CRUISER ATLANTA
A Landing Party Meets Colombian
Forces.-Their People Much Excit-
ed.-Camps Appear Permanent.

Colon, Dec. 1.-THE United States
cruiser Atlanta, commander VIM. H.
Turner, returned here today from the
Gulf of Darien. She discovered on
December Is detachment of Col
ombian troops, number ing accord
ing to their statements 1900 to 1000
me.1 at Titunati. on the western side
OF the gulf just north of the mouth
of Atrato river. Turner sent ashore
an officer who conversed with the
Colombian commander. The latter
protestd energetically against the
presence of an American warship in
Colombian waters, inasmuch as war
between Colombia and the United
States had not been declared. and
politely requested the Atlanta to
leave the gulf, that it belonged to
Colombia. Turner ignored the re-
quest and the Atlanta returned to
Colon to report to Rear Admiral
Coghlan. The Colombians- are clearly
busy with protective and strength
ening measures. Although they have
treated Americans courteously they
resented the presence of the Allan
ta's landing party.
Lieutenant Perlen Perrill was the
officer of the Atlanta sent ashore.
Through the courtesy of the naval
officers a correspondent of the AS
sociated Press accompanied the par
ty. A small schooner containing a
hundred Colombians armed met the
whaleboat conveying the American
party and the commander told Per-
rill that Gen. Daniel Ortiz, comman-
der in chief of the Colombian forces
of the Atlantic and Pacific had a
large camp a mile away on the
mountain. He requested Perrill to
land and confer with the General.
Atlanta, Perrill started toward the
shore. Great excitement prevailed
among the Colombians as the party
approached the shore. and there
were CRIES Oh viva COlOmDldA anu
a sudden concentration of Colombian
soldiers on the beach. For some
time the situation had the appear
ance of an ambuscade. When Per-
rill went ashore General Ortiz insis-
ted that he fly the Colombian flag
at the bow of the whaleboat or low
er the American flag at her stern,
because she was in Colombian wa
ters. Perrill replied that he did not
have the Colombian flag and refus-
ed to lower the stars and stripes.
Ortiz then protested in writing
against the presence of an American
war ship in Colombian waters, and
Perrill conveyed to Commander Tur-
ner the message. During the confer
ence ashore Perrill was surrounded
by Otiz's staff while few PAGES in
land there was formed a semi-circle
of armed sentinels. The beach in
both directions was also lined with
sentinels. Perrill was not allowed to
leave the point where he had landed
TIL Colombian camps appeared to be
permanent.

Washington, D. G. Dec. 17-In the
senate today Senator Hoar spoke on
his resolution calling upon the Pres
ident for the information in his pos
session relative to the status of Pan
anna when the treaty with that coun
try was negotiated. Anxious as he
was to have the great water way
built, he was even more anxious that
it be built without taint or suspicion
of national dishonor. He declared
that what we wanted to know was
whether this government knowing
revolution as about to take place
permitted it to go on without inter
ruption and whether it prevented Col
ombia from stopping it.
Senator German ridiculed the
Panama resolution and claimed that
the administration had suppressed
information. He sharply attacked the
administration and intimated that
the course entered upon was for the
purpose of securing partisan advan-
tages for the approaching presiden-
tial election. He concluded by say
ing that the arms of the United
States should not be used to sustain
the fortunes of falling party. Fora
ker said that Hoar's speech should
have been made in closed session.
Such a course would have been bet
Ter patriotism. especially as he crit
icized the president.
Tillman asked whether it was true
that FIVE thousand troops were being
mobilized to march ON BogoIa. lin

House Had Adjourned Until Friday
and Recovering Declared
Out Of Order.
SENATEs NOT YET PACIFlED
Henry VI. Teller Got All the Vote
That Was Coming Yester-
day, but His Election
Is Not Yet.

Denver, Colo, Jan. III. Ajoint ses-
sion OF the two branches OF the general
assembly or an election of senator was
held today but only the democratic
members participated and there was no
election. Several members objected
TO the proceedings on the ground that
a joint session was irregular and Ave
democrats besides Mcclure refused to
vote for senator. On the joint ballot
45 votes were cast, all being for Henry
NJ. Teller. The session then adjourn
ed until noon tomorrow.
Republican leaders claim that any ac-
tion OF the joint session may take is
illegal and invalid as the house had ad-
journed. They agreed TO an adjourn
ment Of the house until Friday in ord
er to give the two senates a chance to
make peace. All efforts to bring the
two senates together have proved un-
availing. After the house adjourned
without permitting the joint session,
the point was raised that no ballots to
be taken on subsequent days would be
valid because the statutory provision
had not been complied with today.
1t was then admitted that when the
two houses did meet ii would be neces-
sary to go ahead with the balloting and
that one ballot must be taken on each
legislative day thereafter.

ANY Election By That Body Not Rec

Denver, Jan. 2l.-The most pro-
nounced development in the condition of
deadlock IN the senatorial situation this
morning was that announcement that
committees had ben appointed by the
the republican and democratic senates,
as well as the house, to meet together
at 10 o'clock this morning and endeav-
or to reach some conclusion that will
clear the situation and enable the
legislature to come together in joint
session for the purpose of balloting
for United States senator to sue
ceed Henry NJ. Teller. The time for
such joint session being noon today,
and the fact that it was understood
that the house would refuse to meet
in joint session unless the senate had
reached settlement of its dispute over
the questeion of what persons We're
entitled to seats by that time, made it
necessary that something be done, and
the conference was arranged for
Another fruitful influence was the
report, which seemed well founded,
that overnor Peabody had notified
Lieutenant Governor Haggott, who has
presided over the republican senate,
that he would not recognize that body
nor issue certificate of election to a.
senator elected by it.
The house and republican senate re-
manned In session until about 10 o'clock
last night when they adjourned until

body met in the room of the lieuten-

above ALL" he said, Il was struck
with the magnificent charity of the
Americans and their immense gifts to
educational institutions and hospitals.
Their willingness, even their anxiety
10 spend money In aiding others, is
almost beyond belief"
Next to this condition, DR.. Lorenz
said he has mary elled most at the large
number of alleged healers In America,
naming Christian scientists and faith
curists of every description, who seem
TO flourish there. The doctor was en-
thuslastIc with regard TO the practice
of medicine In the United States and
declared that American doctors nurs-
es and hospitals lead the world.
American physicians represent pro-
gressiveness." continued DR.. Lorenz,
while the English physicians are ex-
trrmely conservative, In America 1t
was difficult to accommodate the doc
tors and students who desired to at
tend my clinics, whereas during my
last week In London many of the most
eminent surgeons showed no interest
in the new methods, while others, who
We're present, declared the old way to
be the best"
DIR. LorenZ said In conclusion that
he anticipated revlslting the United
States, but II was impossible for him
to tell when he would have the oppor-
tunity.
