EXCITEMENT AT PANAMA

A cablegram to the New York Herald
from Panama, Colombia, yesterday saws:
The publication of news that the United
States government has extended protection
to the city Of Panama and intends to nre-
vent bombardment by force. if necessary.
has caused much excitement here.
Many and varied comments are freely ex-
pressed according to the feelings and sym-
pathies of the people. Some censure the
position Of the United States as of1cious
and not in accord with the spirit of the
treaty OF 1916. This, 1t is said, only de-
mands the protection Of railroad transit in
case Colombia is unable to give security
and does not call for general protection or
for unsolicited intervention in isthmian In

Lese Majestic by a Ntne-fear-OAd BOY
From the London Telegraph

Lese Majestic by q Nlne.A eaE.oAu Ivy
From the London Telegraph
From Berlin correspondent writes:
curious case Of lese majestic, which was
not however. placed in the hands OF the
public prosecutor, has recently resulted IN
the expulsion of one of the boys OF the
Royal Wilhelms Gymnasium in Berlin. A
little fellow, aged nine who bore very
good moral character in the school, al
though he was not what one could, with
the best intentions. call bookworm. took
it into his head one day to declare before
the school fellows Of his class that he much
regretted that the crazy woman who hurled
a hatchet at Kaiser Wilhelm at Breslau
had not succeeded in killing his majesty!
Naturally this shocked the diminutive
scholars Of an institution bearing the name
of the first kaiser of the new German en-
pire; indeed, If such a declaration were to
be taken in earnest 1t would have rightly
shocked anybody. They accordingly sneaked
to the form master. and he felt 1t his duty
to report 1t to the director, or. as we should
call him, the head master. Of the school.
The head master Is very capable old gen.
tleman, pedagogue who enjoys the favor
with decorations. He took the matter so
seriously that he resolved to expel the boy
The little lads father-he has lost his
mother-is a most respectable loyalist. and
there Is nothing Of an incipient anarchist
in his son. Opinions are divided among the
masters of the school as to the wisdom and
justice Of the sentence, and outside peda-
gogic circles most people are indignant at
its severity.

SUIT AGAINST THE CASTELLANES.
Counsel Intermyer Calls the French
Count Hard Names.

From the New York Tribune OF today:
In special term. part ]. Of the supreme
court yesterday Justice Beach heard argu-
ments in the attempt OF Anton Dittmar,
assignee OF an Indebtedness OF S317 900 as
serted TO be due to Asher Wertheimer. an
art dealer of London, from Count Boni de
Castellane and the Countess de Castellane,
to have continued an injunction restraining
the trustees of the estate of Jay Gould
from paying to the Countess de Castellane
any OF the income from the share OF the
estate.
Mr.. Untermyer, in arguing for the mo-
ton, said that the decision on the appli-
cation would probably determine the ac-
ton. the defendant trustees had raised
three technical objections, which, II ruled
in their favor. would prevent the continu-
ance OF the plaintiffs suit. The first was
that the codicil to Jay Gould's will direct
ed that the income from the share of his
estate to which his daughter Anna was en-
titled should be paid to her irrespective of
the control of her husband. and was solely
for her use and benefit. 1t provided fur
Their that no part Of the income should be
liable for any debt incurred by the benefi-
ciary while in the hands of her trustees. If
this provision was upheld no part even of
the surplus income could be devoted to
paying the debts incurred by the Countess
de Castelane. Counsel said that he con-
sidered that it had been well settled by
the courts of this state that no such pro-
vision could be enforced.
The countess. Mr.. Untermyer said. had
been a resident Of Paris since her marriage,
and had not been in this country since her
marriage except when she came here for
the purpose of arranging her affairs. There
fore the summons and complaint in this
suit could not be served upon her
Mr.. Untermyer then took up the allega-
lions of fraud and declared:
'In this transaction Count Castellane
shows himself as mean and thoroughgoing
a scamp can well be conceived. He does
not see fit to give us back our furniture,
which we have expressed our willingness
to take, but sells it. He then has the au-
dacity to say that five pictures are not
from the collections to which they were
alleged to belong when he purchased them
from Mr.. Wertheimer."
Colonel James, In replying to Mr.. Inter
myer. said that the original affldavits on
which the injunction was granted had not
much of what was now presented, and
asked for time to consider. Mr.. Inter
myer replied:
1.-The only difference between the amend
ed complaint and the original Is that, hav-
ing since we brought our action learned
that the Countess de Castellane's debts
amounted to over $4,000, 600. and that she
was insolvent. We ask. that her allowance
