MORE FIGHTING EXPECTED
THIS WEEK ON ISTHMUS

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Passengers from
Colon say that from certain recent events
it would seem that all peace negotiations
will fall through, and from present ap-
pearance matters will have to be decided
by fighting, says a dispatch to The Herald
from Kingston, Jamaica.
Regarding the Insurgent General Her
rera's movements, it is rumored that part
of his army, as an advanced guard, is sta
toned in Chorrera, under the command
OF General Julio Plaza, and that General
Herrera is also advancing with five thous-
and men. If these reports prove true
there will be developments within a week.
General Velasco has estaDnshed his
headquarters, with about 800 men. in
Tavernilla and San Pablo, occupying all
the canal buildings of that section, that
is, about half way between Panama and
Colon, controlling also the Barbacoas
bridge.
General Navarro occupies the heights of
Gulebra with about $50 men, with artil-
lery which. properly managed, could con-
troll the Paradise valley, Pedro Miguel and
Mirahores villages.
In Mirahores there are about 400 men;
in Empire about 500, and smaller detach-
ments in other parts of the line. There
are still many important points left un-
covered, and considerable illness and NOR
tally are already existing, especially in
the Empire section.

WOUNDED ROBBER
CAUGHT IN COLORADO

TRINIDAD, Col, Nov. 1s.-The robber
who was shot last night by Express Mes
senger. W.. H. Schrieher Of Fort Worth,
Tex, was abandoned by his four compan-
ions In their flight and was found early
this morning in the brush not far from
the scene of the ATTEMPTED train robbery
on the Colorado and Southern railway
near .Beshoar, u miles south of Trinidad.
The wounded man was brought to this
city. He was shot In the stomach and 1t
is thought he cannot live long. He has not
been identified and he refuses to answer
questions. The other four outlaws fed to
the mountains and have so far eluded pur-
suit. Et
Railroad men think the bandits intended
to rob the Colorado and Southern express
car, carrying a large amount Of money
which arrived here about an hour ahead
of the northbound passenger train that
was held up. The train was delayed only
about 40 minutes. It showed no marks Of
the battle except few blAlet holes in the
door of the express car,

THE MASONIC TEMPLE
SCANDAL Is REVIVED

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Captain Edward
williams, the former manager of the Ma
sonic Temple, who returned to this city
yesterday after having been in hiding
three weeks, following his conviction In
the Masonic Temple scandal, took the
stand this morning as a witness for the
state in the trial of President James II.
Gormley for conspiracy.
He testified that he had entered into
an arrangement with Luke Wheeler and
q man named Storm, presuming them TO-
represent the county treasurer,s office, to-
secure receipt in full for the Temple
taxes amounting to $26,77017 for $4,000
and that he had done so with the full
knowledge and consent of President
Gormley and Of Director Rush. of the
Masonic Fraternity Temple association to
it's secretary and treasury.
Williams said he had nothing to do
with the drawing of the money for the
$4,000 check. He paid it over to Luke
Wheeler and received the tax receipt in
exchange. The payment, he said, was
made in his office in the Masonic Temple.
He was not satisfied, he testified, with
Wheelers explanation of his ability to
secure the receipt of that amount and
Wheeler agreed to bring one of the prin-
cipal officers of the county directors over.
He appeared later with a man whom he
introduced as Mr.. Storm and said he was
authorized to make the arrangement and
that it was done by re-arranging the per-
sonal property taxes.
Peter Storm, who is presumed to be the
man in question, was an employee of the
county treasurer's office at that time, but
has since committed suicide.
Witness testified that he believed and
still believes that the receipts given him
for the Masonic Temple taxes emanated
from the county treasurer's office.

YANKEE PRODUCTS
FLOOD GREAT
BRITAIN
IN THE BOOT AND SHOE TRADE
AMERICANS SELL BETTER
GOODS CHEAPER THAN
JOHN aULL.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19-While the talk
about the American invasion has ceased
in the press there is, cables the London
correspondent of The Tribune, no lack
of evidence of active competition in many
lines of manufacture. The provincial ho-
tells are filled with American commercial
travellers and agents of manufacturing
firms and there is a large increase in the
number of branch houses established
for permanent operations in the United
GAingdom.
The results of this destructive COMPETE
ton are noticeable in the midland towns,
like Northampton and Leicester, which
have been dependent for their prosperity
upon the boot and shoe trade There has
been a marked decline in the production
for both the home and foreign trade. The
streets of those towns are filled with
idlers and the shoemakers' wages are
falling.
Leicester is more fortunate than North
ampton, since 1t has the hosiery indus
try, which has not been seriously affected
by the increased production abroad, but
it has a large working force Of shoe
makers, now menaced with the loss Of
employment
Northampton is in a sorry plight from
the shrinkage of business!
The fortunes of these towns might have
been retrieved IL the shoe manufacturers
had kept abreast o. American enterprise
and equipped their factories with labor
saving appliances. They neglected these
matters, however, and American boots
and shoes are now sold in England at
prices which cannot be met, either at
Leicester or Northampton.

CHICAGO. Nov. 1s.-Colonel, Cornelius
Gardner. of the Thirtieth infantry, U. S.
A., which went from Chicago to the Phil
ippine islands three years ago, was the
guest of honor at a banquet given by the
Holland society, of Chicago at Kinsley's
last night. After a successful campaign
in the province of Tabayas, which ended
with the pacification of its people, Colonel
Gardner was made governor of that prov
ince and held the position until the ex-
piration of his term of two years.
''The commission sent to the islands by
the United States government has done
a great deal of good and enjoys the re-
spect of all the people over there" said
Colonel Gardner. Judge Taft has sue
ceeded in winning the confidence and love
of the natives, and is by them considered
their stanchest friend. The Filipinos are
good and loyal people and soon learn to
love men who treat them in spirit of
friendship.

HANNA FINDS FAVOR
WITH ALABAMA
REPUBLICANS
"LILLY WHITES" ARE PREPARING
TO FIGHT THE RENOMINA-
TON OF PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 19.-There is
no denying the fact that the Republicans
of Alabama will be found working short
~ for Marcus A. Hanna, of Ohio, for the
next Republican nomination for president.
The action taken by President Roosevelt
against the lilly white" Republican move
ment in this state, as we'll as in other
southern states, has caused much open
talk to be INDUCED in and on all sides 1t
can be heard that the Republicans of Ala
bama are looking for the announcement
that Senator Hanna is a candidate for
the nomination. None of the leaders have
yet given out statement as to the posi-
ton of the Republicans in this state, but
it is stated that President Roosevelt and
the leaders of the party who are with him
in his position toward the party in the
south are not looked upon with much IA
vor the nomination.
1t is stated here that correspondence is
now going on with other southern states
looking to a general Endorsement of Sena-
tor Hanna 1t is also stated that Sena-
tor Hanna has been informed of hearty
friendship in this section and elsewhere
and expressing the hope that the senator
will be able physically to make the EFFORT.
There is much correspondence on also be-
tween Republicans in Alabama and North
Carolina, while Republicans in Mississip-
pi, Louisiana, Arkansas, South Carolina
and Tennessee may be asked questions al
so shortly looking to a general coalition.
The lily white" movement is being
doomed in Alabama and the leaders have
confessed their intention of working on
the lines set out and expect to build up
an organization that will hold the respect
that it gained in the election on the 4th.
The establishment of Republican news
paper in Alabama is anticipated for the
near future a stock company to be organ
lied with ample capital to give not only
a new distributing medium but also
sound reasoning paper. The Republicans
appear to be worked up to a great extent
