A REAL WAR
Is in Progress in Our Sister Re
public of Colombia.
Information of the Situation is
Carefully Suppressed By
A PRESS CENSORSHIP.
A PRESS CENSORSHIP.
Both Factions Claim to Have the
Advantage.

New YORK, Feb. Ia. A late arrival
from the Isthmus of Panama brings
information of the seriousness of the
revolution now in progress in the re-
public of Colombia. Battles have
been fought at several places in the
interior, which the government reports
as disastrous to the revolutlonists, but
the agents of the rebels assert that
this is not true. The activity of the
government in chartering the coast
wise steamer Premier and forwarding
arms and ammunition to the southern
departments shows the anxiety felt.
No reports unfavorable to the govern
ment are allowed to be printed.
Local mails and personal letters are
subject to inspection and letters of
significance antagonistic to the gov
ernment would result in the immedi-
ate arrest of the sender. All pas
senger ships arriving at Colon are
closely examined for suspected SYM
pathizers and munitions of war and
the cable lines are also under sur
veillance.
Affairs on the isthmns are very dull
and seemingly quiet, but an outbreak
is imminent at any time, as the Ia
borers EN- ployed by the Panama rail-
road and canal companies are on the
verge of a strike, owing to low wages
and increased cost of living since jan
uary 1, when an import duty of 10 per
cent on all invoices went into effect,
and in the event of strike of rail-
road employees there is but little
doubt that the sympathizers with the
revolution would take advantage of
it to secure arms and ammun ition
from the government department.
No one is allowed on the streets of
Panama and Colon without a pass
after 10 p. m. and the police are
ready to disperse any crowd even in
the day time. News of the wreck of
the 81 eamship Amerique, of the Cam
pagnie Generate trans Atlantique off
Savanilla on January 81, reached
Colon January 80, and the agent of
the company applied to the COM
mander of the American man Of war
Atlanta, lying off the port, for his as
sistance, but owing to the critical
condition of affairs on the isthmus
and the assurance that no lives
were in danger, the captain de-
cided that his ship was needed
more for the protection of
to assist the French ship. The
presence of the Atlanta at Colon and
the Nymph and the Satellite, two
English memo war, at Panama, has
salutary effect on the dissatis fed
employees of the Panama railroad
company, as heretofore all strikes
have resulted in the burning and pill
laying, not only of the railroad prop
erty, but of all other classes of prop
erty, and these people know that as
long as a man-of- war is in the bay
there will be no chance of plumber
ing the stores, as the blue JACKIE is
would be sent ashore at once to pro-
tect property.

FIVE MEN TO BE HANGED.
rwenty-sIxth Annual Report of the
Board Made Public.

rwenty-sIxth Annual Report OF the
Board Made Public.
WARRINGTON. Feb. 13.-Secretary
Hol<e Smith has made public the
twenty-sixth annual report of the
board of Indian commissioners. Be
garding the purchase OF supplies for
the Indians, the report says prices
were surprisingly low. Last spring
the contract business was divided be-
tween New York and Chicago. The
commissioners cannot see that any
thing was gained by this arrangement
and say the division of the work in
wolves considerable increase of ex-
pense.
1.-THE graphic picture drawn by
Senator Dawes of the sad state of
affairs in this territory, occupied and
owned by the five civilized tribes,
was" the report says, ito many
new revelation. Those Indians have
civilization, conducting a wise self
government, supporting their own
schools and courts of justice, and en-
joying all the comforts of home life,
that it was surprising to hear
that courts and legislative bodies
are utterly corrupt; that the
public school system is primi-
tive and inefficient; that the
lands belonging to the whole people
by treaty rights are, to- a large ex-
tent, absorbed by few enterprising
half-breeds that have gained COM
plete control and pay no attention to
the welfare of the great majority of
the people, that crime goes unpun-
ished, and that the white people who
have settled in the territory, have no
protection. But all this has long
been a familiar story to us. We have
repeatedly called attention to the
deplorable facts.
The suggestion is made that con-
gress exercise its sovereign right and
take control of affairs there. The
com missioners say the policy of allot-
ing lands in severaltv is working well
and that under it individual Indians
are slowly learning lessons of indie
pendence and self-reliance, but legis-
1ation is recommended to prevent the
sale of intoxicants to these Indians,
and to reimburse the states for
revenue lost through these lands
being non taxable. Educa ton is re-
ported as progressing steadily among
the Indians and closing, the COM
mission recommends application of
the civil service law to the Indian
service.

House Decides Against the Sheme by q
Big ajorlty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ia. - Members
crowded before the speakers desk in
the'house yesterday to secure consider
alton of the many local measures
which are being endangered by the
near approach of the close of the
session. Among the bills and resolu-
tions passed were those returning
war flags to certain Michigan regi-
ments; donating condemned cannon
to Des Moines, Iowa; incorporating the
National Association of Florists; sem
ate bill granting public lands in Mis-
souri, to aid the mechanical and ag-
ricultural schools of the state, and
house bill authorizing the restoration
of the public domain of certain res
ervations in Mississippi and Alabama
now held by the navy department for
naval purposes
The house then resumed consid err
alton of the Legislative, judicial and
executive appropriation bill.
When the bill was reported back to
the house the contest was resumed
against the provision for annual clerks
to congressman. Dockery pointed out
that the annual clerks would cost
1855, 600 before the next congress
ACTUALLY assembled. Inc intensity OF
feeling aroused by the struggle
brought out many humorous incl
dents. Mr.. De Almond criticised con-
gressional vultures. Mr.. Bartlett re-
sented the imputation, and declared
that Mr.. De Almond was not vul-
ture but a raven, continually croak-
ing never more"
Mr.. Dockery finally cut of the
lively debate by moving the previous
question, which was ordered. A yea
and nay vote YVES then taken on the
amendment for the annual clerks and
IL was defeated--yeas, 90; NAYS, 49,
Most Of the Republicans voted for the
clerks and the Democrats against.
The legislative appropriation bill
was then passed without division and
the house at 4:25 o. M. adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-RepresenIa-
tives Culberson, Bailey and Ray were
appointed as conferees on the part of
the house on the Indian territory
court measure known as the Teller
bill. These men will work to retain
the present courts at Paris and Fort
Smith. 1t is believed, however, that
the senate friends of the Morgan
amendment to the Indian appropria-
ton bill now pending in the senate,
which provides for three courts in
the territory. will not abandon the
idea of attaching it to the appropria-
ton bill unless the house conferees
on the Teller bill will agree to pretty
much everything the senate conferees
will hold out for.

in the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-In the sem
ate yesterday Mr.. Cullom presented
memorial from various trade and
transportation associations in Chi
cago asking legislation to protect ex-
press companies from train robbers
and railroad trains from train wreck
ers. Mr.. Gray reported adversely
from the committee on privileges and
elections the resolution providing for
the election Of senators by direct vote
of the people.
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas reported the
bill adopted by the finance committee
for the unlimited coinage of silver.
Mr.. Aldrich and Mr.. Hill asked for
the reading of the bill, and Mr. Aid
rich then explained that he made the
request to show all of what he con-
sidered the meritorious features of
the bill had been stricken out and
the obje ctionable part retained. Mr..
Sherman said the minority had done
what it could to prevent the reporting
of this bill, and he was very emphatic
against it. Mr.. Jones replied that
the majority for the bill was a very
decided one and he asked for imme-
date consideration.
Mr.. Aldrich suggested that it might
take the place of the bankruptcy bill
II object to that" exclaimed Mr..
George. Mr.. Call objected to the
consideration of the bill. Mr.. Harris
said the objection would be with
drawn if the bill could be passed
without debate. Mr.. Aldrich said that
was hardly possible, and the bill went
to the calendar.
Mr.. PETER called up his resolution
requesting the judiciary committee
to report his resolution inquiring into
the legality of the recent bond issue.
Mr.. Hill suggested the committee
might wish to wait for an opinion
from the attorney general Mr..
PETER said he did not want the opin-
ion of the attorney general; that he
himself knew more about the matter
than did the attorney general '"Then,
/ have no more to say" replied Mr..
Hill. Tne resolution went to ia
calendar.
Mr.. Blackburn moved to take up
the postofice appropriation bill and
Mr.. Allen took the floor, but yielded
to Mr.. Stewart to discuss the last
message of the president on the cur
rency question.
A Joint resolution to enlarge the
Redo if Indian reservation in Wis
cOnsin was passed, after which Mr..
Allen resumed his speech on the
alleged election frauds in Ala bama,
but was interrupted by point of no

peared and Mr.. Allen continued his
speech.
At the conclusion of Senator Aliens.
remarks Senator Morgan read a pro-.
test by himself and colleague, Sena-
tor Pugh, against the proceedings in
the senate, characterizing the speech
as "a clear abuse of parliamentary
law, in disregard Of the urgent neces-
stiles of public business and an as
sault upon the rights of Alabama as
a state of the union and upon the
character of our government and peo-
Pile"
Discussion of the postoffice appro-
priat1on bill YVES resumed. At adj
journment the bill had not been dis
posed of.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-Henry Wat ter
son delivered an address last night
upon Abraham Lincoln before the Lin
coin Council of the National Union.
The address was delivered in the
Auditorium, which was filed to the
doors. The speaker paid an eloquent
tribute to the commanding powers of
Lincoln and to the breadth and 1iber-
atty of his nature. Speaking of the
famous Hampton Roads conference.
when Mr.. Lincoln met the agents of
the Confederacy regarding terms on
which peace could be arranged, Mr..
Watterson said:
s'Mr. Lincoln had intimated that
payment for the slaves was not out
side the possible agreement for re-
union and peace. l am not going. to
tell any tales out of school am not
here for controversy. but when we
are dead and gone, the private mem
oranda of those who knew what
terms were really offered the Con-
federacy within ninety days of it's
total collapse. will show that in the
individual Judgment of all of them
the wisdom of the situation said
Accept
Mr.. Watterson concluded as fol-
lows: "Born as lowly as the Son of
God, in a howell; of what ancestry we
know not, and care not; reared in
penury squalor, with no CLEAN of
light or fair surroundings; without
external graces, actual or acquired;
without name or fame or official train
ing; it was reserved for this strange
being, late in life, to be snatched from
ObScurity raised to supreme command
at supreme moment, and entrusted
with the destiny of nation.
''Where did Shakespeare get his
genius? Where did Mozart get his
music? Whose hand smote the Tyre
of the Scottish plowman and staid the
life of the German priest? God, God,
and God alone; and so surely as these
were raised up by God, inspired by
God was Abraham Lincoln; and a
thousand years hence, no story, no
tragedy. no epic poem will be filed
with greater wonder or followed by
mankind with deeper feeling than
that which tells of his life and death.''
