OF the rival councils were considered These

BROKERS OFFENDED
American Subscriptions to British
War Loan Displeases London.
CRITICISMS OF THE CHANCELLOR
Financial News Refers to the
"World's New Banker"
PROTEST TO BE MADE

LONDON. August s.-The allotment of
f5, 100000 of the f10,000, 600 of the war loan
to the United States is received in the
higher financial world as a good thing for
London in the present position of the Eng
lish banks. The brokers and small invest
ors severely, almost passionately, criticise
the chancellor of the exchequer, sir Mi
chael Hicks-Beach, for privately arranging
for half of the so-called public loan and
allowing the investment plum to go out
of the country. The Bank of England ad-
Vlsed Sir Michael to accept the American
offer, which was made early last week
through J. s. Morgan & Co and the Bar
ings, the joint takers, pointing out that
this was an easy and natural way to bring
in gold and save the exports to the United
States in October. Otherwise the bank
rate might have to be raised to 5 or 6 per
cent and extraordinary measures would
have to be taken to increase the gold re-
serve.
No Scramble for the Securities.
The Barings informed the Associated
Press that, though the loan was more than
subscribed in New York before the agree
ment was closed with Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, it was not twice covered, as it was
expected it would be by the negotiators
companies were large subscribers, and both
the Morgans and BarinSs said large por-
ton of the millions would come in gold.
Two million pounds, it understood is al
ready engaged
The critics of the chancellor of the ex-
chequer point out that the loan was worth
80 per cent; that it was so excellent "a
thlng that every pound should have been
Kept here; that, even if the American offer
was accepted, it should have becn done
differently, and that to ask for subscrp-
tions to ten millions when five millions
were allotted was rather tricky.
Generally, however, there is a feeling of
| satisfaction in financial circles over the
easier money prospect.
Comments of the Press

The government forces were not quite so
strong numerically, 400 men-but they
possessed better means of defending them
selves, and, moreover were not handi-
capped by the obvious hardships that ha-
raised their opponents.
On Monday, July %, there was some
desutory fighting in a different direction
the La Boca wharf. Owing to this fact
the Leander landed seventy marines. who
policed the city.
Every shopsand store In Panama had been
closed during these last days, and the diff
Guilty of obtaining food. coal and other COM
moditics can well be ina agined. The boom
ing of cannon all night long added TO the
general CONSERVATION.
AS only handful of troops were In Colon
no serious resistance could have been made
at this end.
On Wednesday, July d, the fight contin-
ued but armstice was arranged in the
morning to bury the dead and attend to
the wounded. The British ambulance corps
was again requisitoned and again rendered
its generous services, together with "a party
of other foreigners organized with that OBJ
ject in view Firing resumed in the
evening and continued during the night
until about 4:3O am. Thursday The gov
ernment forces made a gallant sortie on
Wednesday evening and drove the liberals
far San Miguel.
The news received Wednesday of the
arrival of Genera. Campo Serrano governor
of this department, at Colon with reinforce
ments was the cause of much detection in
the liberal camp On Thursday, after a con-
ference the rebels decided to surrender, and
signed articles to that effect The loss of
life on both sides was quite heavy.
The reason for the surrender of the rebels
still seems a mystery to many, as they had
plenty of men and ammunition left 1t is
currently rumored there was treachery
among the leaders, and that their cause
was sold for the sum of $150,O00. Allega-
tions of this nature, however, must be ac-
cepted with reserve.
1t is generally understood that the Pana-
ma Railroad Company promised to be neu-
tral in this strife. 1t is claimed however
that during the night of Wednesday, July
70 the reinforcements which arrived at Co
lon on that date, were rushed into Panama
and this is considered to have been tbs
croWning disaster to the liberal cause
General Herrara, comma ander-in-chief of
the liberal army, sailed away soon after
the surrender articles had been signed, on
the rebel gunboat General Gaitan, accom-
panied by a transport schooner. With him
were several prominent liberals and many
rebel troops who managed to escape with
out surrendering their arms. Their prob
able destination is Tumaco which port has
been in the hands of the liberals for some
time They are therefore, now able to ioin
the rebels in other provinces where the
liberal cause is still giving the government
serious anxiety.

left Colon for Panama but in accordance
with the above stipulations they We're com
PEELED to return to;& oiCn on the following
day, having only gone midway.
AS result of these two engagements d
difference of opinion arose between the
generals of the Cover nment with regard to
the practicability of successfully crushing
the rebel force Their principal commander,
Gen. LoZada, and two Others, one of whom
was Gen. Guerrero, We're of the opinion
that as the rebels were better armed and in
larger numbers than their own army. 1t
would be useless to continue fighting. They
were therefore proclaimed traitors to the
government and at once, sought refuge on
board the Leander.
General Alban of the department of Cauca
was then placed in command of the govern
ment forces. He was considered an honest
man and a good general He declined to
comply with the demand Of General Her
rera of the rebel army to deliver up the
city.
The rebels were said to be 1000 to 5000
strong and occupied positions which COM
pletely surrounded Panama. They were
well armed and equipped, and among their
number were many Colombians of high
reputation for integrity, intellect and good
standing in the community.

Panama has surrendered to the government
troops For few days previous to their
arrival in the vicinity of Panama their tiny
gunboats had ventured into the Bay of
Panama and exchanged shots with the gov
ernments forts and gunboat, but no great
damage is reported, owing to the long dis
tance that separated them
Before daybreak of Friday, July 20, the
government, being informed that a rebel
force was in occupation of a rising ground,
called Corazol railroad station on the
outskirts of Panama, three miles distant,
Immediately dispatched a force of about
600 men to give them battle. After a hot
and close engagement, in which both sides
suffered severely, the rebels succeeded in
maintaining their ground.
British Aid to the wounded.
An ambulance corps from the British
cruiser Leander, lying in the Bay of Pana-
ma, was In the meantime paying every at
tention to the wounded and dying of both
sides, who numbered about eighty.
During this fighting the early freight train
from Panama ran into a push car contain
ing ammunition belonging to the govern
ment This the only train that
fired upon by the rebels. several of the cars
being rddled with bullets. The engineer,
an American named Koch, had a narrow
escape, as his engine was struck several
times
Saturday, July 81, all was quiet. En-
boldened by their first successful efforts,
the rebels now pressed in and offered battle
in much closer quarters on Sunday after
noon This engagement lasted from go
pm. until pm, and the government
forces We're unable to claim, any decided
victory. As a result of this fighting the
rebels held the outer portion of Panama.
There had been looting, and it was
said the rebels were paying cash for all
they required.
The Panama Railroad Company had been
notified by the rebels that all traffic might
continue to pass as usual provided ii gave
the government no transport of either
troops, ammunition or supplies otherwise
such trains would be fired upon.

FARMER DIGS UP Fossils .-Evid-
cnces of q prehistoric civilization on
what is now the broad prairie land of
Kansas have been dug from thirty feet
below the surface OF the ground by j.
w. Dice, an Allen County farmer. Mr.
Dice has also discovered some rcmarka-
BILE fossils of ancient animals.
His first discovery was on the banks
of Neosho river, where the stream Joins
his fnrm near Neosho Falls. 1t con-
sisted of the skeletons OF two immense
buffalo, which were found standing
erect between twenty and twenty five
feet below the surface. Their positions
were natural, indicating that they had
been suddenly caught by some SUBJ
tcrranean disturbance or swallowed by
a bed of quicksand. Immediately. over
them was growing walnut tree meas
uring four feet in diameter. This tree
was without doubt between 800 and
400 years old.
Most interesting, however, of the
discoveries by Mr.. Dice are parts of u
human image which seems TO have been
made out OF concrete, though it may
have been carved from peculiar stone
not known to this age. These pieces
are found about thirty feet beneath the
surface. To ascertain to what age they
belonged or what hands probably made
them will be an interesting study for
scientists. The workmanship seems
to have been as artistic as modern
sculpture.
The vicinity in which they were
found was occupied by the Indians un-
til about thlrty-fve years ago, and since
that time it has been an Infregucntcd
prairie.

The latest Kansas corn yarn Is at
tributed 10 Pennsylvanian who is now
visiting relatives in Kansas City, and
who is said to have written home as
follows: "NIost of the streets are
paved, the grains of corn being use,l
for cobblescones, while the cobs are
followed out and used for sewer pipe.
The husks when taken off whole and
stood on end make nice tent for the
children to play in. 1t sounds queer
to hear the feed men tell the driver to
take dozen grains of horse feed over
to Jackson's livery stable. it were
not for soft, deep soil here don't see
how they ever would harvest the corn,
as the stalks would grow up in the air
as high as Methodist church steeple.
However, when the ears get too hcavy
their weight presses the stalk down in
the ground on an average of ninety
two feet; this brings the ear near
enough to the ground to be chopped
off with an axe"
