 '"The rejection of the canal treaty by Colombia" said a gentleman recently who had been following affairs in that coun- try very closely for the last several years. reminds me of one of the numerous rev. olutions in that Republic, and how 1t was brought to an end by accident. don't remember which one 1t was-I mean It's number, for I have lost my memo randum in whica I had the revolutions of the last forty years arranged alpha betfcally-that is. the name of the rebel leader, with each one numbered. Admiral Jewett Captain McCallR and another American naval officer named Judd, were central figures in the tragedy that brought the revolution to a sudden ter imitation. Admiral Jewett, 1t seems, who was in charge of the American forces at Colon, sent McCalla ashore with 8 de- tachment of men to protect the American interests. Jewett wanted to get away, and determined, without warrant or au- thority, to get the rebel leader and talk the matter over with him. He sent for the fellow-Tve forgotten his name-and he came down to meet the Admiral. In the meantime the rebels, fearing that something might happen to their chief GdpluTGu JuOQ anu tOOA AAtA " bAAC N~ASNAA tains near where the conference was to take place. to watch the palavering from afar. telling Judd that If any harm befell their leader his life would pay the pen-, atty. Before Jewett arrived, it seems, the Americans learned of the capture of Judd, and, the rebels guarding him being in sight, they took the rebel chief. placed a rope around his neck. and made him stand upon a f1at car in full view of the rebels in the mountains. It was not their purpose to injure him, only to secure the release of Judd. But in some way the car got started down hill. the chief was yanked from the car and suspended in midair. Every one was so surprised they never thought of cutting the rope for some time, and when they did the rebel leader was dead and the revolution had thus been brought to an end. But that does not end the story: One of the ofii- cers, a gallant fellow. who was after wards released by the rebels. became i'll and was sent to New York. He was later sent to the insane asylum, where he is at this time, laboring under the haIluci nation that the rebels are still after him. It seems thta when he left Colon he had a large chunk of silver, and when he left the steamer at New York he wandered about the strets aimlessly for time, be- ing finally taken care of by the police. then sent to the asylum"
