nation as Yet.

maIIOn as SIe
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Only meager
details of the fighting between the yes
sells of the Colombian government and
those of the insurgents in Panama bay
were received in official circles today.
They consisted of a. dispatch from Con-
sui General Gudger at Panama and an
other from Capt. Mead, the commander
of the cruiser Philadelphia. which is ly-
ing in Panama bay. Capt. Meads dis
patch said:
''The insurgent steamer PadIlla attack
ed the Lautero yesterday morning at
close quarters. Crew has deserted her
Is now on fire and sinking
The officials of the state and navy de-
partment are watching the outcome of
the contest with considerable interest.
1t is believed that fuller reports will be
received by tomorrow morning.
At the Colombian legation great regret
is expressed by the officials there at the
death of Gen. Alban, the governor of
Panama He had proved a very sue
cessful officer, and in the recent opera
tions incident to the capture and sur
render of Colon by the rebels he had
played a conspicuous part. He was about
fifty years of age and a man of brilliant
attainments. Formerly he had been at
torney general of Colombia.
DR.. Silva, the Colombian minister here,
has been assured by the state department
that anything in the nature Of a bonn
bardment of either of the isthmian
towns, with it's accompanying danger to
American interests and interruption to
transit would be prevented by the Amer
lean naval representation in that quarter
The legation officials therefore feel sure
that in case the revolutionary feet is
victorious in destroying the government
vessels, the victory will end there.

on self-confessed embezzlement of $40 con

Until this morning, when the cashier.
was called to the bank and the facts
laid before him. He stated that he had
expected this result, and admitted the
charge. He said the amount was about
$4,000, and turned over stocks and prop
erty to the amount Of $4,000
Il have been thinking over this mat
ter for several days." he said land have
come to the conclusion to acknowledge
all. 1 suppose 1 will have to make the
best of it,
He requested that he be not arrested
in his home city. and asked that an Of
fcer be sent to Helena with him, where
he would deliver himself to the United
States marshal. This request was COM
piled with, and he left on the morn
ing train, accompanied by Sheriff Ben
ner.
The money was drawn from the East
ern correspondents of the bank, and the
accounts here falsified to keep up the
check. Some days ago the first intIma-
tion was had by President Curtis, who
at once reported the matter to St. Paul,
and next to the comptroller Of the cur
rency.
There could not have been a greater
shock to the community than the an
nouncement that Matteson was a de-
faulter. He has been one of the most
public-spirited citizen in the place. Last
spring he was elected member of the
city council. He was secretary of the
Business Mems association, and held sew
eral ether positions of responsibility. He
has been with the bank since 1889.

OF Cornell university, president of the

President Mckinley, came over to the
ranks of the ant1-imperialists at a meet
irg Of the Massac chusetts Reform club
this evening. He spoke for over an hour
on the question. Can the United States
Withdraw From the Philippines With
Fcnor?" He said This is the greatest
question before the American people to-
day, and is likely to be until it is settled
and settled right"
In gIancing at the future and judging
from the past and present conditions
he saw nothing ahead but growing lib
erty eliminating in independence. He
said the United States. or at least Presi-
dent Mckinley, had no other motive
when the Philippines were taken from
Spain than a humanitarian, and he felt
that nothing but a righteous cause
would have justified such an expenditure
of blood and money" If we had any
other motive he did not see how history
could ever acquit this country of delib
crate manslaughter. He concluded by
saying that liberty and independence
are one and inseparable."
