COR MAN ON PANAMA.
Senator Says Senate Has Not Yet Recognized Republic.
ROOSEVELT SENDS DOWN DOCUMENTS

Confirmation of Buchanan as Minis
 ter to Isthmian Republic Barred by Want of Senate's Approval, Although He Is En Route.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The house has received from President Roosevelt the third installment of papers relating to the recent revolution on the isthmus of Panama. They consprise the core spondence between the state depart ment and Minister Beaupre at Bogota relative to the Hay-Herran treaty. Secretary Hay telegraphed MT. Peau- pre- to notify Colombia on April last that the matter of requests made by Colombia to canal and railroad con- panies for appointment of agents to negotiate cancellation of the present concessions was covered by the treaty. On April 13 MT. Beaupre reviewed again at length the feeling in Colombia toward the treaty. On it's negotiation he says, 'I am convinced the public had never expected better terms"
 In later communication on the sub ject of public opinion adverse to the treaty MT. Beaupre says: Tt is utterly impossible to convince these people that the Nicaraguan route was ever se- rtously considered by the United States; that the negotiation concerning it had any other motive than the squeezing of an advantageous bargain out of Colombia, and that any other than the Panama route ever will be se- lected."
 The senate in session for the con- i,3o has voted to reconsider the vote by which William l. Buchanan of New York had been confirmed as envoy ex- traordinary and minister plenipoten- tiary to the new republic of Panama.
 The nomination of MT. Buchanan was sent to the senate by the president a few days ago. It was confirmed with out opposition, and MT. Buchanan has already received his credentials and is en route for his post.
 Senator Germans action moving a
 reconsideration of the vote by which the nomination was confirmed came
 like thunderclap. He rose at his place in the senate and first called at- tention to the fact that MT. Buchanan's
 nomination had been confirmed. He
 said it had slipped through" without the knowledge of any of the senators on the Democratic side and, he be- Heved with the knowledge of very few senators in the chamber. He said
 that very grave question had been
 raised in the senate as to whether the
 new republic of Panama ought to be
 recognized, and the senate had taken no vote on this question

More Trouble and Fighting Feared
 In the Small Republics.
 SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Dec. 21.- The Cuban steamer Julia, from Santo Domingo and Haiti, has arrived here, mer minister of war of Santo Domingo; Commander Perez of the Dominican army, Captain Geirra, Colonel Espail- lat and other supporters of former Pres ident Wos y Gil. The Julia also brought Juan Medina, Porto Rican who has been appointed by the pro- visional government of Santo Domingo as consul general to Porto Rico in sue cession to Senor Morales. The latter, however, refuses to surrender his of flee, claiming that the provisional gov- ernment has not been recognized by the United States. He has turned over the effects of the consular office to Senor Galvan, son of the former Dominican minister of finance. Senor Medina will appeal to Governor Hunt for official recognition.
 The supporters of General Wos Gil held long conference, and the mem- bers of the party express the belief that the intervention of the United States in the affairs of Santo Domingo will be found necessary in the near future. They declare that crisis is rapidly ap- preaching and that the provisional gov ernment finds it impossible to nego- tiate loans.
 The Julia brought news that former President Jiminez is now at Monte Cristi, that former Vice President Des- champs is in control of Porto Plata and that Generals Morales and Caceres are fortifying the city of Santo Do mingo. 1t is said that an attempt was recently made to kill General Jiminez and that General Caceres lives in i'm minent danger of assassination.
 According to reports brought from Haiti, a revolution is feared there which may result in the assassination or at least the incarceration of several ministers and delegates.
 The chief of the French bank at Port au Prince has been imprisoned.
 The attitude of the people of Haiti toward President Nord is decidedly threatening, as they allege that he has been guilty of embedding public funds.

Corean Superstition,

There is an ancient ceremony in connection with marriage in Corea that is fast passing away. It is called "Po-sam." A week or two before the wedding the parents of the bride con- suit fortune-teller to find what will be the future of their daughter. Should they learn that she will become widow within twelve months they will inveigle a boy into their house. mock ceremony will be performed, after which the boy will be strangled. The bride, thus becoming a widow, deceives the spirits and will be mar ried to her betrothed husband with the assurance that he has naught to fear.

Was a Mistake.

The shipping of Liberian aborigines as laborers to the crown colonies in diff. ferent parts of Africa has been ques- tion of much concern and misgivings to the British government, and is re- garded by many as the source of much of the stagnation in trade and agricul- ture in Liberia.
