Holombians Protest Against
landing Of Big Force Of
United States Marines and
Bluejackets.
GEN. SALAzAR'S NOTE
VIII Hold Captain Mclean Re-
sponsible for His Course-Seo-
rotary Moody Makes a State
ment-No Ulterior Motives.

Concentration by the United States Of
about 1000 marines and biuejsckets on
the Isthmus OF Panama. together with
the assembling Of several ships in the
harbors OF Colon and Panama, has
aroused serious fears of Colombia as to
the real intention Of the United States
Government there.
Several kilograms have been received
in this city asking the reason for the
unusually imposing demonstration of
the power OF the United States on The
isthmus. and declaring that the belief
is growing among the Colomblans there
that tire intention Of the United States
to seize the isthmus, drive both the gov
ernment and the insurgent forces off
and thus obtain possession Of the terri
tory upon which the Panama Canal Is
located without paying anything to the
Colombian government.
Absurd as this belief is, Il Is We, evi
dent that it is widespread, even among
the officials. Even General SaIazar the
governor OF Panama. has found n nec-
esssry to send note to Commander Nc
Lean OF the Cincinnati announcing that
he considers the landing of United States
Marines as an attempt 70 assume the
sovereignty Of Colombia, and hat he not
only protests against il, but will hold
Commander Mclean responsible for what
may happen as the result of the pres
ence OF the marines
Moody Denounces Rumors.
When this situation was called to the
attention OF the Secretary OF the NAVY
Moody this morning. he said: There is
not 3 word Of truth in any runors that
the United States has Interior insen-
tons in connection with the sendiu- ~
troops 70 the fsthmuS. Nothing Is To- 10
attempted further than the discharge Of
the United States treaty obligations ~
maintaining transit on the ratiros a
against interference
1t is pointed out that the reason
first actuating the United States Govern
ment In sending large force TO the
isthmus was the receipt of news of the
success of the insurgents against the
government troops in two or three i'm
Portant engagements and the capture
by the insurgents OF the only govern
ment war vessel on the Pacific side This
1 'O14O"eH oy lHe news that the IN
surgents were advancing toward the
railroad with the evident intention OF
the line the theater of warfare
and attacking the two cities OF Colon
and Panama. where American interests
were very large.
4 Strong Force Imperative.
This situation, taken into connection
with the reports that the government
forces were outnumbered by the rebels
made 1t imperative. In the opinion OF
the officials here. that the United States
should have strong force present If
the insurgents should capture a station
along the railroad it would become nee
essary for the United States to dislodge
them.

Howard Terrell Discovered With Two
Revolvers on His Person.

Howard Terrell, young man about nine
teen years of age, who claims to be resi-
dent Of Texas, Is poorer to the extent of $50
today as a result of visit to the first pre-
cinct police station on an invitation extend
ed by Policeman s. l.. Cooper last night.
He was required to put up that amount to
secure his release on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons.
The officer walking along It'll street
northwest last night when he noticed Ter
rell, just ahead Of him, with both sides Of
his coat bullying out. The officer watched
the young man, and in a few minutes he
saw that the bulge on each side of the coat
was caused by two revolvers, one of which
he had fastened on by means of cartridge
belt. The belt contained a number of car
tridges. He was escorted to the station
house, and during an interview with
Cooper Terrell explained that he came to
Washington about a month ago from New
York city, where he had won 5000 in re-
volver match. He said he came to Wash
ington to see if he could arrange terms for
a match with some of the revolver cracks
here.
The young man did not respond when his
name was called in the Police Court this
morning, and the collateral was declared
forfeited.

BURGLARS TAKE NIGHT OFF.
Police Vigilant, but Nothing Doing In
the Roeuery Line.

There were no burglaries last night, so
far as reports received at police headquar-
tiers today showed. Extra duty was per-
formed last night and the police had the
city well covered. Numerous complaints
were made by residents of Capitol Hill be-
cause the electric lamps on East Capitol
street were not lighted, the street. 1t was
stated, being In an ideal condition for bur
glars. Fortunately the rogues took night
off and were probably not aware that the
street was in darkness.
This morning the police were informed
that a man had been seen to jump from the
porch in rear of the home of Mrs AchStack
316 Sth street northeast, about IL 30 o clock
last night. An investigation was made by
the police of the ninth precinct, who failed
to find any evidence that man had jumped
from the second-story porch TO the soft DIRT
In the yard below.
Detectives Hartigan and Baur were stand
ing near the corner of Az street and Penn
sylvania avenue about 2 o'clock this morn
ing, when their attention was attracted to
colored man who was following white
man who was under the influence of liquor
The officers kept the couple in sight until
the colored man saw a policeman approa ch
patrol box and turn in, and then he darted
down basement. Detective Hartigan went
down the steps and brought him up TO the
sidewalk, where he was called on for an
explana ton. His explanation did not sat
isfy the officers and he was taken into Gus
tody. A razor was found In his coat pocket.
Later in the day. when the man appeared
in the Police Court on a charge of carry
ing a concealed weapon, he said that he
was Alexander Quarles, and that his home
was in Wheeling, w. Va. Quarles explain
ed to Judge Bundy that barber friend
gave him the razor last night to carry
home, but he was arrested before arriving
there. He will not have a chance to go
home again for nearly a year, bat will
spend 300 days on the farm in default OF
