 WASHINGTON : Nov. 26. = Later advices showing the situation on the isthmus to be still unsettled contain the information that free transit by way of the railroad has been re-estab lished. These advices came in a dis patch received by Secretary Long from Captain Perry of the Iowa, who had made trip across the isthmus from Panama to Colon, from which place be sent telegram.
 The purpose of the guard presuma- bly is to prevent Interruption to the free passage of trains by insurgents congregated along the line of the road. MT.

 COLON, Nov. 26.-An armed guard of marines from the United States battleship Iowa has re-established the transit across the isthmus, and de- tails from the Iowas marines are now protecting each passenger train.
 There has been fierce fighting at Elm pire Station, on the. railroad line be- tween Panama and Colon, between the insurgents and the troops of the Co., lombian government, with very heavy losses on both sides.
 Transit traffic had been suspended for several hours, when the United States cruiser Iowa landed 200 men.
 At q conference Sunday night the commander of the General Pinzon agreed to postpone landing his troops until Friday The vessel left in the morning, it is supposed for Porto Bello.
 Sunday morning at 10 o'clock the schooner Clapet and railroad barge returned to Panama, bringing $50 men from Chorrera, being the remainder of General Alban's expedition.
 Great crowds gathered at the wharf to witness the landing of the soldiers. They were received with bands of mu- sic, but the music sounded mournful and more like funeral march than the joyful strains of welcome to q vic torious army. General Alban looked his usual and calm self and acted more like man on whose hands time hangs heavily for want of something to do than one coping with grave responsi- bilities under trying circumstances.
 At half past 3 ill the afternoon at the head of TOO men General Alban left Panama by train for Empire Station, where the Liberals were reported to be in fairly strong numbers His purpose was to surprise and rout them. The train bearing these troops was held up just before it arrived at the Culebra sta tion owing to the Liberals opening fire on Alban's advance guard. Alban dis embarked his men from the train, which returned to Panama The fight ing at Culebra lasted from 40 until 9 p. m.
 The Reys. Loveridge and Jacobs, Baptist and Wesleyan ministers re- spectively, narrowly escaped being shot. Their house in Culebra was rid dled with bullets.
 The government troops continued to advance, and the fighting, was stub- born all along the railroad line and continued until Empire Station. a mile and q half distant,owas reached. The Liberals continued slowly to retreat, Alban's men following them, until the latter eventually reached Matachin sta tion. Here he met and conferred with Captain Perry of the Iowa, who was returning from Colon on an armored train.
 Between the stations of Culebra and Empire over 15O killed and wounded men could be seen along the track The sight was grewsome.> There is 10 prop CT Red Cross organization, and the wounded lack care. The Liberals at Colon declare the majority of the men killed on the line to be Conservative troops and that the rebels are still in force along the railroad

Another Packed House Is Expected on.
 Thanksgiving Night at Auditorium.

If the people of this city never saw two really clever big men at work on the mat, they will have the opportuni- ty on next Thursday evening, when Prof M. J. Dwyer and Fl. Lundin face each other for the second time within a month. Prof Dwyer, who is at pres ent making this city his home, mas made many friends at each match he has participated in, and his following to-day is greater than any man in the athletic arena in Waterbury. He has secured those friends because he ias been square in all his matches a'1u other work in this city and because the people can rest assured that they will get a good run for their money He is desirous of showing the Water bury people another good match. and he is also anxious to prove himself the winner of the match. When he wres- tied Lundin a few weeks ago the big Swede, who outweighs Dwyer by Tt least twenty-five pounds. could i'll no way secure q fall but by using the strangle hold and forcing Dwyer into unconsciousness.N The professor has not forgotten or forgiven that method of winning, and as the strangle hold is not allowed in the coming match there will be something doing for Mr Lundin on Thursday evening. It will be q corking good match.

Waterbury Trounces Meriden in Merry

 The Meriden team came here last night imbued with a desire of winning and with buoyant spirits. But the!r spirits were somewhat dampened with the game, which went against them to the tune of 9 to ,. Ii was Meriden's first appearance here this season and she was given a good reception by the fair crowd which was present All of the Meriden players except Walton are we'll known by the local polo en- thusiasts. Kid Cusick was here with the same old habit of rushing away from his cage and attempting to rush instead of guarding the cage. Water bury is only now rounding into form and henceforth the other teams will have to play their prettieSt to win against them. The local teams work last evening showed great improve ment they connected with passes let ter and their driving was more accll- rate than in previous games. The game was of a spirited nature and during the first two periods it was nip and tuck struggle. Now one team was leading, and another minute it was trailing in the rear. Waterbury's play became faster in the last period and the locals caged five goals, while the visitors shots lodged in the cage FrNT-

Only Three More Games of Import
 ance to be Played.
 Only three more games of import ance remain to be played this season, namely: The West Point-Annapolis game at Philadelphia next Saturday, the Cornell Pennsylvania game at Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day, and the Columbia-Indian game in New York on Thanksgiving Day. Of these the first named will attract the great est interest. but on. form the game be- tween Columbia and inc red men is the most uncertain.- West Point is expected to take the navy's measure in handy style and Cornell is thought to have a cinch with Pennsylvania. The game between the two govern ment schols will probably be witnessed by q crowd second in size only to the Yale-Harvard set-to. West Point is q two to one fayorite. and better, over the middies. In Philadelphia they are resignedly awaiting the slaughter The Quakers having had rest at the seashore should take the field in bet ter form physically than for several weeks. Owing to the poor playing of the Pennsylvaniahs throughout the campaign there is less hurrah about this game than any other big game this year.
 William Lyons of AnSonia and Dr Marggraff of this city have been se 1ected respectively by Company A and the St Thomas Cadets as officials for the game Thanksgiving morning. Ed win Hart will be Company As time keeper Careful preparations are being made to handle the immense multitude which will witness the game. Tlle field will be properly roped off and there will be sufficient police protec- ton to keep the people from crowding onto the field.
 Manager Bradford Webster of the Yale consolidated team has sent word to Manager Hayes that his players are in the pink of condition and it will be a miracle if they do not score at least 15 points against the High school team. He further states that his team has not suffered a defeat this season, an admirable record which few teams possess. But the local players affirm that the Yale team will finish the season with a defeat.

revival The play is much like our own
dramas ON social questions, and the
dramatis personae have typical English
names.
1.-THE Fair Maid of the West" Hey
woods romantic drama, was particular
ly dwelt upon because it is the play
which will be presented by the Yale
Dramatic association on Shakespeare
birthday, April 20. 1t would be dlfiiu-
cult, Professor Phelps said, to find a
more typical Elizabethan drama, hlled
with the glorious abandon Of that age
of war and adventure, when England
arms had made her victorious on land
and sea. The play opens in the seaport
town of Plymouth, and from then on 1t
breathes with the thrilling, adventur-
Gus spirit of the Spanish armada. Inc
heroine, Bess Bridges, dons male attire,
embarks and wins signal victories over
the Spaniards, who are patriotically
subdued in a fashion that reminds us
of their fate in the late war between
the United States and Spain. We can
imagine how these telling scenes must
have made the pit howl with joy, and
sympathy with the spirit of his age
Haywood has won the title Of true
Elizabethan Englishman.

PROFESSOR PHELPS LECTURE

On Thomas Haywood, Author of the
'fFar Maid of the West
Professor William Lyon Phelps deliv-
cred a lecture last evening In North
Sheffield hall, his subject being "Thom-
as Haywood, Dramatist."
Thomas Haywood was one Of the
great playwrights of the Elizabethan
age. As a dramat1st his power was
such that Charles Lamb has called him
"a, prose Shakespeare" his style, how
ever, lacks the true poetic quality, and
though it his great charm and flexibility
it is too loose and careless for the high
est type of poetry.
One reason for Heywoods success as
a. dramatist is to be found in his dia-
logue, which is not strained or remote
and lacks the long stilted passages of
unnatural blank verse to be found In
contemporary plays. Instead, Haywood
uses the short words of ordinary con-
versation, with the brittle, broken style
of verse peculiar to modern playe like
those of 1bsen.
Heywood's power as dramatist is
also shown by his use Of the dramatic
pause. He knew that people while I'M
make long speeches. In this connection
Professor Phelps cited several examples
of dramatic pause used by Shakespeare,
such as the terrible silence of MacDuf
at the news of the murder of his wife
and children. Haywood felt the value
of this impressive silence under emotion,
and used it effectively in his master
piece, "A Woman Killed by Kindness"
Heywoods dramas are. redolent with
the atmosphere of vigorous English out
door life The fresh gales from the
meadows and the sea sweep through
his pages, and he is filled with the pa
triotism of the age of Queen Bess. There
is no sign OF decalence about him, and
his fresh vigor is in strong contrast
with the unwholesome perfumed sweet
ness of poets who were his contempora-
ries.
His pathos is that of human life. In
the woman Killed With Kindness" We
have tragedy of English domestic
life, unromantic, but sincere and power
full in It's effect. Here Haywood has
used the same powerful dramatic mo-
tive for which Hawthorne has shown
his genius in the Scarlet Letter. and
in his other works-that of a sinner
stricken under the consciousness of sin.
The lecturer read the impressive death
bed scene in this play, the effect of
strative Elizabethan audience, may
