Colon, Nov 1.-THE government Of
the new republic has asserted itself IN
a manner that leaves no doubt of it's
ability to conduct the affairs Of the
people of the isthmus and elsewhere, if
necessary. No less than eleven irrecon-
cilables were depOrted today. These
persons had been going about the
streets proclaiming that the govern
ment was composed of a bunch OF
non-eXtraditable fugitives from jus-
tice.' and mentioned the peculiar gait
Of several cabinet members, as indi-
eating that the statesmen had at one
time dragged a ball and chain. Fur
Their, these eleven miscreants said the
great revolution was a 'put-up job with
a rake-Off in it for some big mitt ar
fists" and ventured that IF the peO-
pie Of Panama knew where they were
at they would put the whole junta into
a sack and dump them into the bay"
Of course these were very terrible
things 90 say and necessitated some ac-
ton The army borrowed guns from
the vaudeville theatre and cleverly sIr-
rounded the miscreants, who asked if 1t
was a "hOld-up." one Of the miscreants
turned to another an6 said he hadn't
heard that the rOgues' gallery was at
large" The army was unable 10 un-

creantS said but prominent official

The nuiscreants were deported this
afternoon. They were not allowed to go
home for a change of clothing and,
therefore, were obliged to depart with
the same earrings they had been wear
ing an week. They were also refused
permission to say farewell TO their fam
lilies one of them remarked that this
was a great hardship, seeing that none
of them had any family. Colonel Her
nandez Hooligau y Zunara resented the

his sword to the hilt IN the sand before
