WASHINGTON, May &C. Since the last mail from
Panama events at that place have been much less
exciting, and the wisdom and determination of the
provisional government have justified the belief
that it is equal to the situation and can preserve
the peace of the Isthmus and the freedom of tran
sit. Generals Reyes and Jntaya have viewed the
presence of the United States forces favoraby as
TO virtually regard them allies and the relations
between the American marines and the Colomba

THE INDIANS.
HOstiles Compel U. y. Troops 10 Retire
Cow Boys on the Trail with BarbarOus
Intentions.

WASHINGTON. May 26.-Advices received at
Tucson, Arizona, from Lordsburg, state that
the soldiers attacked the Indians on Blue riv-
er yesterday, but were compelled to retreat
with three of their number wounded. II is
believed that the Indians will attempt to re-
cross into Sonora by way of Arizona. 1t will
be impossible for them to do so without COM
ing in contact with troops. The COW boys, who
are guarding every pass, number fully 120, and
are thoroughly armed. They are trailing the
Indians, and should they meet hostiles before
they get into Mexico, there will be deadly
fight. Bucks, squsws and pspooses will share
in the fate of determination. "No quarter"
is the Cry of the COW boys.
A despatch from Santa Fe, New Mexico,
says that Capt. Smith OF the Fourth Cavalry
had fight last Friday with the Apaches in
Mogollon mountains 30 miles east of Alma.
The Indians were routed. Their loss is un-
known. The troops are crowdiDg the redskins
and another conflict is expected at any mo-
ment.

on Lake Superior, and all board pershed.
Nothing has been seen heard of the vessel since

Desperate Act of n Crazy Negro.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 26.-Jesup, which is the
meeting point for the trains of the lower divi-
sion of the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia
Railroad, has negro character known as
"Crazy Bill" Early yesterday morning a
freight train of thirty cars, bound for Macon,
was awaiting the arrival of passenger train
from Macon. Bill stole into the locomotive
cab, blew the whistle, and started off shooting
over many switches but keeping the track. The
lunatic ran the train five miles, hut it was
stalled at the foot of hill, as the water in the
boiler ran low. The engineer, yard master
and others on seeing the train leave ran after
and found it at the hill. The lunatic on stop
ping blew the signal for switchman, and then
sat down on the end of a cross tie, where he
was found by the crowd. He was reading his
testament, and was secured easily. No time
was lost in side-tracking the train, which was
accomplished just as the passenger train came
up. But for the giving out Of the water in the
boiler the freight would have met the psssen-
ger train in frightful collision. The lunatic
was placed in JAIL and will be sent to an asyl-
um. The only damage done was the tearing
up of the track in the yard at Jssup.

Rev. @. B. PitbladO Has an Interview
With RieI.

With RieI.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 26.-The Evening
Despatch publishes special from Winnipeg,
giving the particulars of an interview between
Riel and Rev. Mr.. Pitblado, who accompanied
the former to Saskatoon in the steamer Mort b. 1.
cote. Riel bitterly denounces the priests and
says they are selfish and meddlesome class
and caused the present trouble. He had 500
men at Batouche and 150 on the north side Of
the river. He also said 8 were killed and 2
fatally wounded. Riel says the half breeds
did not rebel and they were not treated fairly
and hopes for treaty similar to the one made
with the settled halt-breeds of Manitoba. He
claims to be citizen of the United States
and hence not traitor to Canada, and this
will probably be his line Of defence.

HALIFAX, n. S., May 26.-The Norwegian bark
Alma, from Rochefort, France, for Bridgewater. N.
ST. arrived here yesterday, having been in collision
with an iceberg. Her captain reports that on May
the bark struck an iceberg, stem on. The wind was
blowing stiff breeze from the southwest, and the
ship struck the berg with tremendous force knock
lug her bows in completely above the water line.
She lost her bowsprit and foretopgallantmast. Tenn
porary repairs were made, and the hole patched up
with wood and canvas The bark only leaked af-
terward when being driven into heavy head seas.
The berg was 120 feet high and 400 feet long, and
there plenty Of broken ice in the vicinity at the
time Of the accident. If the bark had struck the
iceberg oeow the water line at the of speed she
was going it is not likely she would ever have reach
ed port. The weather heavy after the collision,
and it was due to the great exertions of the cap
tain and crew that the Alma vas got in condition
to proceed at all. Eight days after striking, the
ALMA was spoken by swedish bark bound to Que
bee whose cap ain offered take the crew off, but
Capt. jacobson refused to al andon his vessel. The
Alma is in bad condition, and will require extern

THE COUNTY LIE

TILE COUNIN LEAGUE.
PORTLAND. May 20.
TO the Base Ball Editor Of the Press;
My attention has been called to the communica-
tion from the Bridgton Ball Club in your issue of
this morning.
The Bridgton club applied for admission to the
County League and was refused at a league meet
ing. The ground for the refusal was that they
we're out of the circuit and their admission would
make an odd number Of members, and there being
club to admit and offset their admission the
league decided as il did.
IL was but few seasons ago that Cumberland
County League. SO called, was formed at BridgtoD,
but when clubs in this vicinity applied for member
ship they were refused the grounds that clubs
were wanted from that part of the county south of
Windham.
If the Bridgton club wishes to arrange games
with the clubs now in membership they can easily
do so and should another team apply for admission
both would probably be admitted but not one alone.
