Washington, d. c.. Nov. 2S.-Gen-
ombia to the United States on spe-
cial mission from his country, arriv-
ed here this morning. He was met
at the station by the son of Perran,
the Colombian Charge de Affairs,
and they went at once to a hotel.
General Reyes. later, talked with
representatives of the Associated
Press about his mission. He said:
You will readily admit the proprie-
ty of my refraining from discussing
my mission which is one of a conf
Dental character But of the offers
which Colombia is ready to make,
desire to say that my energy and
those of my followers will be devot-
ed to granting canal concessions to
the United States without payment
of one cent. Even at this price Col
ombia would be the gamer"
General Reyes went on TO say
that all Colombia was now afire with
zeal for the building of the canal by
the United States. The unfortunate
political troubles which caused the
treaty's death have disappeared. He
declared that there was great indig-
nation against the trend of affairs
on the Isthmus. He is here to see
what the people of the United States
are prepared to accept in reference
to the building of the canal.
General Reyes said that # the Uni
ted States maintains a neutral posi-
ton the revolution in Panama will
be put down, and that without the
violation of any treaty. President
Marroquin will have no trouble in
raising an army twice as large as
necessary and can march overland to

CARS WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.
Nine Years Ago To-Day Since the
Gar of all the Russias was
Welded to Princess AIix.

Berlin, Nov. 28.-Germans who
well remember. the girlhood days of
Princess Alix at Darmstadt can
scarcely realize the fact that it is
nine years today since she became
the bride of the Car of all the Rus
sias. During the last few weeks
she has again visited the scenes of
her happy youth, looking little older
than when she left nearly a decade
ago. The visit to Darmstadt and
Weisbaden and the return later for
the funeral of little Princess Eliza
beth of Hesse afforded the Germans
good opportunity of viewing the
Car at close range. In all truth it
must be said that the impression left
ly a favorable one. In view of the
conflicting statements that flood the
European press regarding the Cars
personality and the state of his
health the following, written by a
prominent journalist who had facili-
ties for close observation during the
recent stay of Nicholas II on German
soil, is not without interest:
The Car, says the writer, has just
body enough to maintain and sheath
a high strung nervous system. Cne
can hardly realize that he is he, SO
modest. quiet and unaffected is his
bearing. He is refined without 0eing
finical, delicate without affeminacy.
Though extremely impressionable
and emotional. he behaves like a
man of cold nature and keeps under
all circumstances a level head. His
good form was modesty itself, unal-
loyed with shyness and one thought
the disposition most obliging. A pair
of candid, kindly blue eyes bring him
at once into touch with those who
meet his gaze. They are full eyes and
little like those of Alexander H..
but do not, like Alexander's, express
a mournful sense of solitude.
The under part of the face. how
ever. shows the habit of reticence.

Roeski Says That He Himself Was

Chicago, H.. Nov. 2S.-That an
other murder was planned by the
car barn murderers who were cap
tured yesterday afternoon in the ter
rible battle with the police, is evi-

the trio. Roeski Roeski says that
Vandine and Niedermier had a
grudge against him, and during the
last few weeks have been trying to
get rid of him. He declares that out
of all the booty he only got a few
nickelS once in awhile and a little
to eat as his share. He is positive
that they had decided to kill him if
the chance came. which he never al
lowed to materialize. He said that
during the battle yesterday he had
to watch his companions much more
than he did the officers. The confes-
crimes has shocked the community
and speedy trial has been arranged

that Secretary Alger thought the

the newspaper men off the track as
Carter wished to avoid them. At the
station he was met by an Associated
Press representative but he declined
to spsak of his future plans. He said
he was going direct to Chicago,
where he would spend Sunday with
his mother
When Carter was brought to the
penitentiary he talked much of his
anxiety for civil trial. Recently he
has not said much on this subject,
but has paid more attention to
suit pending in the United States
Circuit Court whereby the govern
ment was endeavoring to recover
about $723,000 alleged to be a part
of the former captains ill-gotten
booty Since his Imprisonment the
government has succeeded in MAX
ing Carter turn over vast sums of
money, but Notwithstanding this he
is believed to be still wealthy. He is
possessed OF valuable mining prop
erty, chiefly in Mexico. and it is
thought likely that he may make
that country his future home.
The case of Carter attracted such
widespread attention at the time of
his arrest. trial and conviction four
years ago that the facts are still
fresh in the public memory.
Grant sent him to West Point
from Ohio in 1876. he was graduated
at "a, at the head of his class. and
went to the Engineer Corps by right
of his standing. He served first in
the East. where he married a mill
ionaire's daughter. who died before
his downfall. 1t was in 1890 that
Carter, then lieutenant. presented
to congress his plans for the i'm
provement Of Savannah harbor. He
had thought it all out unaided and
Savannah went mad, almost, with
joy when the news was brought to
the town that nearly $3,000,000 had
been appropriated to carry into con-
crete effect the ideas that originated
in the mind of the brilliant engineer.
Carter returned to Savannah to take
up the work on the harbor From
that very moment it was shown the
swindling began. He conspired with
the contractors who were doing the
work, realizing with his accomplices
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
After the work was fairly under way
the young. lieutenant fairly bloomed
as an entertainer and a good fellow.
He took parties of his friends down
the bay in a government yacht, on
which occasions the champagne flow
ed like water. Meanwhile his ex-
penses grew at an amazing rate. 1t
developed at the trial that he was
in the habit of signing claims against
the government that were totally
false. and that the payrolls contain
