Panama, Colombia, April 4.-This
city was the scene of wild enthusiasm
on the part of the conservatives last
night when Governor Salazar made pub
lie the following dispatch received from
President Maroquin:
Bogota-Gen. Gonzales Vencia has
defeated and completely destroyed the
armies of Generals Ferron Soto and
Juan McAllister.
General Tribe Uribe, who invaded
Colombia via Medina, in the department
of Boyaca, was also defeated by Gen
eral Pardamo."
Governor Salazar informed the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press that
both victories were of great Importance,
because they meant practically the
end of the revolution, leaving only the
isthmus to be pacified.
The governor has received a dispatch
from Caucua announcing the approach
ing departure of 5000 men from that de-
partment to begin operations against
the liberal general, Herrera, who will be
attacked by 10000 government soldiers.
Should Herrera attack Panama the
governor said that the liberals would
lose every man they had because the in
trenchments Of Panama were the strong
est ever built here and could not be
stormed except by very numerous
army, which the liberals do not possess.

Deer Lodge, April 4-People here who

sympathetically specializing upon what
the feelings of Dotson's aged mother

that the hour had arrived when her son

night, was held up three miles north Of
the city limits by four masked men
Railroad authorities assert that the rob-

conflicting reports are In circulation.
The scene Of the attempted robbery
Is very near the place where on the
night Of September "a. 1893, four young
men Of this city made a futile attempt
to rob a Burlington train, two Of the
party being shot down.
On that occasion the railroad autholi-
ties, under the leadership OF w. G.
Brown, then general manager of the
Burlingtons Missouri lines ran a
dummy train loaded with policemen and
deputy sheriffs and the robbers were
taken by surprise, their plans having
been tipped off by treacherous con-
federate.
The robbers gained an entrance to the
express sar by compelling the engineer
to call to the express messenger and
by threats of blowing the door open with
dynamite Ten shots were fred, one at
Conductir Cox and several at Brakeman
Gaut, but none took effect.

Emerging on plain, large Boer REIN
forcements advanced against their
flanks. forcing the British troops to take
up defensible position, which they
hastily entrenched.
Fighting ensued at close quarters un-
til the Beers were repulsed on all sides
Delarey, Kemp and other leaders vainly
attempted to persuade their men to re-
new the action.
Fifteen hundred Beers participated
In the engagement, but they had suf-
fered too heavily and cleared away to
the northwest and south.
"The British losses also were severe.
"The Canadian rifles especially dis

manded by Lieut.. Bruce Carruthers,
holding its post until every man was
killed or wounded.
"Others of the forces showed great
steadiness, allowing the Beers to ad-

pelling them with steady rifle fire."

consumed in adjusting the straps about
him and at HIPS Sheriff Mcmahon gave
the signal to the man who performed
the unpleasant duty OF cutting the rope
and In twinkling the 3l2-pound weight
dropped to the ground and the con-
demned man was firmly in the clutches
of death.
Soon Pronounced Dead.
Fifteen minutes later Drs. J. Fl. Ow-
ings and E. f. Dodds announced that
life was extinct. The body was then
lowered and turned over to M Bein g.
Son, undertakers, who attended to the
burial at a late hour this afternoon.
Dotson's lass words, excepting when
he called for a drink of whiskey were
spoken to Rev. A. B. Martin of this city,
whom he chose to look after his spirit
ual welfare and requested him to
accompany him to the scaffold. Dotson
always referred to the pastor as
Father" Martin. He refused to embrace
the Catholic faith.
The condemned man displayed consid-
erable nervousness while he was
making preparations to start upon the
march to his death. The liquor braced
him up and he walked out to his doom
with wonderful firmness.
Arriving at the scaffold he mounted
the platform as the sheriff had directed
him to do.
Said Not Word.
He then glanced over the crowd OF
about 500 people but did not attempt to
say word to them.

with Dotson In his cell at 11:21, when

was John Fleming of Butte, brother OF
James Fleming, alias Macarthur. Mr..
Fleming believed that Dotson was the

said, requested Sheriff Mcmahon to
furnish him an invitation to see Dotson

the last hope of saving his neck from

Then he became communicative and
admitted that he was implicated in the
plot which led up to the killing OF his
aged parent Captain Oliver Dotson. In
February of last year. He did not ad-
NIT, however, that the plot to end his
fathers life had met with his approval.
He related In detail how behind the
thick stone walls of the penitentiary,
James Fleming, alias Macarthur, who
was hanged on September last upon
the same spot where Dotson died today,
conceived the plan TO commit murder
which he carried into execution soon
after he had finished his sentence for
