PROTECTIVE AND PREVENTA-
TIVE MEASURES ON ISTHMUS.
' COLON. Dec. 14. A company of
marine from the cruiser Prairie was
landed here today nd Immediately
started. by tra tn for Panama.. The- des
tination of the marines is said to be
Yavlxa. up the Kan Miguel gulf and the
Tucarl river. It Is believed the deci
sion of the naval authorities to station
the marines at Yavlza may possibly
be owing to the reports that Colombian
troops hi Ve been seen In that direction.
The opinion seems to prevail that the
few Colombian soldiers seen were
probably scouts who were endeavoring
to' learn what preventive and protec
tive measures" were being taken by the
Republic of Panama. It Is more likely
the movement of marines to Yavlxa is
in conformity with the policy of tbe
naval authorities to concentrate the
forces at points which offer the best
facilities for getting Immediate 'Infor
mation of the movement of Colombian
troops toward Panama and at the same
time affording; the marines some re
lief irora . their confinement to the
ships. The marines carried with them
all the requisites for camp life and
also a number of machine guns.
Ready for Business,
Washington. Dec. 14. The news of.
the movement of marines, based as It
was on the reported landing of Co
lombian troos In that part of the
isthmus, was received with keen Interest-
There was. however, no out
come in the shape of orders for troops,
though the arrival here of Brigadier
General J. Franklin Bell was regarded
as confirming the previous statements
to the effect that the army is, making
ready to do Its share . at a moment's
notice.
Panama Must Pay Bills;
. London, 15. The correspondent
of the Morning Leader at The Hague
says it is reported that both Holland
and Great ISrltaln Insist the Republic
of Panama shall assume the liability
for $18,000,000 of the Colombian debt.
Only Two Are Going.
Vallejo, Cal.. Dec. 14. The report
that the -entire torpedo fleet has been
ordered to Panama"! Is not confirmed
officially. So far the. Perry and the
Paul Jones are the only torpedo boats
with orders to go to the isthtius. These
two boats are now ready o leave, but

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14 The Senate
spent the day on the Cuban bill, the

argument against toe constitutionality
of the proceedings. He claimed no

PRESS REPORTS OP GENERAL
, BLISS TESTIMONY SAID TO BE
PRECISEL.T CONTRARY TO WHAT
IIE TESTIFIED 3EN. BLISS DE
NIES SOME OF STATEMENTS.
WASHINOTON; Dec. -14. Secretary
Root' has addressed the following let
ter to Senator Proctor, acting chairman
of the committee on military affairs:
I enclose a letter from Brigadier Gen
eral Tasker H. Bliss, asking attention
to report that his recent testimony be
fore your committee aa witness regard
ing certain objections to tne confirma
tion of General Wood. It appears the
press reports of General Bliss' testi
mony5 are precise by the contrary of
what he In fact testified.
: "At the same time :I wish to call the
attention of the. committee to the fact
that some persons seem to be persist
ently ; furnishing i to 1 the press false
statements of the testimony taken by
you. the perversion of evidence being
In every case to the prejudice of Gen
eral Wood. It ; hardly seems fair that
an officer who is not here to protect
himself, but Is , serving his country
faithfully under orders on the other
side of the world, should have his repu
tation stabbed, In this way. I earnestly
request your committee's attention to
this subject.
J "General Bliss says he testified most
positively under oath that from neither
General Wood nor any one else what
soever had he received even an intima
tion as to a remission of duties upon
the Jal Alal silver service; that he or
dered the remission because he believed
then and believes now It was in ac
cordance with the law. He says he
further testified that during the twd
and a half years that he served direct
ly under General Wood, he knew of no
action of his that was not consistent
with, the character of an honorable of
ficer and a man of integrity, y,

DEFECTS CORRECTED.
County Judge Scott had the brick
masons .at work, yesterday correcting
the defects in the 'flues throughout the
court house which were .brought Into
evidence a a result df the fire in that
building on Saturday afternoon.
Eight of tie flues Which are con
stantly in use "during the winter
months have - been . provided with
clean outs," being ar; opening near
the bottom of the flue, which is cov-?
ered with a metal lid. By removing
.a tarn . ..a . . . .

can be taken out and the flue thor
oughly cleaned, thus removing all
danger of fire from this source. The
county court' ha . employed chimney
sweeps at regular Intervals In the past
and tt no time has-, there been much
danger of a fire originating in the
upper part of the flues, but as the
s Keepers had no access to the lower
portion, a large amount; of soot had
accumulated at the bottom of the flues
where, as vraa evidenced by Satur
day's blase the danger waa much
greater than It would have been had
the fire start ed-aborre. -
The' threatened biaze on Saturday
has again brought into discussion the
matter of providing Marion county's
court house with a hot water or steam
heating system. Such a' move has
been strongly advocated In the past
by many of the county's leading busi
ness men and taxpayers, who took
upon tbe matter, not only from a
labor saving standpoint, ; but from a
standpoint of economy as well. There
are at present a total of fifteen heal
ing stoves in the different officer and
court rooms of the court house. tenof
which must be supplied with wood
each week day during' the winter
months. The. Janitor la compelled to
carry the wood from the basement up
the narrow stairways to tha different
floors, which is by no means an easy
task and would tax the strength of
the strongest man.
It is argud by those who profess to
know, that it would require but
small portion of the amount of wood
consumed under the present system, to
supply a furnace which would heat the
entire building, and, therefore, figur
ing the cost of wood st present prk-ee.
the saving, in fuel alone would ay for
the original expense of Installing a
modern heating plant In a few years.
It Is further argued that the Installa
tion of such a plant would practically
remove all danger of the destruction
of the building by fire, and would con
sequently reduce the rate of Insurance,
which In itself would be an item of
considerable- Importance to the tax
payers. SIGftUND FRAftK ROBBED
