When France returnedt 0 the des- potism of Napoleon Wordsworth gave up his attempts to vindicate the cause of liberty in France returned 10 his Tory principles.

COLOMBI4 WILL FIGHT.
General Reyes Promtses Boer War for
 Unired states

R.. { -s -. ]
 Colon, Nov. 20. After much difficulty the Associated Press correspondent succeeded this afternoon in interview ing General Reyes, the distinguished Colombian soldier, who came to the isthmus on peace mission represent ing his government. General Reyes said:
 This morning Admiral CoghIan in- formed me officially that the United States would prevent the landing of Colombian troops on any part of the isthmus. promised Admiral Coghlan that Colombia would not take such ac- tion until reached Washington, whither am proceeding via Port Li- mon and New Orleans. I also told Ad- miral CoghIan that if my efforts at Washington failed to bring about some arrangement concerning the present situation on the isthmus satisfactory to Colombia. the United States would have to fight the entire Colombian peo- pie, and that it would be second Boer war. e%Ess
 may propose, when in Washington, plan contemplating the re-entrance of Panama into the Colombian union and the moving of the Colombian capital to Panama City. I am sure that this idea will receive the support of all Co., lombians." .ass
 Asked whether Colombian troops could reach the isthrnus by land, Gen. eral Reyes. answered: .Yes, I can get a hundred thousand men, build roads, and, if it were not for the Americans, could subdue the Isthmians in fort night. I would rather die for the honor and in the defense of the integrity of my country than sit with hands folded and see her lose the isthmus.''
 General Reyes to-day sent 8 cable gram to Bogota advising his govern ment that it was impossible to reach any agreement with the government of Panama, and hence that Colombia's re- lations with that government were sev- cred, and that he, accompanied by the other commissioners, was proceeding to Washington to fulfill his mission.

WOULD KILL ALL AMERICANS
THREAT OF COLONEL TORRES OF
 THE COLOMBIAN ARMY.
Report of the Com mapdsr of ihe Nash- viils on the Landing of Marines at coion-Their Determined Attitude Saved the situation-Torrss' Threat Practically the Making of War on United states. ...-.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The navy de- partnent to-day made public reports of Commander John Hubbard, com lmanding the Nashville, on recent oper- ations of the men under his command at Colon, since the revolution on the Isthmus of Panama was started. These These reports cover the threatened fir ing on the city of Colon by the Colom bian troops under Colonel Torres, which was prevented by Commander Hubbard and the arrival and subsequent depart ure of the Colombian gunboat Carta- gena with four or five hundred troops aboard.
 Under date Of November 5 Command CT Hubbard invites attention to the oc- currences of Wednesday, November 4, wdich, he says, amounted practically to the making of war against the Unit ed States by the officer in command of the Colombian troops in Color"
 He then says that on the afternoon of that day the consul at Colon inform ed him that he had received notice from the officer commanding the Co., lonbian troops, Colonel Torres, through the prefect of Colon, to the effect that if the Colombian officers, Generals To- bal and Amaya, who had been seized in Panama on November 3 by the inde- pendents and held prisoners were not released by 2 o'clock p. nl., he (Torres) would open fire on the town of Colon and kill every United States citizen in the place.
 Commander Hubbard's advice and ac- ton were requested. He advised that all United States citizens should take refuge in the shed of the Panama Rail- road company, and said he would land immediately a body of men, with such extra arms for arrning citizens as the complement of the ship would permit This was agreed to, and at half-past one o'clock a party of forty-two men under command of Lieutenant Com mander Witzel from the ship landed with directions to take the building re- ferred to, put it into the best state of defense possible and protect the lives of the citizens assembled there, but not to fire unless fired upon. The report adds:
 T am positive that the determined attitude of our men, their coolness and evident intention of standing their ground, had a most salutary and decis- i've effect on the immediate situation and was the initial step in the ultimate abandonment of Colon by these troops and their return to Cartagena the fol- lowing day.
 T feel that I cannot sufficiently strongly represent to the department the grossness of this outrage and in suit to oIlrS dignity even apart from the savagery of the threat"

SETTLEMENT NOW LIKELY
ARBITRATION IN SIGHT IN THE
 CHICAGo TROLLEY STRIKE.
Only Two Points Prevented a PeaceabIe Adjustment Yesterday-An Armistice Declared by Both sides Pending Agreement-TSyo Proposals Made by the Company as the Basis for ArbI- tration.
tration.

Chicago, Nov. 2O.-only two points prevented a peaceable adjustment of the Chicago city railroad strike to-day, and the indications tonight are that these obstacles will be finally overcome and that settlement will be reached to-morrow. A virtual cessation of hos tilities has been declared by both sides, while the present peace negotiations are in progress, and as all the interests in the parties appear to be making every effort to bring the struggle to an end, there seems likelihood that all differ ences will be modified to such a degree that arbitration will follow. .l
 Mayor Carter H. Harrison and his aldermanic peace commission, after la boring for three days, succeeded to-day in getting a representative of each of the contending parties to meet in con- ference. All the conferences heretofore have been separate, but at the sugges- tion of Mayor Harrison this afternoon the opposing sides agreed to meet. Col. onel E. R. Bliss, general counsel for the City Railroad company, was au- thorized by President Hamilton to act for the company, and Clarence $. Dar- row, counsel for the union, was given authority to act for the strikers. An hour later the two attorneys held a con ference in the office of Colonel Bliss and discussed a basis of settlement. The result of the conference will be submit ted to the directors of the road to-mor- row morning for final action. The de- cision of the board of directors will then be sent to Mayor Harrison and the al dermanic committee who will submit it to the executive board of the strikers union.
 After the conference between Colonel Bliss and MT. Darrow it was learned that the company had made two pro- posals to the union, as follows:
 First-That the company shall have the right to discipline and discharge it's employees as it shall choose, but this shall not be construed to mean that any discrimination is made against union or non-union men.
 Second-That the company shall formulate the methods by which griev- aIres of it's employees shall be adjusted in the future.
 The understanding is that the conl- pany laid down these proposals as the basic principles which must be granted by the union before further negotia- tions could be entered on.
 k MT. Darrow submitted the company 5 proposal to the union, after which he said that the strikers had accepted the proposals of the company, with imma- terial notifications.
 In their turn the men submitted a proposal on the routing" of cars. This is the matter that will come before the board of directors of the company to- morrow morning for consideration.
 Four of the company's trunk lines were kept open for traffic to-day, the cars being run under police protection.
