Washington, Aug. GA very interest

United States to protect British interests
there. Several days ago. the governor.
,of Panama requested Commander Potter,
of the United States gunboat Ranger, to
go in search of the Colombian warship
Boyaca, supposed to be in distress, Per-
mission was granted from here for the
Ranger to, do so. But yesterday Com
mander Potter reported that he would not
go to sea because of the appearance off
the harbor of a revolutionary ship. To-
day he cabled that he had been informed
that the governor of Panama contem-
plated seizing the British vessel Quito,
and, there being no British warshap at
Panama, he asked for instructions. The
presumption is that the appearance. Of the
revolutionary war vessel off the harbor
alarmed the government authorities, and
having no ship at hand to meet her, they
proposed to press the Quito into service,
possibly for the purpose Of arming her
out to meet the insurgent vessel When
| the property of one nation is threatened
| in this fashion, in the absence of a war
| ship of that particular country, it is Gus
tomary for warship of friendly nation,
when appealed to, to protect the property
of the country requesting aid. But IT. is
not proper for a warship Of one country
F to proffer protection unless formally re-
quested to do so. Instructions to this
effect were Immediately sent 10 Com :
mander Potter, and, if the British consul
at Panama should appeal to the Ranger
for assistance. Commander Potter will be
expected to adopt the same method to
prevent seizure which he would If the
Quito were an American ship. ~
7 Captain Potters dispatch was commun-
icated by the naval authorities to the
state department, as it. was thought to
involve the possibility Of international
complications. The state department had
received no direct advices from Consul

early to-day. Across the top of the head
were two wounds and the skull was
crushed at the base. There are numer-
Gus other bruises about the body Along
side the body lay bloody pick handle.
sweeny quit work at midnight and was
followed bySta score of men. The men
were making threats and SWeeny was
afraid of them. He took refuge in sa-
loon and waited there for some time. After
he thought the crowd that followed him
had dispersed he left for. his home. This
was the lasts seen of him alive. The sup
position is that the men who followed
him from the mine were lying in wait for
him and when he approached the spot
where they were hiding they assaulted
him wit h pick handles and beat his brains
out. -. -. 49, --..'.'. r. 1T, -.
The body lay in pool of blood. One
of the arms was also broken, apparently
by a blow from club. The murderers
were determined to make sure Of their
work. The nearest house is several hum
dred yards from the scene of the crime,
but one of the inmates thought he heard
the cry of murder about 2 O'clock this
morning. The county detective is now at
work ons the case. It is said the COM
pany will offer a reward of $1,000 for the
arrest and conviction Of the murderers. 3
+ The murdered man told the superinten-
dent of the mine where he was employed
that some of the strikers had spoken to
him last week. and advised him that it
did not look right to see him going to
work and that If he was wise he would
quit at once Sweeny said he needed en-
ployment as his family was in want. The
next day another delegation of men met
him on his way to work and told him If
he did not quit work he would be sorry.
| Sweeny said these warnings worried him,
but he resolved to continue at work
There is much Indignation over the cold

thought the reason the challenge coming
earlier than usual was that Sir Thomas was to
