McKeesport, Pa, April 15.-Half
the 800 employees Of the Deweese wood

Petking, April 15.-KOmours Yuraro,

pointed out to the Chinese plenipoten-

Havana. April 15.-At the opening
of Saturdays secret session of the
constitutional convention, Senior Nunez
asked that the convention either reject
or accept the Platt amendment as the
resolution adopted Friday was not i
formal declaration and was mislead-
ing. The conservatives considered
that the resolution practically rejected
the amendment. while the radicals and
the radical press maintained that it
did not. SenOr NuneZ therefore asked
that a yea and nay vote be taken. This
was opposed by the radicals, who
have always avoided taking decided
stand.
Convention Neither Fish Nor Flesh.
The conservatives were pleased at
the point and as Il split was threaten
ed among the radicals, Il compromise
was offered and agreed to, by the
terms of which resolution was
adopted that the convention should
not express itself either for or against
the amendment, and that a commits
sion be sent to Washington to reach
the best possible agreement with the
president. The commission will not
be authorized to settle definitely the
question of the relations between the

ATTITUDE OF TRIPLE ALLIANCE
Making No Concerted Demonstration
in South American Waters.

BERLIN, Nov. 25.-The Foreign Office
to-day declared the announcement to the
effect that the nations party to the
triple alliance were making a concerted
demonstration in South. American waters
to be false. The informant said there
had been discussion by Germany,
Austria and Italy rega riding common ac-
tion in this direction. He admitted that
each country was sending warships to
South American waters, but said they
were acting entirely Independently of one
another and were merely protecting the
property rights and ives Of their sub
jects.
1t was further explained that Wash
ington was fully informed concerning the
Infections of Germany in this regard. The
movements of German vessels in South
American waters have been fully report
ed as well as the vessels destined to gu
thither. No other ships have been sent to
South America.
German officials in Berlin are of the
opinion that the presence in the Carib-
bean Sea of warships of the powers conf
posing the triple alliance will have the
desired effect. without making necessary
a recourse to action.

MARINES ON EACH TRAIN.
Captain Perry Reports That Transit
Is Fully Restored.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Late advices
from Colombia, while showing the situa-
ton on the isthmus to be still unsettled,
contain the information that free transit
by the railroad has been re-established.
These advices came in a dispatch received
by Secretary Long from Captain Perry OF
the Iowa. who had made a trip across the
isthmus from Panama to Colon. from
which place he sent telegram an extract
from which the Secretary made public as
follows:
Perry reports that free transit across
the isthmus is restored and he returns to
Panama this afternoon. The captain will
leave a guard on each passenger train for
the present"
to prevent interruption to the free passage
of trains by insurgents congregated along
the line of the road.
Mr. Herran, the charge of the. Colom-
bian legation, is very well satisfied with
the tenor of the adviceS which have come
to hand to-day from Acting Governor Ar
jona of Panama, who reported that the
rebel army having been defeated at Cule-
bra and Emperado General. Alban had
now marched on Colon. His theory is
that General Alban completely ldislodged
the rebel force which had rendezvoused
at Chorrera, from which place, MT: Her
and Emperado, where they again took a
stand Their defeat at these places, Mr..
Herran says, leaves General Alban free
to march to Colon.
Mr.. Herran believes that General Alban
now has at least 1000 well equipped and
thoroughly armed men. besides which 500
men are on board the Colombian boat
Pinzon, now at Colon Mr.. Herran asserts
that the rebels have not at the outside
more than 500 men.
The action taken by the United States
in landing marines and protecting the line
across the isthmus is in conformity with
the wishes of the Colombian Government
and follows a specific request recently
made by Mr.. Herran. The Colombian au-
thorities are fully aware that if they re-
take Colon it must be through their own
efforts and without the hope of any as
sistance from the American forces on the
