REPLIES TO MARROQUIN.
n. Buneau.Varilla Says Twas the People
of Panama Who Revolted.

Of Panama VINO Hev0lted.
Philippe Bunau-Varilla, Minister Of tho
new Republic Of Panama to this country,
had something to say at the Waldorf-As-
toria yesterday about the appeal Of Preei-
dent Marroquin Of Colombia to the Amer
loan people.
He begins his address," said Minister
B,nan- -varilla, 1by saying that military
movement, not popular sentiment, was the
origin OF the proclamation Of the inde-
pendence Of Panama. 1t Is obvious to
everybody that this is not true. When
Colombia refused to ratlfy the ttreaty with
the United States she stopped the very life
blood OF the Isthmus Then she has per-
sistently blackmailed the United States,
which has exposed it's soldiers and sailors
for years to maintain her rights in Panama.
"All these things caused the revolt in
Panama Everybody, without regard to
politics or religion, took part in 1t. In maxi
Ing an appeal to the justice of the American
people President Marroquin would do we'll
to begin with the truth.
Mr.. Bunau-v -varilla said that it is not true,
a. some of the papers have had 1t. that
Panama is partly responsible for the Colom-
bian debt, in which English and Dutch
bondholders are interested.
sOnly few years ago, he said, "Colom-
Aia borrowed two and half millions from
the Department Of Panama. which has not
been repaid. Our share Of the bonded noe
are really our debtors"
He does not believe, however, that
Panama was ever liable for any part Of the
Colombian debt. He also said that the
Panama Canal Company was satisfied with
the present course of events and that no in
Justice would be done the company as some
people seemed to believe.

Fiddler Neary's down and out for good
was the word which went along the bowery
yesterday as that thoroughfare's obituary
notice of one of the toughest men, physically
who ever took his medicine" there.
Fiddler Neary died In Bellevue on
Saturday. and when he died he left mighty
few survivors OF his sort, the tougn
'hruisers' who used to earn their hvmg
expenses by meeting all comers In boxing
matches in the permanent fighting ring
resorts of the Bowery's palmiest days
They called him the man with the hardest
head in New York"
And the harder he was punched or
dubbed tho worse he fought, is the way the
police put 1t.
Fiddler" Neary was an Englishman.
His relatives and friends say that he was
born in Green's Village. Birmingham. That
was about fifty-fve years ago. He was
stout, husky lad. and he loveo fight. The
Bowery historians say that he had two
pretty good fights on the other side-one
with Jim Shields, who won. and the other
with Jack Carney. who didn't.
In 1872 Fiddler" came over to this coun-
try. and became one OF the star attractions
in "Owney" Geoghegan's old "free-and- :
easy" in the Bowery. where crowds went
every night to see fights in Geoghegan's 9
permanent ring. Fiddler" Neary stood
up with the best Of the scrappers.
Fiddler" Neary also travelled with
boxing companies that went aound the colln-
try giving exhibitions. 1t is said that he
travelled with Sullivan, Dan Doherty and
cording to one who saw 1t, wasi in Ovington's
stable in Houston street near Broadway
in the sos. Fiddler" had had a dispute
| over money matters with his co usin. Mike
Mulrey, and they decided to fight it out.
| The fight lasted nine rounds and both men
were terribly punished. Neary won.
Eeary got into a number OF fights to
which no admittance fee was charged
| fights in the street One Of these was with
| Stuff McGonigle, a truck driver at Crosby
| and Becker streets several years ago.
| Each took a bale stick and gave the am
| bulance surgeons job.
For ten years or more Neary has spent
his summers doing special police duty es
,, Iron Pier he was a familiar figure. In the
winters he moved back to the Bowery and
did odd jobs around saloons. He couldn't
stav away from the Bowery
When he went to Bellevue Hospital the
other day he gave his address as the Raines
law hotel known as The Morgue" in East
Houston street. He did odd jobs there
and slept upstairs. He died OF general
breakdown His brother Peter, who lives
in Newark. has arranged to have him
buried in Calvary Cemetery this afternoon.
