PANAMA CONF|SCATED
TWO BRITISH
81 STEAMERS
Probably to be Used as
Transports.
CONFAB AT WASHINGTON

Panama, Nov. S-A report reached
here today from Buena Ventura that
the British steamers Manavi and
Quito have been detained by the Co
lombian government.
It is said here, that If this action is
true, that the vessels have been sup
pressed for the purpose of being used
to transfer an attacking party of Co.
lombian troops to the isthmus.
The reports gained credit from the
fact that upon the rumor being circu-
lated, the British consul here visited
the American cruiser Boston and held
lengthy conference with Lieutenant
Laird. Neither OF them would discuss
the report or outline in any way their
contemplated course of action should
the report prove to be a fact.
General Rafel Reyes has arrived at
Panama and it is stated that his visit
is due to desire to arrange peace ne
gotiations so that Colombia can retire
from the isthmus with honor.
All is quiet here and at Colon tonight
and the streets are deserted Nothing
further has been heard from the Co
lombian warship Bogota and she is be-
lieved to be at Buena Ventura.
Washington, D. c., Nov. S-President
Roosevelt discussed the Panama canal
situation at great length tonight with
a number Of his closest advisers. In
additfon-.to the president there were
present Secretary Root, who had Just
arrived from his trip abroad and
drove directly from the railway sta
ton to the White House, Secretary
Shaw, and Moody, and Senators AL
drich and Lodge.
The subject under consideration was
the terms Of the new treaty which will
be negotiated between this country and
Panama and the best plan for making
the payment OF money.
The conference was not concluded
until midnight and Secretary Root re-
manned another half hour alone with
tho president.

SORROW TO JOY
Is Heart of Mrs. GeIwick
Changed by Sons
Return.

An accidental meeting Of brothers
in the streets of Pitsburg and the sub
sequent return of Omar Gelwick, aged
10, after an absence of four months,
has changed to joy the crushing sor-
row of Mrs. George Gelwick, of sos
Newton street. His return has proba-
bly, saved his mothers life, for day by
day she worried over his absence un-
til ii was feared that serious results
would follow.
1t was on July II that the lad disap-
peared, with 800 in money which he
had drawn from the bank. To no one,
not even his closest boy friends, did
he confide his intentions. Anxiously
the parents of the youth waited his
homecoming. When overall days had
passed and still he remained away the
authorities were advised and cards
bearing picture and description Of
to the police of the country. Hundreds
of false clues we're run down by the
fond parents.
News of accidents in which unknown
lads were killed or injured caused the
father chase after chase, only to bring
back the information that he had fail
ed TO find his son. AS the weeks pass
ed the mother became PROSTATE. No
thoughts were in her mind but those
Of her missing boy. The sound of a
footstep on the porch, the ring of the
door bell aroused faint>gleams of hope
which faded when the momentary joy
was dispelled by the presence of anoth-
er at the door.
1t was while he was passing through
the streets of Pitsburg, where he is
employed, that Bruce Gelwick, met
his younger brother, Omar. 1t was a
pathetic meeting. No time was lost
by the older brother in ADVISING his
parents that the long search had end
ed and there were tears OF Joy in the
Gelwick nome Saturday night.

1t may be Il surprise to the unen.

Africa. has ever fer more than Il few
days at Il time been off some beaten
track. Every village is connected with
some other village, every tribe with the
next tribe, every state with its neigh

The explorers business is simply to
select from this network of tracks,
keep general direction and hold on
his way. They are veritable foot
paths, never over foot in breadth,
beaten hard and netted beneath the
level Of the forest bed Of centuries of
native traffic
Like the roads of the old Romans.
these footpaths run straight on through
everything, ridge and mountain and
valley, never shylng ut obstacles. nor
anywhere turning aside to breathe.
Yet within this general straightfor
wardness are Il singular eccendicity
and an indirectness of detail. And
the reason is not far to seek. IL n stone
is encountered, no native will ever
think OF removing it; he simply walks
around 1t. 1t would never occur TO him
that that stone was a displaceable OBJ
1ect and that for the general veal he
might displace 1t.

those curious relies of bygone times
which carry the mind back to the hab-

grandfathers. A handcuff looks q
strange thing to be fixed to the screen
of the banqucting hall of baronial
mansion, but one is there. When the
banquet had advanced toward its re-

guests refused TO drink the full guam
tity that was deemed the proper thing
at that time he was merrily carried to
the oak screen and placed with his arm
appraised and secured and locked in
that position by the iron ring. His
sleeve, then wide open, offered tempt.
ing receptacle for the wine which ha
had refused TO drink, and the contents
of the goblet. with as much more as
