Washington, Nov. 4.-The following
cablegram was received at the state
department from Panama:
"An uprising took place at Panama.
Independence was proclaimed. Ihe
Colombian army and navy officials
were made prisoners. A government
was to be organized consisting OF
three consuls and a cabinet. 1t was
rumOred at Panama that a similar up
rising was to take place at Colon"
Later the following official state
ment was made regarding the news
from Panama:
"A number of confused and con-
dieting dispatches have been received
from the isthmus, indicating another
serious disturbance at Panama and
Colon. The navy department has dis
patched several vessels to these ports,
with directions to do everything possi-
bic to keep transit open and maintain
order along the line Of the railway.
The sensational advices from the
Isthmus were not entirely unexpected
IN view of other advices that had come
to the department very recently. The
reception of the news caused a sud
den outburst of activity at the navy
department, and at once on President
Roosevelt's return he was made ac-
uuainted with the situation. Secretary
Hay, Assistant Secretary Darling, AS
sistant Secretary Loomis and a num-
Der Of others were summoned to the

we're taken at once for protection OF

The testimony adduced during the
progress of the case showed that NJ. p.
SkOOg holds a $4,000 mortgage against
the land. 1t is thought that the jury
came to the conclusion that it was no

relieve the estate of that burden mas

Value of Land in Doubt.

WhittemOre. who has charge of the
YOungberg estate, asked $40, 900 for it,
when the city made Overtures to buy.
That offer was refused. and all further
mated there. Witnesses who testified
in behalf of the Youngberg estate
thought prices ranging from $4,000 to
$500 were equitable.
The city bought some property ad-
joining the Youngherg land not many
months ago and paid a. little over 81 per
acre for il, and it was and is consid-
cred better land than the Youngberg
acres The quality of the land cuts no
figure with the city, however. as most
of the YOungbeTg acreage will be under
wafer after the reservoir is completed
and filed.
