Declares San Salvador Furnished Aid
to the Inaur&ents.

A dispatch from Colon. Colombia, yester-
day says: General Carlos Alban, governor of
Panama and military commander or this
district, in referring today to his statement
of yesterday to the effect that President
Regalado of Salvador gave the steamer Ibis
to the Colombian revolutionists and sup
piled them with arms and ammunition, said
that when he last heard Of the Ibis she
was alongside a steamer in Nicaragua, pass
ing over arms and ammunition which had
been brought down from San Francisco by
the Chilean steamer Loa-
General Alban is getting ready to attack
the insurgents at Tumaco, on the Pacific
coast of Colombia He has made extensive
preparations to this end.
General Alban confirmed the reports of
the purchase by Colombia OF the Chilean
cruiser Presidente Pinto.
The Colombian gunboat General Pinzon
returned here this morning from cruise
along the coast. After disembarAng the
troops she carried at Cocle she proceeded
in the opposite direction toward Porto
Bello, Playa Dana and Nombre De Dios.
At the last-named point she embarked
thirty-f1ve government soldiers, as wen as
tho soldiers who were wounded in the en-
gagement there last week between the con-
servative and liberal forces. These wound
ed have now been landed at Colon. No
government troops remain at Nombre de
Dios. Wherever the Pinzon touched along
the coast she found large numbers Of white
flags flying.
The government troops who fought in the
Nombre de Dios engagement last Friday
and who were recruited in the Colombian
provinces Of Antioquia are receiving praise
for their bravery. Even small boys shoul-
dered guns and went into battle after hav-
ing performed a wonderful and fatiguing
march across the country.
The steamer Labrador of the Compagnie
Generate Trans-AtlantiQue. which has Just
arrived here from Venezuelan and Colom-
bian ports, her last stopping place being
Savanilla, brings no news Of the reported
capture Of the seaport of Rio Hacha in Co
lomhia by General Tribe Tribe.

EXPECTS CONGRESS TO PAY.
Physician Who Attended President
Mckinley Makes Statement.

Physician Who Attended President
Mckinley Makes Statement.
In view Of the wide discussion incidental
to the question Of who should pay the
physicians who attended President McKin-
ley, Dr. Matthew d. Mann has consented
to make statement setting forth the atti-
tude Of himself and his associates:
DR.. Mann, in reply to questions, said:
I'VE feel that we operated on the Presi-
dent Of the United States; that we operated
for the American people. with a view to
saving their President for them; that we
were called, not by the family Of President
Mckinley, but by the authorities, the cab
met, and others, to take charge of the Pres
ident, and we feel, therefore, that we have
a right to look to Congress and the nation
for our remuneration. We took a tremen-
dous responsibility, because we took in our
hands the life OF the most prominent man
in the world; and we feel that in taking
such a responsibility We ran an immense
risk. Had the autopsy showed that We had
made any serious mistake We would have
received unlimited condeTnnation-we might
even have been ruined professionally.
From all these facts we feel that we
should not be called upon to render bills to
the family. Any bill which we might rem
der to the late Presidents estate would be
larger than Mrs. Mckinley ought to be
called upon to pay.
"If we should render such a bill she
could properly pay we should feel that we
would be very imperfectly remunerated.
We feel, therefore. that Congress should
take up the matter and make an appropria-
ton such as it may see fit and save US from
becoming the objects Of criticism by send
ing in bill. For, no matter what bill we
might send In. we would receive a certain
amount Of abuse. We feel also that the
dignity of the medical profession demands
that Congress should pay this bill, and that
the services should be handsomely reward
ed. The medical profession all over the
world Is waiting with great interest to see
how this affair will turn out and we do not
propose to do anything, IL we can avoid 1t.
which will lay us open to criticism"

Two Other Cases.
VENEZUELA WILL DEFY GERMANY.
Castro Will Resist the FOrcible Coll
lection of Claims.


dispatch from Willemstad, Island OF
Curacao, yesterday says: LIE Republica.
the Venezuelan official organ at Caracas,
published an editorial yesterday ending an
follows:
'.If the German government is Informed
that the presence Of a few warships will
suffice to effect an arrangement Of her out
standing claims, 1t has been deceived. Ven-
ezuela is conscious that she is An independ-
ent nation, the equal OF the other powers.
and she is determined to defend that inde-
pendence and equality. She is desirous OF
peace; but II necessary, she can cause hurt
to her enemies and exercises terrible re-
prisals. Gen. Castro Is determined on this.
He VIII in no case suffer Venezuela to be
Inundated or allow her rights to be des-
pissed" A
Other Venezuelan papers comment on the
situation In a similar ttrain.
There is excitement at Caracas over the
military scandals involving Gems Davfla
and Sanchex. After his appointment an
military commandant at Caracas. Davile

has now been deprived Of his command.

tions which were substantially abandoned
by the judge advocate, as will appear
from the argument in the case.
%. That the whole proceedings show
that the majority of the court, in the opin-
ion an6 report of facts rendered, have
selected the testimony of a few hostile
witnesses, and upon that testimony have
based the said opinion and report of facts,
discarding all the other testimony in the
case without making the slightest refer
ence to 1t, as they were directed by the
precept to do.
80. The applicant. besides the reasons
herein given, hopes to be able during the
further investigation of this inquiry to ad-
duce other serious and important reasons
why the majority opinion of the court
should not be approved.
81. The applicant is prepared to show
that the whole proceedings upon the part
of the majority of the court have been en-
tirely irregular; that his rights have been
prejudiced and ignored; that his testimony
in many more particulars than have been
herein cited has not been considered. and
that the evidence is absolutely insufficient
to sustain the opinion which has been rem
dered by the majority of the court. That
grave injustice has been committed,
which would become irrepar rabIe and he
pcrpetuated unless this opinion Of the ma
Jority of the court should be disapproved.
Wishes Approval Withheld.
Wherefore the SAID applicant most re-
ion of the majority of said court Of in
quiry be withheld and that said opinion be
disapproved and that he may be afforded
the opportunity to have the testimony of
record of himself and his witnesses prop
erly considered and passed upon, and that
the proceedings be remitted to the court
for that purpose, and that he be given
such other and further relief as he Is en-
titled to in the premises.

right Of the commission to grant to the
pueblos commons from the public lands
That the commission be authorized to con-
tinue the present regulations of the cutting
of timber. with such notifications as ex-
perience may show to be wise.
That the commission be authorized to

semblance to the United States mining

That the commission receive special au-
thcrity to issue charters to commercial rail-
roads. with power to make donations of
lands, or guarantee the interest on the In
vestments, or both such grants to be sub
ject to the approval Of the President of the
United States. The railways most impera-
lively needed are those which will open up
the interior of the great islands Of Luzon
and Mindanao, and thereby make possible
the development OF their mineral, timber
and agricultural wealth. 1t Is estimated
that one thousand miles Of railway would
be sufficient for the present in Luzon, and
about five hundred miles in Mindanao. In
view of the abuses VIII ch might arise In
the grant of public lands to railways. it is
recommended that government aid take the
form of guaranteeing low rate of interest
upoE the investment of private capital in
railway construction. This, 1t is argued,
would present to those seeking perma-
nen. and safe investment an attractive op-
portun:ty for obtaining it, and would prob
ably produce competition between capital
lists for the construction OF the roads on
the terms most favorable to the govern
ment. with incidental power to control rates
and fix routes In a manner most conducive
to the rapid development of the Islands.

sular government would become responsible

the conduct of Commodore Schley in con-
