ATLANTA REPORTS.
Colombian Cruisers Did Ap-
 pear In Gulf of Darien.
NO SIGN OF HOSTILE TROOPS ON COAST
Warship Will Resume the Watch Along the Gulf-MOre United States Marines Will Land
 at Cu1ebra Camp.


 COLON Dec. 14-Through the exam ination of the San Bias coast made by the United States cruiser Atlanta and the converted cruiser Mayfower, both of which vessels have returned here, it has been clearly established that the Colombian cruisers General Pinzon and Cartagena appeared in the gulf of Da rien about thirty-six hours after they were reported as having left Carta- gena. No reliable evidence, however, could be obtained to show that any of the troops carried by the cruisers had been landed either on the gulf coast or northwest thereof.
 The Atlanta and the Mayfower made a thorough inspection of the entire vii cinity It was learned that at one coast point the Cartagena embarked small quantity of naval stores, a few bullocks, some corn and fifty pieces of zinc roofing, but no information could be obtained as to the direction taken by the cruiser thereafter. It has been re- ported that Colombian troops were landed at certain point on the Pan- anSa coast, but the Atlanta was present at this place at the time when, accord ing to the report, the troops should have been landed and saw nothing. The information obtained by the At lanta and Mayfiower points to two probabilities, either that the Colombian [ troops have returned to Cartagena or that they have been landed at some point on the coast between Cartagena | hn NN proceeding thence toward Cauca.
 The Indian interpreters aboard the Atlanta conferred with the chiefs of the territory, who gave them positive assurance that no Colombian troops had been landed and who said that i even if they dd land it would be i'm possible for them to pass through. ow- ing to the total absence of mountain trails The Atlanta steamed forty miles farther toward the Atrato river. obtaining similar information every i where. A report to this effect has been made to Admiral Coghlan.
 The United States auxiliary cruiser j Prairie, which sailed from Guantana- mo, has arrived here. The supply ship Culgoa has gone to meet the fleet al Culebra.
 The Atlanta has sailed again toward I the gulf of Darien and will continue g careful patrol of the coast ,- I It would be impossible for the Gar tagena and the General Pinzon to en ter the Atrato river because the mouth I of the river has six foot bar. Nc small boats are obtainable thereabout and no considerable number of troops could be transported up the river.
 The remainder of the marines or board the auxiliary cruiser Dixie vii be landed tomorrow, satisfactory ar engagements having been completed tc obtain good water for the camp a Culebra, on the line of the Panama railroad

How & Teacher I'm am Ohio Township
 Regularly Attends to Her Duties.
 Miss Sarah Scott, teacher of the coun- try school in Franklin township, O., has model school, and she is free from the cares and trials of the ordinary teacher, says the Toledo News-Bee. She is teacher, school and all. She walks two miles each morning, rings the school bell at the regular time of con- vening, observes recess and noon lunch hour and dismisses school at o'clock. But she has not single pupil.
 z When she was appointed last Au- gust it was expected that some children in the district would be sent to school However, all the young folk were quail fled for the district high school, and SC Miss Scott has none to teach. Being under contract, the directors told her to observe the regular school rules, and this she does. Regularly each day she reads from the first primer and does a problem or two from the arithmetic When this is finished she has time for sewing and reading.

What Happened When Mgr. FarEsy
 Met Miss Alice Roosevelt.
 Archbishop Farley went recently to galleries in New York. It happened to be a day when Miss Alice Roosevelt, daughter of the presidents poured tea. Her quick eye caught the imposing fig ure of the ecclesiastic approaching and sparkIed with mischief, says the Chica- go Inter Ocean.
 'tWill you have one lump or two lumps?' she called, with pretty af- fectation of brogue.
 Not failing in banter, the archbishop, lowing gallantly and retorting in kind, responded, "As there's So much other sweetness about, I'll take it slain, your Iadyship."
 - Entering gayly into the chaff, Miss Roosevelt sallied with, Wont you tell me, monsignore, why the Irish ladies in the 'ould counthry' always keep pot of tea on the hob?"
 "Ah, miss, they are cooperating with St. Patrick and trying to keep the snakes out of Ireland. He was the first of the Irish tea drinkers -s ''Yes, and the Irish in York monsignore-is that wh9 e-eir ia vorite beverageg'
 Undoubtedly, undoubtedly he re torted, laughing at the innuendo, "at though the practice here also is chiefly among the Irish ladies. They take tes with their pie. The combination, you perceive, If you say it slowly enough, is 1 form of piety." Under cover of the guns of four cler. ical companions the archbishop retired in safety behind the first line of DOT ] traits. F.
