CAN BIB NO WAR.
America Proposes to Protect New Re-
public of Panama.

Washington, Nov. 11.-When Amer
lean war vessels were recently order
ed to Isthmian waters to protect
American and other interests in Pan
anna, specific instructions were given,
by direction of the president, that the
American naval force should main
tain peace and prevent bloodshed on
the isthmus. These instructions were
issued in their broad sense, for it was
the original, and is the present, in
tention of this government to pre-
vent any conflict between the govern
ment of Colombia and the newly es-
tablished republic of Panama.
The administration, in carrying out
this policy, will prevent the landing
at Colon, as well as at Panama, of any
Colombian troops that may be sent by
the latter government to subdue the
Panama republic. Having once recog-
nized the new republic before the
world, the United States intends to
stand by and prevent encroachments
by Colombia as well as by other ma
tions.
Assistant Secretary of State Loom
is, Secretary Moody and Admiral
Taylor, after conference this even
ing, sent instructions to the COM
manders of American ships in Pana-
ma waters directing them in the event
the Colombian government attempted
to embark troops at any of it's ports
with a view to making an attack upon
the New Panama republic, that the
American forces should prevent such
embarkation.
Secretaries Root and Hay had
conference today, presumably in re-
gard to the latest developments in
the isthmian affair. AS he was re-
turning to his home Secretary Root
was asked the direct question as to
whether United States troops would
be ordered to the Isthmus of Panama
He replied that while such a thing
was possible, it was extremely i'm
probable. He added he had made
that answer to a similar question in
New York when he really knew very
little about the situation, and he made
it now for the reason that he knew
nothing more of an intention to en-
ploy troops on the isthmus.

WON'T PROTECT AMERICANS,
Cuban AlcaIde Disposed 10 QuibbIe Over
Terms of Treaty.

Havana, Nov. 9.-There seems to be
considerable disposition on the part
of number of Cuban government Of
ficers to cause trouble to American in
terests in the Isle of Pines Archipela-
go. Several natives said to have been
inspired by Cubans, some of whom
are believed to be in the government
employ, are endeavoring to institute
suits to question titles to realty in the
isle of Pines Archipelago, acquired by
Americans prior to the signing of the
Squires- Palma treaty, which provided
for the cession Of the Isle OF Pines
proper to Cuba, as q quid pro quo for
coaling stations at Bahia Honda and
Guantanamo.
The Cuban alcalde, or sub-governor
of the Isle of Pines, has refused to
lend police protection asked by Amer
lean settlers in several of the small
keys adjacent to the Isle of Pines, on
the ground that, according to a strict
Interpretation of the treaty, these
keys were no ceded to Cuba, and
hence are not entitled to the police
protection asked from the Cuban gov
ernment.

TIED UP BY STRIKE.
Coal Mines of Southern Colorado Out of
Working Forces.

Denver, Nov 11.-More than 10000
coal miners in Colorado went on
strike today for an eight-hour day, in
crease in wages and other conces-
sions. The strike was ordered by the
National executive officers of the
United Mineworkers of America, af-
ter the coal companies refused to con-
fer with union representatives con-
cerning the demands of the men. Of
the idle men, 5000 are in the south
ern coal fields, 1000 in the northern
coal fields and 1900 in Fremont coun-
ty. One hundred mines have been
closed down.
A few Independent properties in
the northern coal fields and elsewhere
will not stop work, since the operat-
ors have agreed to concede the eight
hour day and also increased wages,
Less than 1000 miners will remain at
work according to reports from the
affected districts. The announcement
comes that 600 have gone out in Col
fax county, N. M. The others in that
territory are now negotiating with the
mineoWners.
