Fails to Secure the
Two Negroes.
(By the Associated Press

900 men and boys surrounded the county

in the doors in an attempt to lynch two
negroes, George Williams and Nicely Zim

the crowd and secured the attention of
Sanders, urging him to go home and let

steamed out of the lagoon. While Ad-
miral Coghlan and other Americans were
treated civilly and courteously, and while
their visit was not marked by the slight
est unpleasant or untoward incident, 1T
was evident that the authorities at Carta-
gena were not glad to see the Olympia and
were very glad when she took her de
parture.
Admiral Coghlan was careful to leave at
the soonest possible moment, evidently
remembering the absolute loyalty of the
department of Bolivar to the Bogota
government. 1t is suspected that the
Boogta government had spies in Carta-
gena who were watching for any indica-
lions Of disloyalty, since the Cartagenian
authorities evidently desired to avoid all
unnecessary friendiness with the Ameri-
cans.
Governor Insignares kept himself sur
rounded by his staff of secretaries during
his interviews with Admiral Coghlan,
in order no doubt to have witnesses 10
prove that he was no more friendly than
the circumstances required.
No political references were made dur
ing the interviews, except by the Chief
OF Cartagena customs, who, while aboard
the Olympia, proposed with great earn
estness q toast to the continuance of the
friendly relations between the United
States and Colombia. Comparatively lit
tie Information as to the general situation
could he gained at Cartagena. There arc
probably 800 troops there and there are
reported to be five thousand at Barran
Quilla. The government is doubtless slowly
concentrating troops at Barran Qullla
| and moving them toward Titumati IN
small numbers. There are probably
twelve hundred Colombian soldiers at
Titumati and vicinity today and this num-
Der is gradually being increased.
Minister Beaupre had a good trip down
the Magdalena river and was greatly
gratified to find the Olympia had been
sent to Cactagena. The Bogota authorl-
ties extended every courtesy to the min
lister who left Bogota in q special train
and was carried down the river on a
special steamer. He made the trip from
Bogota to Cartagena in seven days.
The Associated Press correspondent
questioned Minister Beaupre concerning
the situation, but the minister emphati-
cally declined to talk Of the political con-
ditions.
OF absence which has long been deferred
He said he thought that any trouble be-
tween the United States and Colombia
was improbable and that the Americans
in Colombia of whom there are very few
there being only about ten in Bogota
and some prospecters in Antioquia and
other places, were in no danger of moles.
tation.
General Rafael Reyes has been bitterly
criticised at Bogota for having invited
the Panamaan Commissioners to break
fast wnen here aboard the Canada. The
generals action in this matter is con-
sidered undignifed and a sign of weak
less.
General Reyes continued absence at
Washington is resulting in a certain slight
doubt of his influence and prestige.
It can safely be said that the influence
of time and a calmer consideration of
tho situation, is bringing about, though
slowly, greater readiness on the part
of Colombia to accept the inevitable and
to get all she possibly can from the Re-
public of Panama by diplomatic means.

Twelve Killed by Dynamite.
(By the Associated Press.)

Naples, Dec. 2S.-The people of this city
and it's environs have been in the habit
of exploding fireworks and bombs during
the Christmas season. This year, however,
the police authorities forbade the use of
dynamite. Notwithstanding this inter
diction the police discovered and sequest-
cred $4,000 bombs mainly composed of
dynamite. The people of the village of
Resina eluded the vigilance of the au-
thorities, and while the people were pre-
pairing the bombs the dynamite exploded.
The result was that twelve persons were
killed and many injured.

Bridge Commissioner Lindenthal said yes
terday that three foreign steel manufactur
ing corporations had sent representatives
over here to examine the specifications for
the steel superstrlcture of the Manhattan
cye-bar cable bridge He minated that
these companies would become competitors
for the So, 5S9 600 contract, krupp's agent is
said to have been looking at the spectica-
tions.
At the recent hearing before the Alder
men it was stated that there was no plant
in this country which had the necessary
equipment for the turning out of the bars,
Mr. Lindenthal controverted the state
ment at the time. He said yesterday that
the contract would be let to the lowest
bidder, and that no matter where the con-
tract was placed the city would be well
protected, because the successful bidder
would have to lodge n bond Of Si.0OO,00o.
Beyond what has been stated MIR. Linden
thai would give out no further information.
If he really contcmpatns awarding the
cont ract TO "a firm on the OF her side of the
Atlantic, supposing of course that the
lowest bid came from that side 1t becomes
interesting TO know how the foreign bidder
could evade the contract labor laws or
