General Carlos Alban. military commander of this dis trict and governor of Panama, was killed during the fighting this morning. Some of the men killed on the gov ernment ship Lautaro have been brought ashore.

JO.-No word haa yet been received at the Colom bian legation touching the reported naval battle between the government ships and the revolutionary fleet off Panama. It Is feared the death of General Alban will have a demoralis ing effect upon his army. Dr. Sllva. the Colombian minister here, has been assured by the state department that anything In the na ture of a bombardment of either of the isthmian towns would be prevent ed by the American naval representa tives. Captain Mead, of the Philadelphia, has the same general Instructions from Secretary Long which governed tht actions of Cantitln Perry, of the bat tleship Iowa, when the Liberals cap tured Colon, and h will Intervene on ly when American Interests or treaty rights are threatened.

Mr. Morgan's Idea In to Call the New Coiu-eru the Ameri can Line. NEW YORK, Jan. 20. Considerable Interest Is being taken by steamship men in London and Liverpool over the visit of Mr. Plerrie and Mr. Wilding to Sew York, cables the Herald's Lon- ! don representative. There sems no doubt that their mis sion Is to discuss with Mr. Morgan the amalgamation of several big steamship lines. The opinion prevails that some sort of consolidation will be effected, whether for general or freight traffic only. It is well known that Mr. Mo-gan. representing, as he does the Leyland line, which numbers 57 vessel.-!, is anxious to bring about a combination of lines which shall prac tically control the freight trade, at least, between America and England ports. It is known also that the Am erican line backed by the Pennsyl vania railroad is willing to enter the consolidation. Then, of course, Mr. Mor gan represents the steel ccrporatlon, and with one of the great English com panies aa a member of the combination he will be In a position to dictate terms Mr. Ismay and the others represent the White Star line and some steam ship men believe that the announce ment of consolidation, with them and other great lines will follow soon aft er the conference with Mr. Morgan. From a source which there is every reason to believe trustworthy fl Is learned that Mr. Morgan's Idea to call such a new concern the "American Line- and this is the one thing to which the White Star people are un willing to agreet The manager of the present Amerie-vn line haa been named as manager of the consolidated lines. The Canard company. It is understood. Is watching the outcome of the confer ence with interest as the combina tion if effected will make It the only large independent English line run ning to New York!. AGED CITIZEN DEAD.

The presi dent today ent to congress with a ' message, simply of the transmittal, the supplemental report of the Isthmian canal commission in which It Is unan imously recommended that the offer of the new Panama Canal Company xo The report gives detailed figures on the assets and liabilities of the Panama . 1 . v. tnm. company, ana summiii, u(i n.r the total value of the property Ul found to be: Excavirlng done, $27, 4.I.W.1; Panama railroad stock at iar, Kiss.:); maps, drawings and records, J-OvMoO: Total, tZi W.i:3.

The estimates of construction cf the Nicaragua canal is t3.e0,704 more than the cost of completing the Panama canal. The estimated cost of maintaining: and operation la $1,300,000 greater ai Nicaragua than at Panama. The Fan am route would be 1H. mflea shorter. than the Nicaragua routs from sea to sea, with fewer locks and less cur vature. The estimated time for deep draft vessels to pass through the Nica ragua canal was placed at S3 hour as against 12 hours for the Panama. If the passage was made without In terruption, about a day could be saved, by the Nicaraguan over the Panama route by ordinary steamers- between Pacific ports and Atlantic porta, and about two days by steamers of the same clas9 trading between our Quit ports and North Pacific ports. Betewen the Atlantic ports and the west coast of South America, the Panama route has the advantage of about one day. The estimated cost of the two canals Is as follows: Nicaragua, $1S9,84.0S2. Panama. $184,233,558. The question whether the new Pana ma canal company can make to the purchaser a valid title to the property formerly belonging to the old com- ' pany. Us predecessor. Is considered at length. The report concludes aa fol lows: After considering "the changed condi tions that now exist, and that all the facts and circumstances upon which its present judgment must be based, the commission Is of the opinion that the most practical and feasible route for the Isthmian canal to be under the control, management, and owner ship of the United States, Is that known as the Panama route. The report Is signed by the entire commission. The state department will now proceed to arrange a protocol with Dr. Sllva. engaging Colombia to ap prove of the transfer of the franchise of the Panama company and to matte any desirable extensions of time al lowance for completion of the canal and the life of the lease. FAMOUS SWEDISH EXPLORERS. Dr. Sven Hedin Back After Two Tears' Exploration in Tibet. NEW YORK, Jan. 20.

Dr. Hedin will not return directly to his home In Stockholm, but will wHh his band of Cossacks, make a trip to some point In Russia, where he may return to the proper authorities the men who have aided him so materially in his work.
