 COLON, Nov. 1.-The steam launch sent to Bocas del Toro to capture that place in the name of the new republic of Panama has returned here, and the officers report that the place was cap tured and the flag hofsted without a shot being fired. No difficulties what ever were encountered.
 The majority of the officials of Bocas del Toro are natives of Panama, and they expressed themselves as rejoiced at the course affairs had taken on the isthmus. The people of the town were 1ubilant at the news, and only a few persons were found to be dissatisfied with the situation. These latter were brought to Colon, but not as prisoners. The provisional government at Pan anna has received a telegram from President Marroquin of the republic of Colombia giving assurances that the Panama canal.bill would most certain ly> pass congress and that General Reyes was on his way to the isthEus to make proposals looking to peace and the saving of the national honor.
 The provisional government has sent a letter to General Reyes, which will reach him on his arrival at Savanilla, advising that it Is useless for him to come to Panama, as his mission Is a hopeless one. E,

Washington Official States Position of
 Administration.

Washington Official States Position of
 Administration.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.--A weli 1rr- formed and high official of the govern ment, who is, authorized to speak for the administration, in an interview has revealed the true position of the ad- ministration with reference to the rev olution in Panama ahd the building of the canal under a proposed treaty be- republic of Panama. A broad and sweeping denial of direct or indirect aid by this government to the revolu- ton is made.
 "Is it true, as asserted" this official was asked, ''that the president and his advisers had set their hearts on the Panama route and long ago determin- ed to dig the canal by that route, even though it had to go to war with Co., lombia?'
 "The administration believed that the Panama route was the best in view of all conclusions reached by the commits sion and in view of the price which the French company finally consented to sell for. It had hoped that it would be able to negotiate treaty with Colom- bia which would have enabled it long ere this to begin the work.
 "The Spooner bill declared for the Panama route in case the United r States should be able to negotiate a treaty within a reasonable time with Colombia which would give it absolute | control of the strip of territory through which the canal ran, and, failing in negotiating a treaty within a reasona- ble time, the government should turn toward Nicaragua.
 Tt is not necessary to review what transpired in our negotiations with Co., lombia. There was nothing underhand about them. A treaty was negotiated which gave the ,Colombians all they wanted. It was very reasonable They acted at Bogota on the principle that they had the only place on the isthmus through which a canal could be con- structed and gauged their attitude to- ward the United States accordingly. They seem to have lost sight of the fact that the United States was the only organization which was ready and able to dig a canal anywhere through the isthmus and that the canal was vital to it's national well being. 'The Colombians, after a long dis cussion, rejected the treaty for various stated reasons. One was their inabili- ty, as expressed by their statesmen, to cede territory and sovereignty, and an- other was that the compensation, all ready raised by the United States, was not sufficient.
 AS a matter of fact, the whole pro- ceeding at Bogota was of such char acter as to compel this government to feel that the Colombians were trifiing with us and that they wanted treaty only on their own terms and were not willing to take into consideration the views of the United States.
 Instead of the question being 'Pana- ma or Nicaragua 1t is now simply Panama and the president will prob. ably rewrite his message to the regu- lar session of congress recommending
 that Panama, in view of the recent events, be the only route hereafter con &idered-,,'

INSECT ON ONIONS.
Capt. E. R. Tarver Says Soft Soap
Will Kill Them.

Laredo, Tex, May 24.-Know-
ing that The Express reaches a
large number of onion growers in
Southwest Texas, l hope it will find
room in its columns for the follow
ing bit of information which may
prove OF some interest and financial
benefit in the cultivation of hext
seasons onion crop.
l planted out last January a
small piece of ground in my garden
with Bermuda onion sets l procur-
ed from Mr.. Nye at North Laredo.
Just as the bulbs began to form l
noticed the stems began to droop
and become spotted. After they were
nearly eaten up | showed them to
an onion grower and lie called my
attention to myriads of minute in
sects on every leaf, and said they
were the onion lice and knew of no
remedy TO get rid of the pests.
At the time there was a large
can filled with emulsion of soap on
the place, which was being used to
destroy some parasite on the rose
bushes. As an experiment, | put on
a pair of old cotton gloves, and
dipping my hands in this soap
emulsion | grasped each onion
plant near the ground and pulled
the tops through this emulsion on
the gloves. On close examination
next day but few OF the insects
could be found alive. These onions
then took on a new life and grew
healthy to naturally. Two boys
ought to be able to apply this
emulsion to half acre per day

BRO WINS VILLES OPPOR-
TTNTTY.

within her grasp the golden OPP
portunity for which she has SO long
sought. A railroad to connect her
with the outside world is to be hers,
# she will but put out her hand
md take it. The HERALD has never
doubted for moment that the
railroad which is projected by
Eriah Lott. to run through the
wonderful artesian belt of Cameron
county to the Rio Grande, is going
20 be built. The magnificent land
subsidy pledged to Mr.. Lott by the
land owners in the upper part OF
s1Ehis county up to within twenty
miles of Brownsville, and the sub
szfantial character of these land
owners who are backing Mr.. Lott,
not only with their land, but with
gbeir influence, makes the project
certainly The very large sum ex-
8ended BY Mr.. Lott and his back
.e.rs in making the survey for this
road alone shows that they mean
business, and they are not people
xho are throwing their money away
on any wildcat scheme. OF that,
THE HERALD feels entirely assured.
The Lott railroad is going to be
.built-to Brownsville, if our people
VII raise the required bonus, and,
# not, then to some other point on
the river higher up. OF course, If it
Eeaves Brownsville out, the effect
will be to make this town virtually
Head for the time being. And equal
Iy of course, our people cannot for
n moment contemplate such an
alternative. 1t may be true that we
might reasonably expect another
I-oad to build in here, but, if so, it
vould very likely have to buy
NEARLY every foot of the right of
way from Alice to Brownsville and
receive no bonus from the large
aand owners of the county, who are
st&ading by Mr. Lott. Under such
conditions, another railroad would
ae more likely TO try to buy the
Lott railroad, already built, than
20 construct one of their own. Mean
while the terminus of the Lott
road, if not at Brownsville will be
ouilt up at the expense of this
Gown. The Arkansas Pass road may
Zoe extended to Brownsville, and it
cnay not The controlling interests
Of that road already own lines run
ming into Mexico, and do not need
another. 1t would probably be to
&heir advantage to check the Lott
scheme. But be that as it may,
Brownsville would be foolish to
aurn loose the bird in hand, for
smother that is yet in the bush.
There is no doubt that the senti-
sGlent of the majority of our citi-
-tens is in favor ofraising the bonus,
cor at least of doing our best towards !
1t, and if the committees in charge
of this work will 90 to work, they
xill succeed. But we must all pull
together and pull hard, and it
rnust be done at once. As announc-
al in yesterdays HERALD, Mr.. Lott
has definite proposition from a
responsible firm of railroad build
.ers to begin work on the road with
sn thirty days, and the time is
short in which to do our part. Our
p1roperty owners will be more then
repaid by the enhanced value of
che remainder of their lands,
should they give even half Of it for
che railroad. Let us hesitate no
longer, but do our best for Browns
1ille. The future of the town and +,
surrounding country rests with the
fneonle. Let US nut the mossbacks

CatacOmbs For Priests.

New York.-An architect has COM
pleted plans for q mortuary chapel in
Calvary cemetery on Long Island,
with an underground cavern for the
burial of priests, resembling the cata.
combs of Rome. The idea is one which
Archbishop Farley conceived while
travelling, through Rome about two
years ago. It occurred to him at this
time that the archdiocese of New York
with it's large number of priests, should
have sach q place for. their burial.
Outwardly there will be little to .indi-
cate the size of the catacombs. It
being intended that the chapel shall
stand over them. The caverns it is
intended, however, shall occupy q
space of about two &C. es, fifty feet be-
low the surface. The walls will be OF
hewn granite. Should the plans be
carried out, it will be the first imita-
ton of the ancient catacombs in this
conntry. The nearest approach to any
thing of the kind exists at the monas-
tery of the Passionists monks in West
Hoboken. Under that institution there
is huge underground vault some sew
enty feet beneath the chapel. There
clothed in that Labit-the most aus
tere in the Catholic church--lie rest
ing on the the remains of the founders
of the order. The custom of so dis
posing of the bodies wa 8 discontinued
about two years ago because of legal
barriers.

that the cardinal might be appoin ted

that Cardinal Rampolla, being the ex-
ecutor of Pope Leo's will, must con-
