DEAD REBELS NAME USED
TO AROUSE PANAMA
Lorenzo, Who Was Executed, Re-
ported Again IN the Field.

The character of the news coming
regarding conditions In Panama is not
regarded at the Colombian legation in
as serious a light as the context would
seem to demand under other circum-
stances. Oftentimes there is so much
error with a little perverted truth. 1t
is said. that affairs are made to appear
much different from what they really
are.
Several palpable instances of this
sort have come to light in the past few
days. In a dispatch published from San
Jose. Costa Rica. the statement is made
that Gen. victoriano Lorenzo has es-
capped and is presumably making his
way back to the isthmus" The truth in
this instance, as published in The Times
about six months ago, is that General
Lorenzo was executed at that time by
the Colombian government after convic-
tion for common crimes committed
prior to the revolution. He was arrest
ed but broke Jail and rejoined the revo-
lutionists. On his recapture while the
revolution was in progress he was put
to death. Enemies of the government
raised the cry that he had been exeeut-
ed for political offenses. but this was
specifically denied by DR.. Herran.
There may be some other rebel who
will try to rouse the Indians by using
the name of Lorenzo" said DR. Her
ran, but IL is not the one mentioned
in the dispatch. That one was exc
cuted"

appointed by the board of trade of the

completing arrangements for the line.
Yesterday the committee. which is com

Mr.. Porch said last night that the con-
ference had been satisfactory one md
that indications point more favorably
than before to the selection Of Philadel-
phia as the Northern terminus OF the
proposed line.

treatment in Philadelphia, -" he con-

that the shipment of cotton has COM

in the South. The railroads report n
big business. The mills which have been
compelled to cuTtaiI production because
of the high price of the staple are buying
again. The reason for this condition is
the decision of the big Brown bull pool
to sell the cotton accumulated. and get
ready to take in all of the new crop.
From New York and New Orleans it is
reported that the pool is selling heavily
and that prices are breaking somewhat.
That Brown. who was a poor man a few

To BREAK BLOCKADE
EASTERN RAILROAD LINES NOT
TO RECEIVE WESTERN
FREIGHT.

New York, Jan. 30-western rail-
roads have been notified by Eastern
trunk line traffic officials that dead
freight" cannot be accepted east OF
Chicago until the freight congestion
that has threatened to cripple not
only the railroads centering at Pitts
burg, but also every line with through
connections from Chicago, has moder-
sted. This notice followed the prece-
dent set by the Pennsylvania and the
Baltimore and Ohio at Pittsburg two
weeks ago, when trouble similar to
the congestion during the latter part
of 1892 was foreseen.
The freight blockade at Pittsburg is
scarcely improved since this order
was written. Yards and sidings are
glutted with freight that cannot be
moved. Adverse weather conditions
prevented the full benefit of . cam
paign that had been planned by A. j.
Cassatt to break the blockade on the
Pennsylvania last Sunday. 1t was in
tended to utilize every engine and take
advantage of a day of light traffic to
move the accumulated freight. The
congestion on the Pennsylvania CEN
tiers at Pittsburg, but extends in an
alarming manner all the way from
Chicago to Philadelphia.
