NOT VERY SERIOUS.
Not Yet Alarmed
Over Isthmian Affair.
Sec. Root Designated by President to
Deal With Gen. Reyes.
Reply to Latter's Note Will Be Ready
In Few Days.

Washington, Dec. 29.-At a meeting
Of the cabinet, this afternoon, the Pam
lma situation was the principal sub
Jet under consideration. All members
If the cabinet except Secretary Hay,
Who is ill, Secretary Shaw and Attor-
ley General Knox, who are out CT the
tity, We're present.
Secretary Root was delayed nearly
half an hour in his arrival at the meet
ing, having been in conference with
Gen. Reyes, the special representative
If Colombia. This circumstance caus-
I'd it TO transpire that during the ill
ness Of Secretary Hay, Secretary Root
aas been designated by the President
70 conduct the negotiations OF this gov
eminent with Gen. Reyes. Secretary
Root laid before the President the de-
calls of his interview with the Colom-
oian minister. Careful consideration
was given to the Colombian note filed
With the state department by Gen.
Reyes, but it can be said that no an
swer yet has been made to it.
Secretary Root informed Gen. Reyes
hat the reply of this government was
not ready, but that it would be given
o him as soon as possible. Secretary
Root will give the response to Gen.
Reyes when a decision as to it's char
acter shall have been reached.
No intimation as to the contents of
Gen. Reyes note or of the reply OF
this government is given from any au-
thoritative source. 1t is known, how
ever, that the administration regards
the ratification of the treaty with the
republic of Panama as the first step
20 be taken in the entire pending mat
ter. Just now, it is said authoritative
~ there is nothing in the situation to
arouse serious concern.
Gen. Reyes has not indicated to Sec
'etary Root what his intentions are
regarding his future movements. 1t is
presumed he will remain in Washing
on at least until the reply of the
United States to his note shall have
been presented.

len Horses, Several Hogs, Vehicles,
Harnesses, Etc., All Destroyed.
Loss Between $4,000 and $4,000 With
Partial Insurance.

WaterVlile, Me-, Dec. 30.-(SpeciaD
An alarm of fire was rung in from
Box SO at 11.30 Tuesday night, for
blaze in the Wiltshire stables, on Rail-
road square. The stable was Quilted
and the contents lost, the total dam
age being estimated at between $4,000
and $4,000; partially insured.
When the department arrived the
whole interior of the stable was ablaze
and the flames bursting through the
roof in two places. The force at the
MIGRANTS was very poor at the start,
and that with the snow and cold made
it slow work.
Hose Nos. /, 2 and 4 and the Hook
and Ladder responded and lines We're
laid from every available hydrant. At
one time the surrounding buildings
were In great danger, but the pressure
| Improved SO that the fire was confined
to the stable. The fighting all had to
be done from the north side and out
side the building.
There were 10 horses and several
| hogs in the stable, with carriages, har-
nesses, ETC., and nothing was saved.
The fire started about the chimney
| in the office and was discovered by
George Wiltshire, who, with his son
Walter, conducted the business. He
thought at first that he could handle it
alone, and tried to put it out with Il
pail OF water before going for assist
ance. He yelled fire many times be-
fore heard and barely managed to es-
cape from the building. BY the time
people arrived it was impossible To
enter to release any of the horses
Seven of them belonged to the Will
shires and three were boarders, one
belonging to DR.. ]. f. Hill, another to
the WarerViile Tallow Co. and the
third TO Noyes & Goddard
| The building was a good sized one,
with a long ell, the latter containing
1 hay and carriages, the horses being in
i the main Part.
1 The building was owned by Walter
i Wiltshire and was insured for 5000.
He estimates his loss at about $4,000.
The loss on the horses is estimated
at about $500, with no insurance.
The remainder Of the loss was on
the carriages, sleighs, harnesses, robes,
ietc., and is partially insured.
The "all OUT was rung in about /
O'Clock this morning.
1t is reported that Mr.. Wiltshire lost
la pocketbook containing the sum OF
labout $1,000.

KILLED BY HiGHWAYMEN.
Dr.. J. M. Otto of New York City, Fell
ed by Brutal Blow.

New York, Dec. 29.-Dr. J. M. Otto
was found unconscious, early Tuesday.
on the sidewalk at Fifth avenue and
Seth street. The back of his skull had
been crushed and he died soon after
wards.
To all appearances the doctor was
the victim of a highwaynan who had
been frightened off before he had time
to search the dying mans pockets.
A new building is in course of cree
ton where the body was found and a
covering over the walk made the spot
n good one for an assault concealed
from view of the police on every side.
The physicians medicine case was
found by his side and he was evidently
on his way to his office in Second aven-
ne when the attack occurred.
