New York, Dec. 1.-The Herald's Colon.
Colombia, correspondent cables as fol-
lows: Your correspondent has obtained
an interview with Gen. Carlos Alban.
governor of the department of Panama
and commander Of the military and
naval forces of the isthmus, regarding
the conditions there prevailing.
When General Alban was asked if he
could now maintain free transit on the
isthmus, he replied:
Colombia does not require foreign aid
to maintain free transit across the 18TH
mus. Within nine days we have recap
tured Colon and have killed or taken
prisoners the troops that occupied that
port"
Are you satisfied with the terms of
the treaty executed in Colon?' was
asked.
Yes, the terms are the same as those
arranged in July of last year. when the
revolutionists surrendered at Panama. 1
must say, however, that many of those
same rebels have again taken up arms
against the Government"
DO you consider the Isthmian revolu-
ton entirely at an end?"
Not yet" replied General Alban en-
phaticalIy. There are still several bands
of insurgents in the interior of the de-
partment of Panama. These bands will
soon be crushed.
"One of the two revolutionary generals
on the isthmus, Domingo Diaz, has al
ready been defeated. We are now going
to defeat the other insurgent, Belizario
Parras who capitulated last year. Diaz
has a strong personal following; so has
Parras.

FILCH CHURCH FUND.
Crafty Scheme to Keep Fortune From
Leaving Family.
(By Associated Press.)

By Associat ted Press)
Mexico City, Dec. 2.-About year
ago robbers entered the house of an
elderly lady named Vasquez and her
widowed daughter, Sonora Campello,
and are said to have stolen $4,000.
The police arrested five men who were
tried and sentenced to prison for long
terms. 1t now appears the affair was
plot to prevent the money being left to
the church. The aged woman, who is
member of Vasquez's family planned
the robbery, employing a friend under
promise Of reward to get men to pre-
tend to steal the money.
The robbers penetrated the house and
secured a small amount of money and
| jewelry, the larger sum having been
hidden. The man who was employed t,
engineer the supposed steal not receiv-
ing the reward, confessed and this led
to the police searching the house and
finding the $4,000.
| The money was taken and deposited in
| the National bank of Mexico. The mer
now in prison expect new trial and
mitigated sentences.

planned the alleged robbery has beer

BELIEVES MISS STONE
AND MRS. TSILKA DEAD
American Missionary in Bulgaria Sup
ports Theory That Brigands Muir
dered 1heir Captives.
(By Associated Press.)

Thy Associated FEeSS.J
New York, Dec. 2.-Henry c. Packell.
representing the American Board OF MIS-
sions of Boston at Samakov, Bulgaria,
has sent the following dispatch from
Sofia, Bulgaria, to the World concerning
the rumors of the death of Miss Ellen
NJ Stone, the American missionary:
1--WE hope that the dreadful news Is
untrue. bvt there is reason to make us
fear otherwise. If the parties are dead,
this fact would account for the deter
mined subsistence on the part of the
brigands that the ransom money should
be paid before the captives are surren-
dered to us.
"It would also account for the brigands'
stubborn refusal to give safe conduct to
one of our representatives to see Miss
Stone and Mrs Tsilka in order to certify
to us that they are alive, before we pay
over the ransom money.
"It would appear that it was really on
this point and not on the contention that
the sum offered by US was insufficient,
that negotiations for the surrender of
the captives were broken off recently.
Besides. the brigands animated that
they would delay giving UP the prisoners
until spring. although it is their first
interest to close the matter as quickly
as possible.
"These considerations necessarily
weigh with us in view Of the reports now
prevalent that the two women are dead
Moreover. we have some confirmation Of
the grave news and We are sending men
to learn the facts"

the province should be so proclaimed.
The assistance required in the form of

he said. though they We're hopeful that
the affair would terminate in the release
of Miss Stone and her companion. All
the missionaries l met were anxious
that everything possible should be done
to secure the release of the captiyes, but
many of them were concerned about the

1T is the current idea in CONSTANT

Macedonian committee and that it had
political enlargement as it's ultimate
object.

reached home that Miss Stone was dead
may very easily be true, for the region
in which she and her compa anton have
been kept by the brigands is one Of the
extreme exposure.
"It is not only almost inaccessible, but
there are constant and severe cold with
almost continuous storm, and unless
the captives have been better cared for

be under the circumstances it may well
be expected that they will perish if they
