WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. so,-The
confirmation of the reported capture of

a decided commotion in the State and
Navy Departments to-day. There were
long conferences between Secretary Long
and Admiral Crowinshield and between
the Admiral and acting Secretary OF State
DR.. Hill. Later the two last named went
over TO the White House and saw Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The first news of the trcuble at Colon
came from United States Consul-General
Gudger, at Panama. He telegraphed the
State Department that n considerable.
number of Liberals had taken passage or
the railroad Che did not Indicate wherel
and arriving at a certain point had cut
the telegraph wires and taken Up a rail,
thus breaking communication.
Later there came second message from
Eonsul-General Gudger announcing that
Colon had been taken. This was CON
frrned more explicitly by Tilted States
Consul Maimors. stationed at Colon. The
latter official said that Colon was taken
by the rebels last night.
While an business is suspended. transit
IS not interrupted, and American life and
property are safe and not likely 20 be in
danger.
AS a result of the consultation to-day

Meanwhile news came that Commander
McCrea, OF the Machias, which is now ly
