to the great crowd patiently waiting
around the Columbia club and the sol

president to appear. 1t was about
half past two o'clock, half an hour al

in the crowd received intimations that
the president was sick and that the
rest of the trip would have to be ab2n-

that he had been shot. The rumors,

indianapolis, Sept 24-After the
president entered the operating room
he sat down on a stool and waited for
instructions from the physicians and
surgeons, watching their preparations
with keen interest. The operation
proceeded without delay The presi-
dent suffered some pain, but he said
nothing. He was afterwards taken to
a room and served with light lunch
con, chatting pleasantly to those in
the room At 7:40 he was carried to
the train.
The operation was made necessary
by the swelling resulting from the
trolley accident at Pittsfield. Besides
being cut in the face, he received a
blow in the inner part of the left leg
above the ankle, but he paid no atten-
ton to it. Finally it became SO
troublesome that the physician on the
train examined the | wound. At De-
troit an operation was urged to avoid
the possibility of blood poisoning. At
Indianapolis a consultation of physi-
clans was had and the operation de-
cided upon with the result already
stated.

RETREAT TO
Aqua DULCE

Panama, Sept. 23.-Government
soldiers who were captured by Gen
eral Herrera at Aqua Dulce and who
were compelled to join his army and
who succeeded in escaping arrived
here yesterday They confirm the re-
port that the whole revolutionary army
has abandoned it's camp near Choir
rera and is retreating towards Aqua
Dulce. 1t is reported That Herrera
has incorporated in his army all guer
rilla bands he can induce to join him.
The abandonment Of the Chorerra
camp, it is claimed, dispels all fear of
interruption of traffic on the railroad,
and renders it impossible for battle
to occur at Panama or Colon. Rein
forcement of Colombian troops con-
tinue to arrive on the isthmus, which
it is alleged undoubtedly caused Her
rera's retreat.
