DR.. HERRAN N6T SURPRISED.
Colombian Charge d'Afaires Had Warned
His Government.

washington. Nov. 3.-Dr- Tomas Herran. the
Colombian charge. when he received inforlns-
ton Of the revolution al Panama, was much
interested but not surprised, as he has been
aware for some time Of the deSnerate feeling OF
the peor1e on the isthrnus. and had gone so far
As 10 warn his government that some such oc-
currence was likely 10 take place According 70
his estimate there are less than one thousand
government troops in Panama State at pres
a.. r,.- according 70 his latest information,
there are three government warships on the
Pacific side OF the isthmus and three or four on
the Atlantic side. The government has fifty
thousand troops under arms ia the interior and
or the western coast. and these can be moved
By transports TO Panama or its vicinity, but
could not be sent overland.
DIT Herran does not expect speedy recognition
by The United States OF q government formed at
Panama. but realizes that this government will
keen the railway open and may fnd it necessary
IN doing so 10 support any government IN the
Panama city that is in control, which would be
greatly 70 the advantage OF the revolutiouists.
The state Of Panama has . population Of about
$4,000 and. II is declared. is really the poorest
part q Colombia. There has been some SYM
pathv with Panama and q trend toward indie
pendence II the States west Of the mountains OF
the Pacific side and bordering on the Carib-
bean Sea or the Atlantic side These States are
also interested in the construction Of the canal
while the people OF Panama think the canal is

The UPRISING 70 the intense desire on the part OF
the people Of the isthnus for the construction
Ct the canal and. on this account, feels that the
movement is more serious than the attempted

FROM CAPITOL HILL
Official Report Setting Forth the Cause
Of the Mishap.

An official report on the recent cut
ting off of the water supply from Capt.
tol Hill and parts of Northeast Wash
ington, has been sent to the District
commissioners. According 10 the re-
port, the Water Department was en-
gagged in making a connection between
the 36-inch and 43-inch mains at the
corner of Fourth and r Streets north
west. While engaged in this work it
became necessary TO cut off the water
at New Hampshire Avenue and z Street.
Owing to some obstruction in the valve
not stopped. and it became neces-
sary to shut off the 4S-inch main sup
plying Capitol Hill.
Capt Chester Harding in forwarding
the report to the Engineer Commission
er Informed him that W. A: McFar-
land. Superintendent of the Water De-
partment, was present on the ground,
and directed the work from 8. o'clock
Tuesday night to 4 O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon. Foremen Fitzgerald. Nc
Guire and Hurley and their men were
engaged without rest for about TWEEN
ty-fouT hours on the work
Captain Harding said the accident to
the valve referred to caused serious
Inconvenience to residents in the part of
the city involved, but the period OF
keeping back the water was as short as
possible under the circumstances.

Col. W. c. Shelly. who has lately pur-
chased several tracts of land in Alex

James E Clements, as attorney for
John ". Clark, has sold six and three

Railroad Company for their line of rail-
road to the Great Falls. will shortly file
motions in court to revoke the con-
demnation proceedings, as no railroad
has as yet been begun. The land own
ers do not appear to understand the
cause OF delay, and are DESTROYS OF put
ting their land in cultivation, If no rail-
road is to be built.

Glen Cariyn is about completed, and will
be examined In few days by the school
authorities of the county, and, If found
