Colon, Nov. 24.-Breastworks "a are be-
ing erected in the public thoroughfares
of Panama. The town people in the
vicinity of these are hastily moving
to safer places. All persons known to
be liberals are arrested on sight. The
government has declared it's intention
to contest every inch of ground Il an
entrance into the city is effected. 1t
is reported that some seventy persons
who were wounded at Perequito were
landed on the island of Taboga, fac
ing Panama harbor, to avoid creating
alarm in Panama. Taboga is about
eight miles from Panama.

marines should be landed from the
United States battleship Iowa, but
Capt. Perry, her commander, has not
complied with this request.

second time yesterday afternoon with
Gen. Alban and a few men. The gov

landing at Chorrera. routing the enemy
and recovering all the prisoners pre-
viously reported taken, with the ex-
ception of two. Among the number
recovered. according to the govern
ment version, is the alcalde of Taboga.
The Liberal version of the incident is
that the alcalde was afraid to fight and
when captured offered Domingo Diaz.
the Liberal leader, 81 900 if he would
release him, that the offer was ac-
cepted, and that the alcalde was al
lowed to go after giving his word of
honor not to attempt to escape. The
Liberals also assert that Gen. Alban
effected a landing at Chorrera after
the Liberals had withdrawn to join the
Liberal forces marching to the Empire
station.
1t is asserted that the steamer Da-
rien, which the Liberals recently cap
tured from the government. escaped
the Boyaca under cover of night. but
it is generally believed that she was
sent to Tucamo some time ago.
The government claims that the
Chorrera troops are momentarily ex-
pected at Panama and that on their
arrival there Preparations will be made
sto attack the liberals advance guard
and that these will not cease until
Colon has been recaptured.
Great hopes are entertained that the
news of the capture of Colon will in
duce the authorities at Barranquilla to
send big reinforcements to land at Co
Ion and annihilate the enemy.
1t is reported that the Liberal gun
boat Almirante Padilla. with Gen. Her

EXCITEMENT AT COLON.
Arrival of Colombian GunbOnt
Arouses the Liberals.

Colon, Colombia, Nov. 24.-The Co
lombian gunboat General Pinzon arriv-
ed in the harbor at $50 this morning
The excitement in Colon at once be-
came intense. The Pinzon will not be
permitted to land the troops she is
carrying at this port. If such an at
tempt is made the Liberals assert they
will fire upon them. 1t is thought that
the landing of government troops from
the gunboat should be effected up the
Chagres river, in the direction of Ga
tun station and at point about five
miles from Colon, or on the beach
south of Colon, where fighting would
be permissible.
Senior LaRosa, secretary to Gen.
Diaz, arrived here yesterday. Gems.
Lugo and Diaz are expected at Colon
shortly.
The capture of Colon by the Liberal
forces is already known at Savanilla
and doubtless at Bogota.
The situation here remains unchang-
ed. Traffic across the isthmus is not
impeded.

leans in the Outburst.

London, Nov. 24-With the moderat-

phase of the Chamberlain incident is
regarded as already passed. Whether
the agitation VIII be carried further
will now depend upon the attitude of
Count Won Buelow, the German impe-
rial chancellor, assumes in the Reich
stag.
1t has been reported that Count Won
Buelow will take a firm stand against
Mr.. Chamberlain's Edinburg remarks,
being nothing 10th to use the agitation
in Germany as a lever to assist the
naval programme of Emperor Will

The question still SINNERS in the
British press.
The Daily Chronicle says to-day:
1T should be plain to thoughtfm
Americans that this agitation in Ger
many is an expression of an animus
not confined conclusively to one branch
of the Anglo-Sax race. It is prob
able that If South Africa were peaceful,
the Philippines would be the subject
of German pen and pencil fantasies" 3"

Manila, Nov. 24.-Capt Edward P.
Lawton's company of the Nineteenth
Infantry has attacked and captured
an insurgent fort on Bohol Island.
south of Cebu, in the Viscayan group.
This fort was surrounded on all sides
by a precipice and the only entrance
to the higher ground was guarded by
d suockade with a line of fntrench-
ments behind it. Capt. Lawton sent
Sergt. Mcmahon and twenty men to
climb the precipice and attack the fort
in the rear. Sergt. McMahon's party
accomplished their task after three
hours climbing, through the thick I'M
dergrowth of brush and vines that
covered the almost perpendicular cliff.
They took the enemy by surprise and
drove them from the fort. AS the in
surgents escaped they had to pass the
remainder of Capt. Lawton's company
at a distance of $50 yards. Here the en-
emy suffered terrible losses.
The insurgents defended themselves
with both cannon and rifles. The
cannons were captured, the smaller
ones were removed. while the larger
ones were buried. Capt. Lawton, in
his report, makes special mention for
bravery of Sergt. List and Mcmahon.
Capt. Lawton is a member of the dis
tinguished Savannah family of that
name and received his appointment to
West Point from this state. Upon his
graduation from the military academy
he was commissioned second lieutenant
of the Thirteenth Infantry, June IA,

ant in 1892, and received his captaincy
in 1899. He is one of the best known
and most promising of the younger Of
