follows: Two-ffths to Mr. II Theodore

WHY SALE WAS MADE.
Colonel Cowardin died a year ago 1ost
July. and Mrs Cowardin wished to sell
out her interest in the company. There
had always been, however, an under
standing or agreement between the Co
wardn and Ellyson families that the one
should not sell unless the other was will
ing to dispose Of it's holdings. Finally
the price offered was as satisfactory to
the Ellysons as to Mrs. Cowardin; and
Mr.. Rankin bought the entire property.
Besides the well known newspaper men
now connected with the Dispatch, some
of whom have been with it for thirty
years. the late Major Baker P Lee,
Henry c. Tinsley and other noted writer's
have filed positions on its staff.

WIDE DISCRETIONARY POWERS.
(By Associated Press.1

WASHINGTON, y. c., Nov. .25-It is
pretty well understood here that there
is to be no bonoardn,ent Of Colon by
either side. While Commander McCrea
was given wide discretionary power and
nothing was said to him about stopping
the. bombardment directly nevertheless
the State Department established a r,e-
cedert 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
that the commanders Of the various war
ships at Colon would require that ample
time be allowed for the Withdrawal from
the town of all of the foreigners, and that

would be obliged to direct their Dom

STILL UNSETTLED.
Later advices. while showing tlreesitua-
ton on the Isthmus to be still unsettled,
contain the Information that free transit
by way Of the railroad has been rc-estab-
lished. These advices came in g; dispatch
received by Secretary Long from Cap
tain Perry, of the Iowa, who had made
a trip across the Isthmus from Panama
to Colon, from which place he sent a
telegram, an extract Of which the sec
retary made public, as follows:
Captain Perry reports that free, transit
across the 1sthmus is restored and that
he returns to Panama this evening. The
captain will leave a, guard OH each pas
senger train for the present.
The purpose of the guard presumably
is to prevent interruption to the free. pas
age Of trains by insurgents congregated
along the line of the road.
Mr.. nHerran, the charge of the Colombian
Legation, is. very well satisfied with the
tenor of the advices which have come
to hand to-day from Acting Governor
Arizona. of Panama, who reported that
the rebel army had been defeated at
Culebra and Emperaror. General Alban
had now marched on Colon His theory
is that General -Alban completely dis
lodged the rebel force which had rem
dezvoused at Chorrera, from which place
Mr.. Herran believes they retreated to

took stand. Their defeat at these places
