of the town, which caused a landing Of
American bluejackets this morning.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press here has just had an interview
with Commander Hubbard of the
Nashville, who said he had offered to
reimbark the American force if the
government troops would return to
their camp on Monkey Hill, where they
passed the night. Col. Torres, how
ever, refused to return to Monkey Hill,
which is situated about a mile from
Colon, saying the place was too un-
healthy for the soldiers, and that it
was necessary for them to come to
town.
Commander Hubbard does not think
the Colombian troops will venture to
attack the bluejackets. who are barri-
caded behind bales of cotton in front
OF the bank and the railroad building
The commander of the Nashville has
distributed about fifty rifles to private
citizens, who with the bluejackets. are
guarding the barbados.
Col. Torres say he is determined to
give battle to any troops coming to
Colon from Panama.
Gen. Gutierrez, one of Colombas
best generals, arrived here to-day from
Cartagena on board the Austrian
steamer Jenny. This has intensified
the situation immensely.
Although Colon was perfectly quiet
last night, the foreign residents here
continue to seek refuge on board the
ships in the harbor, or in the buildings
of the Panama Railroad, which as an
American concern, will be protected by
the forces of the United States.

CHINESE ARE ENRAGED
But Are POwerIess to Resent the In
suits of Russia.

suits of Russia.
Pekin, Nov. 5.-Paul Lessar, the
Russian minister to China, has re-
execution of Maj. Wong, who recently
decapitated a noted brigand in Rus
sian employ, and the disapproval of
Yuen, the Taotai of Mukden, who is
Wong's superior officer.
The Chinese officials here are I'M
able to inform the. Associated Press
whether Russia proposes to withdraw
her troops from Mukden and release
the Tartar general of that city, now
held in custody in his Yamen, if these
demands are granted.
The Chinese are more enraged at the
Russian proceedings at Mukden than
they have been by any events since
the capture of Pekin. Some of the
hot headed members of the council had
advised the Dowager Empress to de-
clare war on Russia, and send troops
to release the Tartar general, whose
detention at Mukden, growing out of
the -decapitatio nof the Chinese bandit
who had enlisted in the Russian serv-
ice, but who fell into the hands of
the Chinese after the Russians had
evacuated Mukden, wounds Chinese
susceptibilities, since it is considered to
be hot only an insult to a high official,
but as insulting to the Chinese govern
ment itself
Better informed officials, however,
realize the helplessness of China and
the madness Of attempting to go to
war with Russia. Their counsels have
hitherto prevailed, though there is much
baseless war talk in the press, and
among the younger Chinese officials.

defraud the company of the amount
of the policies.
The petition also charges that Blair,

TO A MAST
CAPTAIN AND CREW OF THE
SCHOONER LINNELL
PASSED THROUGH HARDSHIPS.
SHIP SAILED FROM FERNANDINA
AND WAS WRECKED.

After Being As Hours in Their Pre-
curious situation and Three Days
without Fresh Water, Capt. Cab
rIeIsen and Nine of His Crew
Were Rescued by the Italian Ship
Gabrielle D'Ali-Their story of
Shipwreck.
New York. Nov. 5.-After being
dashed to the stump of a mast for forty
eight hours, and without fresh water
for three days, Capt. Gabrielsen and
nine of the crew of the waterlogged
schooner John w. Linnell, have reach
ed this port aboard the Italian ship
Gabrielle D'Ali.
Notwithstanding their privations, the
shipwrecked mariners are not suffering
from any serious ill effects.
The Linnell left Fernandina on Oct.
H. and on oct. "a, plunged into a
terrific gale. Owing to the heavy sea
running Capt. Gabrielsen reefed his
light sails. The next day the wind
blew a hurricane. and it was found the
schooner was leaking.
The wrecking pumps were started,
but proved of no avail, and in a short
time there was six feet of water in the
hold. The big seas had smashed the
small boats. and ruined the tanks hold
ing the fresh water. The sailors
plight was made more desperate by
the fear that the vessel would turn
turtle. To prevent this the masts were
cut away, and the crew dashed them
selves to one of the stumps The
vessel was awash, with the exception
of the top of the after deck house, and
the sailors suffered terribly from lack
of food and water. The waves broke
over them continually.
On Oct. &c, the schooner was deeper
in the water. and the gale continued
with undiminished velocity.
On the afternoon of Oct. q Capt.
Gabrielsen attracted the attention of
the lookout on the Gabrielle D'Ali,
and after a hazardous trip, the Lin
nells men We're transferred from the
sinking vessel to the D'Ali.
The Linnell was abandoned in lati-
tude 3016. longitude 1921 by dead
reckoning. and later was reported by
the schooner Advent, which arrived at
Vineyard Haven, Nov. 2.

MATTER OF THE CANAL
PROMPTED PANAMA,
Colombian Congress- Reputation of
the Treaty Caused the Revolt.


the Treaty Caused the Revolt.
Panama, Nov. 5.-The revolutionary
junta last night published a manifesto
addressed to the citizens of the repub-
lie of Panama. saying that the inhab-
itants of the isthmus had done what
was inevitable in view of situation
which was becoming graver daily. 1t
was pointed out that Notwithstanding
the grievances inflicted on the 18TH
mians by their Colombian brothers, the
former had suffered with resignation
for the sake of harmony, and the I'M
ion, and in view of the fact that rep
aration was possible, so long as hopes
could be entertained of an improve
ment in the situation. and of the 18TH
mus ultimately making effective prog
ress under Colombian rule.
The manifesto then refers to the fact
that the isthmus of Panama Melted Co
lombia large sums in customs dues. 1t
was but just to point out, says the
manifesto, that in spite of the large
sums of money collected from the 18TH
mus for fiscal purposes, the latter had
not received the benefit of even a
bridge over any of it's rivers, the con-
struction of a single road between any
of the towns of the isthmus, the cree
ton of any public buildings, as not
even the most infinitesimal part of the
large sums collected had been applied
towards benefitting Panama in any
shape or form.
The failure of the Hay-Herran canal
treaty to meet with approval of the
congress at Bogota is then touched
upon. 1t is pointed out that only a
few public men were opposed to the
treaty, and that their opposition was
due to the fact that it was alleged
that Panama would be the only part
of the country which would receive di-
rect benefits from the building of an
inter- oceanic canal. The manifesto
then continues:
The people of the isthmus, in view
of this notorious situation, have de-
cided to recover their sovereignty, in
order to work out their own destiny
and to insure the future of Panama in
a manner in keeping with the evident
destiny of the country"

O'BRIEN TO GET OUT.
Irish National Decides to Resign
from Parliament.

London, Nov. 5.-William O'Brien,
Irish Nationalist. has decided to re-
sign HE seat in Parliament and as a
member of the governing body of the
United Irish League.
In letter to Father OFlynn, presi-
dent of the Cork branch of the United
Irish League, announcing his decision,
Mr.. O'Brien complains that efforts are
made in many quarters to "thwart the
policy recommended by the National
Directory for the purpose of extracting
the largest possible benefit for the
Irish tenantry under the new land act"
He says in this connection that he
himself has been pursued by many in
terests with a ferocity and hatred be-
You'd that incurred by any Irishman of
this generation.
Mr.. O'Brien's resignation appears to
have been forced by Thomas Sexton,
who controls the Freeman's Journal,
and by Michael Davitt, whose letter to
that paper oct. 4, Indignantly de-
under which the Irish parliamentary
leader sold his Wexford estate under
the new land act.
Mr.. Redmond's action" wrote Mr.
Davitt. turns the whole land act into
a farce"
Other members of the Nationalist
Party. including John Dillon, have
been almost in open revolt against the
land act and Mr.. Redmond, whom they
regard as too moderate. Owing to the
powerful cooperation of Mr.. O'Brien,
Mr. Redmond has been able to retain
the leadership of the party, but with
Mr. O'Rrien'S resignation there is eV-
cry probability of a far-reaching split
in the Nationalist ranks.
Mr.. O'Brien has long been in poor
health, and it required an effort to en-
able him to make a public appearance
or to attend Parliament.
