The Colombian gunboat BoEota arrived in the harbor after the declara- ton of independence and threw a few shells into the city without doing any damage< to life Or property.
 Perfect order prevails in Colon to- night and trans -isthmian trains are running a sUsual. without interruption
 In Panama the rag Of the new repub-. lie, in cOlors of red, white and blue floats over the government buildings
 The movement for independence has been in progress since the rejection py the congress at Bogoja of the Hay Herran canal treaty, but its sudden ripening last night was due to the news of the unexpected arrival at Col on of the Colombian gunboat at Carta gena with Generals Tovar and Amaya anu d l1ultDEl Ol NIOODS.
 The movement has been promoted by prominent and wealthy isthmians and Governor Obaldia of the department of Panama who arrived at Panama at $40 p. m. Tuesday, computing the troops and citizens in favor of inde- pendence found that they numbered at least 1500.
 The advocates of independence, both at Panama and Colon. are now jubilant. l The presence of the United States gun boat Nashville at Colon is believed to have resulted in the avoidance or serious trouble.
 As a result of conference here. . Col. Torres, commanding the troops ct Colon sent on a special train to Pana-
 ma. a representative to confer with General ToVar. whose unconditional re- ] lease is demanded.
 It is believed that peaceful results will follow d proposal just made Dy Col Torres that the American troops will return to the Nashville if ne i guarantees to maintain order. This proposal was tonight accepted : by Col. Torres.
 General Guaderos. the prefect of I Colon and the senior officer command = | ing the troops which arrived yesterday on the SInDoat Cartagena from Sa- vanilla are maintaining their position
 of refusing to acknowledge the author ! ity of the provisional government Of Panama and the troops still refuse to return to Savanilla.
 The lives of the American residents are threatened.
 American and English families are Hooking for shelter to the railroad buildings.
 Great excitement prevails here. The United States gunboat, Nashville, has landed about fifty blue jackets and a quantity of ammunition.
 The Colombian gunboat, Cartagena, has just left the harbor headed north- east. It is surmised that she is going
 with all speed for Savanilla. The Colombian flag still flies over the prefecture. The flag of the new republic has already made its ap- pearance in Colon.

lives, SZ,5OO,OOO In mill and
other property lost, with 4 900
men indefinitely out of employ
ment is the sum total of the
disaster that has appalled, this
whole section from Clifton to
PacOlet.
Not since the Johnstown flood
has there been such calamity
OF the waters and small wonder
that the inhabitants of this valley
are awed into awful silence at
the scene of desolation that con-
fronts them.
The cIoudburst broke Just above
Clifton early this morning about
6 o'clock. Within an hour the
mills at that point and score of
farm houses along the river had
been carried away and the debris
came with a mighty rush to this
point.
Just above the great structure
known as Mills No. | and 2 is the
dam that confines the power for
the mills. Some idea of the i'm
menslty of the flood may be
gathered from the fact that it is
not known at this writing wheth
er the dam has been washed
away.
Inside of 40 minutes the river
rose from its normal confines to
the fourth story of the first mill
a height of Al feet. The mill
operatives were just going to their
early breakfast when the sound
of a mighty rush of waters broke
on their ears. From their Gotta
ges that dot the hillsides they
witnessed a scene, for there was
actually not time enough for many
of them to get to the banks. that
will live on their memory. With
one great bound the flood surged
down the valley. An ornamen-
tai swinging bridge that connected
north and south Pacolet was
swept away as if it had not the
strength of a cobweb. The mill
operatives, some of whom had
FASTENED down to the waters size
in hopes of being able to get across
to their work, backed up the hill
horror stricken. In five minutes
it is said that the water rose more
than 20 feet.
The Presbyterian church, which
was picturesquely located on the
river side just between the mills,
was the first building to go. It
stood out on little promontOry
OF land that made it a great mark
for the waters. The flood surged
upon it in tWinkling. For a
lew minutes its fine masonry
withstood the battle Of the Mag
ara-iike onslaught, then without
a moments warning the founda
ton gave away and it went down
on the maclstrom as if il had
been made of straws.
Hardly had the fascinated
spectators recovered from this
scene when the little fiat of
buildings comprising the postof.
flee, market, barber shop and
blacksmith shop went down be-
fore the inrushing flood. They
went down in the rush of waters
one after the other so quickly
that the spectators differ as to

BY this time the river had

waters were surging through the
third story windows of the mills.
The walls of the building known
as No. l and 2 mill were seen to
be trembling and the crowds of

The mill No. 3 was the last

structure was left standing that
it is thought can be restored.
