A RAIN OF IRON
POURED BY LIBERALS
Adams Troops Beaten Off by Terrific
Rifle Fire at Perequete.
EASY TARGET FOR THE LIBERALS.
A Number OF His Men on the Gunboat Boyaea
wounded--Two Schooners Sent Ahead OF
the 0unboat 90 Aground-The Liberals
Claim That Three Hundred Of General
Adams Force Were Captured.

Colon, Colombia, (By Cable) MANY
versions are current, all biased in favor
of the Liberals, regarding the where
abouts and fate of General Adams ex-
pcdition, which left Panama on Sunday
last. The following is the most authen-
tic and plausible; On arriving off Pere-
quote, distant about 80 miles from Pan
anna, and 10 miles beyond Chorrera, as
the crow flies, General Alban, on the
gunboat Boyaca, sent forward two
schooners, which grounded. The lib-
erals on land Immediately poured. a
terrible rifle fire upon these vessels,
causing much havoc on board. General
Alban then ordered the Boyaca's boats
TO 60 to the assistance of the schooners.
The crew of the Boyaca complied, with
the result that many of them were
wounded, and the boats returned to the
Boyaca. When ordered for the second
time to go to the assistance of the
schooners the boats crews refused on
the ground that it was useless to do so
that that such a step meant sure death to
them Hence, the Boyaca returned to
Panama, taking many wounded men
with her. The Liberals claim that 800
men of General Adams force were cap
tured in this way, and that they now
strengthen the Liberal ranks.
1t has been held all along that General
Alban undertook no easy task when he
attempted to land troops in the vicinity
of Chorrera. The Generals return to
Panama was looked forward TO with
great hopes, but when he returned in the
manner in which he did many people
there were discouraged and downcast,
which leads to the belief that the gravity
of the situation is recognized.

This situation is taken advantage of by the llbrettist to exercise his ingen- uty in travesty of the custom. The little chaperons are introduced to the sights of Paris, on the riviera and in Alexandria with the paid chaperon in the person of Marie CahiIl, while the comedienne extracts all the humor pos sible out of such Hoytian creation.
 Louise Cunning and Frances Wheel CT are the chief conspirators of the lit- tie chaperons and they lead their guar dian, inpersonated by Digby Bell, a merry chase. Walter Jones and little Eva Tanguay, the one as relic of re- spectable society and the other as a girl detective, are constantly interfering with the plot in low comedy way, While Jos. C. Miron, as stranded im- impresario with a grost4que Italian opera company on his hands, falls in with the chaperons and sticks to them so long as they have money. Among the artist students from the Latin quarter whom he has unwittingly sign ed to complete his company are the American lovers of the girls and their presence assists Marie Cahill to show how much. different the chaperon in real life can be from what she is ex- pected to be.

Daily and nightly at Polls great audi ences watch with astonishment the wonderful unfolding of the pageant ac- companying the mortal remains of the martyred president The scenes are taken in Buffalo, Washington and Can ton.

 YALE'S FOOTBILL PRACTICE.
Their Work Yesterday Was Not Fast English Athletes mt the Field.

l English Athletes mt the Field.
 The Yale football team lined up for
 less than ten minutes play yesterday | the best They scored one touchdown against the scrub team, aided by Ho- gans long run of forty yards. The hefty freshman broke through the left side of the scrub line and shook off
 about six men who tried to tackle him.
 On the kickoff after the touchdown
 Chadwick ran the ball back about for ty-f1ve yards.
 The team played only fair game against the scrubs and many times they were unable to gain ground. There didn't seem to be any team work and frequently the interference was broken up and the backs nailed. Rafferty, the right end, did not get out to the field until the practice between the two first teams was over on account of recita- ton. Ferguson took his place. Swan started in at left end, but after two minutes he was relieved by Captain Gould. Jack Ward, a full-back candi- date, was called upon by Captain Gould to do the varsity although he did not get into the game. He stood behind the backs and when signal for kick was given he sent the ball down the field. Ward is a well put man, is fast and is good kicker. He hasn't great ability to advance the ball, running high and hitting the line. He is the best kicker out so far. He, Vanderpoel and Olcott were drilled for about an hour in kicking by Billy Bull and their punts were returned by the backs. who handled the ball yesterday much better than they did the day before.
 The line men were given a. half hours practice in breaking through, and later were sent through on the full backs in attempts to block kicks. This they did
