DISCOVERY OF A PLOT.
Reported Conspiracy Against General
liuentas.
SEVERAL MEN ARE UNDER ARREST.
Effort on the Part Of Few Army Off GERS to
Induce tn: Garrison at Panama to Revolt
and Assass:nate the COmmandsr':n-C Chief
President Roosevelt Receives General
Reyes.

Colon (By Cable).-Through letter
the Panama Government has discover
ed what is alleged to have been plot
against the life OF General Huertas,
commander chief OF the forces Of the
Republic OF Panama, and an effort on
The part OF a few army officers to per-
suade the garrison at Panama to revolt.
Ii such plot really existed it was
promptly nipped in the bud by the ap-
prehcnsion at Panama OF four alleged
/ .onspirators, who were Immediately
brought under guard to Colon and
clipped hence to Port Limon, Costa
RIGA.
The prisoners were all born III the in
erior OF Colombia and have been on
| he isth,nus for some years. They were
members of the Colombia battalion
which gave its support to the new gov
.rnn1ent when the republic was form
ID and which was commanded by Gen
ral Huertas. They all took the oath
of allegiance to the new republic and
continued to serve in the army. One 'of
hem is colonel named Ferol, two
ire maj ors and the fourth is the adju-
ant of General Huertas.
They declare that the charge that they
we're engaged i'll conspiracy is the
i work of personal enemies, and that
,ome Colombian who was dcported
rom the isthmus Immediately after the
establishment of the republic Noven,'
scr 3 sent letter from Port Limor
addressed to Colonel Ferol. The COM
! nunication was written in terms i'm
plicating them in such plot. At the
| same time they say the writer advised
some Of the officials at Panama to Sc.
lure and read the letter addressed tc
Colonel Ferol before it was delivered tc
| MIN. This was done. The four prison
| .rs were arrested at the barracks aIlG
lodged in Jail. In the afternoon they
were conveyed to the railway station:
where they were placed on board Q
train bound for Colon.
According to their statesmcnt, they
were not allowed to make any explain
atoms. The writer of the letter, they
say, may have been prompted by 9
desire to injure them because they hac
turned Panamaians, or the whole plot
may have been concocted in Panama
in order to get them out of the country
because, as Colombians, they were dis.
liked here. They do not dare to &C
would be treated as traitors. The gov
crnment will pay their passage to Port
Limon. They are entirely without
funds and have no means of earning a
living, but they express the hope that
ultimately they will be permitted to re-
turn to the isthmus.
Upon arriving here the prisoners
we're placed in jail. The reports in cir
culation that they attempted to assas-
sinatc General Huertas are not true.
Nevertheless. the government doubtless
had some evidence against them suffi-
cient. it is believed, to justify the radi-
ca! step of deporting them.

ARMY AND NAVY.
The effect of the laws providing a
General Staff for the Army and for the
more effective use of the National
Guard has been excellent. Great i'm.
Drovement has been made in the eff.
cheney of our Army in recent years
Such schools as those erected at Fort
Leavenworth and Fort Riley and the
institution of fall maneuver work &C.
c0mplishes satisfactory results. The
good effect of these maneuvers upon
the National Guard is marked, and
ample appropriations should be made
to enable the guardsmen of the several
States to share in the benefit. The
Government should as soon as posi-
BILE secure suitable permanent camp
sites for military maneuvers in the va
riOus sections of the country. The
President then says: 1.-The only people
who are contented with a system Of
promotion by mere seniority are those
who are contented with the triumph
of mediocrity over excellence. On the
other hand, a system which encour-
aged the exercise of social or political
favoritism in promotions would be even
worse. But it would surely be easy to
devise method of promotion from
grade to grade in which the opinion
of the higher officers of the service
upon the candidates should he decisive
upon the standing and promotion of
the latter. Just such n system now oh
tains at West Point" Mr.. Roosevelt
concludes this part Of his message as
follows: IL heartily congratulate the
Congress upon the steady progress in
building ND the American Navy. We
cannot afford let-up in this great
work. To stand still means to go
back"

"Face and form may be perfect

"The functions of the kidneys
and Of the bowels must be nor
mally active it we would insure a
pure complexion. Toe proper ae-
lion Of the kidneys may be usually
gained by moderate diet and free
water drinking.
"Tbe same is true of the bowels,
although IN chronic constipation a
course Of treatment with daily
enemas of warm water, free exer-
else and abundant drinking Of
pure water may be necessary
Constipation is a prevalent dis
order. Few will suffer, however,
II the hiuts herein given are fol
lowed. The best kind OF water is
distilled water, and the proper
quantity is about two quarts each
day, The principal cause of con-
stlpation is insufficient water drink
ing"
