ROUTES COLOMBIANS
NAY USE FOR INVASION

PANAMA. Dec. 21.-There is no truth In
the report that Americans have been given
twenty-fcur hours TO leave the Darien dis
triet There are less than a score OF Amer
leans In the entire district. and practically
all OF them are located at Cana, where they
are engaged I'm mining. Cana is about three
days inland from Yaviza. The presence OF
Colombians at Titumati and the discovery
OF a few men about Cana supposed To be
Colombian spies decided the miners to with
draw. which they did, passing through va
viva on the way out.
The United States gunboat Concord re-
turned this morning from San Miguel, and
reports that the two outposts at Yaviza
and Real Santa Maria in good shape
and well established The cruiser Wyo-
ming has assembled the estuary between
the outposts, and Is now anchored twenty
miles therefrom. The system OF communl-
cation Is so good that Admiral Glass can
get news from the outposts In eighteen
hours.
Nothing. has occurred recently to indicate
that the C0lOmbians are moving toward
the fsthmus, and the situation Is distinctly
quiet The naval authorities have decided
that there Is no need TO send reinforce
ments- There are two routes by winch the
CoIombians might reach Panama territory
from the Atrato river or the Gulf of Da-
rien- Both are old, and We're proposed as
canal routes and surveyed by Lucian Wise
In 1873. The northern route Is from Acanti,
on the Gulf OF Darien, over the low noun
tains towar1 Yavizas while the other route
Is up the Atrato river and thence via the
Cacarica and over the Tute mountain pass,
which also ends at Yaviza IL follows,
therefore, that Captain Buffers companies
OF marines at Yaviza cover both these ap-
proaches.
The detachment OF marines at Yaviza
engaged I'm scouting the entire distance SO
far has not reported the presence OF Colom-
bian troops. The detachment of marines at
Real Santa Maria is provided with four
Colt machine guns. Each post possesses
two ships boats and the marines are doing
considerable river exploring In these boats.
The presence of ten men was recently re-
ported at Tapalia- They posed as rubber
cutters but IL Is believed they were Co
lombian spies. Some of them were arrested
by the Panamaian authorities and We're
sent by schooner to Buena Ventura. The
others scattered. few of them appearing
later at Cana and at Paya, a small ham,
let. Otherwise the Darien district Is per-
fectiy quiet.
The authorities believe that Colombia
would require big and well-supported
army to do anything effective In the Darien
district. and despite the fact that small
parties can travel from Yaviza 10 the
Atraro river and To Acanto in the Gulf of
Darfen. IL Is not believed that Colombia
will make the attempt. Nevertheless the
naval authorities are fully prepared for any
emergency.
Orders have been given to the command
ers of the gunboats in the San Miguel
careful watch for Colombian troops, to
avoid contact or the opening of hostilities
with them as far as possible and TO inform
the flagship Immediately OF their presence.

EIGHT MINERS BURNED
BY EXPLOSION OF GAS
Due to a Careless Foreigner Carry
ing Naked Lamp Into a Penn
sylvania Colliery.
INJURED MAY RECOVER

WILKESBARRE, Pa. Dec. 21.-Great ex-
element prevailed in Plymouth to-day when
word was sent to the surface from the Not
tingham colliery that serious explosion
had occurred in No. slope of that mine.
operated by the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
Coal Company. Ambuances and physicians
were hurried to the top of the slope and a
half hour later eight men were brought
from the mine burned by the gas.
The coneussion which followed the acct
dent hurled some of the timber and brattice
work in all directions, though no serious
damage was done to the workings. The
mine. as a rule, is not a gaseous one and
had il not been for the carelessness of a
foreigner in carrying a naked lamp the ex-
plosion would not have occurred. At the
time the accident happened the men had
been working in the red ash vein, known
as the eleventh gangway. 1t was marvel
Gus that any of the men escaped alive.
All the injured may survive.

FLAWS IN LIND ACT.
New Irish Law Must Be Amended
bv Parliament.

LONDON, Dec. H-Both the Nationalist
and the Unionists are discovering serious
flaws in Irish Secretary Wyndhams land
act, which will necessitate further amend
ment in Parliament. In the land judges
court in Dublin to-day, after several days
discussion, Justice Ross delivered judgment
regarding the sale of Lord Ely's estates
according to which the tenant for life is
not entitled to appropriate the bonus under
the new act for his own use, but must
hold it subject to trusts of settlement. This
important judgment, If upheld on appeal,
will prevent landlords, who are tenants
for life, from selling, as they would there
by lose the chief inducement to sell under
the act. The Judgment probably will have
the effect of suspending all sales and ne
gotiations to sell until Parliament has
taken steps to remove the doubts and diff
culties which have arisen in the interpre-
ton of the act
