RevOIutionists Said to BE Menacing
Colon and City of Panama.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 31.-The polit-
ical situation on the Isthmus of Panama at
the present moment is as follows: 1t is evil
dent that a revolutionary expedition has
successfully landed in the immediate vicin-
ity of Colon. Rumor has il that a three
masted schooner was seen lying off the
harbor of Colon a week or two ago. This
seems, however. improbable, in view of the
fact that the Colombian converted cruiser
Namouna was known to be in the harbor
previous TO that time. The evidence OF ad-
ditional strength TO the rebel cause having
been received is, however, co~uciusively in
ferred from the recent successful raids that
have been made within the past ten days
at various stations along the railway line.
The principal and almost only sufferers on
such occasions are the Chinese. whose
shops are piilageu of food, clothing. fuel
and such other requisites. LOoting has
occurred at the following stations: En-
peradOr Coward Panarna), and san Pablo,
Bohio and Gatun Coward COlon), the latter
being only about nVe or six miles distant
from that town. On July 20 a woman over
ninety years old was shot dead at BOhio
at night time in the house of Senior Melen-
DEE, formerly project OF Colon. The govern
ment officials at San Pablo have been
kidnapped. Small forces consisting OF from
thirty to fifty members have been sent from
Panama to garrison these points.
On July - the lfC0DS station at Galun.
having compelled. it is reported, some ia
maicans TO row them up the river. about
six boats, containing about fifty men. set
out In search OF the rebels, but they had
not gone very far when a brisk rife fire
was opened on the boat in the rear, which.
with difficulty, succeeded In returning TO
Galun with one man killed and two wound
ed on board. This incident has naturally
created considerable sensation. more espe-
cially as IL is not yet known what II the
fate OF the other boats or the number OF
rebels attacking them. These raids are evil
denly made with the hope OF weakening the
forces concentrated at Panama, which. IL is
believed, number 500 or 800 men. This being
the situation, the government Is naturally
DESTROYS of bringing in achievements from
Cartagena and other points.
The Colombian cruiser Namouna, now at
Colon, has proved up to now TO be entirely
useless for war purposes. Nearly the entire
crew (the officers being British and the rest
Itslians), have refused TO navigate the
ship. now that guns are being mounted on
her, and have rendered their designations.
Efforts are now being made 10 secure a
crew for the Namouna. and other steamers
will be chartered by the government II pro-

REBELS STOP A TRAIN
CAPTURE SEVERAL COLOMBIAN Of
FICIALs, BUT DO NO LOOTING. f
interference with Traffic Across the
That May Lead TO Warm
ing from Uncle Sam.

WASHINGTON. Aug. e.-Consul Gudger.
at Panama, to-day cabled the State De-
partment the following: Liberals detained
for one hour passenger train at Matachin
this morning; captured one government Of
fetal; no looting; 10 damages
The dispatch of Consul Gudger may
prove of some Importance in determining
the course of the United States toward the
Colombian uprising, as Matachin, the point
mentioned where the revolutionists stopped
a train. is directly on the line of the Pana-
ma Railway and the proposed route of the
canal. 1t is the first official indication that
there is an interruption of the traffic across
the isthmus The United States is bound by
treaty to keep this traffic open to the
world. Whether any positive steps will be
taken depends largely upon the extent to
which the revolutionists are able TO inter-
fere with the transit across the istnmus.
AS Mir. Gudger's dispatch indicates that
the delay was only one hour, and, more
over. that no danger and no footing oc-
CURED, it is hardly likely this would be
such an interference with free transit as to
call for energetic steps by this government.
1t is an indication TO officials. however. of
the holiness of the revolutionary element,
and of their strength along this vital artery
OF commerce across the sthmus.
The dispatch was not communicated to
the Navy Department and there appears TO
be no movement thus rar TO dispatch an
American ship 70 that quarter. It is stated
officially ia this connection that no requests
have been received for the protection OF
American interests, and, moreover, such in
formation as reached the State Depart
ment prior TO MIR. Gudger's dispatch of to-
day related 10 trouble at remote points in the
interior. where there are no American in
terests requiring protection. Except TO pro
tect American interests, il is not usual for
the State Department TO take cognizance
of revolutionary movements. In case OF
actual wal between Colombia and Veue-
zuela the usual declaration OF neutrality
would be issued when this government
war. SO long as the affair in Colombia OIL
Venezuela pdrtakes of the character Of a
revolution, no official action will be called
for beyond d careful outlook for any Amer
lean interests which may become imneriled

Mineral Treasures in Palestine.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.-Ernest L. Har-
ris. United States consular agent at Eiben-
stock, has Informed the State Department
that valuable mineral treasures have re-
Gently been discovered in Palestine, and
that il is safe to say the industrial awak-
ening of the Holy Land is no longer a
dream. He says it is true that the greater
part Of the once flourishing country is a
barren desert. the lines of communication
are miserable and traffic is unsafe aside
from the one railroad from Jaffa to Jerusa-
lem. MIR. Harris says that the newly dis
covered mineral deposits lie on both sioes
Of the Jordan and the Dead sea. The salt
deposits OF the Dead sea also could be de-
yeloped into an industry.
The consul considers phosphate the most
important of all deposits, and he says the
immense fields of that mineral TO the east
and west of the Jordan need only better
means of traffic and communication in or
der to insure their development. This. il
would seem. is not far distant. as the
Turkish government is planning a con-
tinuation of the Yafa-Jerusalem Railway
and steamboats, are already plying the
Dead sea.
