PANAMA IS UNSETTLED.
Insurgents Believed to Be Preparing
 e Combined Attack.

Colon, Sept. 26.-Panama for week or more has been terribly unsettled, owing
 to the apparently well founded reports
 brought by incoming steamers and re-
 ceived from other sources which assert that an expedition numbering between 1o0
 and 200 men, under General Domingo
 Diaz which sailed from Corinto, Nica-
 ragua, two weeks ago, effected safe
 landing at a place called Chame, about
 fifty miles south of Panama.
 Chame offers splendid natural facilities
 for resisting attack and the expedition
 is said to be well armed and equipped
 and to be in possession of modern guns.
 A noteworthy feature of the present. sls- nation is the fact that the Colombian
 rebels under General Patlno who a month ago, daily and nightly pillaged most of the defenceless railroad stations. nave
 posed that the troops under Victorian Lorenzo, who were recently in the vt- cinity of Panama, have already effected a
 junction with Patino's troops and are TOW near Chorrera, only one days jour- ney from Panama. Probably they are

 The State of Antioquin, always conger- vative and loyal, has offered to supply l7,000 men in case of emergency. Other States will doubtless follow this example.

CONSCIENCE MONEY RECEIVED.
Large Amount Sent to Secretary
 Gage.

Washington, Sept. 2e.-Secretary Gage today received in an envelope postmarked New York, September 25, 1901, $6,150 in bills of denominations ranging from $50 to $500
 This large sum of money was accom- panied only by the following statement:
 After much thought I have been con- vinced that duties were not fully paid as desired, the difference estimated at about 2 per cent. The wish now is to rectify what was done some years ago and amount is sent which it is felt must be paid to the United States treasury to dis charge those duties and do the right. Above has been great grief"
 No name was signed to this communica- tion.
 'There are others" said Secretary Gage, ''who would no doubt find 1t morally healthful to follow this contri- utor's example. A friend of mine re gently landed from trip abroad said I paid a thousand dollars duty on my goods 1 never paid so much before. This time 1t was an honest count with ne. 1t cost money, but l feel a good deal more respectable,'

PRISONER GOES TO AUBURN.
Greatest Precaution Taken to In-
 sure Safety of Czolgosz.

ooAS 0dlcLy OL OZolHOSZ.
 Isufa,n BuffalO, Sept 2sMczolgSss the doomed taken from Buffalo to Auburn States prison tonight to await death by electro cution during the week commencing Monday, October &; Sheriff Caldwell and cial car attached to the second section of train No. IF, which was due to leave at s:3o D. m. The train left the New York Central station over that road at 10:es D. m., and the railroad officials said that an effort would be made to reach Au- burn at 2;l2 o'clock which is schedule time.
 Czolgosz was "sneaked" out the back entrance of the Erie county jail sur rounded by the seventeen men and was hustled into the special ear which had be en backed down on the Terrace tracks. a few rods in the rear of the jail. few minutes before. The jail was left few minutes before 9 o'clock but a slow run was made to the Union station. Sheriff Caldwell arranged for the departure and his movements were kept so secret and so cleverlv managed that no one but the guards and the railroad men knew that the assassin was being smuggled out of the jail.
 sheriff Caldwell had given orders to his most trustworthy deputies to appear singly at the jail at different hours dur ing the evening and he also made ar engagements with Superintendent Brad field of the New York Central to have an engine and special car on Terrace tracks at Church Street at 9:25 o'clock. As soon as the car stopped, but a few rods from the rear entrance to the jail Czol- gosz appeared handcuffed to Jailer Mitchell and surrounded by the sheriff and his deputies and Chief McMaster of the Auburn police department
 The car containing the murderer was attached to the second section of the train. The news that a car containing the murderer was attached to the train was spread quickly and all the railroad men in the station left their work to chamber upon the platforms and get a look at the assassin. At 10:o6 the train pulled out At Rochester the car will be coupled to a train running from there to Auburn, which had ordered to wait the arrival of this train.
 Just before the train pulled out a rep resentative of the Associated Press saw Czolgosz seated easily in a seat and smoking cigar In the seat with the prisoner was Jailer Mitchell and in the opposite seat, facing them were the keeper of the penitentiary and Deputy Sheriff Sloan, the oldest and most ex- perieneed deputy sheriff in the county. The other guards were seated in front and back of him and on. the other side of the car, directly opposite his seat.
 These precautions were taken because the authorities received word from some source today that the sheriff might en- counter considerable difficulty In getting the prisoner to Auburn. & Just what sort of trouble was feared could not be learn ed, but great care was taken that no advance news of the departure of the train was telegraphed along the line.
