Defeated on the Field of
Buena Vista.

(By the Associated Press.)

Colon, Colombia, Nov. 2S.-The Gov
ernment forces, three hundred strong, un-
der General Alban, On reappearing at
BueEa Vista Wednesday afternoon opened
fire on the Liberal forces under General
Barrera. The latter were not entrenched,
but having the choice of the ground oc-
cupied the top of small hill at Buena
Vista. The lighting which was of the
most savage nature, lasted until $3.50 p.
m, without stopping when the Govern
ment forces, owing to the great loss they
had sustained, were compelled to give
way and retreated toward Frijolos. Over
u hundred men were killed or wounded,
the bodies lying all along the railroad
A train on reaching Buena Vista was
unable to pass, owing TO pile of corpses
blocking its passage. About twenty
wounded men were taken to Panama on
the evening train. The Liberal loss was
again insignificant 1t is said to be less
than dozen men.
The Liberals at Colon are once more
jubilant owing to the fact that General
Adams forward march has been stopped
coupled with reasonable hopes that Gen
eral Domingo Diaz, with the reinforce
ments of Liberals from Chorrera will
soon arrive on the scene of action and
attack General Alban in the rear. This
has changed the aspect of affairs at
Panama Reinforcements of Government
troops in small patches have been joining
General Alban continually.
The leading merchants of Colon called
on the United States and British consuls
Tuesday TO ascertain what steps were to
be taken to protect the town from possi-
bic violence should the state of affairs
become more critical. They were assured
that marines from the warships would, in
case of necessity, be landed to protect
life and property.

ing game, the last OF the season, was
defeated by Clemson College of South

worse Louis Graves, Cardinals S star quar-

Carolina won the toss and Douthit sent
the oval far into Cardinals territory and
the struggle was ON. After few rushes
Clemson obtained the ball and by double
and triple passes, the quarter back trick
and fake kicks, pushed the oval three
times over Cardinals S goal.
Here Carolina awoke to the realization
of her danger and by splendid exhibition

MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS.
Presented in Honor of Late President
 Mckinley.


 Mckinley.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Not in many years have the members of the house listened with such rapt attention 10 the annual message of q president of the United States as they did yester- day to the reading of the first message of President Roosevelt. Every word ysas followed intently from the an- nouncement of the tragic death of President Mckinley in the opening sen- tence to the expression of the closing wish that our relations with the world would continue peaceful. The reading occupied two hours, but not over q dozen members left their seats until it was concluded. Several times there was applause, and at the conclusion there was an enthusiastic demonstra- ton on the Republican side.
 On motion of Mr. Grosyenor of Ohio that portion of the message relating to the death of the late president was referred to q committee to consist of one member from each state to join q similar committee of the senate to consider and report by what token of respect and affection it may be proper for congress to express the deep sensi bility of the nation to the tragic death of the late president. The speaker ap- pointed committee, headed by Mir. Grosvenor, and then as a further mark of respect the house adjourned.
 It was not until the session of the house closed that the weary clerks were able to catch up with Mondays deiuge of bills and begin sorting the further deluge of yesterday.
 The presidents annual message to congress went in this year for the first time in print. The two copies for the two houses were printed on paper of the same size as that which was used heretofore for the written copies, though the paper is heavy white in- stead of the blue tint which has been in use. Each copy was richly bound in brown morocco, with stiff covers, with simple gold border and lettering, the words on the front being, Mes sage of the President of the United States:
 The senate listened to the first mes sage of President Roosevelt and adopt ed q resolution directing the appoint ment of q committee to cooperate with q like committee from the house to con- slider by what token of respect and af- lection congress might express the sor- row of the nation upon the tragic death of the late President Mckinley. The message was delivered soon after the senate met. The reading occupied nearly two and half hours and was listened to with marked respect by the senators. The first portion. dealing with the Buffalo tragedy, excited the most profound interest in the senate.
 At the conclusion of the reading of the message Mir. Foraker, senior sena- tor from Ohio. presented the Mckinley resolution. and as further mark of respect the senate adjourned.
