Actions of United States.

:
Colon, Nov. 13.--The royal mail
steamer Orinoco arrived yesterday
morning bringing news of Gen. Torres
and the Colombian troops he took
from here after the proclamation of
the Republic of Panama. The soldiers
behaved well on the voyage.
On the arrival of General Torres
and his troops at Cartagena, the news
OF events on the isthmus quickly
spread and caused excitement. Gen
eral Torres and his officers were
threatened with arrest as traitors,
but the threat was not put into effect.
The populace, greatly excited, soon
crowded the streets, crying, down
with the Americans"
United States Consul Ingersoll, fear
ing violence, remained shut up in the
consulate.
The excitement at Baranquilla in.
creased with the spreading of the
news of the success of the isthmus
which was supplemented by exagger-
ated accounts of the alleged part
played by the United States therein.
Panama's declaration of independ-
ence was read from newspaper by
the project to crowd assembled in
the Plaza and was greeted by furious
outcries and shouts of death to the
Panamanians," and death to the
Americans" The crowd in the plaza
INDUCED in many extravagant threats,
impossible of execution.
United States Vice Consul Lovelace
was on the balcony of his house at
Baranquilla, when several stones were
thrown at him. He retired indoors
and was not further molested by the
Colombians.
The people of Baranquilla have been
swept off their balance by the sudden
ness and seriousness of the news.
Revolutionary talk began Immediately
and threats were made against the
congressman responsible for the non
ratification of the Hay-Herran canal

Fears are entertained for the safety
of Americans in Colombia and of the
possibility of the anger of the popu-
lace being vented against foreigners
generally. The authorities at Savan-
lila have mounted two guns covering
the wharf

TO CHANGE DRAINAGE LAWS.
Convention to Take Up This Import.
ant Matter Has Been Called

Ames, Nov. 13.-Professor C. F.
Curtiss and other members of the fac
ulty of Iowa college has issued a call
for a drainage convention to be held
in Ames, January and 6.
The call for the convention is the
outcome of a movement started re-
Gently by the faculty. A few weeks
ago they sent out about 5000 letters
to leading farmers and stock raisers
of the state, requesting them to an
swer certain questions regarding
drainage in Iowa. Between fifty and
100 answers are being received daily,
and almost every one of them ex-
presses the hope that the drainage
laws of Iowa will be amended. A mum.
Der suggested the calling of conven-
ton, whereby certain bills could be
framed and the matter placed before
the general assembly in the proper
manner.
The Iowa drainage law is very in.
adequate, and all acquainted with the
situation in Iowa feel the need of new
legislation. Many farmers who are
anxious to drain low tracts are unable
to do so on account of the provisions
of the present laws. 1t is expected
that several hundred farmers and land
owners will attend the convention.

Threatening to EFFORT

constable in East Des Moines, was
found guilty of making threats to ex-
tort. Judge Given set next Saturday
as the time for pronouncing sentence.
The penalty is prescribed by the code
as not to exceed two years in the pen
itenitary or a fine not to exceed $500.

trial. The indictment on which Daily
was tried contained two counts. The
first was threatening to accuse Mary
and Julia Eeinke and Annie Eiker of
being immoral women if they did not
pay him a certain amount of money.
The second count charged that Daily
threatened to arrest the women If
they did not put up money. The
accused was found guilty under the
first count 1t will be argued by the
defendants attorneys that all of the
evidence introduced by the state tend
ed toward showing that Daily threat
ened to arrest the women and was not
that he threatened to accuse them of
being immoral persons On this
technically they will ask that the YER
dict be set aside.

collars damages for the killing of
Ellsworth Leonidas on the steamer
Dubuque, July 10, 1902, was returned

the attention of the grand jury.

s2so,ooo FIRE AT ALBA.
Started at Night While Fierce Wind
Was Blowing.

Abba, Nov 13.-With two fires rag
ing at once, famed by terrific gale,
Albia's best business section was laid
waste yesterday morning and did not
cease until $250,O00 damage had been
wrought.
From o'clock until well toward
noon the two fires ragged furiously.
The two local fire engines were re-
inforced by one from Charlton, but
they were utterly powerless to combat
the deadly onward march of the
flames, supported by the heavy wind.
The first fire started in the base
ment of Loves dry goods store. No
one knows how 1t started and 1t was
blazing rapidly when discovered. 1t
destroyed everything in its path for
half block north from the southwest
corner of the square. Two dry goods
stores, one grocery store, bank, a
cigar factory and law Office were
wiped out.
Within a short time after the dis
covery Of this fire another alarm was
received from the big lumber yard
two blocks north Of the square. This
fire was the fiercer of the two and
did not stop until the lumber yard, a
livery barn, and a number of resi-
deOces for one block in either direc-
ton were mass Of ruins.
Losses, as nearly as they can be
estimated, are as follows:

CAPE BRETON RICH
In Coal and lron-Sidney's Great
Steel Plant.

Current reports of late, tell of the
wonderful wealth of Cape Breton,
Nova Scotia. The island is said to
have some of the greatest deposits of
coal in the world, and from indca-
tons also has vast deposits Of iron.
At Sidney, Cape Breton, great steel
plants are being constructed, which
owing to the coal and iron deposits
being near each other, makes it an
ideal location for the reduction of the
iron ore to steel, at lowest possible
cost.
Cape Breton coal deposits are very
profitable to their owners, as Canada
affords them a market wholly free
from competition and the geograph-
ical position of Cape Breton renders
the markets of the world of easy
access, thus making the coal deposits
of Cape Breton extremely valuable.

understood, although not officially
stated, that the action of the caucus

CUBAN AGREEMENT REACHED.
Programme for Reciprocity Treaty is
Fully Mapped Out,

~'y "'eFFSN WV
Washington, Nov. IAN agree
ment was reached last night between
the leaders of the house and the SEN
ate in regard to the Cuban reciproc-
ity bill. The exact language to be
Incorporated into the measure was
fixed upon and is generally satisfac-
tory.
The republicans of the house and
the senate will stand solidly by the
bill which will be in fact the senate
treaty which was approved last
spring.
The bill will be introduced prob
ably today after the announcement
of the personnel of the ways and
means committee, and the commit
tee will report Friday. Monday will
be fixed as the date for the debate
and it is likely that the greater part
of the week will be consumed in the
discussion. To expediate matters a
bill will be brought in Monday pro-
hibiting amendments.
When the bill is put upon it's final
passage certain republicans will vote
against the bill to keep the record
straight, having previously opposed
it, but the measure will pass by
large majority; in fact many demo-
Gratis will support it.. Colonel Hep
burn was the only member of the
Iowa delegation to vote against the
bill when it passed the house last
session, but he will vote for it next
week. The measure will go to the
senate committee on foreign rela-
tons instead of the committee on
finance, and be reported back to the
senate at once exactly as it passed
the house. While there will be de-
bate in the senate, undoubtedly the
house bill will finally pass the senate
without amendment
