Colon, Colombia, November 10, via Gal veston Reinstatement Alban with a force Of HOO men well armed and supplied with ammunition and having cannon and modern quick-firing guns with them. has started to attack the insurgent forces, which are strongly entrencbed at Chor- era. Half of Alban's force left Panama in large launches, lowed by the Colombian gunboat Boyaca. The remainder marched overland These forces are to combine and make front and rear attack on the in- surgents
 Chorera is only one good days march from Panama. General Castro accom- panies General Alban. General Lugo is in command of the insurgent forces, though Domingo Diaz is the nominal head. The Liberals claim that they pos sess a stronger force than the govern ment, but it Is generally admitted that they are indifferently armed and poorly supplied with ammunition. News of a de- cisive government victory is confidently expected this week.
 General Alban's marching orders were kept secret until the moment the troops were ordered to move. A majority of the troops which arrived here SunSay last on board the gunboat General Pinzeon will remain at Panama in order to gar rison the city.

 Winter Service.
COST WILL REACH $15,00C

Montgomery, November 19.-(SpeciaI J. An attempt will be made by Adjutant General Brandon to secure overcoats for the Alabama National Guard. Requisi- tion papers have been prepared and will be forwarded to the War Department at Washington. It is the intention of Col onel Brandon to supply every active member of the state guard with a mili- tary overcoat. For this purpose he will get five hundred overcoats for each of the three regiments and the requisite number for the cavalry and the artil- lery. The acquisitions will be forwarded to the War Department in the next few days and the overcoats are expected to arrive within a month or six weeks.
 The coats will be of the regulation kind. Each will cost $1O. The cost of the coats to be furnished the Alabama National Guard will be something over s15, GOO. This expense is, of course, borne by the national government. The Alabama Ma tional Guard has to it's credit in the War Department over s1SOoO from the last Congressional appropriation. The Alabama National Guard is at present well equipped in everything but over coats. The Guard has never been pre- pared for winter service.

TRIED FOR AIDING
 CONTEMPLATING
PHILADELPHIA LAWYER IS SAID TO HAVE SUGGESTED TO HIS CLIENTS THAT THEY MANuFAc- TURF COUNTERFEIT PLATES.

Philadelphia, November 19--The trial of John L. semple. the Camden lawyer charged with aiding and abetting Arthur Taylor and Baldwin S. Bredell in the manufacture of plates for counterfeiting notes was resumed today before Judge McPherson in the United States Court,
 The first hour was devoted to the cross examination of Arthur Taylor, who ad- mitted some discrepancies between his testimony given yesterday and at Sem- ple's preliminary hearing His testimony Of yesterday was corroborated by Bre- dell, who asserted that Semple had sug- gested the idea of counterfeiting in prison in order to secure clemency by giving up the plates to the government.
 At the conclusion of BredelTs testimony Assistant United States Attorney Gen eral J. M. Peck, who was district attor- ney when the count erfeiting conspiracy was unearthed, was called to the stand. He said that ex-Gov. Robert E. Pattison and Semple, as counsel for Taylor and Bredell had come to him and said the government was mistaken in thinking it had discovered all the plates made by their clients and that there were large number of notes in circulation undetected.
 Mir. Beck said he remembered that it was proposed that Bredell and Taylor should be allowed to go free if they would surrender the plates, and he replied that such a suggestion could not be con- sidered for a moment.
 MT. Beck said he told them that if the plates were not surrendered he would ask for the imposition of the full penalty. Thereupon MT. Pattison declared to Sem pie that if the plates were not given up he would withdraw from the case. Final ly it was agreed to give up the plates, Semple acquiescing.
 When Governor Pattison was placed on the stand he explained how he came to be retained as counsel for Bredell and Tay- Tor and how he had consented to Semple entering the case as associate counsel. In regard to the surrender of the $10 plate, he said he had advised that the plate be given up, but it was not in the nature of a threat to withdraw from the case,

HousekeeperS Along Fifth Avenue Are Pleased With
 the Experiment
SUFFER NO INCONVENIENCE
No Dresses or Carpets Ruined by the OlI-Mrs. Patton Says 1t Should
 Be Tried on Other
 s&4. Blocks. i.

As a layer of dust oil is king, say the ladies who reside in Fifth avenue along the two blocks where an experiment With 1t has been made. Interviews with many made this statement appear as the gen eral consensus of opinion among all.
 While many persons are not thoroughly satisfied with the oil experiment on ac- count of the rain on Friday and Mohuay' still every one says the result mas peeh most satisfactory insofar as 1t coulo pe felt. No one has been troubled with dust Neither has any resident suffered from having dresses or carpets ruined.
 Many of the ladies residing within the limits of the two blocks expressed them selves very freely when asked regarding the experiment.
 Tt certainly has been very satisfactory and a remarkable relief. It is possible the rain which followed within day or two may have had some effect in the trial but whether that be true or not we have not been troubled with dust" said Mrs J. M. Patton.
 Should Be Tried Elsewhere.
 Neither have we been worried by hay ing our carpets or dresses ruined. To speak frankly, I think the result so pleasing that it assuredly should be con- tinued and should be followed up In other parts of Birmingham where the drst is terrific
 Mrs. A. F. White was of the opinion that as a dust destroyer oil could not be excelled, but at the same time she felt that it should not be put on the streets so as to not cover the crossings Other wise dresses were slightly injured by com ing in contact with the fluid.
 .eWe have not suffered from the oil ex- cept that in crossing the block at one time the skirt of a dress was injured by sweeping the oily surface said she. otherwise no i'll effects have been noticed, but much good accomplished by the laying of the dust"
 Mrs B. B. Powell and the other occu- pants of her home had no complaint to make It was the opinion of all that the experiment was satisfactory. In fact, they said it was so much so they would insist that the sprinkling be continued and they be relieved of the 'monstrous devil"
 Free From Dust.
 -ssFre have had no incidents to make u' complain of the experiment" said Mrs G. ". Stirling. "On the other hand, w have been free from the suffering caused by dust in the past. At one time I no ticed a slight mark from oil on a carpet when MT. Stirling brought his bicycle in doors after riding in the center of the street where the oil had been sprinkled oonsider the exneriment very success. ful and satisfactory"
 The occupants of the home of Mrs. M G. Crawford and of other places in thu two blocks were all of the same opinion All agreed that the dust had been killed and stated they had heard no complaints from the effects of the experiment.
