A Protest From Germany.
(By the Associated Pres.)

Berlin. Feb. THE Foreign Office was
informed today that the Associated Press
had issued for publication the text of the
replies OF all the European courts eX-
cept that of Germany, 10 the request OF
Spain for concerted action by the powers
sent out March %, 1898. from Madrid.
The Associated Press correspondent here
asked for the text of the German answer
10 this request. The Foreign Office said
that the answer of the German Govern
ment was made orally by the German
Ambassador at Madrid. The answer was
that Germany could not take the initta-
tive and must wait the action of the other
powers. Subsequent events made a
further answer unnecessary.
The Foreign Office called attention to
cablegrams from Washington, saying that
the British embassy there admits making
a second proposal April H. 1898, but with
no evil intentions against the United
States. The Foreign Office added:
1--WE fully recognize the fact that Eng
land had no evil intentions against the
United States. The German Government
far from imputng such intentions on the
other hand, and simply upon the basis OF
the documents in the ease, protests
against London imputing 10 Us intentions

INSURGENTS GIVE NOTICE.
Colon and Panama May Soon be Attacked Tie
ConsuIs to be Warned.
(By the Associated Press.)

Panama, Colombia. Feb. Col Julian
Del Castillo, an envoy from General
Herrera, the insurgent commander, ar
rived here last night, escorted by police
and left Panama at 10 O'Clock. Governor
Arizona received important papers from
Col Del Castillo for himself and the
foreign consuls. conference OF the
consuls is in progress.
The note from General Herrera was
addressed to the American, French, Brit
ish and German consuls here. In it Cen
eral Herrera claimed, among other
things. that the Government Of Senior
Marroquin. the President Of Colombia,
was not lawful and that, therefore, the
rebels, although depIoring the bloody re-
suits Of the war, would fight to the end
for the ultimate success OF the Liberal
principles.
General Herrera proposed that the
consulS addressed ask their respective
governments TO declare the line OF the
Panama Colombia railroad to be neu-
trail zone. within which the Government
should not build entertainments or the
Liberals attack, and that only q police
force be left to guard the line. General
Herrera said he proposed, If possible.
to compel the Government to attack the
Liberal forces, and that the Liberals had
a strong fleet and army, provided with
cannon. etc. General Herrera also de-
clared in his note that the Liberals con-
sidered the capture of Panama and
Colon TO be absolutely necessary for the
development Of their military plans; that
they would act to obtain such results,
and that in due time they would notify
consuls of such proposed action, allow
ing twenty-four hours for foreigners to
take refuge at place of safety, to be
agreed upon with the consuIs, and that
the point so selected would not be fired
upon.

Walker Before the Canals Committee
fRy the Associate Press.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 7.-Amiral
John G. Walker, Chairman of the 18TH
mian Canal Commission, testified before
the Senate Committee on Inter Oceanic
Canals today.
Admiral Walker spoke at some length
upon the engineering features of the two
canals. Senator Morris questioned him
especially with reference to the diff
Guilty of excavating for the Boho dam,
developing the fact that it would be ne
cessary to sink the proposed piers to
greater depth than had ever been done
for such a purpose. The foundation OF
the pier will be 125 feet below sea level.
Admiral Walker thought that in ordi-
nary weather steam vessels would be
able TO make their way through the Pan
anna Canal without being towed, but
that towage might be necessary when
the winds are high. He expressed the
opinion that Brito harbor at the Pacific
end of the Nicaragua route would pos
sess an advantage over the Panama
harbor in that vessels would be imme-
diately able to avail themselves in the
former of the trade winds. while in Pan
anna bay they would not secure this ad-
vantage until towed out TO sea.
