Colon, Nov. 12.-The royal mail
steamer Orinoco arrived here today,
bringing news Of Gen. Torres and the
Colombian troops he took from here
after the proclamation Of the Republic
of Panama.
On the arrival of Gen. Torres and
his troops at Cartagena the news Of
events on the isthmus quickly spread
and caused excitement. Gen. 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 Barranquilla in
creased with the spreading of the news
of the secession of the istbmus, which
was supplemented by exaggerated
accounts Of the alleged part played by
the United States therein. Panama's
declaration of independence was read
from a newspaper by the prefect to a
crowd assembled in the plaza, and
was greeted by furious cries, and
shouts of death to the Pana-
manians'' and death to the Ameri-
cans,
The prefect followed the reading by
speech, in which he declared that the
Colombian Government would never
permit the secession Of the isthmus,
and would win back the lost territory
at any cost. The crowd in the plaza
INDUCED in many extravagant threats.
United States Consul Lovelace was sit
ting on balcony of his house at Bar
ranquiila tonight, when several stones
were thrown at him. He retired in
doors and was not further molested by
the Colombians. Revolutionary talk
began Immediately at Barranquilla,
and threats were made against Con-
gressmen responsible for the non-ratif-
cation of the Hay Herran canal treaty.
Fears are entertained for the safety
of Americans in Colombia, and of the
possibility of the anger of the populace
being vented against foreigners gen.
orally. The authorities at Sayanilla
have mounted two obsolete guns, cover
ing the wharf.

Life Subscriptions.

A Century subscriber recently wrote
to the publishers inquiring what the
charge would be for life subscription
to the Century for a man 33 years of
age. The question was submitted to
one Of the large life insurance compan-
les, who reported that by the American
experience table Of mortality, assuming
money to earn three per cent annual in.
terest, a man 33 years of age should
pay $91.A for life subscription to the
Century. The publishers do not think
it is worth while to open a department
for life subscriptions, but it is interest
ing to know that man of 33 can look
forward to the probable enjoyment of
over eighty dollars worth of future
Century Magazines.

Police man Was Too Fat TO Perform a
Part of His Duty.
Stout policemen have their troubles,
not the worst of which is running after
small boys. Policeman James Treston
of police station No. e one night re-
Gently wished he was several pounds
lighter. When he made his usual call
to the station-hOus at $50 o'clock he
entered the call box at Highland and
Penn avenues. He opened the door
and then stepped inside. Mr.. Treston
has somewhat more than his share OF
ovoirdupois and he comfortably filled
the box.
The telephone hung on the wall d.
rectly opposite the door, and when
Treston was busily engaged in telling
tho house sergeant that all was well
IN his beat he did not see the wind
close the door on him. He heard the
click of the lock, however, and then
+urned-or rather tried to tuFn-to see
what had happened. But he could not
cot around, the door was securely
locked and he fitted the box like the
urorerbial sardine.
What was to be done? He couldn't
turn around to open the door, so he
pounded against the tin wall of the
hox. This drew a crowd Of specta-
tors, but they were powerless to assist
him, They had no key. He rang up
the station-house again and explained
his predicament. Amid the hearty
laughter of the house sergeant he
asked that a man be sent down with a
key to let him out. Fifteen minutes
later he stepped from the box in the
middle of a crowd of laughing men,
women and children. He was hSf, per-
spiring and angry, but he went back
IN his beat.-Pittsburg Gazette.
