FRENCH SAVE PANAMA
CRUISER PROTECT PREVENTS bonn
BARDMENT OF ISTHSIIAN CITY.

SAN FRANCISCO, April S.-Panama
was saved from bombardment the night
of March IA by the French cruiser Pro-
tet. News to this effect was brought
here today by the British steamer Colon
bia, Capt. Haeth, which was at Panama
two days after the incident.
Flushed with their victory over Lau-
taro and other government vessels the
morning Of Jan. 20, the insurgent steamer
Padilla and two small consorts had been
preparing at a port Of Colombia, south
Of the isthmus, to lombard and take
Panama. The cruiser Philadelphia hav-
ing withdrawn her short battalion and
moved southwark, the way seemed clear
for the rebels, but they failed to take
cagnizance Of the French cruiser.
Word was sent to the Protet that the
insurgents contemplated a bombardment
OF the city. and her commander prompt
ly caused word to be sent to the rebels
leader that if such an attempt was made
during her stay in the port the Protet
would sink the Padilla and all other IN
surgent vessels that could be found.
The rebel commander paid little atten-
ton to the threat, and in the darkness
Of the night Of March IA the Padllla
and her consorts steamed up for the
south, heading for Panama with decks
ready to open fire when the Protet's
searchlight found her. The Protet pre-
pared for action. but when the insurgents
saw that the Frenchman was in earnest
they turned and sailed out to sea without
firing a shot

SHOT IN THE LEG
ED BERNIE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED
BY GEORGE CAS-
SIDY
HAPPENS IN A DRUNKEN ROW
Man Who Did the Shooting Has Not
Been FOund-Had just Com
pIeted a States Prison
Parole.

During drunken row yesterday after
noon, Ed Berne was shot in the left
ankle by George Cassidy. at 1917 Fourth
street south. Berne was taken to the
city hospital in the South side patrol
wagon. The wound was inflicted by a
38-caliber revolver. The bullet pierced
the inner side Of the left ankle and
lodged there. The doctors were unable
10 find the bullet.
It seems, according to the story Of
Berne, who seems to care very little
about discussing the affair, that he was
saving wood when Cassidy began quar-
reling with him. Cassidy fired two shots,
one lodging in Berne's ankle. Cassidy
is an eX-convict, and only a few months
ago completed his parole from prison
Until short time ago he was employ
ed by BardWell-Robinson company. He
is well known to the police and has been
under arrest or surveillance several times
within the last six or eight years. He
sometimes goes by the name of Charles
Cassidy. Berne Is a brother of John
Berne, who about a year or more ago
was sentenced to twenty years at StillWa-
ter for highway robbery He at one
time was one Of the city's dog catchers,
and by the police is said to have a
bad reputation.
searching for Cassidy. Some of the de-
tectives have been watching the district
in which Berne and Cassidy have been
making their headquarters, believing
that there is a gang there who might
be able to unraVel some of the bUTglaries
that have occurred in South Minneapolis
of late. Cassidy, the police say, has
been living at 1922 Fourth street SOUTH
and has been spending most of the time
with a gang Of can rushers"

OsTRICHEs AS POLICEMEN.
Big Birds in Florida Are Taught to
Guard Their Mates.

Away down in Florida there is a big
ostrich farm, where Ostrichs 1--we very
nearly Ike they do in the desert, only
they have houses with roads between.
Each pair Of ostriches have q separate
house for themselves, for You know os-
triches pick themselves out mate when
they are about seven years old, and those
two live together until one dies then
they live alone, for ostriches will never
take another mate.
Sometimes In this ostrich town people
come and take away the baby ostrTches
and the eggs, so they have to be watched
just Ike the houses In the real cities.
For long time the men who owned these
ostriches hired other men to watch them
who walked up and down the lanes all
day and all night.
Now, there was on those ostrich stree %
an ostrich named Jerry, who had lost his
wife, and as he couldn't sleep for sorrow
he used to follow the Waterman PIP and
down the lane for company.
Jerry saw the Waterman drive away
several people and then ne knew That
those people should not be there, sJ
pretty soon he went out himself and drove
away those who came around. 81 care
full was he that nobody should enter
their streets at night without him seeing
them that the owner found jerry wound
do just as well for a Waterman as p
real man, so he-diScharged the man ana
let Jerry watch.
For two years Jerry walked up and
down the lanes all night alone, sharply
on the watch for any trespasser, whom
he would drive away, either by pecEs
from his bill or severe kicks. Then an
other ostrich lost his wife and COM
menced to walk up and down with Jerry.
the same as jerry had with the watch
man; SO the owner taught the new one
to walk i'm the day time and Jerry at

McSweeny Eloquent in Welcome o

McSweeny Eloquent In Welcome OF
the Chief Magistrate.
CHARLESTON, S. c., April Sat the
banquet rendered President Roosevelt in
this city tonight Gov. McSweeney said in
part:
" The Anglo-Saxon is entering the new
century with the imperial crown of the
as on his brow and the scepter Of the
infinite in his hands. The old South fought
against the stars in their courses-the re-
sisting tide Of the ripening consciousness
Of nationality and world mission. The
young South greets the new era and
glories in its manhood. He joins his voice
in the cheers Of triumph, which are usher
ing in this all-cOnquering Saxon.
" Our old men dreamed Of local suprem-
acy. We dream OF the conquest of the
globe. Threads Of steel have knit state to
state. Steam and electricity have SILENT
ly transformed the face Of the earth, an
Initiating time and space and swept the
ocean barriers from the path of man. The
black steam shuttles of commerce have
woven continent to content
These words are taken from a speech
made at a mementous crisis in the his
tory of a sister state. Civil liberty and
religious freedom have played in our con-
stitution as a trust, and it Is our duty
to be faithful to that trust and move on
and upward until the peoples Of all lands
shall enjoy the same blessings which are
ours.
Threads OF Steel Knit States.
Threads of steel have indeed knit US
closer together, and now we know no
North, no South, no East, no West, but
hand in hand we are striving for the up
lifting and betterment of mankind.
Il want to say in the presence of the
president of the United States that while
we may not agree on many questions Of
policy, We are all American citizens, and
the boys Of the South viii respond to the
call Of their country, which is the call OF
duty, as quickly and readily as those of
any other section. When, four years ago,
America let slip the dogs Of war and sent
her armies and navies to drive the tyrant
from Cuba's wasted shore, together in the
gloom of the CORY trenches and the
ramparts wreathed in fame stood the
sons of the frozen North, who wore the
blue, with those of the sunny South, who
wore the gray to defend the honor Of
their common country.
Side by side and shoulder to shoulder
they fought till the broken power of Spain
in the Western world attested the fact
that the men who made and Withstood

hands over the graves Of their heroes and

cent. 1 was prepared to see that your
farms themselves had increased in a still
larger proportion; that the value of your
lands and buildings had grown up, but
l did not realize the way in which your
manufacturing enterprises had increased,
both as shown in the fact that your man
ufacturing products had gone up over 100
per cent. l did not realize that the wages
paid out had increased rs per cent
Gentlemen, you talk Of progress in
the far West, but I think South Carolina
can give points to some of the states. l
was very glad that In arranging for
your exposition you not only took In the
Southern states, but that you specially
included the islands lying south of the
United States, those islands with which
the events of the last few years have
made it evident we are bound in the fu-
ture to have closer relations. Closer re-
lations for our advantage can only be
secured by making it for their advan-
tage also
And about all that have said applies
to the greatest and richest Of those ISL
ands, the island with which we have
been brought into the most peculiar init
macy and relationship-the island Of
lions with Cuba we give her a marked
and substantial advantage, not merely
because it will rebound to our interest
to do so, although that also IS true, but
ask it especially because the events so
shaped themselves that it Is our duty, as
a great and mighty nation, to help Cuba,
and I hope to see us do our duty.
Governor Greets President.
II shall not try to make you any
speech tonight, because, for your sins
you viii have to listen to me make one
tomorrow. I shall merely thank you
again with all my heart and say to you
that I want you to appreciate that I
mean every word I say, and mean it
deeply, when tell you I have been
touched, more than pleased-touched and
stirred by the warmth and heartiness
with which you have made me feel to-
day that I am one Of you"
The president was followed by Gov.
insolvency, who prefaced his speech by
few words in which he assured the
president that he was as safe from bod
lily harm in South Carolina as he was
in Washington
Capt. WAGNER Gov. Aycock of North
Carolina, and several others made short
addresses. 1t was midnight when the
party broke up, and as the president left
the room he was cheered to the echo,
not only by those who had attended the
banquet, but by the large numbers who
had patiently waited in the hotel par
Iors and outside to catch a glimpse of
him. Upon arriving at his hotel he imme-
diately retired.

II am glad that President Roosevelt has
come to this grand old city, that he may
see and know us as we are. That he may
know and realize that though we may not
agree in politics, we know how to well
come the president of our common coun-
try; that he may know and appreciate
what Southern hospitality means, and
right here in Charleston he will find the
highest type of this old-time Southern
hospitality. We hope that his coming will
be beneficial to all of u.s.
