CHEERFUL
IN SPITE OF NINE FAILURES
WALL STREET is CALMER.
Situation as a Whole Is Viewed with
More Satisfaction.

New York. July 27.-In spite of, or
probably because of two additional 1all-
ures on the stock exchanged. 5. Hooley
& Co. of this city. and William Bassett'
of Roston-todavs stock market showed
very general improvement and the sit
nation as a whole was viewed with more
cheerfulness.
The Hooley failure was regarded as an
inevitable sequel to that of w. L. Stow
E Co. which came last Friday. The fail
ure of Mr.. Bassott was wholly unimport-
ant as one of the days incidents
The market displayed a hesitating tone
a the outset. many of the railroad stocks
showing fractional declines. Slight i'm
provements soon followed. but prices fell
off to points in the active list. with
even greater declines in the specialties
as soon as the Hooley failure came out
Evansville & Terre Haute. Hooley spe-
cialty. declined 9la points, and the entire
list reflected considerable confusion.
BY the end of the first hour the situation
seemed we'll in hand and the prices ad-
vanced. save in a few instances where
pressure continued to be directed upon
certain stocks.
The Basset failure, announced at noon.
excited hardly any attention. So far as
could be learned Mr. Basset had no out
standing contracts in this city.
Further Improvement was shown by
the market in late session Even Evans
vile & Terre Haute recovered all but a
point of its early loss. Des Moines d

in an interview at his country home in
Cedar Hurst:
1t is a very extraordinary situation

Keene replied Business is good crops

roads are larger than they were last

of all this people have no confidence.
They are appalled, at the tremendous de-

TROUBLE IN PANAMA.
Company of Troops Surrounds the
House of the Governor.

Panama Colombia, July 27.-Not since
the days of the last revolution, when an
attack upon the city by the Liberals was
feared, has there been such a panic in
Panama as occurred Saturday night.
Shortly after 9 o'clock the office of FL
Lapiz, the organ OF the Liberal party on
the isthmus, was visited by officers of
the general staff of the army, who de-
stroyed yesterdays edition of the news
paper. One of the directors was slight
ly wounded. but managed to escape.
AS the office of the newspaper is stu
ated in very populous district, the news
spread rapidly. In the Santa Anas
neighborhood where most of the Liberals
reside, sentiment rose to a high pitch,
and a few of the prominent people coun-
seled retaliation. They took no action.
however.
The next even came like a bombshell.
A company of soldiers, apparently under
the orders of General Vasquez COboS,
commander of the national forces, sur
rounded the residence of Governor Nuts
but the governor and his wife, who is an
American woman, having been warned a
few minutes before the arrival of the
troops, succeeded in escaping.
General Huertas, commander of the
battalion of Colombia, when he learned
of the FL Lapiz incident, repaired to
headquarters, where he found General
Cobos. According to current reports, the
Letter ordered General Huertas TO remain
in quarters. Exactly what has taken
place is unknown, but it is said that Dr.
Aristides Arizona, secretary of the gov
eminent; Fernando Arrange. chief Of po-
lice. and Etram Navia, member of the
departmental superior tribunal Of jus
tice. are under arrest the last named for
trying to argue with General Cobos the
illegality of his action.
An attempt also is said to havve been
made to arrest Senior Guerra, secretary
of finance. but he refused to accompany
the officer who went to his house TO ar
rest him. and when the officer returned
with soldiers to effect his capture. Guer-
IA had departed. The only civil official
on the street this morning was Mayor
Ossa. Governor Nuts spent last night
at the British consulate, but it IS re
ported that he will take refgue IN the
American consulate.
Mr. Gudger further reported that
trouble arose because of the failure Of
the government to pay national troops.
Troops were with drawn at o'clock this

EXPERIMENTAL FARN
Agricultural College Looking
at One Near Mcpherson.
TO MAKE WHEAT TESTS
Different Kinds of Grain viii
Be Tried There.

Mcpherson, Kan, July 27.-The Kansas
State Agricultural college is negotiating
for an experimental farm near this city.
a letter from the superintendent states
that they want small farm of about
twenty acres near the city and con
venient to the railroads. 1t is the in
tenuon TO make some experiments with
the different kinds Of wheat for the first
few years and from this the farm vii.
be enlarged and other Investigations will
be made Of the different kinds Of crops.
1t is thought that the experimenters
will experiment on the different wheat
not affected by the fly, and that in this
way thsy will find some way of destroy
ing the pest. Mcpherson is one of the
best locations in the state for a sta
ton of that sert as it is the center of
the great wheat raising country and the
land is the most productive in the state.

NEVER INTERPRETED.
Only Question Was Cuba's Ability to
Pay the Loan.

Washington. July 27.-Careful inquiry
in executive circles fails to discover any
evidence Of an attempt on the part of
the United States government or its
agencies to interfere in any way with
the placing Of the $S5. 900. 900 Cuban loan.
When the loan was first projected some
inquiries were uRoficially made by the
Cuban agents as 10 whether the loan
would be repugnant 70 the Platt amend
ment. Secretary Root being then in
charge Of Cuban affairs, without making
any official statement let it be known
that the only test that would be applied
would relate 10 the ability of Cuba to
repay the loan and meet the interest 1t
would be for the buyers of the bonds
themselves TO determine whether or not
the loan was sound, for the United States
government did not propose at that stage
20 enter into the subject and the bond
purchasers. realizing the exact risk in
volved, would fxe their bids upon that
basis. As far as can be learned that is
the situation now.
