United States Consul General Found
Trouble Rife at Aguadulce-
Panama Cut OFF.

Under date OF August 4, the United
States consul general at Panama reports
to the State Department that the peace
commissioners who left Panama for
Aguadulce, July 90, found severe fighting
there upon their arrival. After re-
manning there two days, and being un-
able to get any communications from
General Herrera. they returned to Pana-
ma without accomplishing anything.
Another dispatch received at the State
Department from the consul general 1T
Panama. Colombia, dated August 4. re-
on July 20, and continued until July 81.
On which day there was an armistice
for several hours for the purpose of
caring for the wounded and burying the
dead. He says:
Government Forces Surrounded.
The government forces are said 10
be practically surrounded by the revolu-
tionists. who have cut off all communi-
cation with Panama and the outside.
The Padilla. a revolutionary gunboN. is
at the mouth of the river guarding the
entrance to the port. In addition they
have number OF soldiers there. and
it is said have captured the port some
two miles distant from Aguadulce.
"On the morning of the Goth of July
the Chucuto and Boyaca, government
vessels. started to go into the river TO
take soldiers. provisions, etc. TO Aqua
dulce. They were met by the Padilla,
and after some firing the Chucuito left,
and arrived at Panama the next day
The Padilla chased the Boyaca In
southerly direction, and from then until
now no word has been heard from her.
She had q limited amount OF coal and
provisions, and in addition to her crew
had on board some two to two hundred
and fifty soldiers.
"As the Padi!la returned to the mouth
OF the river, the supposition is that the
Boyaca was not captured. Not hearing
from her, the government has serious
apprehensions that she is either in dis
tress on the high seas or stranded some
where"

MAKESGERMANSANGRY
EngIand's Statement of Attitude
of Powers Is Resented
By Teutons.

Berlin. Jan. 26.-The German press
throughout shows irritation over the
alleged British attempts to throw sus-
picion on the policy entertained toward
the United States by Germany before
the outbreak of the Spanish American
war Nearly all the German papers
regard these alleged attempts in the
same light as does the Deutsche Tages
Zeitung.
Dwelling upon the motives which &C
tuated the Interpolation of Henry Nor
man in the British house of commons
on Jan. 20, that paper says:
In the London reports cabled to
New York il is alleged that Germany
was the instigator of a plan to bring
about Intervention by the European
powers against the United States. This
is a direct blow in the face of truth.
But what of it?
TT might, perhaps, on the verge of
Prince Henry's visit, create i'll feeling
| in the United States, in which case
| the object underlying Mr.. Norman's
| Interpolation and the answer thereto
| of Lord Cranborne, as well as that OF
the inventions sent abroad by English
| newspapers, would be fulfilled"

MANILA MERCHANTS ASK
FOR CHINESE LAB0RERS

Manila. Jan. 26.-The American
chamber Of commerce here has formu-
lated an appeal to congress in which
it earnestly prays for the enactment
of laws allowing Cinnamon to enter the
Philippine islands under such restric-
tions as the United States Philippine
commission may enact. The present
restrictive law concerning immigration,
continues the appeal. is of no benefit
to the Filipinos.
Cinnamon. if admitted, it is argued,
would not enter into competition with
the local labor and their entry into the
islands is imperatively needed as the
tobacco, hemp and sugar lands of the
archipelago are only partly cultivated
Without this legislation the country
cannot be properly developed. Build
ing in Manila las been badly retarded
! because of this lack of labor and for
| these reasons the American chamber of
! commerce, composed entirely Of Ameri-
/ can citizens. representing commercial
! interests. respectfully requests immedi-
ate action in this matter.

FUGITIVE SURPRISES
SHERIFF BY SURRENDER

Pana. Ill, Jan. 26.-Sheriff Miner of
Shelby county was surprised today by
the surrender of a fugitive whom he
has been wanting for more than a year
and for whom he went to San Fran
cisco three weeks ago.
The man is George Larson. and he
is wanted by the United States army
officers for desertion while on duty in
Porto Rico in 1899. He was once ar
rested after having reached his old
home and taken to jefferson barracks,
but escaped within few hours and
was next heard from near Shelbyville,
where he and a man named Barker
were arrested for stealing from a
freight car.
Both prisoners escaped, however.
Barker was recently arrested at San
Francisco. For the last three weeks
Larson is said TO have been hiding at
the home of Joe Gardner at Lithia
Springs and claims not TO have been
outside the county since his escape.
