MLEAN STANDS FIRM.
N"ioihb 1a Said to BE Indignant over
HIS Disarming Troops Before a
""s Them Transportation
Across Isthmus.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The Navy De-
partment is in receipt of the following
caolegram from Commander MacLesn
OF the cruiser Cincinnati, dated Colon.
Sept. 20:
The United States guards and guar
antees traffic and the line of transit.
To-day l permitted the exchange of
Colombian troops from Panama to
colon, about one thousand men each
way, the troops without arms, in train
guarded by American naval force in
the same manner as other passengers,
arms and ammunition in separate train
guarded also by naval force in the
same manner as other freight"
officials of the Colombian legation
mere predict that a storm of disappro-
val VIII arise in Colombia as a result
of Commander MacLean's action in
dlsarm1ng the Colombian troops before
thelr passage across the isthmus. 1t
is stated here that Colombia's agree
ment with the Panama Railroad Com
pany specifically provides for the trans
portation of Colombian soldiery by the
railway when occasions arise, and the
commanders action is regarded at the
legation here as a direct infringement
OF Colombia's sovereignty over the
isthmus.
A belief which has grown so strong
that it no longer can be disregarded
is held in Central and South American
diplomatic quarters here in regard to
this latest, and in point of numbers,
almost unprecedented dispatch of ma
val force to the isthmus. This be-
lief (and it should be stated that the
impression prevails in spite of en-
phatic expressions of high officials of
the United States government to the
contrary is that the large naval force
which has been sent to keep traffic
open across the isthmus will prevent,
by its very presence, the continuation
of hostilities along the railroad on an
extensive scale, and soon bring them
to a halt altogether, that the force
has been sent there in anticipation of
an early signature of the Panama ca
nal treaty, and that it will be kept
there to maintain order.

WAR VETERANS CLASH.

Col. Russell u. Harrison Given the
Lie by Adjutant General LilIer.
indianapolis, Sept 22.-The differ
ences that have existed between high
officers of the Spanish War
Veterans eliminated at the meeting of
the encampment to-day in a sensa-
tional incident.
During the course of discussion on
the validity of certain records of the
last encampment, Adjt. Gen. Liller.
who was removed from Office Sunday
night, gave Col. Russell B. Harrison
the lie direct.
At the encampment Col. Harrison
was appointed chairman of the Audit
ing Committee to go over the ac-
counts of Adjt. Gen. Liller, and after
the latter had finished reading them
he arose and said that the minutes
of the last meeting had been so chang
ed that he was unable as chairman of
the committee to proceed under the
resolution.
Adjt. Gen. Liller arose and exclaim-
ed: do you mean to say that l fall
sified the record?"
Col Harrison-T mean just that and
nothing more"
You are a liar" exclaimed AdJt.
Gen. Liller.
Col. Harrison jumped from his seat
and made a dash towatd the deposed
adjutant general. Ee had not gone ten
feet before he was grabbed by Col. e.
r. Hutchins of Iowa and Dan. s.
Sauer of Louisville.
A moment after Mr.. Liller called Mr..
Harrison a liar, Charles H. Madden of
this city arose and addressed Col. Har-
rision's accuser, exclaiming, 'Tll smash
your head!'
This ended the affair. Subsequently
Mr.. Liller was summoned to appear be-
fore the council of administration to
answer certain charges, but declined
to do so,

fuses to Recognize His Daughter.
Brussels. Belgium. Sept. 22.-The
scandal arising from the revival of the
family quarrel between King Leopold
and his daughter, the Princess Ste
phanie Countess of Lonyay) beside the
bier of the late Queen Marie Henri
eta at Spa yesterday, is agitating all
classes. Popular sympathy on all sides
is expressed for the Princess. who, al
though deeply affected by the incident,
makes no complaint. The Princess
herself has given out a simple state
ment of the facts as follows:
The precise facts are these l was
praying at the bier of the Queen when
some enc came, about o'clock. to tell
me the King would not receive me. l
Immediately left the death chamber.
l had no interview with his majesty"
1t was hoped by the public, who
applauded Princess ~Stephanies love
match with the Count of Lonyay, that
the death Of the Queen would lead to
healing the rupture, but the incident
at Spa is taken to demonstrate that
the King is as irreconcilable as ever
to wha he openly has designated as
mesall:anGe. The Princess will not be
at. her mothers funeral. She started
for Calais THIS afternoon. She was ac-
corded most enthusiastic greet
ing by Large crowds of peo-
pie at the railroad station, while
cries of Viva la Comtesse" were rails
ed, to which she replied, Il thank you
with all my heart
Then, apparently quite overcome by
the popular demonstration, the Prin-
cess burst into tears.

MEANS NOTHING.
So Say New York Bankers Concern
ing the S1,5OO,OOO Deficit In Bank

Reserves.
New York, Sept. 22.-Prominent
bankers in the Wall street district to-
day reiterated the opinion that the de-
felt of about s1,5OO.OOO in the bank re-
serves was purely sentimental mat
ter, meaning nothing in the face of
the immense actual reserves of the
banks.
THE deficit Of Saturday" said Mr..
Frank A. Vanderlip, vice president of
the National City Bank, means abso-
lutely nothing in the face Of ample
deposits. The law requires reserve of
25 per cent. OF net deposits. That is a
safety reserve. with a deficit Of a
million and a half It is only fraction
Of a per cent. below this, and Is per
cent. is an ample fraction of safety.
II IL should come 20 a deficit amount
ing to a respectable percentage II
would be serious even when the causes
for low reserves IN the banks here are
legitimate and the low reserves mean
healthy business conditions. But II
means nothing now"

stock Broker With Fatal Effect.
Paris, Sept. PA sensation has been
caused in financial circles here by the
publication of dispatch from Etretat,
near Havre, announcing that a Paris
ian artist named Syndon fired several
shots to-day with a revolver at M.
David, the well-known stock broker of
Paris, who was walking along the
sea front with his wife. M. David
died on the spot.
Syndon has made a confession. in
which he says M. David accused him
of trying to seduce his daughter, aged
Is, to whom he was giving drawing
lessons, and recently put him out of
his house, breaking a cane over his
back. Syndon says he went to En-
tretat Sunday to prove his innocence
of this charge. When he met M. David
the stock broker spoke so insultingly
to him that he lost his self-control and
used his revolver.

AT BREAKING POINT
THE RELATIONS BETWEEN VENE-
ZUELA AND GREAT BRITAIN.
MAY RECALL THE MINISTERS
TO FORCE MATTERS TO A CRUCIAL
ISSUE.

This Is Believed to BE the Policy
Contemplated by VenezueIa-That
q Diplomatic Rupture Between
the Two Countries VIII Result In
HOstilities Is "A Contingency Thus
Far Scarcely COntemplated-PrO-
test Against Raising British Flag
Over PatOs IsIaIfI.
London, Sept. 22.-The Associated
Press is in a position to announce that
diplomatic relations between Great
Britain and Venezuela are on the
verge of being severed. Any day, al
most any hour. may bring the an
nouncement that the British minister
at Caracas has been given his pass
port, with corresponding action to-
wards the Venezuelan representative
in London. The cause of the crisis
does not seem to be confined to any
particular incident, but consists in va
rious differences which eliminated in
Venezuela assuming such an angry at
titude as to leave Downing street fully
impressed with the belief that the Ven
ezuelan government intends to force
matters to a crucial issue. That a
diplomatic rupture would result in hos
tilities, is a contingency thus far
scarcely contemplated. The diplomatic
relations are so strained that, to quote
a responsible British official, it would
make very little difference if the fact
became public property by the absence
of the diplomatic representatives from
Caracas and London.
The view of the foreign office is that
affairs have reached a stage where it
is impossible to deal satisfactorily with
Venezuela in any matter which may
come up. In proof of this contention,
the foreign office instances the report
of the United States minister at Cara
cas-, Herbert w. Bowen, announcing
that the Venezuelan government has
protested against the British flag be-
ing raised over Patos Cor Goose ISL
and, over which the Venezuelan gov
ern claimed sovereignty. According to
the British governments understand
ing, Patos Island belongs to Great
Britain, just as much as Trinidad, and
so far as known, no questions as to
it's ownership has ever arisen. Inhabi-
tants of the island have recently been
shot or otherwise endangered through
the action of the Venezuelans,
whether government or revolutionary
partisans is not known. For purposes
of protection, the local West Indian
authorities ordered the British flag to
be prominently displayed on the ISL
and, hence the protest, which the for
eign office says is only one of many.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw was interviewed to-
night in regard to a report that the
abolition of the sub-treasuries has been
under considerati ton.
1.-THE Secretary of the Treasury is the
only cabinet officer who reports directly

empowered to make whatever recon-
mendations l may deem advisable and
my forthcoming report may contain
certain recommendations which deem

Should l say what those Recommended
lions would be- Congress might decline
to adopt them.
1.-THE abolition of the sub treasures"
continued the secretary, would re-
lease $50, 100000 at the present time. The
remainder of the $21S, TIA, 500 in the
treasures at the last report is in cir
culation now. We have sought to de-
post the money as rapidly as possible
and avoid a contraction of the mar
ket"
The secretary said that he did not
know that anything would be done be-
fore the meeting of Congress- There
was no occasion for anxiety What
Congress would do when it met. to re-
lieve a contingency that was constantly
recurring is something he cannot fore
tell.
Shaw Says He Was Misguided.

Treasury Shaw tonight gave out the
following statement:
