PANAMA A REPUBLIC,
Isthmian State Secedes from Columbia
and May Sign Canal Treaty.

Isthmian State Secedes from Columbia
and May Sign Canal Treaty.
Colombians at Panama have declared
their independence, which, once estab-
lished. is expected to lead to the early
conclusion Of a canal treaty. United
States war vessels and marines have
been ordered to the scene after n hur-
ried White House conference. They will
guard the railway in accordance with
treaty obligations. The State Depart
ment fears general war may break out
among the Central American republics.
The successful movement by which the
independence Of the Isthmus of Panama
was declared took place amid great en-
thusiasm and frantic excitement. There
were 1900 armed men in the uprising.
Gems. Tovar and Amayo, who arrived
at Colon on the Colombian gunboat Car
thagena and proceeded to Panama, were
made prisoners. Gov. Obaldia and all
the authorities are also captives. The
uprising, which is believed to reflect pop
ular opposition to the rejection of the
canal treaty, shows fully what the pres
ent feeling is on the isthmus.
A conference Of members Of Presi.
NSAAs AsSOSS'SAt NooihCl anu iCdulhS OLI'
cials was held at the White House and
orders issued for the dispatch of q num-
Der Of war vessels to Panama and Colon.
For the present the efforts of the United
States will be devoted to the mainte-
nance Of order and preservation Of free
dom Of transit across the isthmus accord
ing to our treaty obligations.
As to the recognition of the revolution
ary government, Washington CORE
spondent asserts that there is no doubt
that as soon as evidence is received of
the establishment of de facto govern
ment the United States, following the
usual practice, will recognize and treat
with the revolutionary authorities. This
means that within a short time the new
isthmian government will probably con-
clude treaty with the United States for
the construction Of the Panama canal.
Within few days the United States
will have four or FIVE naval vessels and
fully 1000 marines at Panama and
Colon.
Vice United States Consul Ehrman at
Panama cabled the State Department at
Washington Wednesday that the Colon
bian government warship Bogota was
shelling the city. Eleven Chinamen were
reported killed.

Disease and starvation are threatening

west coast Of Africa, with extinction.
FROM twenty to fifty persons die daily
and government officials on the islands
ask to be released, as they are unwilling
to stand the awful sights. Food is being
shipped from Portuguese ports to the isl

carrying off the people. The survivors
are reduced to mere skeletons, and ali

The Inhabitants are mainly a mixture of

New Enemy That Threatens the Ruil
of Mighty Business.

New Enemy That Threatens the Ruin
of n Mighty Business.
A new enemy to King Cotton has ap-
peared in the Southwest so formidable
as to cause the very throne of that mon
arch to shake. Individually, this foe
of the cotton plant is small and insignifi-
can't, only tiny insect; but i'll its col
lective capacity, where it forms host in
numbers like the sands of the sea, it
becomes a scourge more to be dreaded
than the GOths and Vandals of the old
ell times. The name of this pest is the
cotton-boll weevil. The creature Is be-
lieved to be native of Mexico. 1t cross
ed the Rio Grande a few years ago and
invaded Texas, where it has already ex-
ecuted vengeance i'll more terrible form
than any army from over the southern
border could ever have done. 1t has
already inflicted damages to the cotton
crop of Texas estimated at not less than
S4OO. 900. 900. and nothing has yet been
discovered to stay its ravages, although
the State government has offered the
handsome sum Of $1,000 to anyone who
will devise remedy. The .eeHil host
is marching steadily northward through
Texas, and there is great fear that it
NAV reach the cotton fields of the other
Gulf States, and threaten great indus
try with ruin.
The creatures are about the size of the
common house fly, of oval shape. dark
gray color, winged, and six-legged. The
body is broad at the rear and tapers
toward the head. which is supplied with
a long, curved proboscis and two deli
cate antennae. or feelers. In their work
in. state the insects are exceedingly
lively and not easily captured. They
are able to fly long distances, and ap-
pear suddenly in new and unexpected
places. The weevils' power of endur-
ance is very great. fact which adds
much to their formidable character.

Bad Indians in Peril.

The commissioner of Indian affairs has
received the following telegram concern
ing the Indian situation from Agent Bren-
nan, Of the Pine Ridge agency, dated at
Hot Springs, s. D.:
"A sheriff and posse from Wyoming ar
rested nine Indians and their families near
Edgemont, S. D.; they are supposed to be
part Of the party engaged in the fight last
week. Tried to have them released pend
ing investigation; officers insist on taking
them to Douglas. Wyo., for hearing. Mob
violence threatened. The governor should
be telegraphed at once to use all means to
protect the Indians now under arrest.
The United States attorney sh' uld be Or
dered to Douglas to see justice is done the
Indians under arrest. In my opinion the
killing of the six Indians reported was
totally unjustifed."
