. The house had been undei police sur veillance for several days, but today was the mat time that any of the sus pects was seen to entei or leave. A few minutes before the fighting oc curred Vaughn left the house and started to wa'k down Pine street. The detectives closed in on him, and after he had gone some distance from the house he was arrested. Accompanied by their prisoner, the defectives returned and entered the bouse. Sha, McOlueky and Dwyer were leading, Boyle and James were behind with the prisoner. Hardly had the detectives entered the room in which Rose and Blair were seated than they were met with a volley of shots from a heavy caliber gun. Shea sank to the floor and Dwyer followed almost immediately. Japanese Retreat Cut Off. Mukden, Oct. 20. It is reported that tho Russian army Ib advancing. Rain is hindering everything.

Emigrant Ship With 2,200 People Reported to Have Gone Down. London, Oct. 20. The Standard prints a dispatch from Vienna in this morning's issue, stating a rumor is prevalent at Fiume, on the Adriatic coast, that a Gunard liner with 2,200 emigrants on board, which left that city last week, has sunk off the Span ish coast in a storm. Considerable excitement has been created here by the report, although it is believed if such a calamity had oc curred, London or Liverpool would have received news of it from a point nearer the alleged scene of the disaster than Fiume. Telegraphic inquiry made at Liver pool, where the Cunard line has its British offices, elicited no further news. One of the officials declared he had re ceived no such report, and as far as he knew, none of bis colleagues was in possession of more information than was given to the world by the Stand ard. The Standard is a reliable paper. It prints the rumor without comment ing on it, simply giving it for what it ib worth. Washington, Oct. 21. -Tho president haa instructed Secretary of War Taft to proceed at an early date to Panama to confer with tho president of that re public with a view to compromising the differences that have arisen between the two countries. Senor Obaldi, minister of Panama to the United States, held a conferonco with the secretary of state and eecrtary of war, and tho secretary of war in vlted the mlnistei to accompany him on his trip to Panama. It Ib impos Bible to say exactly when tho secretary oi war can leave for Panama, but probably on Novembor 14. It is his purposo to go to Panama on the army transport Sumner from Now York. Secretary Taft is authorized by the president to tako with him who ever he pleases in connection with tho work at hand, and while tho personnel of the party has not yet been arranged it is thought it will be a laigo ono. Representing Panama will be Minister Obaldia. Admiral John O. Walker will go as a representative of tho canal commission. Judgo Charles Mngoon. the law officer of tho commission and the bureau of insular affairs, and who has been of much assistance in framing orders and regulations for tho canal strip, also will bo of the party. Tho members of the senate and house com mittces dealing with the isthmian affairs will bo invited. Aa tho entire trip, it ia expected, can bo made inside of a month and littlo legislation is expected within the first two weeks of the approaching session of congress, it is believed tho committeemen will find time to make the trip. Ono reason why Secretary Taft desirea tho commit tee's attendance ia because he feels as they must legislate for the next ten years concerning the canal strip they will be better qualified for this im portant work by a personal knowledge of conditions on the Isthmus. JJ There were ruumora to tho effect that Secrotary Taff'a trip waa caused by friction between the three controlling elements on the isthmus, the Panama government, the American minister and the canal commission, but Secretary Taft explicitly denies this.

TRANSMITS PROTEST TO JAPAN. America Calls Attention to Alleged Use of Chinese Clothinn. Washington, Oct. 24. As indicated in the Tokio dispatches, the Japanese government, through Minister Takahin nere, has entered a formal protest against tne use of certain bodies of Russian ttoops of Chinese clothing, the offending troopB being specified in the complaint.
