HAVE RIGHTS
Commander Mclean Now at Panama. Is Not Backward in His
Dealings With the Colombian
Government

BANANA. Colombia, Sept. 21.-As far
as can be learned in Panama,
there has been no friction what
ever between soldiers of the Colombian
government and the American blue
jackets who are guarding the railroad
thefe. The government ordered its
soldiers to place obstacles on the tracks
TO aid in stopping the trains, which
measure was taken TO prevent the revo-
lutionists from boarding trains and
surprising the garrison at Panama or
Colon as they did in 1901. Commander
Mclean OF the United States cruiser
Cincinnati complained of this measure
to General SalaZar, commander of the
government forces on the isthmus. To
this complaint General SalaZar replied
that he would attend to the matter and
ordered his soldiers to cease placing
such obstacles.
Orders Not obeyed.
It seems these orders were misinter-
preted at Colon. where Commander Nc
Lean saw an obstacle placed on the
railroad track last Thursday. Two sol
diers who stopped train 60 inspect II
at Monkey hill, just outside of Colon,
acted without superior orders and are
reported to have been severely punished
for so doing by General Feran. 1t was
after this occurrence that Commander
Mclean declared the traffic over the
isthmus to have been interrupted and

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 21-This was
a dav of funerals in Birmingham, the
remains of thirty-eight victims OF the
panic in Shiloh church being inferred
in the various cemeteries for negroes
around the city. All the negro churches
were crowded. and the naturally eXcit-
able nature of the sOuther1 negro was
wrought to a high pitch by the eu-
logistic sermons over the dead bodies
at the various churches
The death list is now known TO num-
Der los. and 100 of these have been
Identified. The police assert that In adj
dition at least five bodies We're taken
TO private houses. This would swell
the number TO 10. In nearly all OF
the churches for whites sums were
raised today to assist the negroes who
are una Bile 10 give their dead proper

been accumulated

decided to place American guards on
the train. Friday. the 18th. Command
eT Mclean sent communications TO the
Colombian government and to the in
surgent general. Herrera, in which he
said in part:
mo armed men except naval forces
of the United States will be allowed on
or to use the railroad line"
Created Some Feeling.
This declaration that the railroad
could not be used for transportation of
armed government troops has created
resentment in conservative circles
where il is considered as an attack up
on ColOmbia's sovereign rights on the
isthmus. General Salazar declines to
express any opinion on the subject.
General Quintero, General SalaZar' S
most able lieutenant. has been sta
toned at Colon. He seems to have
established very cordial relations with
Commander Mclean. who invited him
TO lunch on board the Cincinnati. Gen
eral QuinterO reciprocated this cour-
tesy Friday in Colon.
1t is reported that General Salazar,
in a communication addressed yester-
day to the acting American consul here,
insisted that Commander Mclean
should guarantee to him the rights OF
the Colombian government to transport
troops and munitions of war by rail
across the isthmus. General SalaZaT
has received no answer to this COM
municatiOn.
