Colon, Colombia, Jan. 16.-News of a
mistake in which force of government
troops fought another body Of govern
ment soldiers, thinking it was composed of
Colombian revolutionists, has been,
brought here. The mistake happened in
the vicinity of Dibullo, near Rio Hacha,
and it resulted in eighteen men being
killed and sixty-three being, wounded.
The Colombian warship General Pin
ION landed 400 men in Dibullo to drive
back the insurgents. The revolutionists
retreated toward Rio Hacha when the
government troops advanced. The govern

to capture the rebels. One of these met
the rebels and after a sharp engagement
the insurgents retreated. The other body
| of government troops then came up, hav-
ing heard the firing, and the mistake fol-

rebels, each force started firing. The
fight was kept up for four hours, when

THOSE LEASES
Commissioner Jones Tells of
His Plan Regarding the
Standing Rock Lands
From, The Journal Bureau, Room 40, Post
BuiEding, Washington.

From The Journal Bureau, Room, 40, Post
building, Warrington.
Washington, Jan. 16.-The proposed
lea sing OF Standing Rock grazing lands
was considered at to-day's meeting Of the
senate committee on Indian affairs. Com
missioner Jones occupied the entire time
OF the session, explaining the action of his
office and department. He stated that
more than TOO of the Indians on the reser
walton signed an agreement to lease these
lands and that the department acted
strictly in accordance with this agreement
and the provisions of law authorizing the
lease of grazing lands.
He claimed that the Indians now on the
lands it is proposed to lease, will be amply
protected and that whenever the Indians
decide to cede portion Of their reserva-
ton to the government and the land is
opened to settlement, all leases are ter
minated.
The commissioner also claimed that re-
ports in his Office show that there are
about $4,000 head of cattle belonging to
whites and they have grazing free of any
cost on these lands. Leasing them will,
he said put 1t IN the power of the Sec
rotary of the Interior to limit the num-
Der of cattle en- these ranges and will
yield revenue t. the Indians at the same
time.
The committee adjourned until Thurs
day, when Representative Burke will
make statement. At that time Secre-
tary Hitchcock's answer to Senator Jones
resolution will be in print and Burke can
take it up and analyze it in detail. Re-
garding Commissioner Jones' statement
made to-day, Mr.. Burke said it was true
that the Indians consented to leasing a
portion of their lands but the agreement
they signed was for a small lease at SO
much per head. The departments pro-
posal is to lease On acreage and If it's
plan is carried out one company could
get control Of ali the grazing lands, fence
them and keep every one else out. This
he said, would retard the growth of the
state for many years. He will explain
the agreement and other things con-
nected with the leases next Thursday
Commissioner Jones told the committee
that no further action would be taken by
the department until congress does
something. e..

French May Have Reduced Their
Price Because Panama Project

xsw York sun sosex., Service

now York Sun &n8cIal Service
Washington, Jan. ia special meet
ing of the Isthmian canal commission
was held to-day for the purpose of con-
sidering the latest proposition of the
French people to sell their right in the
Panama canal for the lump sum of $40,-
100000. There is every reason to believe
that the commission, which already has
reported in favor of the Nicaragian route
across the isthmus, will now change it's
mind and report in favor of the Panama
canal line. This is due entirely to the re-
vised offer of the French shareholders to
$40, 100000. Rear Admiral Walker and his
commission declared in the first place that
they might have favored the Panama can
al except for the exorbitant price set upon
it by the French owners. Now Walker
and his associates believe they have ac-
complished great feat in inducing the
Frenchmen to cut their price down to
about one third of the original figure The
majority. of the commission favored the
Panama route in. case it could be bought
for $60,000,0O0. Now that it has forced
the Frenchmen to go down to $40,0o0,000,

route as being best under all circum-
stances .. ~s-7
This does not mean that the Panama
route necessarily will be selected. There
is a strong feeling in both house and SEN
ate that If the French people have spent
I over $2O0,OO0,0O0 on a canal by way OF
Panama, and have been unable to COM
| plete the work, but are willing to sell out
all their rights for $40,000,0O0, it must be
because the project as whole is nearly
! or quite hopeless.
! It is expected that the commission will
have completed it's work and be ready to
report to the president by next Saturday.

Oleomargarin Men Ceas'
Fighting Bills Before
the House.
Mexv York Sun SpecEaI Sarvk70

Washington, Jan. 16.-The house COM
mittee on agriculture, which set aside FIVE
days Of the present week for the presen-
tation of testimony by manufacturers OF
oleomargarin against favorable considera-
ton of any of the pending anti-oleo-
margarin bills, is experiencing difficulty in
securing witnesses.
The oleomargarin manufacturers have
thus far betrayed no interest in the pro-
posed legislation. They have apparently
made up their minds that it is no use for
them to undertake to fight against the
passage of the bill in the house. The
only persons who have appeared before
the committee thus far are representa-
tives of local factory and men who are
more intimately identified with the lobby
than with the actual business of manu-
featuring oleomargarin. 1t is likely that
the manufacturers are reserving thei1
energies for a fight before the senate
committee. -'-. : -.-

Jail Sentences for Two OFF,
Gals of Bayfield, County,

Six Others Fined $3.50 Each
Contempt Proceedings
at Madison.

Special to The Journal. :s-.= -.~
Madison, Wis, Jan. 16.-Judge Jenkins,
sitting for Judge Bum in the federal
court, to-day entered judgment finding
District Attorney A. w. Mcleod, Sheriff
LIEN and other Bayfield, county people,
who interfered with the execution OF
Judge Bunn's order directing Receiver
Frost to tear up the Washburn, Bayfield,
& Iron River road, guilty Of contempt OF
court.
District Attorney Mcleod and Sheriff
Lien, being officers of the law, were
deemed more guilty than the others, and
the court sentenced them to sixty days
each in the Dane county jail.
The six other acknowledgement R.
D. Pike of Bayfield,, D. NJ Maxcy, M. M
Sprague, w. H. Lemke, John A. Jacobs
and Carl Hirsch of Washburn, were SEN
fenced to pay fines of $3.50 each.
stay Of execution for ten days was
granted on motion of H. H. Hayden, at
torney for the defendants. in order to give
time for taking the case to the United
States court of appeals on writ of error.
Judge Jenkins did not decide definitely
the question whether the order directing
the tearing up OF the ROAD was proper
one, but he quoted the expression of the
late Chief Justice Ryan in saying that il
it was error the court had jurisdiction
to commit the error, the railroad being
in possession of the court and in charge
of a receiver.
He expressed establishment at the &C
ton Of Circuit Judge Parish, Of Bayfield,
county in. issuing such decree as the
writ of mandamus to restrain the re-
ceiver from executing the final decree OF
the court having Jurisdiction. The Unit
ed States statute relied upon by the de-
PENDANTS as authorizing such suit against
the receiver was not intended, the court
said, 'to enable the state court to render
nugatory a decree of the federal court
having jurisdiction. This would produce
anarchy"
In the case Of the six minor defendants,
the court said their conduct might be miti-
gated though not justified by the fact that
they acted under advice Of counsel and
appeared as taxpayers. He characterized
the conduct of Sheriff LIEN and District
Attorney Mcleod as fragrant and unwar-
ranted resistance to the decree of this
court which could not be passed over
without fine.

their time. Such a resolution will, with
out doubt. be introduced.
Reduced Exemption Opposed.
Some Of the amendments suggested to
the bill, which are strongly supported, can
be adopted without hampering it's gen.
eral provisions. The strongest objection
is raised to the section reducing the per-
sonal property exemption to $25. John G.
Sweet. representative from the thirty
ninth district. said to-day:
From my reading of the BILL the $25 exemp-
ton Is about the only feature would oppose.
The poor man pays enough taxes now. Ey-
erything he owns is reached. The assessor
can see his furniture his horses and cows,
wagons and other chattels. 1t Is the man
who owns bank stock, or has money in the
bank. who escapes. From the talk have had
with people in my district, they seem to favor
leaving the exemption at 500. ..
Former Governor Lind also objects to
this change in the law. His principal OBJ
lection is, however. that the new code
does not impose any tax on foreign COR
porations doing business in the state,
except the fee required by the Somerville
law. Many such things were considered
by the tax commission, and will be made
possible by the amendments to the consti-
tuition proposed in their report
