TOBACCOS Astoria, Oregon COLOMBIAN TROOPS ARE TAKEN AWAY General Torres, Believing Situa tion at Colon to Be Hope less, Sails for Orinoco With Army. Populace Is Enthusiatic and Revo lutionisb Will Adhere to the New Government OUR ATTITUDE IS FRIENDLY Little QucMlou That the United Htitto Will Recognize the JtcpubllcirUl'rove Substantial. Colon. Nov. 5. After a conference thl afternoon, General- Torres, com mander of the Colombian troop here seeing that the situation was hopeless, embarked hi soldiers on the Royal Mall teumer Orinoco, wlili h sailed for Cartagena at p. m. A special train from Panama brought Ueneral Tovar, ho alio sailed on the Orinoco, The people of colou are now Jubilant. Troops from Panama will doubtless take charge of the city tomorrow. The municipal council of Colon has notified the provisional government at Panama of Its adherence to the new republic. The United States cruiser bUle'has Just arrived. The tension here was somewhat re lieved this evening, when General Tor res and General Tovax, with their sol diers, sailed for Cartagena. After a conference last nfrht between the Unit ed States consul and the Colombian commander, General Torres, it was agreed that the Colombian troops should be removed from the city, but this morning General Torre marched hi troops to the center of the city, which caused the binding of the Amer. lean bluejackets. The marines were entrenched behind bales of cotton on the wharves. When asked for his reason for hav ing disregarded his agreement, General Torres said that Monkey hill, the place where his troops were encamped, was too unhealthy, rendering a return to town necessary. This afternoon Gen eral Tovar and his staff at Panama be came convinced of the hopelessness of resisting the provisional government and agreed to abandon the town. This decision was brought about by Com mander Hubbard, of the Nashville, and Assistant Superintendent Prescott, of the Panama railroad, and wo doubt less hurried by the fact that at the time revolutionists were marching to ward the line of the Colombian forces. When General Torres learned of "Gen Tovar's decision he reconsidered the threat made -artier In the day to give fight to any rebel troops coming from Panama, and agreed likewise to leoyi for Cartagena. Late thbjjjfernflGn a special train brojightGeneral Tovar from Panarmrtfidat 6 p. m when the steamsplp Oronoco sailed, she carried both generals and their troops. OUR ATTITUDE FRIENDLY. Washington. Nov, 5. The president will probably make a statement tomor row regarding the provisional govern ment of Panama, of the establishment of which thl government was officially Informed today. In view of the latest advices from Colon, to the effect that the Junta has succeeded in gaining con trol of the situation, it Is expected the announcement will recognise the newly established government, but It wss Im possible to secure official Information on this point. The decision to make the announce ment tomorrow was reached after V conference at the White House to night. A cablegram was received to night from the American consul it Colon, saying that 400 Colombian troops had sailed for Cartagena. .'' i v Orders have been sent to the various naval commanders in th Carrtbaan that the isthmus Is to b policed, tran sit kept open and also that bloodshed must be prevented ftt any cost. This is further than the United State has ever rohe heretofore, and In the opln ion of officials here Indicates that the establishment of the new government at Panama, if It prove stable and orderly, will have the good wishes of the United States and our ultimate rec ognition and co-operation In conducting an orderly and permanent government on the Isthmus. The advocates of the construction of the Panama canal say this assures the execution of that pro ject. PACKING FIRMS SEEK PEACE Will Offer An Increase In Wages That Will Be Accepted. Chicago, Nov. 5.
