MACARTHUR DOES NOT
DISCUSS THE MATTER.
War With Germany n Contingency
He Keeps Quiet About.

War With Germany n Contingency
He Keeps Quiet About.
San Francisco, Dec. 27.-Gen. Mac
Arthur returned to-day on the steamer
Siberia from the Hawaiian Islands,
where he has been making military
inspection. One of Gen. MacArthur's
first questions was for news concern
ing the Japanese Russian controversy,
and he listened intently to the infor-
nation given him.
He was then asked, us it true, gen.
eral, that your visit to the islands was
cut short by the probability of war
with Colombian
The General considered the question
a moment and then replied, well I'm
here"
His attention was directed to the re-
cent activity displayed in the transport
service and he remarked:
Il have not been notified about the
transports"
The interviewer called attention to
the fact that Col Jones of the Ha-
waiian militia had quoted Gen. Mac
Arthur as saying that war would come
between the United States and Ger
many, and that the principal fighting
would be in the Pacific with the Ha-
waiian Islands as an objective point.
Gen. Macarthur said firmly and
positively:
THAT Is matter that l will discuss
in no way. You must excuse me-"
In relation to his trip the general
said: "The wealth Of the country sur
prised me, and particularly was
amazed at the enormous sugar planta-
lions"

the largest residences in the city, be-
ing about the first of the handsome
modern homes to be built here. 1t
was valued at $4,000 and was insured
for 81, 600. Most Of the furniture in
the Durant and Stump homes was
saved, though much of it was dam
aged.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
though there is strong evidence that
it was the work of an incendiary. A
lady who resides just across the street
from Browns residence saw a man run
out of the front yard just as the flames
leaped from the rear windows, and she
called to him to give the alarm, but
he ran on down the street. 1t is said
that Mr. Durant also heard noises
whic.4 aroused him, and he was at his
window looking out when the flames
broke out.
1t was quite evident from ethe rapid
ity with which the fire burned that
the house was well oiled Mr.. Browns
family were not at home, being at the
home of relatives spending the night.
1t is not known what their loss will be,
though they had some insurance.

INCENDIARY AT KALDOSTA
BURNED THREE RESIDENCES
Fire Started in One, Was Quickly Communicated
to the Two Others

Valdosta, Ga. Dec. 27.-One of the
worst fires that has occurred in the
residence portion of Valdosta in many
years began in the residence of Jack
Brown, a white citizen, this morning
about 1 o'clock, and consumed it and
the homes OF Messrs. w. ]. Durant
and Joseph Stump before it could be
checked.
The night was cold, and stiff wind
was blowing when the alarm was
sounded. The firemen made a quick
lun to the fire, but were handicapped
by the light pressure on the mains,
though they made a gallant fight.
The house occupied by Brown was
falling in before the alarm was sound
ed. The Durant nome was just a few
feet from it and the Stump residence
was very close. The Brown and Dur
ant cottages were owned by ]. A.
Dasher, Jr., and were insured for ST.
900 each. The Stump residence was

Sad Termination of a Young WOm-
ANS Long Journey.
McKeesport, Pa, Dec. 27.-After a
journey of nearly 1900 miles, which
was to have had it's termination at the
nuptial altar, Miss Lillian Bennett of
Wednesday,, England, to-day stood in
the presence of the remains of her be-
trothed, Ambrose Good, who was kill
ed in the wreck of the Duquesne Linn
tied last Wednesday evening.
The scene in the little darkened par
lor of the home of Thomas r. Good,
a brother of Ambrose, was pathetic.
Just across the street from the home
of Thomas Good stands the cottage
which Miss Benefits intended husband
had purchased and furnished for her.
Tomorrow, which was to have been
the last before the wedding, will wit
ness the funeral.
Miss Bennett Is profuse In her graft
itude for the kindness of the Ellis Is
land officials and others, but refutes
the statement that she is without
friends She says she will likely re-
main IN America.

Panama generally approve the sever
ance of their relations with Colombia.
II they lack patriotism of their own,
they certainly have no love for Co
lombia and are glad to escape her do
minion, their willingness extending to
ready acceptance, after the event, of
all that was done by the City Council
of Panama, which enjoys the unique
distinction, of having by simple ordi-
nance created a republic, so far as the
formal structure of this republic is
concerned From this it will appear
and such is the indisputable fact-that
the republic of Panama exists to-day
in its governmental features, because
it is unopposed. The Junta is govern
ing without opposition, and while the
allegiance of none of the people, eX-
cept the soldiers and sailors, has been
pledged to the new republic, the
Junta constitutes a governing body de
jure because there is no dispute as to
it's authority.
A Reaction Is Certain.
Into the situation created under and
by these contradictory conditions and
methods there enter several elements
of danger. The first and most impor-
tant of these is delay in giving to the
government the form of more certain
acceptability to the people. The peo-
pie are acquiescent now because the
condition is new and novel; but how
long they will remain so is problemati-
cal. The conviction is universal among
them that the United States will begin
actual canal operations at once. Every
body is expecting money to flow freely
within the next few days, because they
have been encouraged to believe that
the establishment of the republic
means the immediate beginning of
work on the canal. This is seen in
divers ways. Hotels whose bars have
been closed since the cessation of canal
work by the French-fourteen years
ago-are preparing to open them within

Many mothers of families in the United
States have reason to be grateful to the
person who recommended DIR. Pierce S
Favorite Prescription. This is a medi-
cine specially prescribed for diseases of
womankind. 1t does not cure eczema,
catarrh in all its forms, nor heart dis
ease, for it is put up for the single blfy-
pose Of curing diseases peculiar to aO0nf-
en-. II has a reputation of over thirty
five years of cures, and has sold more
largely on this continent than any other
medicine for women. Another point in
its favor-it does not contain a single
drop of alcohol or of any narcotic. 1t
is purely vegetable. An alcoholic COM
pound for women is something no wom-
an should take. Womanly weakness
will always bring on nervous irritability
and a nervous condition, for which alco-
hol is the worst thing in the world.
What the woman needs is a vegetable
tonic, like DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, which will build up her deli
cate system and bring about a healthy
tone. It cures the drains and weak
nesses of women and the manufacturers
offer to pay $500 reward for any case of
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolap-
sus, or Falling of Womb, which they
cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial.
If you want to know what ails you
the United States mail will bring you
the best medical advice for only the cost
of writing materials and stamps.
Many people owe their present good
health to the fact that they consulted
DIR. Pierce by letter, giving him all pos
sible information about their condition,
symptoms, etc, and received in return
good medical advice which oost them
nothing. This Is why we advise you 10

Manufacturers Have Decided to Cur

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 27.-A decision
has been reached by the flint glass
manufacturers to close all bottle fac
tories shortly after the first Of the
year for a period of four weeks in Or
der to curtail production and better en-
able the trade to maintain prices. The
report of this decision has caused con-
sternation in glass circles, and partic-
ularly among the glass workers, who
had presumed that their seasons work
was permanently settled and that there
would be no cessation of the industry
for the remainder of the fire. The
agreement, it is said, covers all of the
members of the Associated Manufac-
turers, but, of course, not the indie
pendents, who will continue their OPP
erations.

will be posted sometime during the

few weeks. Owners of renting
property in Panama and Colon, who
have accepted nominal rents from the
natives and nondescriptS, are turning
these people out of their premises in
the expectation that within a few days
there will be such an influx of Ameri-
cans as to send rents booming. Spec
ulation of every sort is rife. based
upon this belief, and upon every tongue
is the slogan, The canal is coming"
To Panamaians, who saw and partici-
pated in the riot of French eXtraVa-
gance and corruption, the fact that
1.-The canal is coming means flush
times and Panama can hardly re-
strain itself until the moment of actual
operations arrives.
From this condition there is certain
to be a reaction. The United States
will not begin canal operations for
months, for if the advice of men like
Admiral Walker, Col William Murray
Black, the army sanitary expert, and
other Americans now here is accepted,
months must elapse, even after the
ratification of the treaty by the United
States Senate, before sanitary condi-
tions can be so improved as to per-
NIT the work Of canal construction to
begin. This means that a season of
dire disappointment, inviting to dissat-
isfaction with the government, is GER
tain to prevail; and facing this pros
pect the government lacks proper rec
ognition by the people. All thought
of creating a government by the for
NAL adoption of a constitution and the
election of administrative officials waits
upon Dr. Manuel Amadors return
from the states; but the wiser heads
believe a serious mistake is being made
in thus delaying. The demand that a
constitutional convention, with repre-
sentatiVes from all the provinces, be
called is becoming insistent, the more
farseeing among the Panamaians be-
lieving that it is essential that the re-
publican government be given a more
substantial foundation, and something
upon which it can more certainly claim
the adherence of the people than is
possible through the mere fact that
it exists now because it is without OPP
position.
Church and state.
Another disturbing factor. and one

Liberals opposed this and the senti-

republic is that, while there should be

! church must look to it's communicates,
and not the state, for support. Among
