quin's statement, as conveyed in cable
gram to General Plaza, President of Ecua-
dor, that Generals Reyes, Caballelos, o.
PIMA and Holguin are now marching on
the isthmus to suppress the isthmian
traitors" has set the entire population of
the isthmus laughing.
What is described here as "the United
States broad Interpretation of the clause
of the treaty of 1876, regarding the pro-
lection of traffic across the isthmus," is
deemed ample for the prevention of the
transportation of troops by sea and Of
consequent hostilities The Pacific Steam
Navigation Company, a British concern,
has clause in its contract with Colombia
which says that it must ''under normal
conditions transport Government troops.
1t can be said authoritatively tina, the
company will not transport Colombian
troops under present conditions and that
it has not been asked to do 30. Other
vessels which may bring troops for any
point in Panama will be prevented by the
naval authorities from disembarking them.
1t is generally asserted that the 18TH
mians will eventually insist upon the
separation of church and state, as separa-
tion was one of the measures demanded
by the Liberal party in the last revolution,
and the population of the isthmus is large
ly Liberal.
The junta has invited designs for Pan
amanian coat of arms.

the negotiations have dragged recently
The japanese claim that the Russian

The JIpanese consequently express the
opinion that the object of Russian policy
has been to gain time to reinforce the
army and navy of Russia in the Far East,
SO that she might be prepared for a
possible war.

PROTEST MADE
BY COLOMBIA.
Copy Of the Petition Addressed TO the
United States Senate Reaches
Press.
PAINFULLY SURPRISED.
That We Should Recognize Panama Upon
Barracks Coup -MarrOquin Hopes Our
Legislative Body VIII Help Him.

New York, Noy. 16.-The Evening Post
has received the text of the Colombian
protest. 1t is addressed to the United
States senate and is signed by President
Marroquin. The Evening Posts dispatch
is as follows:
1.-THE president of Colombia has today
addressed the American senate in the fol-
lowing terms:
"'To bis excellency, the president Of
the senate, Washington;
'Excellency: The government and
people of Colombia have been painfully
surprised at the notification given by the
minister Of the United States to the effect
that the government at Washington had
hastened to recognize the government
consequent upon barracks coup in the
department of Panama.
"'The bonds of sincere and un!nter'
rupted friendship which unite the two
governments and the two peoples; the
solemn obligation undertaken by the
American union in a public treaty to
guarantee the sovereignty and property of
Colombia in the isthmus of Panama; the
protection which the citizens of that coun-
try enjoy and will continue to enjoy
among us; the traditional principles OF the
American government in opposition to
secession movements; the good faith
which has characterized the great people
in it's International relations; the manner
in which the revolution was brought about
and the precipitancy of its recognition
make the government and people Of
Colombia hope that the senate of the
people of the United States will admit
their obligation to assist us in maintaining
the integrity of our territory and in re-
pressing that insurrection which is not
even the result of a popular feeling.
"In thus demanding justice, Colombia
appeals to the dignity and honor of the
American senate and people.
"MARROQUIN.'
'It is 10 be hoped the petition for justice
which Colombia makes to the American
people will be favorably received by d
sound public opinion among the sons of
that country.

Thou hast been blowing leaves, o wind of strife.
Wan curled boatlike leaves that ran and fled,
Unrestng yet though folded up from life,
Sleepless though cast among the unwaking dead
Out to the feet and float
Blow blow my little leaflike boat.
O. wind of strife to us a wedding wind
o cover with kisses of her mouth;
Blow thou our souls together, heart and mind
To narrowing northern lines blow from the south.
Out to the feet and float
Blow, blow my little leaflike boat
Thou has been blowing many a drifting thing
From circling down to the unsheltered sea-
Thou blowest to the my blue sails wing,
Us to a new love-lt futurity.
Out to the ocean fleet and float
Blow, blow my little leaflke boat.
