To Proceed Mt Once From Puget

Instructions-Anxie of CONNER
ciaI Interests the Isthmus.

Acting Secretary Hackett yesterday aft
ernoon. issued an order directing that in
structions be sent at once to Admiral
Casey, in command of the Asiatic Sta
ton. TO proceed Immediately with the bat
tleship Wisconsin from Puget Sound to
San Francisco. and there hold himself in
readiness to proceed to Panama if occa-
sion demands the presence of warshlp
there. 1t is possible that he may then
be instructed to proceed direct to the
isthmus for the purpose of protecting
American interests and ensurlng free
transit across the neck of land. The de-
partment desires to have warship some
what nearer to the scene of the Colom-
bian trouble than any OF them are at
present in case the presence of vessel
becomes imperative and for this reason
If the situation continues threatening. the
Wisconsin will be ordered, upon reaching
San Francisco, to proceed still farther
SOUTH
This action was taken yesterday pri-
maIiIy upon the suggestion contained IN
Communication received at the state
Department from ]. Edward Simmons
the President of the Panama Railroad.
TO the effect that waTship be sent TO
Panama. Mr.. Simmons also requested
that warship or ships be sent to Colon
His letter, which was written from New
York. was evidently sent before he was
advised that vessel had been ordered
10 that port Acting Secretary Adee yes
terclay informed Mr.. Simmons otiiclaiIy
that the Machias had been given orders to
proceed southwark and that her destind-
ton was Colon.
MIR. Simmons communication s,ated
that he was apprehensive of trouble on
the isthmus and interference with Ameri-
can inter ests, as a result of the revolu-
tionary uprising in Colombia. He CON
firmed the report of Consul Gudger that
a train had been held up on the Panama
road ana several Government officials
captured. His reports have been re-
ceived from the railroads s agents and Of
ficers in Colombia. He suggested also
that a warship be sent to Panama, which
is on the west side of the isthmus. He
did not state that American property was
in jeopardy, but that he is apprehensive
of trouble.
The Iowa and the Wisconsin are both
at present in Puget Sound, and with the
exception Of the Alert, training ship,
and the Ranger, survey boat, neither
of which is suitable for the purpose,
these two battleships are the only vessels
which can be sent to Panama from the
Pacific side. San Francisco is 3.1oo miles
from Panama, and ii will therefore be
nearly If not quite two weeks before the
Wisconsin could reach the isthmns. The
Machias left Boston yesterday for Hamp
ton Roads. She will there receive her in
structicns TO proceed to Colon.
The State Department yesterday had no
cabegrams or mail adyices from either
Colombia or Venezuela.

o'clock weighed anchor and steamed down
the harbor on the run to Hampton Roads.

The coal and supplies which the ship

Lieutenant Commander Sargent said this

born out Of a grand idea. Like Greek
art, It sprang out OF a conception OF
brotherhood and unity fostered by the
city.
II had an audaclty which could only
be won by audaeious struggles and vic
tories; 1t had that expression Of vigor.
because vigor permeated all the life Of
the city. A cathedral or a communal
house symbolized the grandeur Of an
organism Of which every mason and

medieval building appears not as
solitary effort to which thousands OF
slaves would have contributed the
share assigned them by one mans
imagination; all the city contributed

The customer looked puzzled. lie
thought he must be dreaming. He had
never heard a merchant talk this way
before about his own goods.

asked the customer, after he had recov-
cred from his astonishment.
"Baggs at the knees, sleeves are too
long. legs are too short. too tight under
the arms, TOO loose over the shoulders

The customer edged away, beginning
to be thoroughly frightened. But he
finally caught his breath long enough to
gasp:
DO you think the suit is cheapg
Awful high price for such poor
goods" said the dealer.
The customer would have tainted
with fear; but just here the keeper of
the insane asylum came in and led the
dealer back to the institution from
which he had escaped.

trains have adopted old gold. blue,

Very expensive plushes are used by
some companies" remarked a railroad
man; "stuff worth no less than SO or S4

partly for luxuriousness, but also be-
