THE REVOLUTION IN COLOMBIA.

Colon, Colombia, Nov. 23.-It is re-
ported that the government has adj
dressed communication to the Uni
ted States consul setting forth that
it cannot guarantee protection for
isthmian transit. Two sailing boats,
having seventy-five soldiers on board,
which left Panama with General AL
ban. returned to that place at p m.
yesterday and General Alban and fifty
soldiers arrived there on board the
gunboat Boyaca at z p. m. The Lib
erals here assert that General Loren
20 attacked General Tiban's force
after it had landed at Chame near
Chorrera, and defeated it, only Cen
eral Alban and few of his troops
escaping. 1t is also claimed by the
Liberals that the other division of
General Adams army was routed
and General Lugo, with 400 of AL
bans troops, Joined the Liberal
ranks. The Liberals at Colon are
jubilant and assert that they expect
General Lugon to arrive at Colon
momentarily. Further details of the
latter's decisive fighting are expect
ed at Panam at any moment. Senior
Espriella, counsel for the Panama
railway, who was appointed provis-
ional project by the Liberals yes
terday, has declined the office, and
DR.. Campillo has been appointed pre-
feet in his place. Senior Salas has
accepted the appointment as mayor,
which was offered to DR.. Va1verde.

ILl-FEELING INTENSIFIEs'
German Public Is Bitter Against,
Great Britain.

London, Nov. 22-The fact that the
nti-Chamberlain agitation in Ger
many has at last extracted a SEMI
official expression of approval from
the North German Gazette has had
the effect of convincing the British
press that the situation is becoming
serious. Heretofore there has been
disposition to disregard and belittle
the influence of the agitation. Now
the papers are taking trouble to ex-
plain that Mr.. Chamberlain's words
were not intended to insult or offend
Germany.
THE temper of the German public
is dangerous" says the Morning Post,
and it behooves our people to be on
their guard. The Germans appear to
regard Great Britain as covetous, ra-
pacious and barbarous. From that
belief to the corollary that barbar-
Gus nation ought to be suppressed 10
short and easy step"
The Daily News remarks:
"Nlr. Chamberlain, as the French
say, costs dear The new imperial
ism which was to strengthen cur po-
sition in the world has left us with
ouJ TREND. America cannot supply
what we have lost i'll Europe, for the
German, Dutch and Irish elements in
that great community are today
more hostile than they were during
the Venezuela trouble.''
The Daily Chronicle says:
"Unless the authorities restrain the
unlicensed abuse of England in the
German press, we fail to see how this
country can much longer ignore these
accumulated insults"
All the papers publish long specials
from Berlin describing the public feel
ing and agreeing that the article in
the North German Gazette is proof
that the German government is alto
gether powerless to stem the agita-
ton, which is intended, if possible, to
force Count Won Buelow into some
anti-British pronouncement.

CHAMBERLAIN Is BLAMED.
Most Cordially Hated of All British
Statesmen.

| London, Nov. 25.-Once more has
Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial sec
rotary, proved his right to the title
to be the most thoroughly hated
British statesman. The storm now
raging in Germany over his animad-
version on the Prussian army has had
n powerful reaction in Great Britain,
where, regardless of party ties, Mr..
Chamberlain has been severely criti-
cised for "uselessly putting his foot
into it,"
On all sides can be heard irritated
expressions of opinion by English
business men and politicians, who,
while they, perhaps, believe Mr..
Chamberlain was correct in what he
said, denounce the uttering of such
sentiments. 1t is recalled that Mr..
Chamberlain's utterances regarding
the car and the Anglo-American-
German alliance have been the cause
of the only serious outbreaks of an
ti-British feeling on the continent in
recent times.
1t is no eNaggeration to say that
the financial world of England would
be delighted to see Mr. Chamberlain
muzzled when intending to speak IN
England's foreign relations.
AS might be expected, Mr. Cham
berlain himself takes the whole af-
fair with his usual cynical ;ndiffer-
ence. He is staying quietly at Birm-
ingham and is not exhibiting
any particular interest in the
storm which he has raised.
AT the colonial Office a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press
was informed that Mr.. Chamberlain
does not desire to enter into any
controversy and stands by what he
said. If the German papers continue
to, misrepresent him (this is Mr..
Chamberlain's view, why it cannot
be helped.
As at the other government de-
partments the belief exists at the
colonial office that the whole agita-
ton will die natural death and that
everything will come out all right.
There is no doubt, however, that by
this latest outbreak Mr.. Chamber
lain has seriously. perhaps irrepar-
ably, damaged his reputation with
the better classes in England.

Turkey In Financial Straits.

Constantinople, Nov. 25.-Never has
the Turkish government been in such
financial straits as at the present
time. 1t is impossible to see how the
expenses OF the Ramazan and Barr
am, due in December and January
and involving 100000 pounds sterling,
can be met. The Ottoman bank ut
terly refuses to make any more adj
vances and the penury is so acute
that even the troops in many of the
Provinces are unpaid. The conse.
quence is that there have been mu-
TIMES in several districts. Hostile
demonstrations have recently here
only been quieted by the authorities
hastily scraping together a few thou
sand piastres as something on ac-
count. The discomfort in the army
forms the real danger of the situa-
ton

MERELY SIGN OF DEFIANCE.
Boer Colonel Will Not Claim Scat in the
English Parliament.

London, Nov. 25.-nhe Irish nation
Alists disclaim any intention of ex-
posing Col. Arthur Lynch to arrest
and trial for treason by insisting on
his attendance at Westminster. They
have elected the Boer warrior as
defiant method of making themselves
as disagreeable as possible, and, in
cidentally, have dispatched member
of ministry responsible for the
policy of killing Off home rule by
kindness, for Horace Plunkett will be
forced to resign after his second de-
feat.
The Irish party has scored twice,
from it's own point of view, and is
satisfied. 1t will not risk a govern
ment commensurate in the arrest of
Lynch, nor is it possible to smuggle
him into the house of commons and
enable him to take the oath without
observation.

FEDERAL INJUNCTION is DISSOLVED

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 23.--The APP

Traction company for an injunction

cation from assessing the capital
stock of those companies for 1900

Colon, Colombia, Nov. 25.-Many
versions are current, all based in IA
vor of the liberals regarding the
whereabouts and fate of General AL

on the 18th. The following is the
most plausible:
Arriving off Perequite, distant
about thirty miles from Panama and
ten miles beyond Chorrera, General

General Alban undertook no easy
task when he attempted to land
troops in the vicinity of Chorrera.
The generals return to Panama was
looked forward to with great hopes,
but when he returned in the manner
in which he did many people were
discouraged and downcast, which
leads to the belief that the gravity
of the situation is recognized.

POSTPONE BOMBARDMEN1
English and American Vessels al
Colon Are So Notified.

Colon, Colombia, Nov. 26-As an
exchange of notes between the United
States gunboat Machias and the Gen.
eral Pinzon Ignacio, commanding the
Columbian gunboat Pinzon, which has
600 men on board, the latter officially
notified the American, British and
French warships now in the harbor
that he intended to lombard Colon
at noon yesterday.
The various consuls notified their
respective fellow citizens that refuge
may be had on board the warships.
But at a conference held at one
o'clock yesterday morning on board
the British cruiser Tribune, at which
General Ignacio Feliacio, Senior de la
Rost, secretary of General Diaz, and
the commanders of the foreign war
ships were present, the general
agreed, at the request of the naval
commanders and on the ground OF
humanity, having in view the large
foreign population of Colon, not to
land troops here OR to open fire on
the town before six o'clock Friday
evening.
The Colombian gunboat General
Pinzon is badly off for provisions and
the commanders of all the warships
agreed to supply her with the neces-
sary stores. The gunboat has not
yet returned to Colon and her where
abouts is unknown.
Breastworks are being erected in
the public thoroughfares of Panama.
The townspeople in the vicinity are
hastily removing to safer places. All
persons known to the liberals are
arrested on sight.
Washington, Nov. 26.-It is pretty
we'll understood here that there is
to be no bombardment of Colon by
either side. While Commander Nc
Crea was given wide discretionary
power and nothing was said to him
about stopping the bombardment di-
rectly, nevertheless the state depart
ment established precedent in these
matters last year when it instructed
Mr.. Gudger to warn some insurgents
at Panama that they would not be
allowed to lombard that port.
If the government troops on the
Pinzon should persist in their pur-
pose, it is said that the commanders
of the different warships at Colon
would require that ample time be al
lowed for the withdrawal from the
town of all foreigners, and the at
lacking force, to escape restraint,
would be obliged to direct their bonn
bardment with such rare precision
as to destroy the insurgent defenses
without harming the railroad prop
erty, and even without endangering
the passage of trains, conditions
probably not to be met.
The secretary of the navy has ca
bled Captain Perry of the Iowa to
assume full command of all the Uni
ted States naval forces on both sides
of the isthmus, in order to insure
harmonious operations. Consul Gen
eral Gudger's last message was as
follows:
Our troops have arrived at Ha-
tachin, one-half of the way across
the isthmus. No obstruction and CO.
lombian government seemed to be
victorious over the insurgents
