Panama'B declaration of indbpond
onco was road from a newspaper by
the profect to a crowd assomblod In
tho plaza, nnd was greeted by furious
outcries and shouts of "Death to tho

Out Customers Gome Back
When cusiomers return and keep reluming, a deal'

A Steady growing business is also evidence that
the public is satisfied with a store's policy.

Impossible of execution. I
United Statos Vice-Consul I,ovInre
was sitting on a balcony of his house
at Ilnrranqullla. when somo stones
were thrown at him. He retired In
doors, and was not further molested
by the Colombian!!
The peoplo of rjnrranqullln have
been swept off thelrbnlanco by the
suddenness nnd serlousnoss of the
nows. Revolutionary talk began Im
mediately, and threats wore made
against tho congressmen responsible
for the non-rntlflcation of the liny
Herran canal treaty.
Fears of Foreigners.
Fer nro entertained for the safety
of Americans In Colombia, and of the)
possibility or the anger of the popu
lace being vented against foreigners
generally. The authorities at 8vull

covering the wharf.
There Is no confirmation of the ro-
ant Curtain dived into the fire cham
ber, and emerged with the unconscious
form of a seaman In his grasp.
After a hurried resuscitation tho
seaman and his officer would go buck
to the fight, only to succumb again to
the smoko. Finally the Annies were
extinguished, nnd then the lieutenant
was missed. A sailor plunged into
tho compartment, and a Bocond lntor
came out with the limp body of tho
officer In his anna. Klvo senmon, In
a similar condition, wore stretched out
on tho deck. All were hurried on
board tho Olympla In drydock, and the
surgeons soon brought them to con
sciousness. Tho damage to tho Law
rence was trifling.
