filed an answer in the office of the
clerk of the court in which most of
Forkner's allegations are admitted but
the claim is set up that those allega-
tions are true and hence there can be
no libel. Last Saturday Forkuer
was tried in Justice Sedgwick's court
at Stevensville upon the charge of
stealing sheep from S. J. Tillman in
January 1894. Justice Sedgwick found
Forkner guilty and fined him $500 and
costs, which are heavy.

FACE A GRIM FACT
War on Panama is Wal
With the United States,
Wires Reyes.
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington, Dec. 23-'War on Panama
means war with the United States,'' is
the substance of cablegrams which Cen
eral Rafael Reyes, the Colombian minister,
is sending to the Bogota government, and
to his more influential followers through
out Colombia. Realizing the gravity of
the situation. General Reyes is endeavor-
ing to- bring the Colombian people face to
face with the conditions here. He is con-
vinced that the United States will not
permit a Colombian army to land within
the territory of Panama.
General Reyes has not been in any
hurry to complete his mission in Wash
ington, thinking that in the meantime the
war feeling in Colombia would subside.
Dispatches. however which ne has re-
ceived from President Marroquin and from
influential Colombians have caused him to
hasten his work, and it is his present in
tention to return TO Colombia and as
sumo personal command of the army as
soon as he has filed his statement at the
State Department In Colombian quart
ers it is pointed out that unless General
Reyes soon returns the war party in Bo-
gotta will gain the upper hand and his
hitherto predominant influence there will
be seriously injured.

II Now Looks Like a Murder.
Especial to News and observerD

(SDeclal 10 News ana sODSerVGf.D
Washington, n. c., Dec. 23.-On the 22nd
of October, the body CT William Joyner,
colored, was found floating in Jacks Greek
near the first bridge that spans the creek
at the foot of Main street. AT that time
the surmise was that he drowned himself,
$50 being found on his person. The
coroner held an inquest over the body, and
the verdict of the jury was that Joyner
came to his death at the hands of per-
sons unknown. A large cash was found
over the left eye of the dead man. and
both Jaw bones were broken and a large
hole made in the cheek. Joyner was last
seen Saturday night preceding the finding
of the body, at Nellie Jacksons, near
Jacks Creek.
Ever since the disappearance of Joyner
the case has been worked. Those behind
the matter believe they have the right
parties and that Joyner was murdered.
Their belief is based upon the fact that
Sunday morning after Joyner was missed
on Saturday night, Sarah Gorham, the six
year-old grandchild of Nellie Jackson,
stated that grandma knocked Uncle Billie
in the head with an axe last night and
dragged him off.
Rumor says the little girl has been
whipped several times for making this
statement. The same night Joyner was
murdered, or so thought, Edwin German,
one of the prisoners, was seen by Thos.
Smith, coming from Jacks Greek, swear
ing that he did not care what he had
done. Edward Gorham and his mother
Nellie Jackson have been arrested and
lodged n iail.
The preliminary hearing of the prisoners
was to have been had before j. P. Amayo
this morning, but the counsel for Gorham,
Stephen c. Bragaw, Esq, asked that the
hearing be continued until Saturday morn
ing at ten O'Clock, so as to give him op-
portunity to look into the matter

BEEF EATERS TO BACK THE PUG -?
1t Really Looks as if the Bear Were
to Have an ArmfuI.
(By the Associated Press }

Berlin, Dec. 23-The German Foreign
Office, in estimating the probabilities OF
wal in the Far East, fixes its attention
at this moment on Great Britain, rather
than on Japan, for it is recommended
that Japan is only waiting for Great
Britain TO give the word before beginning
hostilities. A new and even portentous
element in the situation, as it is looked
upon here, is the rising feeling in Great
Britain that Russia must yield or Japan
and Great Britain ought to fight her.
The Associated Press learns from the
highest diplomatic source that the Ger
man government, while still refusing to
believe that war is certain, Is convinced
now, that if war between Russia and
Japan comes, Great Britain will take
q part in it, because the British govern
ment looks upon war as possibly the
only means of saving and establishing
her position IN the Far East.
Sir Frank Lascelles, the British Am.
bassador, who returned here from England
three days ago, is understood to have
impaired his impression unoffcially tc
the German government that the British
Cabinet apprehended that war would re.
suit if Russia persisted in her present
ATTITUDE toward Japan. IHBS expression
OF opinion by the Ambassador was strip
ped to all suggestion that Great Britain
might participate. but great significance
is attributed to it.
London, Dec. 23.-The British Foreign
Office declined to discuss the statements
made in the Associated Press dispatch
from Berlin today on the ground that
'the contingency was too hypothetical. "
AT the German and other embassies
the impression prevails not however
based on any official communication from
the British government, that the Russian
japanese negotiations have reached sucl
point that it would not be at all sur
prising If Great Britain expressed hel
willingness, providing Japan agrees to ac-
cept ii certain specified compromise, tc
guarantee to back UP Japan, if necessary
by force of arms.
There are no known developments and
the diplomats do not expect any imme
diately, or until the Russian reply tt
Japan's request for a reconsideration OF
fthe latest Russian note is received.

The people see the injustice of many of
