have a case only where the alarm was
sent in knowingly.
It appeared In court that MT. ClearE
had the proper authority to place the
wire screens about the armory which ne
.cessitated the temporary removal OF
wires. At the time he knew not what
wires these were and as the job seemed
SO simple. decided to do it himself with
the assistance Of carpenter named
Woodfin.
Suddenly he was. interrupted by a
climber connected with the police and ire
alarm wires. who, after raising small
acket about his removing the wires. re-
ported the matter to City Electrician
Thompson. Mr.. Cleary was then asked to
call at the Office of the city electrician
and explain his action AS he did not ap-
pear the case was taken into the court
The trouble all happened during the
morning Of Sept. 10. 1t was purely case
of removing wires, the nature Of which
the workman had no knowledge. Justice
John stated that if the attorney for the
Commonwealth wanted to inflict penalty
on persons reported tampering with city
wires, then laws or ordinances would have
to be made accordingly.

The above dispatch was not dated, ex-
cept as coming from Colon. But 1t is
accepted as referring to events Of Mon
day. The officials at Washington are
not inclined to jump hastily at the con-
clusion that the obstruction Of traffic by
government soldiers was inspired by the
Colombian Government itself.but are more
ready to believe that the act was for the
purpose of ascertaining if any revolu-
tionists occupied the train. It is under
stood that at the meeting of Commanders
Mclean and Potter and the United States
Consul with the Governor at Panama.
the latter disavowed responsibility for the
act of the government troops. It Is I'M
derstood that the State Department will
make some representations to the gov
eminent at Bogota with a view to pre-
venting a repetition of the incident, and
obtain some explanation from Colombia
which may simplify the rather complex
situation which comes of the injunction
of the government, Liberal, ana United
States forces.

Supper was ordered from Rueger's. and
was spread on table in the cell about

A FRENCH SENSATION.
Pe1letan Makes Speech Which May
Give DeIcasse Trouble.

Give De1cnsse Trouble.
BIzEPTA, TUNIS, Sept. 16.-M. Pel1e-
tan. the French minister of marine, made
a remarkable speech at an entertainment
of the municipality yesterday evening,
which, it is said, will cause the French
foreign minister, NJ. Delcasee, some trou-
Bile to explain. After pointing out the
Importance of Bizerta as a bulwark Of
French, M. PelIetan proceeded:
We do not say we want to make the
Mediterranean French lake. We have
been cured of the dreams of the gre<t
man who wished US to dominate the
world. But part of the Mediterranean is
French and will remain French. With
this powerful rampant SO well situated
for defense and also for attack, and with
Corsica and Toulon, we can hold the open
door between the two halves of the Medi-
terranean in spite of Malta and Gibraltar.
Certainly I do not desire a conflict of
peoples against England any more than
against Italy, but as we do not know
what others are doing it is part of our
duty to prepare for the holy war; for the
French fatherland against its enemies,
whoever they may be-.
NJ. Pelletan concluded by remarklng
that he could not say more at present.
He had not yet become accustomed to be-
ing a minister and feared he might be car
ried away into expressing his opinion of
matters which exclusively concerned the
foreign minister.
