ECUADOR CUTS II.
Joins forces with the RebeIIfous
81 Elements NJ fh~ r.th,,r-a Il 8s9 WI

JOHNS Forces with the RebeiIf0us
Elements Of the Isthmus.
Washington, Sept. z. "A cablegram
was received mere yesterday from an
authoritative source in Gala, Colombia,
near the Ecuadorean border, stating
that Ecuador had interviewed as against
Colombia with an army well equipped
and with vessels Of war. Under these
circumstances, the cablegram states
that it WIZ be necessary to meet the.
move of Ecuador by having Colombian
war vessels I'm Pacific waters near the.
Colombian Ecuador frontier.
The information In the cablegram ID
considered clear evidence Of Ecuador's
intention to Join forces with the rebel
lious element on the isthmus Of Pan
anna. Until n3w Ecuador has main
tanned strict neutrality, but the cable
gram received yesterday indicates that
the first overt move against Colombia
has been made.
Considerable surprise is expressed at
the news of the intention of Ecuador
to invade Colombia as disclosed by the
dispatch received from Gala. which is
the most important of the cities of the
department of Cauca, bordering on
Ecuador. Senior Plaza, the new presi-
dent of the latter country, who has
just assumed office, heretofore has
given evidence of his intention to OBJ
serve strict neutrality between Colon
bia and Venezuela in their pending diff
ficulties. The impression prevails that
The Invading Force
is under the direction of the interven-
ing party in Ecuador which probably
has force of men near the border line
and is taking All early opportunity to
act before the new president can sue
cessfully interfere. The real objective
point is believed to be Panama, where
the invaders may assist the Colombian
revolutionists and those who may be
brought from Nicaragua. Reliance is
placed, however, by the Colombian Of
fcials on the presence of United States
men -of-war at Panama to prevent any
attack on the place. The battleship
Iowa is expected at Panama in day
or two. and with the Ranger, now
there, will be able to land a consider
abb force of marines should this be nee
essary to prevent attack.
From the acting governor of the
State of Panama word was received
in official circles yesterday that cOndf-
tons on the isthmus were not serious.
Peace and order is being preserved by
the Colombian government. The Of
ficials of the latter government, the
dispatch added, were expecting the ex-
petitions Tor invasions) that have been
announced from Ecuador and Near
aqua. The Colombian officials here
profess to have no fear of any serious
difficulties on the isthmus. saying that
in addition to the forces already there
to preserve the peace. 1000 men now at
Barranquilla are under orders to pro-
coed to the vicinity and should reach
there in a couple of days.

DOCK FIRE CHECKED.
Damage Will Run Close to SIOO,OOV-
Origin Unknown.

West Superior, Sept. 1.-THE fire in
the Lehigh coal docks was got under
control at o'clock yesterday morning
after destroying in the neighborhood of
one-half of the superstructure and
pockets at the dock of the Lehig,s
Coal and Coke company. 1t is expected
that the loss on the entire structure,
the coal that will be damaged and the
box cars, loading and unloading ap-
paratus and everything that was lost
will be in the neighborhood of $4,000.
1t is absolutely impossible to estimate
the damage done to the coal, all of the
soft variety, for it appeared that most
Of the fire on the coal piles was on the
outside. However. vast piles Of coal
were ablaze at once and the loss may
mount up to much more than is figured
on at the present time.
