nized by Queen Alexandra.

LONDON, July 19.-The final official as
surance that the coronation will be held
three weeks hence has produced feeling
of relief that it is at last known when 1t

but it is doubtful If public interest will
continue keen.
The prolongation OF the social season has
made the summer unusually gay and has
brought some profits to those who were
losers on account of King Edward s illness
Conspicuous among the entertainments are
a series Of large weekend house parties at
Benheim. The Prince and Princess Of
Wales and others have resumed their usual
rounds of social engagements, but Queen
Alexandria has not yet attended any parties.
The Queens rule against the admission
OF divorced women to court continues TO be
quite as strict as the late Queen Victoria S.
Some American women, whose matrimonial
adventures have been discussed in New
York and Washington, recently found the
doors of the palace shut upon them. To-
Day says that one of those who was re-
fused admission TO court is the mother OF
prominent Anglo-American peereSS.

AS the iron track is bound 10 force its

not surprising that some lines OF railway
exist which are striking evidences of a
singularly bold conception carried out in
the face of obstacles which seemed almost
insurmountable. Sometimes the route Of
the future line lies across a desert: then
the great law of the compensation Of
nature seems to make itself felt. for TO
balance the saving Of time and money due
to the fact that long tunnels will not have

engineers are confronted by the total abb

struction, namely, wood. iron and water
which have TO be transported along the
newly laid line as II stretches its slow
length across the desert. Russa's Trans
Caspian Railway. now known as the Cen
tran Asian Railway. was built under these
conditions: thousands OF logs OF timber
were needed, and the region traVersed can
not boast of a single tree for more than
seven hundred miles. This timber was re-
quired for building the long bridge. two

bridge. Between Merv and Charjui the

Result Not known-Much Alarm i'm the
City-PrObabiIities of n Big Battle
at Agua DuIcc.

PANAMA, Colombia. July 19.-The in

peared last night between Flamenco and
OttiQue islands. Governor Salazar there
upon ordered the government gunboats
Chucuito and Clapet to put to sea and
meet them. Heavy cannonading was heard
at 10 o'clock this morning. The United
States steamer Ranger came into the bay
a little later. Great alarm prevailed in this
city and the entertainments were full of
soldiers all day
The cannonadng continued until o clock
this afternoon. 1t was heaviest at 10 o'clock
this morning. At o'clock the Darien was
seen in tow of the Padilla, and it is believed
she had been hit. The government fleet
was handicapped by the absence of the
gunboat Boyaca, the keel of which was
being repaired and it is thought probable
that this fact was known by the Insurgent
General Herrera who decided to attack
Panama In order TO prevent the govern
ment helping General Bertis troops at
Aqua Dulce
The United States steamer Ranger which
returned here at TO O'Clock from Chiriqui,
came within line of fire. During part OF
the heavy firing she was back of Flamenco
island.
A representative of the Associated Press
was informed by United States Consul
Gudger that American interests at Panama
had not been materially interfered with.

is at La Boca. hurriedly completed repairs
and is going out at o'clock The Padilla
has gone. The Ranger left the bay after
the Padilla started, taking the same course
as the revolutionary gunboat. No explain
alton is offered of the movement.
1t is thought probable that a great battle
is being fought at Aqua Dulce. Whatever
the result of this shall be to General
Herrera's army, General Salazar, the Gov
ernor of Panama, said to the representa-
tive of the Associated Press, the revolu-
tionary forces will suffer terribly and an

impossible, even If they are not defeated.
