ed between the governmental Bogota and the
minister Of the United States in respect to the
eecur.tv et the transit across The isthmiis:
This treaty is said to confer on the United
States government certain rights Of guardian

lection to b. exercised in accordance with the
United States of Colombia 1t is understood
that by this treaty the Columbian

only authorize but make it the duty Of the
government to give all aid required in main
tanning the transit route for commerce, mail
and passengers. 1t has become known here
that the robber, Preston, who burned Colon,
having made his escape, has since then seized
three steam vessels at Porto Bello, with the
help of which it is feared he may make trouble
unless the United States navy should capture
him.

General 1lcDovoll Dead.

Brig. Gen. Irwin Mcdowell died on Tuesday
the 5th inst, tSan Francisco His death was
due to piloric disease Of the stomach. He had
been in critical condition for the past two
weeks. Gen. Mcdowell Was born in Franklin
county, Ohio, Oct Is, 1915 At the age Of
sixteen years he entered the military academy
at West Point, having received'his preliminary
education in France Graduating from West
Point in 1888, he was appointed second lieu
tenant of artillery in the army From 1871 to
1915 he was adjutantat West Point He served
CALAMITY through tho Mexican war as aid de-
camp to Gen. Wool, and was brevetted captain
for his conduct at the battle of Buena Vista
Appointed brigadier general May IA, 1861, he
was three days later assigned to the command
of the department of Northeast Virginia and
the defenses of Washington on the Virginia
side Of the Potamac and on May 81 to the
army of the Potomac, which he commanded at
the battle of Bull Run. At the opening of the
war of the rebellion Gen. Mcdowell was con-
sidered one of the greatest soldiers of the army,
but the disasters at the first battle Of Bull Run,
for which he was probably in part RESPONSE
BILE, clouded his fortune, and it was very like ~
that it was on that account that he never rose
above secondary position during the civil
war.

Later and fuller dispatches received from

indicate that the result was not on favorable
for our troops as at first believed, and the
opinion is expressed by military men here that
the way. From comprehensive account re-

lowed by guns. We At once come upon the

themselves victors and they will assume the
