THEM
COLOMBIAN TROOPS ARE TAKEN
ACROSS ISTHMUS.
They Were Guarded by American
Marines, Having Been First Dis
armed---PrObable Effect OF the
Great Naval Force Of the United
States in Colombian Waters.

Washington. Sept. 23.-The navy
department is in receipt of the follow
ing cablegram from Commander Nc
Lean of the cruiser CINCINNATI
"Colon, Sept. 22.-The United
States guards and guarantees traffic and
the line OF transit. Today permitted
the exchange of Colombian troops from
Panama to Colon, about 1000 each
way, the troops without arms, in train
guarded by American naval force, in
the same manner as other passengers,
arms and ammunition in separate
train, guarded also by naval force in
the same manner as other freight.
"M'LEAN.'
Officials OF the Colombian legation
here predict that a storm of disap-
proval will arise in Colombia as a re-
suit of Commander McLean's action in
disarming the Colombian troops before
their passage across the Isthmus. 1t
is stated here that Colombia's agree
ment with the Panama Railroad COM
pany specifically provides for the trans.
portation of Colombian soldiers by the
railroad when occasion demands, and
the commanders action is regarded at
the legation here as direct infringe
ment of Colombia's sovereignty over
the Isthmus.
To Prevent Possible Clash.
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 Moody's instruc-
tons, cabled on Saturday, which read ::
ANY transportation of government
troops not in violation of treaty, and
which would not endanger transit or
provoke hostilities, may not be objec-
tionable. The department must rely
upon your judgment to decide such
questions as conditions may arise from
day to day.
Naval officers say the commander ev-
identity believed the transportation of
troops, rifles in hand and cartridge
belts full, might ''provoke" hostilities,
while en- route across the Isthmus, and
create an interruption or traffic.
Americas Big Naval Force
A belief which has grown so strong
that it no longer can be disregarded, is
held in Central and South American
diplomatic quarters here in regard to
this latest, and, in point OF numbers,
almost unprecedented dispatch OF naval
force to the Isthmus. This belief (and
it should be stated that the impression
prevails in spite of emphatic express
sions 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 it's very pres
ence, the continuation of hostilities
along the railroad on any extensive
scale, and soon bring them to a halt
altogether; that the force has been
sent there in anticipation of an early
signature of the Panama canal treaty,
and that it will be kept there to main
tain order and quiet along the strip
from Panama to Colon, which. by the
terms of the prospective treaty, the
United States is to control.

ABOLISH SUB-TREASURIES.
New Financial Scheme TO BE Pro.
posed to Congress.

posed to Congress.
Washington, Sept. 22.-By the time
congress meets in December there will
be developed an entire new financial
policy, which will have the sanction of
the administration. 1t involves no
more nor less than the abolition OF the
entire subtreasury system and the SUBJ
stitiuton of national banks as govern
ment repositories wit. discretion
vested in the secretary of the treasury
to determine the kind of securities to
be accepted, thus eliminating the gov
eminent bond as the only basis for cash
loaned.
Receipts by the government from in
ternal revenue sources may be loaned
to the banks without interest if this is
done before the money gets into the
treasury or one OF the subtreasuries.
Under the new financial policy to be
submitted to congress there is no doubt
that it will permit OF the active use of
the present funds idle in the treasury.
1t would permit the government, in
effect, to deposit all it's available cash
balance in the banks exactly as any
other Business concern would do, COM
paratively speaking, for the daily needs
of the government. The difference be-
tween the government deposits in the
banks and those of private concerns
would be that the government will be
secured by holding the best assets OF
the bank for its own indemnification
SO that if the secretary Of the treasury
did his duty properly the government
would be secure against loss.

Our American Women

well as Baltimore and New York City,
who laughs when you call her
"Sen-ora" A woman friend gave the
story away, says the Philadelphia
Press. and as she takes II good natur-
edly. there is no use keeping the joke
from the public. You see, young as
she is. she elected TO marry man who
was a grandfather or, rather, he be-
came one soontafter his marriage TO
her. She has that deceptive, innocent
type of beauty that gives the owner the
appearance of being about eighteen.
She was looking at the Cuban curios
and souvenirs for sale AT bazaar with
a woman friend and the old woman
behind the wares called her "Senorita.
"NO. no." said the friend. she Is
Sonora" The old woman shook her
head and declined to believe. NO
senorita." she said. "She is a girl she
continued in broken English; "she toe
young and pretty" Eyes, she is
senora." said Mrs. C, wishing tc
tease the younger woman. and. remcm
being the birth Of the grandchild, she
added: shes not only married, hut
she is a grandmother" "Dios, But
these Americans are so progressive"
