her OF casualties up 10 II, ,305, as against
Y. 308 in the preceding quarter. the total

in ignorance Of the true facts His
wishes may prevail
The iron hand OF the President and his
mastery Of the situation are well shown
by the naval force now guarding the
isthmus. The monitor Wyoming, the
cruiser MaTblehead. and the gunboa I
Concord, have arrived at Panama. The
eastern shore is guarded by the cruiser
Atlanta, gunbOat Nashville. and train
ing ship Dixie

Prairie and the cruiser Baltimore are
expected 10 join the fleet later.
1t IS known 10 be the Presidents pol
icy to dispatch a dozen more warships
to the scene, If ii is deemed necessary
in preventing trouble
Charge of Conspiracy.
The Democratic contention in Con
gress will be that for purely selfish pur-
poses the President saw fit to tacitlv
recognize the Independence of Panama
upon cablegram from the isthmus.
They declare this Is the only instance
wherein a government has not awaited
the receipt of official documents. They
will charge a conspiracy on the part OF
the Administration to force upon Con-
gress the Panama Canal
Will Not Oppose Envoy.
NJ Philippe Bunau-Varilla. the Pana-
ma minister. will not oppose the visit OF
General Reyes. Of Colombia. 70 the
isthmus as a peace envoy. The only
stipulation he makes is that General
Reyes shall conduct his negotiations
from neutral territory-an American
Warship- This he believes essential TO
the peace OF the new republic.
The minister stilI insists that General
Reyes should only visit the new re-
public as a fully accredited envoy, but
in view OF the desires Of the Admins
tration he has made a concession, al
though in aJwise convinced that Gen
eraI Reyes mission viii be productive
Of results
The minister announces that the spe-
cial commission OF three from the new
republic. which is 10 arrive here Tues
day 20 engage IN the drawing up OF a
new canal treaty. will be empowered TO
treat officially with foreign govern
ments. Upon their arrival it is the
minister's intention 10 arrange for their
reception at the respective embassies
and legations.
The rumors OF contemplated inva-
sion of Panama by a Colombian army
approaching the new republic overland.
are not credited by army officers and
State Department officials.

STIR IN BOSTON OVER
CUSTOMS INVESTIGATION
No Widespread Frauds,
However, Discovered.
SPECIAL AGENTS AT WORK
Converse J. Smith, Once Aspirant for
Assistant Secretary of Treaty,
Assigned to Other Duty.

The Boston Custom House is under In
vestigation by special agents Of the
Treasury Department. two appraisers
have been reduced and then suspended,
Special Agent Converse J. Smith, in
charge OF the New England district, his
assistant and four other special agents
have been temporarily assigned to other
duty. and there Is a stir in "Beantown"
that has not been eQualed in years. No
widespread frauds have been discovered,
however. and the removal OF the special
agents was not because they were sus-
pected Of wrongdoing.
Boston was almost the last OF the Gus
tom stations to be reached under the
policy OF Secretary Shaw. of the Treas
ury Department, 20 see what was going
on, he having previously sent men to
New York, Chicago. San Francisco, Key
West, and other places. In each case
the regular special agents were detached
during theinvestigation that the special
~ detailed agents might have free rein
and not be hampered even by suggestion
in their work OF ransacking the depart
ments from cellar 20 garnet. This was
done in every case. but because the Bos-
tOnians did not understand II, there was
a claim made by the friends OF Colonel
Smith that he was FEELING the hard hand
Of Secretary Shaw for political reasons.
When Mr.. Shaw was named for the
Treasury portfolio Colonel Smith asked
that he be made Assistant Secretary,
but Secretary Shaw. when he had been
Installed, sent him wcTd that this could
not Se. and never afterward did Mr.

An impression prevails that on Mon
day or early in the week the President
will send to Congress the correspond
ence and documents relative to the rev
olution IN Panama, requested a few days
ago by both branches OF Congress.
1t is no secret that the Presi-
dent feels deeply the charge made in
certain quarters that the Administra-
ton has connived at the revolution.
Exhausted Every Resource.
sympathizing as he does with the
people OF Colombia, the President feels
that an enormous responsibility has
been placed upoI, him by Congress in
the selection of a route for an isthnian
canal He feels that he has exhausted
every resource in attempting TO nego-
tate a treaty with Colombia But he
has no intention, of usurping any OF
the prerogatiyes of Congress. He be-
heves that his policy will vindicate it
self when the facts are known, and
these he proposes unhesitatingly to
place before the members OF the Sen
ate and House of Representative.
He cannot agree with the minority in
Congress, that the reasonable time"
specified in the canal act has expired.
He fnterprets IL TO mean whatever
time is necessary to convince ourselves
that the course we are following is wise
and proper"
It has long been known that the Pres
ideiIt was weary with what he declared
was the insincere dealing on the part
Of those whom the accident OF position
had placed in temporary control of the
ground through which the Panama
Canal must pass.
Vital Interests at Stake.
He has maintained that the United
States has at stake vital interests far
IN excess Of the South American re-
public. and that in his position as head
of government which Is acting as
trustee of all the civilized peoples OF the
eaIsh, he believes II incumbent upon
him 10 deal firmly. justly and severely.
II necessary. in carrying out the obli-
cation imposed upon him.
He will shirk none Of his RESPONSE
bility- He viii acquaint Congress with
the situation as II is today and may
make such recommendations as he
deems expedient and necessary.
These recommendations and explana-
lions may be deferred until the regular
session. President Roosevelt however.

Women are chosen as brides for

Persia, that land of wisdom, the men

If a woman's lips droop, her hus-

Beware of the under lip that rolls

then she is a shrew but with just the
fullness necessary to perfect sym

A mouth with the upper lip curved,
lower lip straight, full and well de-

a high artistic sense. love of ease

certain coldness of temperament. If
the chin is firm and rounded, that be-
