FIGHT AT PANAMA
HOT NAVAL BATTLE IN WHICH
GEN. AlBAN is KILLED..
Many Of His Men Are Lost-Government
Boat Fired by Crew and Sank-Phila.
deiphia Is Protecting American Interests
Rebels Try to Land Troops-Five
Gunboats Sank.

Colon, Colombia, Jan. 22.-Via Gal
veston.-A naval battle began at
O'Clock this morning in the harbor of
Panama. General Carlos Alban, gov
ernor of Panama, was killed during the
fighting, which continued for some
time. The government boat Lautaro
was fired by her crew and sank. The
revolutionary fleet consisted of the
steamers Padilla, Darien and Gatien.
They are trying to force landing off
Saoana. The government ships we're
the Chilean line steamer LautarO, the
Pacific Steam Navigation Company
steamer Chicuito and the Panama Canal
Company's steamer Boyaca. The first
named steamer was seized by General
Alban, and the other two have been
chartered by the Colombian govern
ment. The government forces have
been throwing up entertainments. The
United States cruiser Philadelphia is
close to the scene of the fighting.
Some of the men killed on board the
government ship Lautaro have been
brought ashore, where they are being
buried. Fire broke out on the Laurato,
and later the crew of the Philadelphia
went to her assistance and attempted
to put out the fire. While they were
thus engaged the Lautaro sank. 1t is
rebelled, and that the firing of the ves-
sci was an act of treason.
The revolutionary gunboat Padilla,
surprised the Lautaro at the opening
of tho fight, and began shooting at close
range. Many men on board the Lau-
taro were killed. 1t is impossible to
locate the revolutionary gunboat
Gatien. The slow movements of the
Padilla, which are noticeable from the
shore, lead to the belief that she has
been damaged. The government gun
boat Boyaca has just moored to the
dock here. She brings troops from
Chiriqui. She reports that the revolu-
tionary steamers Padilla, Darien and
Gatien drew off when they became
aware of her presence. The Darien is
now said to be in sinking condition.
The death of Governor Alban is deeply
deplored, for he was loved by his SOL
ders and enjoyed the esteem of the
community. 1t is asserted that the
death of the Colombian leader may
have the effect of bringing to the gov
ernment's side large numbers of men
anxious to avenge his loss

No Hope Of Saving Austrian Miners.

Breux, Austria, Jan. 1.-THE water
in the Jupiter mine, which was sud-
denly flooded January IA, when the
escape of 43 men, including the mana
ger of the mine and two superintend-
ents, was cut off, does not subside, and
hope of saving the men has been
abandoned. The disaster was due to
the overlooking of the River Bila near
the mine. Precautions to prevent the
flooding of the mine were taken too
late. One engineer was saved. Sub
sequently nine men courageously went
into the mine second time, and never
returned. Thirty-one of the victims
were married.

HEAVY SNOW IN KANSAS.
II Will Be Of Great Benefit to Wheat-No
Damage to Stock.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. pa damp,
heavy snow began falling in this section
early today. 1t is showing harder in
the northern portion of the state to-
night than in any other portion of the
state, and extends as far north as Fair
bury, Neb. Practically no wind accom-
panes the snow, and the temperature
has been moderate all day. No drifts
have resulted, but the snow is soft and
is wet and packs down solidly.
The beneficial effect of the snow upon
the wheat is incalculable. Wheat was
beginning to show the effects of the dry
weather. While at no time in any
great danger, it needed moisture and
now it has moisture in great abund-
ance. The snow could not have come
at a more opportune time for benefit

HARDER ON FIllPlNOS.
General Bells Order for War in the Strctest
Sense-Day Of Leniency Over.

Washington, Jan Having failed
after two years strife, in subduing the
instruction in Batangas province
which lies juts south of Manila, and
having satisfied himself that lenient
treatment of the insurgents is pro.
ductive of no good results, General T
Franklin Bell, the military commander
in that province, has determined on the
enforcement of the war in the most Wig.
orous and determined fashion, involv-
ing RECOMMENDATION in modified form,
the application of martial law in ali
directions, and the unsparing pursui,
and punishment of the natives who act
as spies and traitors to the United
States. All this appears from a long
report to the war department Just pub
lished.
The Recommendation order is dated at
Batangas, December 8, last. In sub
stance, it provides for the establish
ment of zone around the garrisons
into which the friendly inhabitants are
to be required to come under penalty
of confiscation and destruction of their
property. This is said to be necessary
to prevent the collection of forced con-
tributions from inhabitants by the in
surgents. The military officers are al
lowed to fix the price of necessaries of
life, and it is promised that the people
may return as soon as peaceful condi-
tions are established.
This order is followed by long cir
cular by General Bell to his station
commanders, commenting on existing
conditions and giving them advice how
to proceed. 1t begins with the state
ment that he shares in the general con-
viction that the instructions continue
because the greater part of the people,
especially the wealthier, do not really
want peace. He says that it is regret
table that the innocent must suffer with
the guilty, but the greatest good to the
greatest number can be best brought
about by putting prompt end to the
instruction. Therefore he directs the
application of general order No. 100, in
force dudring the Civil war in the
United States, which practically re-
CARDS an insurgent as guerrilla and
outside the pale of civilized warfare
and subject to the death penalty, wher-
ever such linsurgnt does not engage con-
tinuously in the war and observe all the
rules of war. However, it is provided
that there shall be no executions with
out the approval of superior officer.
Commanding officres are specially en-
Joined to encourage young officers in
hunting down thes insurgents, and it is
pointed out that three is no just cause
for exceptional caution or apprehension
in attacking insurgent bodies wherever
found. At any rate, under existing
conditions, legitimate chances should
be accepted, says General Bell, as ex-
cessive caution will do the army meal
culable harm. The best defense against
the insurgents, he says, is to assume a
vigorous offensive at once; to retire in
the presence of the enemy is hazardous
and discouraging.

said that owing to General Bell i strong

There is strong peace party in the
