GERMANY lRRlTATED.
over Reported Holdup by the United
States Of a German Ship.

over Reported Holdup by the United
States Of German Ship.
New York, NOV 16.-The Herald
yesterday morning published the fol-
lowing;
Berlin, Nov 15.-The ever-latent IT.
ritation against the United States in
the matter of South America has been
virtually awakened by telegram
from Panama stating that the com,
mander of the American squadron at
Colon has forced German ship to
weigh anchor and get out Of the har-
Dor because she was suspected Of
having contraband of war aboard.
Apropos of this the Neuste Mach
richten says: america must not in.
terpret abstention from interference
on the part of the European powers
in Panama as a sign OF weakness. It
is her duty to avoid any action pref
judicial to the interests of the powers,
We must take the contents of the tel
egram received as very ugly ac-
acknowledgement Of that duty, Should
the dispatch prove true, the holding
up a German ship is an act which,
even at the time of the South Ameri-
can war, would have been taken as an
unfriendly act. 1t is less justifable
in this case, as neither blockade nor
state of war has been declared in
those waters.
1--WE hope the news is exaggerated,
or, if it is not that prompt redress
will be demanded for the wrongful
seizure"
The steamer referred to is the
Markomannia. The same paper goes
on, after publishing the Herald's tele'
fran from Bogota, telling of probable
figting, to say:
Gwen should a state of war exist
it would not justify the seizure of a
German steamer

COLOMBIA TO RECLAIM PANAMA.
Claimed That Isthmian Separation Is the Work of a
Few officials and Foreign Companies.

Panama, Nov. 14.--A Bogota cable
Of the 10th says: "The Colombian
government and people reject with
profound indignation the independent
movement of the Isthmus, merely sup
ported by the reasonable act OF mill
AIRY officials, and with the only OBJ
lect in view the satisfying of avari-
siousness of certain individuals and
foreign companies having interests
connected with the canal company. All
departments and parties have given
unconditional support"
Boguta continues in state OF siege
The American legation is well pro.
tected, and later will transmit an ex
ira important cable communication
from President Marroquin to Presi
dent Roosevelt and the Spanish-Amer
lean presidents.

ed. confirm the previous interview
with Acting President Jorge Holguin
who also advises me exclusively to say
that Colombia Will never recognize
Isthmian independence, and will ex
haust the last drop OF blood and every
cent in order to pacify the rebelliout
Panamenos.
Gen. Rafael Reyes has been ap
pointed generalisslmo in chief, and al
here are confident he will make the
United States comply with its treaty
obligations of 1s46 in maintaining the
sovereignty of Colombia on Isthmiar
soil.
The whole nation surrounds the gov
eminent without distinction.
Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1903-11-18

Gen. Reyes left yesterday for the
coast with splendid and numerous
army. having ready behind him an
army OF 100000 men.
1t is known on good authority that
the Isthmian separation movement
was not unanimous, and the govern
ment asserts they count with adverse
protests from interior provinces. In
Panama, the Colombian government
and people are satisfied, Colombia pa
triotic sentiments will prevail, and be-
fore long the Isthmus will relntegrats
finally before Colombian bloodshed in
torrents flows.
The Colombian government reports
are counting upon the sincere symps-
they Of all South and Central Ameri-
can republics.
The above cable clearly shows the
exact Isthmian situation is unknown
in Bogota. when 1t is asserted that
there have been provincial protests
against the separation movement,
which is entirely false, as 1t is a we'll
known fact that all important public
men of all classes, irrespective OF
party feelings, have most enthusiast
icaliy supported and maintain practL
cally the new republican government
Gen. Reyes is coming to the Isthmus
merely on Utopian mission, and 1t is
generally believed the move is an
electioneering farce rather than seri,
GUS business. There are NOS the
slightest fears that any Colombian in.
vasion would be effective, and the
Isthmians laugh and ridicule Bogota'a
childishness.

WORK FOR WEEK.
TRYING TO coNFlNE LEcIsLA-
TON TO CUBAN TREATY.
CUBAN BILL IN THE HOUSE.
Nomination Of Gen. Wood viii Come
UP in Executive session.--com-
mlttee Organization.

Washington, Nov. 16.--It is the in.
tention of the senate leaders to con
fine as closely as possible the legisla-
ton of the present extra session to
the bill to carry into effect the Cuban
treaty, and with that end in view the
daily sessions of the senate during
the present week will be brief, and an
other adjournment will be taken on
Thursday of Friday until the follow
ing Monday. The work of introducing
bills and other special petitions will
go forward, but with the exception Of
the Cuban bill, neither bills nor petit
tons will be taken up in committee
nor discussed in the senate during the
week. 1t is quite well understood
that Senator Morgan is prepared for
prolonged discussion Of the situa-
ton on the Isthmus of Panama, but
while he seems not to have taken any
one into his confidence, the general
supposition is that he will defer his
speeches until the new canal treaty
shall be sent to the senate. There is
an understanding on the part of the
senators that even though the nego-
tiations of the new convention are
completed, it will not be transmitted
to the senate until the beginning of
the regular session of congress in De-
cember. 1t is expected that the Gu
ban bill will be received from the
house on Friday, and it is probable
session will be held on that day in
order that the bill may be referred to
the committee on foreign relations,
which will begin its consideration at
once.
The committee on military affairs
will meet during the week to consider
the nomination Of General Wood, and
as soon as practicable after the com
mittee reports on it, the question of
confirmation will be brought before
the senate in executive session in
consideration Of other nominations.
Senator Hale, who is chairman of
the republican committee on organi.
cation of the senate committees, ex-
presses the opinion that the reorgani-
cation will be completed by the close
of the week. Other senators say it
will be impossible to complete the
work until the following week.

Her skirt dragged him along as she
walked.
"Where did you put it, Alice?"
"Father Beret hid it under his floor"
she answered involuntarily and almost
unconsciously. II shall have to take
1t back and give it up"
"No-no-I wouldn't" he quavered
dancing across the veranda as she
quickened her pace and fairly spun
him along. II wouldn't let 'em have
it at ALL"
Alices mind was working with light
ming speed. Her Imagination took
strong grip on the situation SO briefly
and effectively sketched by Captain
Farnsworth. Her decision formed IT,
self quickly.
''Stay here. Jean. am going to the
fort. Don't tell Mamma Roussillon
thing. Be good boy"
She was gone before Jean could say
word. She meant to face Hamilton
at once and be sure what danger men
aced NJ. Roussillon. OF course, the
flag must be given up IL that would
save her foster father any pain, and
If his life were in question there could
not be too great haste on her part.
She ran directly to the stockade gate
and breathlessly informed a sentinel
that she must see Governor Hamilton,
into whose presence she was soon led
Captain Farnsworth had preceded her
but minute or two. and was present
when she entered the miserable shed
room where the commander was hav-
ing another talk with N. Roussillon.
The meeting was a tableau which
would have been comical but for the
pressure Of it's tragic possibilities.
Hamilton. stern and sententious, stood
frowning upon NJ. Roussillon, who sat
upon the ground, his feet and hands
tightly bound, colossal statue Of in
jured innocence.
Alice. as soon as she saw NJ. Roussil-
lon. uttered cry Of sympathetic en-
dearment and flung herself toward him
with open arms. She could not reach
around his great shoulders. but she
did her best to include the whole bulk.
Papa! Papa Roussillony' she CHR
ruped between the kisses that she
showered upon his weather beaten
face.

Jean had crept out of the gate and
was standing just behind Alice, with
his feet wide apart, his long chin ele-
waited. his head resting far back be-
tween his upthrust shoulders. his
hands in his pockets, his uncanny eyes
gazing steadily at Farnsworth. He
looked like deformed frog ready to
jump.
Alice Enthusiastically saw truth in the
captains countenance and felt it in
his voice. The reality came to her
with unhindered effect. NJ. Roussil-
Ions life depended upon the return of
the flag. She put her hands together
and for q moment covered her eyes
with them.
Il will go now, mademoiscllc, said
Farnsworth, 'but hope you will be
In great haste about returning the

turned to go back into the house.

What she did know-and it gladdene6

Of Beverley's force in shutting it, she

He lifted his hat and bowed very
politely. but a bold smile broke over
his somewhat ruddy face. He spoke
in French, but in drawing tone and
with bad accent.
'How do you do, mademoiselle. l
am right glad to see you again.
Alice drew back pace or two. She
was quick to understand his allusion,
and she shrank from him, fearing that
he was going to inquire about the flag.
