Naval Fight at Panama.

a Panama, Nov. 12.-The first Ameri-
can casualties as a result of the re-
volution. occurred yesterday. The
Colombian feet captured a boat having
on board correspondence showing the
whereabouts OF two revolutionary
schooners loaded with provisions. The
Government waFships headed for the
place and on arriving there the Bogota,
formerly the Jessie, Banning, manned
by an American crew, commanded by
Capt. Marmaduke aoWsged two boats
with armed men, but as the schooners
we're aground they awaited until high
tide to attack.
In the meanwhile the revolutionists
were discovered in ambush close to
the beach and when the Bogotas' boats
pulled ahead the second time the reb-
els opened fire on them, killing the
ships armorer, Richard Kane, Of
Washington, and wounding George
Walker, who was shot through the
legs. A seamen named Clark and
Lieut.. Vasquez were also wounded, but
not seriously.
The Bogota and Chucuito then open
ed fire on the enemy and killed every
man in sight One shot fred at group
of ten rebels, who were most actively
engaged in shooting at the boats
crews, killed every one of them.
Gunner Cross, of the Bogota, thinks
that from forty to fifty rebels were
killed.
One of the schooners, the Relvetia,
loaded with rice, was captured, but
the first shot at the second schoon-
er set her on fire and she was COM
pletely destroyed with her cargo.

Why an Alabama Republican
Lest His Job Monday.

Washington, November 10.-Julian
Il. Bingham, collector OF internal re-
venue for the district of Alabama, has
been removed from his offiee and
Joseph O. Thompson appointed to
succeed him. The change was made
as result Of 3 political condition which
recently arose in Alabama. Colored
Republicans were excluded from
participasion in the Republican State
Convention and Collector Bingham
was held responsible at least IN a
measure, for the exclusion.
Postmaster General Payne visited
the White House today and, as he LETT
the executive Office, made public the
following statement assigning the rea-
sons for the change
80 The change in the Office OF collect
or of internal revenue for the district
OF Alabama in no wise rejected upon
The Integrity OF Mr.. Bingham, the In
curnbenb Of the Office. 1t is enc OF
those Shings which occasionally hap
pan In politics. The position taken
bg the Republicans Of Alabama at
their recent State Convention, as un-
derstood by the RepublicEls OF the
North, is looked upon as a peryersaon
of the fundamental principles OF the
Republican party, and Mr.. Bingham
is, in 8 measure, held responsible for
that action hence the change.
Neisher the Administration nor the
Republican party of the North will
stand for the exclusion Of any section
of our people by reason Of their race
or color, when, IN other respects, such
persons have complied with the laws
and are eligible under the law to full
and free participation in political ac-
tion and are Of high standard of per-
sonal character. In other words.
there are few hundred cosored men
IN Alabama who come up to the re-
cuiremants Of the recently adopted
State Constit and are eligible for
participation in political affairs, and
the action of the Republican State
Convention referred to, In arbitrarily
excluding them, is not approved; no
more than such action would be ap-
proved if it were taken IN Ohio or
Indiana.
Mr.. Thompson, the appointee, is q
brother of Representative Thompson,
Of Alabama. He is Republican,
although his brother represents Dem
soaratic district.

Cholera in Manila.

Manila, Nov. 12.-Cholera made its
appearance among the men of detach-
ment of the 5th inafntry which is sta
toned here. Seven men have already
died and number of others are seri
ously i'll.
The detachment of the 5h infantry in
question had been placed on guard
along the Maraquina River, whence
Manila receives its water supply, as
it was deemed necessary to protect the
stream from possible pollution. The
cholera developed while the men were
on this duty.
It was believed that cholera had en-
tirely disappeared from Manila, and
its temperance has created feelings OF
apprehension.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 12.-President
Roosevelt passed sthrough Pittsburg
at 10. 80 this morning, en- route to a
point in Mississippi where he has ar
ranged to spend several days hunting
black bear, as the guest of President
Fish, of the Illinois Central Railroad.
He is travelling on special train of
three cars. and is accompanied by
Secretary Cortelyou and his physician,
DR.. G. A. Lung, of the navy. He
will 60 direct to Memphis Tenn,
without stop. From Cincinnati to
Louisville the train will run over the
Louisville and Nashville, and there
will shift to the tracks of the Illinois
Central. The President will reach
Memphis tomorrow, where he will be
joined by President Fish, and the
journey to Mississippi will be made
over the Yazoo and Mississippi Rail
road. The next destination of the
President has been kept secret. Hunt
ing with gallery is not to the taste
of a sportsman like President Roose-
velt, and it was for that reason that
he vetoed the hunt to which Cover
nor Longino invited him. A camp
has already been prepared in North
ern Mississippi, few miles from the
line Of the railroad, and it is under
stood one of the best pack of hounds in
the South is waiting to be slipped on
the trail Of old bruin upon the Presi-
dents arrival.
Bears are reported to be plentiful
and there are also said to be some
panthers in the vicinity, SO that the
President is looking forward to this
sport with much pleasure.

Johnston, Nov. IA telephone

that another incendiary attempt was

A o OF CESAR.
The Quality of Mercy AS Exercised
BIZ the Great m

Caesar Travelled with the retinue OF 4
man of rank. and on his way to
Rhodes he fell in with an adventure
which may be something more than
legend. When he was crossing the
Egcan, his vessel Is said TO have been
taken by pirates. They carried him
10 Pharmacusa. an island of the Ca
rian. coast, which was then in their pos
session. and there he was detained for
six weeks with three of his attendants.
while the rest of his servants were
sent to the nearest Roman station TO
raise his ransom.
The pirates treated him with polite
ness. He joined in their sports. played
games with them, looked INTO their
habits and amused himself with them
rs well as he could. frankly telling
them at the same time that they would
te hanged.
The ransom. a very large one. about
10000. was brought ard paid. Cesar
was set upon the mainland, nea III
letus, where. without a moments
delay. he collected some armed vessels,
returned TO the island, seized the
whole crew while they were dividing
their plumber. and took them away TO
Pergamus. the seat Of government In
the Asiatic province. where they were
convicted and crucitied. clemency was
not a Roman characteristic. 1t was
therefore noted with some surprise
that Cesar interceded to mitigate the
severity of the punishment. The poor
wretches were strangled before they
were stretched on their crosses and
were spared the pro.ongatlon of their
torture.-James Anthony Froude.
