New Orleans, Sept. 22-There will in all

ready for us we will go without any
trouble I know that the men will be
released as soon as they get in jail. for

the protection which the presence OF the
troops afforded. the sheriff's men arrested

DISARMED THE TROOPS
PROTEST MAY FOLLOW ACTION
OF M'LEAN.
Refused TO Allow Colombian Govern
ment Soldiers to Cross Isthmus
on Train While Carrying
Their Rifles.

| Washington, Sept. 22.-Oflcials of the
Colombian legation here predict storm
| of disapproval will arise in Colombia as
| a result of Commander McLean's action
in disarming the Colombian troops before
their passage across the isthmus. 1t is
| stated that Colombia's agreement with
the Panama Railroad Company spectti-
cally provides for the transportation of
Colombian troops by the railroad when
occasion arises and Commander Nc
Leans action is regarded at the legation
as a direct infringement Of Colombia s
sovereignty over the isthmus.
Commander Mclean in having the
troops transported in a separate train
from their arms is acting apparently in
accordance with his construction of that
part of Secretary Moodys instructions
cabled Saturday which read: "Any trans
portion of government troops in violation
of treay and which would not endanger
transit or provoke hostilities may not be
Objectionable. The department must rely
on your judgment to decide such ques-
tons as conditions may arise from day
to day."

troops, rifle in hand and cartridge belts
full, might provoke hostilities' while
en- route across the isthmus and create
an interruption of traffic.
A belief which has grown so strong
that it no longer can be disregarded, is
held In Central and South American d.
plomatic quarters here in regard to this
latest and, in point of numbers. almost
unprecedented dispatch of naval forces
to the isthmus. This belief and it should
be stated that the impression prevails
in suite of emphatic 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 any ex-
tensive scale, and soon bring them to
halt altogether; that The force has bean
sent there in anticipation of an early
signature OF the Panama Canal treaty
and that 1t will be kept there to main
tain order and quiet along the strip

THE PLAN OF Mr.. SHAW
PROPOSES TO ABOLISH THE SUB
TREASURES.
Treasury Department Admits That
Such a Scheme is Being Looked
Into-Stories of Extra
Session.

Washington, Sept. 23.-tSpeciaD-The
publication of story to the effect that
Secretary Shaw is considering the prac-
ticability of abolishing the sub treas
uries and placing all of outstanding gov
eminent funds in national banks has led
to an admission by The treasury officials
that such thing is being really looked
into.
1t is further stated that no definite
plans have been made and the publica-
ito nreferred to was largely of the ma
ture of a fceler the purpose of which
is to ascertain the public views. There
are many objections to the suggestion
of abolishing the sub treasures and the
chiefs plan of being consummated are
thought TO be rather remote.
Stories to the effect that an extra ses-
sion of the Congress will be convened
Immediately after the close of the regu-
lar short session on March are credited
here. 1t is pointed out that the Repub-
lican leaders arc anxious to have a spe-
cal session for the consideration of the
Cuban reciprocity matter and other legs
lation and that such session could not
possibly De productive of good results
if held before the regular session. In the
first place everybody is interested in the
elections, and, too, the session would
have to be limited and it would be pos
sible for either side to kill legislation OBJ
jectionable to it by merely adopting dila-
tory tactics until the arrival of the time
for adjournment. In the opinion of well
informed persons here the chances are
decidedly favorable to the holding of
special session beginning March and
extending over an indefinite period.
