ABEEL FINALLY ARRESTED.
CANADIAN POLICE HAVE BOGUS
 "J. OGDEN GoELET.n
Taken Into Custody at Hotel in Niagara Falls, Ont, on Request of Inspector McCiuskey of New York-nIay Fight E1.radltion- -ciaims He |. Innocent of Any Wrong Doing. @

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Dec. 27.-The man arrested on the Canadian side of the river last night as James Abeel, of New York, who, it is alleged, posed as "J. Ogden Goelet, jr.," claiming rela- tionship to the well-known Goelet fam fly, and became engaged to Miss Grace Anderson, of New York.
 On Wednesday of last week two men went to the Savoy hotel at Niagara Falls, Ontario. and registered from Chicago. One of them gave his name as F. s. Hali and the other as W. K. Hall. Last night Chief of Police Mains. of the Ontario force, received a tele- gram from Inspector McCluskey, of the New York police, asking him to arrest F. s. Hall at the Hotel Savoy, who, the message said, is wanted in New York on charge of forgery.
 Abeel is still at the Savoy in charge of police officer. The man with him is not in custody. He has engaged Germain & Petit, a well-known law firm of Welland, Ontario, and he will doubtless fight extradition Acting un- der the advice of his counsel, he will make no statement further than to de- clare that he has committed no crime. Abeel will be arraigned before Magis- trate cruikshank tomorrow morning. If Abeel persists in his determination to fight extradition and refuse to return to New York the officials admit they will be at standstill in the case, be- cause the extradition laws, it is stated. will not cover the case. Abeel said this evening:
 "So much trouble has been made over me by the police and newspapers that do not know but what will return innocent of impersonating J. Ogden Goelet or any other Goelet. The fact that am making my home in Canada under an assumed name is personal matter. My family is we'll acquainted with my reasons, and so long as do not turn my assumption of an alias to any criminal account do not think I am answerable to any one. I have communicated with my relatives and l If 1t is thought best shall return to New York and then the truth, as far as am concerned, will become known New York, Dec. 27.-Detective Ser geant Collins started for Niagara Falls to-day to take charge of the prisoner. It was at first thought that Miss An- | 0ersorl would accorr1pany the detective but her counsel decided that 1t would not be necessary. No information re- garding the manner in which Abeel was traced to Niagara Falls was obtainabie at the detective bureau to-day.

WILL PAY PART OF DEBT
PANAMA so INFORMS BRITISH
 AMBASSADOR.
VIII Assume Responsibility of Exterior Obligations in Proportion te POpuIa- tIon Compared With CoIombIa-This to be Done as Soon as coIombIs RecoE- nizes the New Republic.
nizss the New Republic.

New York, Dec. 27.-Mr. Bunau-Varil- Ia, minister of Panama to the United States, stated tonight that he had noti- fled Sir H. Mortimer Durand, British ambassador to the United States. of Panama's willingness to assume part of the exterior debt of Colombia in pro- portion to the population of Panama, compared with that of Colombia. The minister says this will be done as soon as the independence of Panama is rec ognized by Colombia. ..-...e.
 Panamaians here who were informed of the course adopted by MT. Bunau- Varilla said that this step had been talk en to show the good faith of the new republic. They believe that no court of arbitration would have reached the conclusion that any part of Colombia's exterior debt should be assumed by Panama. as never in the history of the country, was any part of the exterior loans utilized for the benefit of Panama.
 The total amount of the exterior debt with interior added, is about $15,000,00O, and Panama has population about one-flfteenth of that of Columbia, so that Panama will take upon itself the payment of million dollars, if the con- ditions are carried out. @
 Washington, Dec. 27.-State depart ment officials have under consideration the nature of the reply which is to be made to the note of General Reyes, the Colombian minister, regarding the as- ton of the United States in connection with affairs growing out of the seces- sion of the department of Panama. Just when the answer is to be ready is not definitely known. General Reyes is anxious for an early reply and the state department officials are equally as anxious that the matter shall be dis posed of as quickly as is consistent with a careful preparation of the ad- ministration's answer. The Colombian note contains statement of the griev- ances which that country claims to have suffered under the interpretations on the treaty of 1S46. It discusses these grievances in dignifled tone and sets out reasons which General Reyes claims supports the contention he has made. The probability is there will be several diplmatic exchanges between. Colombia and the United States before anything like conclusion of the dis cussior of the matters at issue Is reach- s ed.
 Panama, Dec. 27-Elections for mem bers of the constitutional convention took place to-day in every part of the republic. The results are not yet known, but diagrams from the interior report the apparent triumph of the candidates opposed by the popular jun ta composed of liberals and conserva- tives. For the first time in the history Of the isthmus the elections in the city of Panama have been conducted with out any attempt at bribery or other il- legalities.

An inmate of the house summoned Pa- trolman Peterson Of the Grand avenue station and he went to the room and broke in the door. He found Mr. Adler lying on the bed in an unconscious con- dition. Drs. Nader and Burke were summoned and on their arrival they or dered the man removed to the New Ha- ven hospital. where he was taken in the police ambulance
 On his arrival there it was found that Mir Adler's condition was quite serious and that had he remained in his room few moments more without discovery he would have been beyond all human aid. After working on him several hours some symptoms of recov- cry were noted, and last night it was stated at the hospital that he would re- cover.
 MT Adler was to have been married next Sunday night to Miss Rehecca Leshnan of 659 Grand avenue. Great preparations have been made for the wedding but it is thought that now it will have to be postponed for some time.

Anxious for News on ths Russo-Japa- nese controvsrsy.

San Francisco, Dec 2.--General Mac- Arthur returned to-day on the steamer Siberia from the Hawaiian Islands, where he has been making military inspection. One of General MacAr- thurs first question was for news con- corning the Japanese Russian contro- versy and he listened intently to the information given him. He was then asked:
 ''Is it true, general, that your visit to the island was cut short by the proba- bility of war with Panama ?"
 The general considered the question a moment and said: Well, I'm here
 His attention was directed to the re- cent activity displayed in the transport service, and he remarked: T have not been notified about the transports" !"
 Then the interviewer brought up the subject of the report of Colonel Jones, of the Hawaiian militia, who quoted General Macarthur as saying that war would come between the. United States and Germany and that the prin- cipal fighting would be in the Pacific with the Hawaiian Islands the object i've point.
 General MacArthur said: That is Ia matter that will discuss in no way. You nuts excuse me-
 In relation to his trip the general said: T made very thorough inspec- ton of the islands of Oahu and have |sent to Washington complete report of my ideas for the defenses and es- tablishment of Notifications, also the number of posts thought advisable. The trip was most instructive and valuable. The wealth of the country surprised me and particularly was I amazed at the enormous sugar planta- tions."

 Paper Money Destroyed.
 Fort Worth, Texas. Dec. 27.--A special from South McAlester, I. T.. to the Record, says:
 "A bold bank robbery, attended by a desperate battle between 8 posse of cit- izens and the robbers occurred at Kio- wa, small town sixteen miles south of the city, to-day, the robbers securing and destroying about s2S,000, which was in the bank. The men gained entrance to the bank building through a rear window. The first charge of nitrogly- cerine made no impression on the safe, but the noise aroused residents of the town and soon posse composed of fifty men was congregated in the stockyards at the rear of the bank.
 A volley of shots was fired at the building; it was at once returned by the sentinels of the robbers secreted on the outside of the structure. An almost incessant fire was kept up for half an hour during which time the robbers llICiI clLOIt IO Upetl SdL6.
 It required three discharges to force the door. The third explosion was ter rife and almost completely demolished the safe as we'll as the interior of the bank. Paper money was brown to shreds, large quantities of mutilated bills being left by the bandits. After footing the same the robbers left the building from the front and backed off into the darkness, keeping up fire on the posse.
 The men went in southerly direc- tion and were followed quite a distance. It is said that one of the robbers was injured.
 The bank officials place their rr1one- tary loss at $2S,0O0. It is believed that the bandits made away with only a small part of this sum, the paper money being almost altogether destroyed by the explosion. A posse of United States marshals is in pursuit of the robbers.

Great Difficulty Expected In Raising
 the Kiowa.
 Boston. Dec. 27.-The Clyde line steamer Kiowa. which was sunk below Boston light ill the thick snowstorm yesterday by the outward bound fruiter Admiral Dewey. lies on an even keel with her masts and the tops of her smokestack projecting above the wa ter. Her decks are covered by eleven feet of water at low tide and great diffi- culty, it is thought, will be experienced in lifting her. s- s | New York representatives of the Clyde line will reach here tomorrow when plans will be made for an attempt to float the steamer. The Kiowa loaded her cargo at Jacksonville and Charles ton and called at New York en route, where some of her shipments were land ed. A conservative estimate of the value of the merchandise in the vessel at the time of the disaster is $165, 1000.

The Mullah is believed to be in an almost desperate condition be- cause of the lack of a good deal of supplies.
